The Red Dean

THE Very Rev. Hewlett Johnson Britain's Dean
of Canterbury-often and appropriately called
the "Red Dean" Of Britain because of his COM
munistic views-has given the American people
something new to consider in connection with the
impending British loan,
Speaking at Communist rally in London, he
said that in everything except religion the United
States is 100 years behind the rest of the world
and that in religion it is 80 years behind.
This seems to come with poor grace and in
bad taste from one of the most highly placed
spiritual advisors Of nation so recently saved
not merely once, but twice-from disintegration
and destruction In war by timely and decisive
American intervention.
However, let us take the Red Dean at his
word.
IF AMERICA is so far behind the rest of the
world in culture and education and all the men,
tai and spiritual refinements and especially in
religion, surely America should DO something
about it.
We should devote all of our energies and
resources to the alleviation of this sad condition
Of course, if we do this, we will no longer be
able to divert our resources into loans or gifts for
the benefit of other nations as we have so often
done in the past and as we are now contemplating
doing for the benefit of Britain
In fact, the very first segment of our re-
should be the four billion four hundred million
dollars we have been considering loaning to
Britain.
IF WE are 100 years behind Britain in all things
but religion and $50 years behind her in that
as Britain's Red Dean frankly thinks and bluntly
says-surely our NEED of the money is greater
than the need of Britain.
BY all means, therefore, let us KEEP it
since we are advised by so eminent an authority
that we have so great need for it.
And if we must spend the money, let us spend
it for the enlightenment of our.peope, and to lift
from them the veil of darkness which denies to
them the higher and finer conditions of life to
which those so far ahead of us have attained.
Let us no longer disperse and dissipate our
resources-of which we are so unaccountably in
such abundant possession-in profhgacy abroad,
at least until we have bettered our condition in
sufficient degree that Britain can accept our
largess as from an equal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL
(INS) - President Truman
announced tonight that Philip
Murray, president of the CIO.
has agreed to postpone for
one week the strike of 70O,.
900 steel workers originally
set for midnight Sunday.
The Chief Executive expressed
a conviction that settlement would
be reached which would end the
strike threat entirely.
The President made the an-
nouncement at the conclusion Of Q
White House conference at which
he appealed to both Murray and
Benjamin F. Fairless, president Of
the United Steel Corp, to avoid
strike.
NEGOTIATE WAGE SCALE
The Chief Executive expressed
that Fairless had submitted to the
White House conference a wage
boost offer for the 700, 900 steel
workers and that Murray had
made counter-proposal.

that the Steel Workers and the
companies were but one and

that the union had offered to
accept an increase OF 10 cents

He said the matter will stand
there until further conference

workers whose strike led to gov
ernment seizure of key refineries
three months ago.
In the steel wage dispute Mr..
Truman did not reveal the nature
of Fairless' wage boost offer or
Murray's counter-proposal.
Before the White House confer
ence was held today. Y. s. Steel
had proposed wage increase Of
