Mr.. AttIee's Speech

Prime Minister Attlee's address to
Congress, and 1t was hardly to be
expected that there should have
been. What he was trying primarily
to do-and he did 1t well-was to
quiet some Of the apprehensions
which have been expressed in this
country over the rise to power Of
Socialist government in Britain
and to emphasize, his belief in the
mutually of interest between his
country and the United States in
world in which the old factors
Of space and distance have lost
much Of their meaning.
Britain's Socialist government, he
said, is in no sense threat to in
dividual freedom or to freedom Of
press, speech or religion. 1t is op-
posed, however, to what he described
as the Overwhelming strength Of
monied interests" and to "big busi-
ness" which has grown so powerful
that 1t becomes monopolistic. In
those remarks there was nothing
new. Their effect on his congress
sional listeners will be governed
largely by the views Of the individual
members of his audience. Those
who feel that organized labor has
become the most powerful interest"
of the times will note that he voiced
no criticism of the strikes which are
harassing Britain. And those whose
principal concern is with big busi-
ness" and "monopolies" will find
themselves in accord with what he
had to say about the program OF his
own Labor party.
Most Americans will examine with
greatest care the Prime Minister'S
comment on British foreign eco
nomic policy. for it is in this direc-
tion that British interests and those
of this country are most likely to
clash. Mr.. Attlee dealt in generali-
ties on this score, discussing the
abundant market for both British
and American goods which would
arise with general advance in the
standard of living throughout the
world. In the text OF his speech
which had been distributed in ad-
vance of its delivery. however, Mr..
Attlee said the British could see no
reason, in an expansive world econ
omy, why there should be any rival
ry between U.s." In his actual ad-
dress to Congress this was changed
to undue rivalry"
The change unquestionably was q
sensible one, for a certain amount OF
rivalry is not only inevitable but de-
sirable. Nevertheless, the interpola-
ton of the word undue" will be
noted with considerable interest, for
it is on this score that serious diff
ferences between the two govern
ments are most apt to arise. If "un-
due rivalry" proves to mean reason
able rivalry there will be no trouble
at all. But If Mr.. Attlee's govern
ment, in the course Of implementing
a Socialist experiment in Britain
should find it expedient to resort to
foreign trade practices which dis
criminate against American business
an entirely different situation will
be created.
The Prime Minister, properly
enough, did not elaborate on this
matter in his address to Congress
But he undoubtedly is well aware OF
the fact that it touches upon a ques-
tion which concerns many Ameri-
rams

to have contributed his own powers
to the living body Of education In

rational, dreamer but also doer

Three Searching Questions
TO the Editor of The Star:

some real strike experience!
I'm interested. Naturally, Govern
ment employe rating PA, but required
to accept Pa job and only $2,sso per
Year, who must spend over one fourth
OF his salary to get to work in Balti-

Perhaps your readers can think up
answers to questions that insist on COM
Ing to the fore because of the new de-
velopments.
!. What advantages am getting out
OF my B. A. and IL. B. degrees, to say
nothing Of 25 years Of specialized ex-
perience?
Q. Where is my right to strike and
still hold on to my Job?
3. What happens to the millions Of
disabled veterans and injured industrial
workers whose compensation or disa-
bility checks are devitalized every time

Sees Only Atonement
To the Editor Of The Star:
Providence placed the atom bomb
hrst In our keeping. We betrayed our
trust. We used 1t against the human
race. The excuse that It would shorten
the war and save lives was not justi-
liable. for It indicated warfare that
would destroy civilization itself. We
are unworthy even to 30 down in in
fanny.
The only atonement we can make is
to take all our Allies into complete
confidence rs regards the atom bomb,
thus allaying their fear Of us, and
making It possible for cooperation
looking toward world peace.
There arc Is many opportunities and
ways Of promoting world peace 8 there
are grains Of sand On the seashore.

introduced the original idea Of
synchronizing his own playing to
that of an orchestra which we
hear only through the medium
of record. He carries his own
machine and discs with him.
This synchronization is perfect,
as demonstrated last night with
Liszt's Fourteenth Hungarian
Rhapsody, TO the tune of the

two years in helping to construct
a railroad in this country for use

when the mercury did not go

days it climbed to more than $50
degrees.
He returned to Key West by
way of the Atlantic, so that,
when he landed here, he had

400 Bucks A Lot

4UU BUCKS "A LOT
Well, the die is cast for those
property owners who have vacant
lots in the city. The city may
soon force you to clean up your
lots four times a year. Karl
Thompson recently paid $500 to
have his lot on Eaton between
Duval and Whitehead cleaned.
The lowest price for cleanup OF
the average vacant lot is about
$40 or $50. Thus, there will be
added to taxpayers expenses
about $3.50 to $400 a year on each
piece of vacant lot property you
own. Another thing, this ordi-
nance is proposed just for those
property owners in the heart"
of the city and not everywhere
within the city's limits. l cannot
but think this proposition is most
unfair. 1t is quite well to urge
cleanup of all sidewalks, vacant
lots and otherwise but to urge
that all vacant lots are to be
cleaned up is quite unjust at this
time. Here's a good time to wish
that you don't own property in
Key West.

l,soo Navy Coming IN

Latest hot scuttlebutt to go the
rounds is that the Anti-Sub School
at the Section Base will shortly
be the largest naval activity on
the island and that besides the
900 officers and men now at the
base there will shortly be 1900
more come in. That's about g.
400 personnel. These are expect
ed to get here about the middle
of January. The civilian ranks at
the Navy Bases and Naval Air
Stations are rife with rumors that
soon civilians will be largely re-
placed. This will be a big blow
to the island population, who
make their living by working at
the Navy Base.
