MIR. HARRIS OPENS: The Social
ists have been In Office In England
since July 5, 1945. Labor u on trial
and has been on its best behavior.
Economic conditions have operated
In their favor. European production
Is at a standstill and the whole world
is clamoring for goods The Socialists
point with pride to the remarkable
recovery Of Britain's export trade,
which is simply due to accumulated
demand and short supply. AT home'
living conditions are worse than ever
before. Bread is to be rationed; there
has been a cut in soap and the new
houses promised are still pie In the
sky. At the Bournemouth Congress,
the Labor Party dropped its demand
for a 40-hour week, one Of its an
nounced goals. Here in America,
everything is operated against rapid
reconversioa. America has been vast
ing her time and substance in indus
trial strife, to such an extent that
the struggle for sectional advantage
by pressure groups threatens to throw
the economy of the country out OF
gear. Since We Day, 46 hours have
been lost by strikes in the states for
every working hour lost in England.
Yet living conditions are better,
wages far higher and work hours
shorter than in any of the state
controlled Utopias. America, now
sole remaining champion of free en-
terprise, is so successful under this
system that she is rapidly assuming
the role of universal provider for a
socialized world.
MIR. CRAVEN CHALLENGES: Mr..
Harris opening mas little to do with
the question. Britain has emerged
with third of its factories and
houses destroyed and many Of its
people dead or injured. Every COM
petent observer has agreed she has
made a marvellous job Of reconver-
sion with a minimum of friction,
made possible by rigid controls and
scientific planning. Britain must ex-
port OF Gle; new housing must take
second place. Ra:ioning Of bread and
other staples is the result Of the coun-
try's great contribution to Europe's
needs. Britain should be honored, not
condemned, for the sacrifices Of it,
citizens.
ME-. HARRIS REPLIES: No one b
condemning Britain, but only the So
cialist Government for complete fail.
ure to live up to its election pledges.
Churchill scorned to promise q war.
weary Britain a cheap-jack Utopia.
Today conditions in many Of thu
states of Western Europe. which were
occupied. are better than they are in
England. Instead Of attending to BUSH
ness, Labor has been on a political
spree The fl,ll effect Of the rigid con-
trols, which ate being rapidly ex-
panied. is Sc, to be felt. It is q mon
strnus conce,t that politicians should
believe they can defy established eco
noric practice and teach technical
men to RIM 'hoir business.

Organized baseball long has failed to provide 8 place for its most glamorous figure, so Ruth can scarcely be criticized for turn ing below the Rio Grande.
 Baseball belong to the world, not only to the United States said the old Sultan of Swat, step ping into the plane for his first trip since Pearl Harher. "The Japanese, for example, were in- sane about the game before the war. On my visits there knew of Well-to-do business men get- ting up at o'clock in the morning to play it before going to business. Such enthusiasm should be enceur- aged, so why knock down the Mexi- can effort?"
 Saved Game
 Ruth, who switched from the pitchers box to the outfield to revo- lutionize baseball with towering home runs, made the public forget about the Black Sox scandal that broke in the Fall of 1920, built Yan- kee Stadium.
 The Bambinos life and soul are wrapped up in baseball. He pines that he is no longer an integral part of it.
 Even the New York Chapter oi the Baseball Writers Association composed of men whom he sup piled with some of the more thrilling material for stories seemed to have given the Ban the go-by. No longer did he oc- cupy a place of distinction al their famous annual dinner.

Smug Magnates Chase Ruth to Mexico
 For Baseball Recognition He Deserves

At the more recent get-togethers he has sat neglected at an eb- scure table on the far fringe of things, desolate, neglected and bitterly disappointed onlooker. Men who never had anything to do with baseball and contributed nothing to it spoke while he wasn't even called upon to take a bow.
 Baseball has called on Ruth only when it wanted something In 1942, at the age of 48, ne | packed Yankee Stadium with 8O,OOO admirers, for war funds and hit a home run off Walter Johnson!
 Ruth remains by far. the most popular man who ever played the game, blocks traffic every time he shows up as a spectator at Yan- kee Stadium.
 Ruth has yearned for public acclaim to such an extent that hf resorted to public golf matches ano even to refereeing wrestling match eS.
 The Bam remains striking fig ure of a man, speaks better thar he knows. Money is no object He had radio program, which in several weeks paid him more than any baseball job could hop' to. He'd be a corking good vii ambassador, an ideal man in promotion department, a capahl scout All he wants is basebal connection.
 Little wonder the Mexical League is giving the organizes game headaches.
 That isn't much of trick whel Babe Ruth has to go down yonde for the baseball recognition he s richly deserves.
