The first reaction to the British cleo
tions was 1t makes no fundamental
difference. That phase is already over.
Gradually the country is awakening to
the fact that if the Labor government
succeeds, the United States is going to
stand alone, as the only great private
capitalist country in a largely Socialist
world.
The reactions to this dawning recog-
milton are various. At one extreme stands
Mark Sullivan, who sees the issue of
Capitalism versus Communism co-joined
between the United States, and Britain
and Russia, with most of Europe gravi-
tating toward the latter two. He sees
the role of the American President as
that of the boy who stood on the burn
ing deck whence all but he had fed and
as the last knight of the cause of capi-
talist freedom.
Others see that the world trend is
more likely to aid the Democrats than
the RepublicanS-and, after all, Mr.. Tru-
man Is a Democrat. The left wing in the
Democratic party-which for II years
has been the more dynamic-will ex-
plot it for bigger and better new deal
ism around the issue of full employment.
But I would like to explore in this
column the dilemma of the conserva-
tive, and put myself for moment, in
his place-at meeting, let us say, of
the board of directors Of an American
industry.
AT. that meeting there will be a die
hard, and like all die-hards. including
Leon Trotsky. there will be both sense
and logic in his argument He will take
the viewpoint that capitalism cannot
succeed in a single country, but that
though it has suffered many vicissitudes,
it still has life and power, and that the
time has come to fight. America, he
will argue, has become the production
and financial center of the world, and
can make or break other economies, and
it must attach such strings to its aid
as will influence the other economies
back into the paths of righteousness.
Now, he will not figure on bringing
Russia back to the fold. But the British
experiment is only just beginning, and
the British economic position after this
war will be weak. So, he will argue,
though nothing can be done about Rus
sia, considerable can be done about
Britain. He will argue that if we starve
the British economy and thus make the
Labor government a failure, the dis
gruntled people will oust 1t within three
or four years.
This is the viewpoint expressed by
ex-senator Wolcott of Connecticut, who
says, I'VE must be sure that any Amer

Our Dead in the Pacific

Our Dead in the Pacific
To the Editor Of The Star:
Since my return from the Pacific
theater of war I've noticed with much
interest the clamor of relatives of those
men who made the supreme sacrifice for
their country to have Congress appro-
pirate funds to have their loved ones
remains brought home for re-burial
Having assisted in the burial of my un-
fortunate comrades, I happen to know,
as all other men on the scenes know, that
this is neither practical nor possible, as
much as it might be desired. However,
for the readers of your newspaper, and
in hopes that other newspapers may be
interested, I wish to make the following
suggestion to help alleviate the anxiety
OF the beloved ones at home. If each
county and city would set aside public
funds sufficient to erect suitable monu-
ment in their nearest cemetery, with a
bronze plaque containing the names of
their local boys, giving the place they
perished in battle or were wounded prior
to death, it would, in my mind, serve as
a public honor and place of memorial
worship for all time to come.

This Changing World

ture take its course" And the pros
poets today are that In Spain and
possibly in Portugal nature" will take
a violent course.
In recent weeks the Portuguese gov
ernment of Premier Antonio Salazaf has
been given much attention by the Rus
sian broadcasting stations. Portugal Is
a corporate republic-a polite name for
a mild form of totalitarianism-in which
elections are permitted but only one po-
litical party is allowed to exist DR..
Salazar has been at the head Of the
affairs of the nation for many years
and has given no real cause for COM
plant in this war by favoring the Axis
in any way. He kept his country in a
friendly neutrality and gracefully sur
rendered the Azores to the British when
these islands became vital to the cause
OF the United Nations.
But the Soviet overseas broadcasting
stations have recently begun a violent
campaign against the government of
DR.. Salazar, who is being accused of
having the same tendencies as MuSso-
lini, Hitler and Franco. The principal
accusation against the Portuguese Pre-
mier is that he allowed Portuguese ter
ritory to be used by the organizer of the
Spanish civil war, Gil Robles, as a
spring board for the Spanish National
lists.
In this respect the Russian official
broadcaster is correct. The Spanish civil
war was organized in 1885 by refugees
from Spain in such frontier towns as
Elvas, Lagos and Tavira. But after hay-
ing established this historical truth the
Russian broadcaster becomes somewhat
imaginative by describing how millions
of Moors from Spanish Morocco were
given passage through Portugal to in
wade Spain. The entire population of
that area in Morocco does not exceed
100000 persons of all sex and age.
The Soviet press and radio attacks
against foreign countries are never taken
lightly. They represent the displeasure
of the Moscow government with a spe-
cific ruling class. In the past they fore
shadowed military action unless there
was a drastic change in the setup of
the target"
In countries far from the borders of
the u S. S. R. such as Spain and Portu-
gal they merely show that the Russian
government has given the green light
to the parties opposing Franco and
Salszar to start the movement to over
throw both dictators.

for Canadian Courtesy
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I would be less than public spirited
did I not call attention to one important
factor in the good relations between the
United States and Canada-the uniform
courtesy of the Canadian immigration
and customs inspectors.
For nearly twenty years have been
crossing over through various ports Of
entry to summer camp in Canada,
usually laden down with baggage. With
only one exception-when I once en-
countered suspicious and surly officer,
who was promptly dealt with by his su-
periors-I have found the Canadian
officials patient. friendly and co-opera-
tive to a degree "over and above the
call of official duty"
I am confident that thousands of
American tourists will join me in this
simple word of appreciation of the men
who make this important contribution
to international good will. Frontier
difficulties. such as plague travellers in
Europe, simply do not exist between the
United States and Canada.

The Light of Hope
BY Maj. George Fielding Eliot

we have convinced the plain people Of
all the world that it has meaning and
a value to them, and to their children,
which demands its preservation as
matter of individual necessity, of indi-
vidual welfare.
II, in the end, 1t is not proven-by
facts, not words-that our victory is
worthwhile in terms Of happiness, op-
portunity, hope for the millions. that
victory and the immediate results
thereof will not revive.
Democracy will never be safe as long
as it does not organize the world for
safety and extend that safety, in one
of the individual
Peace will never be secure as long as
there exists anywhere an area Of hu-
man misery within which 1t Is possible
to persuade men that their condition
might be bettered by breaking the
peace.
In the end, the world can have but
two kinds Of peace: The peace OF
agreement, based on the consent Of all
and functioning through organized
democratic arrangements, or the peace
of slavery under a single domination.
We have fought victoriously to pre-
vent the latter sort of peace from being
fastened upon us; our victory will not
be complete until we have substituted
the former for the thing we have over
thrown.
OF course, the various peoples of the
United Nations do not all look at these
problems from the same point of view
as far as their domestic institutions and
ways of life are concerned. 1t is not
necessary, it is not even desirable that
they should. But 1t is necessary that
they should all, as individual human
beings, be convinced by its results that
the victory for which they paid so great
price was worth the winning, and that
the decisions now being taken in their
name are being taken in their true in
terests.
The political, the military, the eco
nomic decisions of Potsdam, and those
Of the conferences yet to come, win be
weighed and found wanting by the
peoples unless they are illumined by the
light Of hope.

Browder Bows Out

There will be less interest in the
dropping of Earl Browder by the
American Communists than in the
revival of "class warfare" which
seems implicit in the discarding Of
the Browder thesis that mutual ad-
vantages are to be had in co-opera-
ton between labor and capital.
When Browder came forward with
his new doctrine after the Teheran
Conference he carried most Of the
Communists with him. A few, no
tably William z. Foster, who has sue
ceeded to Communist leadership, re-
fused to 60 along, but it was not
until the French Communist leader,
Jacques Duclos, recently challenged
the correctness" of Browder's views
that any serious public threat to his
leadership appeared. Now, however,
the Communists, recanting all along
the line, have thrown Browder over
board. abandoned the Communist
Political Association, and have re-
constituted the old Communist
party.
If there are to be any significant
repercusSions from these changes
they will come in the industrial field.
Prior to Russia's involvement in the
war. American Communists were
able to inspire strikes that seriously
embarrassed our rearmament pro-
gram. And they may be able to do
as much again. In this connection,
1t will be instructive to watch the
course followed by certain labor
leaders, such as Frederick Myers,
vice president of the National Mari

agent for the United Automobile
Workers. and David Davis, business

Pressure for an immediate change in
the Spanish structure apparently comes
more from outside the country than
from inside, where the police forces are
still strong enough to prevent any mass

The announcement was made recently
to the Spanish people through the

that Spain is veering toward another
form of government leading eventually
to monarchy. AfterWard the station,
Independent Spain, which American
direction finders have located in the
U. S. S. r.. commented that the only
way the SpaniardS can regain their
freedom is through thorough purge
of the present regime.
Such purges in continental Europe are
brought about by revolutions followed
by executions at the hands of the
peoples courts, whose legal basis is
their fanatical adherence to their cause.
So long as the Churchill government
remained in Office, Generalissimo
Franco believed he could retire gracefully
by handing over the government

heir to the Spanish throne. But the
defeat of the British Conservative party
at the polls has dashed Frances hopes.

The Luski Statement

Professor Harold J. LaSki has is
sued a statement setting forth in
general terms the program OF the
incoming British Labor government.
1t is undoubtedly authoritative, be-
cause Professor Laski. while holding
no public office, is chairman OF the
Labor party's national executive
committee, a body which deliberates
and advises upon party policies,
both domestic and foreign. The
committees recommendations, while
not binding upon the party's politi-
cal leaders, are usually given careful
consideration. Undoubtedly Profess
sor Laski's statement was passed
upon by the new cabinet heads be-
fore release to the press, and can
therefore be deemed clear indica-
ton of the Labor governments po-
litical strategy and tactics. This is
shown by the effect produced by the
statement upon the London stock
market, where Bank of England
shares broke badly, depressing the
general list, accompanied by a move
ment into dollar" stocks, especially
Canadian.
The stock-market break was logi-
cal in view of Professor Laski's as
sertion that public ownership of the
Bank of England is the key to the
Labor party's naturalization pro-
gram and that legislation would be
Immediately proposed to take it

declared LaSki. "A government
which is not responsible for the
operation of credit is not master in
its own house." He then went on to
indicate the order in which the ma
tionalizing process would be ex-
tended to other fields. beginning
with the coal mines. extending to
all forms of inland transport, and
placing Iron and steel rather at the
end, so as not to disturb an industry

effort"
Regarding foreign policy. Profes-
sor Laski stated: Our first great
task is the utter defeat of the Japa-
nese. Before the most pressing Of
our domestic problems we intend to
fulfill our maximum obligations in
the Far East" Regarding Europe
Laski had surprisingly little to say
