A NEW SOCIAL ERA IN BRITAIN

the Minister of Health will shortly intro
duce, will be some f450 100000 in the
first full year, 1948-9, and will rise to
nearly f50O,000,0 900 in 1954-5. The ex-
chequer will pay the whole cost of
family allowances and national assist
ance (the old Poor Law" and the main
cost of the new National Health Service).
About one-third of the cost of the
present scheme will fall upon the ex-
chequer. The rest will be paid by con-
tributions levied upon all working men,
bers of the population. A workingman,
for instance, will pay shillings and 6
pence go cents per week and his en-
ployer weekly sum of shillings and
pence (72 cents) in respect of that work
man. A married mans contribution
covers himself and his family and all
adult persons must pay their contribu-
tions as all will be entitled to benefit.
There are special rates of contribution
for women workers and employed young

energy potentially capable of revolution
izing the life of the world.
The first of these facts is this:
That the making of the Hiroshima
bomb demonstrated beyond doubt the
rightness of theory expounded by
Albert Einstein as long ago as 1905
namely. that inert matter, like a soup
plate or fistful of uranium, had locked
up within it energy equal to its mass
multiplied by the square of the velocity
Of light. Stated another way, as a
simplifying illustration, the bomb-which
itself utilized only a tiny fraction of its
potential strength-proved that if %
pounds of any substance were converted
perfectly and entirely, the conversion
would yield rs billion kilowatt hours
of energy, or approximately the same
as that produced within a two-month
period by the total American electric
power industry working at full blast.
In fantastic contrast, as the Smyth re-
port points out, only 8.5 kilowatt hours
can be had from the burning of %
pounds of coal.
And the second fact is this, in DR..
Smyths words:
I, "As to the future, one may guess that
technical developments will take place
along two lines. From the military point
of view it is reasonably certain that
there will be improvement both in the
processes of producing fashionable mate
rial and in its use. 1t is conceivable
that totally different methods may be
discovered for converting matter into
energy since it is to be remembered that
the energy released in uranium fission
corresponds to the utilization of only
about one-tenth of ! per cent of its
mass Should a scheme be devised for
converting to energy even as much as a
few per cent of the matter of some COM
mon material, civilization would have
the means to commit suicide at will"
With these two fundamental facts as
a basis of reference, it is possible for
laymen to make fairly sound evalua-
ton OF what may be expected as the
infant atomic age grows older. And
as starting point, even though much
OF the story remains military secret,
it may be re-emphasized that enough
information has been let out to justify,
in connection with nuclear fission, the
use OF such words as "awesome" and
appalling" however hackneyed they
may be.
There is a disposition In some quar-
ters to deplore sensational" talk about
the atom. There is even tendency to
belfttle the power of the bomb. Yet, on

By Harold J. Laski.
Chairman of the British Labor Part,

SHaTman OF tne BRUSH LABOR Party
The Labor government has published
its national insurance bill and when it
finally reaches the statute books, the
responsible minister, James GrifithS,
will be able to say that the freedom on
which the late President Roosevelt laid
so much emphasis-freedom from want
will, at long last, be a part of the
central principles of British social life.
1t is long way ahead of the plan to
which the Churchill government was
committed. There are number of
aspects in which it goes well beyond the
deservedly famous Beveridge report. No
similar plan rivals it either in extent
or quality save that of the Labor gov
ernment of New Zealand.
When it is in full operation some two
years from now, it can, think. be said
with truth that it will Danish the haunt
ing fears of unemployment. sickness and
old age from the lives of the British
workers and their dependents.

shillings (s4.20) and 16 shillings ($3.20)
on account of his wife and for every
child except the first (who is provided
for by weekly grant of I shillings 6
pence ($1.50 under this scheme) and he
receives the free family allowance of S
shillings ($1.00). Thus a man who is sick
and has wife and one child will receive
49 shillings and pence ($9,9O per
week as long as he is i'll. This compares
with IA shillings ($280) per week at the
present time and should be measured
against the normal 3 pounds 10 shil-
lings ($14.00D which, for example, is the
average wage of cultural workers.
If man becomes unemployed, he re-
ceives 26 shillings ($5.20) per week, 16
shillings ($3.20) for his wife and Z shil-
lings pence ($1.5O for each child.
This is payable for period of 80 weeks
without any means test and may be
continued after that period if the local
tribunal believes him willing to work

William Hastie Becomes
Fourth Civilian Governor
of the Virgin Islands

ernor HASTE regarding the creation
Of a resident commissioner Of the
Virgin Islands in Washington, who
would be q non-voting member Of
Congress. Commissioner Pinero
said he would introduce a bill in
the United States Congress for
that purpose.
Hastie, born in Knoxville, Ten
nessee, IL years ago, was edu-
Gated in the public schools Of
Washington, at Amherst College
and Harvard Law School, where
he was an editor Of the Harvard
Law Review. At the fifteenth
reunion Of his class In 1910, Am
herst conferred an honorary de-
gree upon him. After teaching
two years, he returned to Har-
ward for graduate work and
earned the degree Of doctor Of
juridical science.
He has been a practicing lawyer,
a law teacher, and a capable pub
lie servant. From 1884 TO 1887
he was assistant solicitor Of the
Interior Department, from 1887 TO
1889 he was federal judge Of the
Virgin Islands, and from 1889 until
his appointment as governor Of the
Virgin Islands he was dean Of the
Howard Law School.
In November, 1870, Hastie took
leave Of absence from Howard
University to serve as civilian
aide to the Secretary Of War. In
February, 1943, he resigned his
position in the War Department
because Of the "reactiOnary pol
icies and discriminatory prae-
tices Of the Army Air Forces.
ed. Note: He was unable to
get action on the iimcrO and I'M
fair treatment Of Negro fliers and
Oficers.)
He was married on Christmas
day, 1943, to Miss Beryl LOckhart,
whom he met while serving as
federal Judge in the islands. They
have one daughter, Karen, aged
16 months.
The new governor enjoys an in
innate knowledge of the Virgin
Islands through his service there
as district Judge and his earlier
work in the Interior Department
where he assisted in drafting the
legislation which in l946 was en-
acted as the organic act Of the
Virgin Islands.
The Virgin Islands comprise
about so islands or islets, only three
Of which are Of sufficient size TO
be known, except locally, even by
name. The three major islands are
st. Thomas, st. John and st. Croix.

teeship, he said, would be a direct
violation Of this promise.

According to Charles Rogers, in
dustrial secretary Of the st. Paul
Urban League, records show that
the attempt to get Negro girls
hired as operators dates back to
1888 when Clarence Mitchell was
Urban League secretary.
During the past year" Rogers
said, "Mr. Owens and l have had
at least a half dozen conferences
with top management executives
at the telephone company. AL
though there are two girls who are
employed in a clerical capacity,
and have been upgraded, we have
had absolutely no success in get
ting anyone in as an operator"
Louise Bradshaw Stokes and
Jessie SchOffner are the clerical
workers who have been upgraded.
Newspaper advertisements in
both cities ask for girls to be
trained on the job as operators.
The ads offer switchboard trainees
S27.OO per week while training.
According to H. L. Dowd, st.
Paul district manager Of North
western Bell Telephone company,
special preparatory classes using
dummy switchboards are no longer
used to train new girls.
There are no vacant switch
boards available right now to train
new girls. We use training-on-
the job facilities under the direc-
tion Of an experienced person."
He said that such training means
oulder-to-shoulder contact and
crossing of hands.
Have to Pick People
Dowd also stated that People
come in and demand jobs, and we
have to pick them on the basis of
ability and background Just as
other businesses do"
He said Mrs. Blakey didn't even
wait to fill out an application. OF
future hiring policy, all that Dowd
would say is, II wouldn't say we
would never hire Negro girls"
