State Department
Helps cubons
Raise u. s. Prices

Washington (FP)-The State
Department is partially response
BILE for a deal which is bound to
cost American consumers $780,
100000 in the coming year because
of 2 cent a pound increase in re-
tail sugar prices, Federated Press
learned Oct /.
In July an agreement was work
out with Cuban sugar interests
which guaranteed them a boost in
the price paid them for raw sugar
corresponding to the rise in the
cost of living index in the U. S.
In other words, if U. S. living
costs rose, the State Department
agreed to give the Cuban sugar
kings a corresponding jackup for
their sugar-and charge the bill to
the American consumer.
Main reason for the deal, State
Department spokesman told FTP,
was "to curtail initiation in Cuba"
He went on to explain that meant
giving more dollars to the island
sugar men so they could buy the
same amount of U. S. products as
before. No mention was made of
passing the purchasing power
down the line to the Cuban sugar
workers.
An OPA official said that the
present zombie price control law
provides for manufacturers pass
ing increased production costs on
to the consumer, and therefore the
sugar boost will also hit the house
wife directly when she buys prod
ucts using sugar such as candy,
beverages, canned fruits and vege
tables.
Another angle to the picture is
the fact that an amendment to
the price control act introduced by
Sen. Abe Murdock makes it i'm
possible for the increased price to
the Cuban growers to be taken out
of a subsidy fund. Therefore the
full increase must be paid by the
Commodity Corp. government
sugar buying agency and passed
on to the consumer.
Domestic cane and beet sugar
from whom Murdock
acted, then can claim the price in
crease to keep them on a par with
the Cubans. Since domestic grow
ers produce more than the Cubans
for U. S. consumption, the Muir
dock amendment hits consumers at |
retail more heavily than the State |
deal.

member of the society, it is also
hoped to increase the well-belng
of the society as a whole.
This does not mean that the ex-
pertinent will surely work, or
needs to be attempted in the much
richer United States. The expert
ment is needful in Britain because
at this moment, Britain Is poor.
And it may not work for that very
reason, since it is difficult to 90
a big job on a narrow margin
Nevertheless, the American hber-
ais, who proclaim their belief IN
civil liberties yet banker after the
social welfare and economic plan
ming of the Soviet Union, would
do well to study the British expert
ment. The British Labor Party is
doing what they want to see done,
and doing it without the sacrifice
Of any essential freedom.
They might particularly ex-
anime the remarkable series OF
votes by which British working
men rejected the Communist Par
ty. In certain British trades unions,
such as the coal miners and the
compositors, the Communists and
their sympathizers had made con-
siderable Roadway In the bad
years between wars. The leaders
advocated merger Of the Commun-
lists with the Labor Party.
But when the issue was referred
to the rank aid file before the
annual party conference, the rank
and file voted the other way by
huge majorities. The compositors,
for example, we're eight to one
against merger although their exc
cutive board was thirty-two tc
thirty-one in favor. An American
observer cannot help but suspect
that part Of the success Of the
Labor Party to date arises ron
the fact that British trades unions
are thoroughly democratic and
thoroughly British. It is easier fol
men of all classes to accept
peaceful revolution when these
truths are in everyone's mind.

a comparable but a much bigger

a comparable but a much bigger
and more radical event, transfer
ring the power from the middle
class to the mass of the people.
A peaceful revolution is bound
to be duller than a bloody one
and there is no doubt of the peace
full character Of the revolution in
Britain. Professor Harold Laski,
the stormy petrol Of the British
Labor Party, used to predict that
the British governing class would
never accept socialism without
violence. But he now cheerfully
admits that he was wrong.
He could hardly do otherwise,
when Viscount Cranborne. the
wise conservative leader of the
House of Lords, genially conspires
with the government Chieftain,
Lord Addison, to insure passage
of the Labor Party measures
without Gripping amendments.
British Conservatives can be bitter
against the Labor Party. They
are most bitter against the Labor
Party's measures to nationalize
basic industries, which are intend
ed to make the Socialist Revolu-
ton permanent by putting the
basic economic power in the hands
of the state. Yet their bitterness
does not make them forget the
need to make the machine Of gov
eminent work. Thus NO one is sur
prised that more than half Of the
numbers of the board, chosen to
run the nationalized coal industry,
are business administrators and
technicians who probably voted
against Labor at the last election.
Despite the absence of any faint
of blood in the British Revolu-
ton, political observation is excit-
ing : Britain today, and especi-
ally so to anyone who has watched
the progressive bankruptcy of the
American Left since the death OF
Franklin Roosevelt. There are big
men at the head Of the new British
government. Herbert Morrison
heads UP the whole domestic
economy, and Ernest Bevin, who
directs the foreign and imperial
policy, have always been known
to be big men. Clement Attlee.
although he remains dim as a polit-
ical figure, is emerging as a pow
erful head of government and co
ordinator. Younger leaders like
Aneurin Bevin, who directs the
vast British program of health
and social welfare, more far
reaching than anything we have
dreamed of, and John Strachey,
who has the difficult assignment
at the Food Ministry, are getting
the opportunity to make their
mark. And the lower ranks Of the
Labor Party are crowded with
still more youthful men of promise
who are beginning to gain repu-
tations, like Attlee's former eco
nomic adviser, Douglas Jay, anc
Bevin's assistant, Hector Mac
Neil.
Furthermore, the Labor Part,
has need of big men to execute
its immense program. The new
cradle-to-grave Social Security
Bill and the National Health Bill
socializing medicine would b.
adequate achievements for mos
governments. But establishing
minimum of well-being for ever.
individual is only one half Of tn
Labor program. The other hal
