Britain TO Complete
Reconversion in '46,
Morrison Predicts
By the Associoted Press

BOURNEMOUTH. England, june
13.-Herbert Morrison, Lord Pres.
ident of the Council, told the Labor
party conference today that British
reconversion would be completed
this year but 1947 will still be
pretty tough"
The famine threat may well dom
mate" next year, Mr.. Morrison said
He opened a debate on the Labor
government handling of manpoWe1
and economics.
Mr.. Morrison said 1947 will be a
year of tight supplies and lack OF
elbow room but we can reasonably
look forward to an increase of i'm
ports"
Refuse to Censure Foreign Policy.
The conference refused yesterday
to censure Ernest Bevin's conduct
of British foreign affairs, but passed
resolution today criticizing farm
policies and calling on the govern
ment to improve working and well
fare conditions for farmers.
Mr.. Morrison said industrial re-
conversion was progressing smoothly
under the Labor government plan
ming. He contrasted the changeovel
to the muddle, the imitation and
then the smash which was char
acteriStic of industrial conversion
under Tory and capitalistic handling
at the end of the previous war"
He said the government would re-
fuse to direct labor and expressed
The hope that increased production
would be attained by intensive me-
chanization.
Aim to Avoid Depression.
The government is rapidly build
ing an overall planning organiza-
ton that will amount to an eco
nomic general staff" to develop the
Socialist program of full employ
ment." he said. Our whole pur-
pose is to stimulate real economic
drive.
If unhappily a depression were
to occur in the United States
which heaven forbidden if world
depression were to occur. we are
preparing to avoid repercussions on
the economic life of our own coun-
try.
Economic planning is the strong
basis for true liberty This is the
testing time for Socialists. .. .
The British people will show the
world the way to successful. prac-
teal democracy by people working
for the people"

lister of State, was elected chairman
of the Labor party last night, sue

IN HER OWN RIGHT
(The Christian Science Monitor


 Eleanor Roosevelt's election as chairman of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights is far more than just tribute to one of the founders of the United Na- tions, Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is the fruition of her own life time devotion to the cause of human rights
 It also is a recognition of the able service she performed in standing for those rights at the U. N Con- ference in London. There she aroused the admiration of her col- leagues and others for able leader ship in winning for European ref ugees the right to determine for themselves the question of whether or not they should return to their native lands.
 Though Mrs. Roosevelt's predilec- ton for travel has often brought her criticism and even ridicule, it also has brought to her a wide firsthand knowledge of world con- ditions and deepened her under standing of peoples and nations. These, combined with her sturdy championship of democratic prin- ciples, make her well fitted for the task of the Commission. That task she sees as promoting the ultimate objective of the United Nations-"to keep the peace by helping human beings to live better together and so to be happy and contented.'

THE TIDE OF SPRING
(New York Times)

(NeW York Times)
 Spring comes along so swiftly now that you can scarcely keep up with 1t. Go down the counary road that you walked day before yesterday and you find changes almost beyond belief You have to walk that road every day to see what is happen ing; delay your walks a week and you will have quite lost touch. You have to start all over again.
 Ferns that were fiddle-heads a week ago are spreading fronds to- day, and thaS big clump atthe cor crossroad is clearly an interrupted fern. Its spore fronds can't be mistaken. The fly honeysuckle is in fat bud and will be open within another week. BellWort is already in flower; it was just poking through the leafmold a couple of weeks ago, and here are the grace ful, pendent bells Antennaria- some call them pussy-toes or silver everlasting-is on every bank. Cin- 'Queful, the false strawberry, gleams buttercup yellow in the grass, and true wild strawberry is spreading it's big white petals beside the brook.
 Violets are everywhere, thae dark, showy flowers of the bird-foot va riety with it's distinctive leaves, the arrow-leafed ones, with their light colored blooms, the fragrant little marsh viOletS and the diminutive white ones, sweet-scented and short-stemmed. Dwarf ginseng, Pa- max trilium, is like tufts of frosty down, so white and dainty and sweet to smell. Canada mayflower, the false lilly of the valley, is ready to open bud at any moment.
 The wold colunbine is growing fast. Marsh marigolds are past their prime. So are the anemones. Dogtooth violets are beginning to open. Jack-in-the-pulpit is out in a few places. And the tide of spring is still rising. May is full of loVelineSs.

Private Taxation

For some time now James C. Petrilo head of the Amer Federation of Musicians has been collecting royalties on phonograph records and musical transcrpons for employment fund John L. Lewis has asked for royalty each ton of coal mined by members of his United Mine Work ers Detroit grocers complaining that they get food delivered only by joining the teamsters union getting . short-term union permit"
 All these private collected by private citizens eargeab in the end to the public They used for pUr poses beyond the knowledge control of the direct and nd rect taxpayers They in effect taxation without rep nesentation.
 But write of such things brings the charge of abor batter the writer The suggestion that there should be laws to curb this of private taxation brings the accusation of favoring antabor legislation All of which $ nonsense.
 Laws drafted for the protection of society and it's various members well for the punishment of offenders This includes the covering extorton practices in restraint of trade But those two operations have become eraega rather than illegal when carried by labor lead CTS within the scope of union activities.
 To permit citizen to practice extorton with license speak, issued by Congress and the Supreme Court unfair allowing citizen to practice medicine without license. In both cases the public is the loser.
 If MT. Lewis is permitted to levy private tax on coal and thus raise it's price, to shut down most of the trys industry and endanger life and livelihood if he is re- fused that permission then the whole population suffers union labor along with the rest.
 In defense of MT. Perio and MT. Lewis and their employment and health and welfare funds and in defense of the eamsters and whatever fund their permits and forced memberships go it is often said that these labor leaders are only taking care of their boys'
 We'll they do take of the boys By doing they themselves of automatic election and reelection after They also build up for themselves immunity to responsibility toward the people who put them in oce But other things aside taking of the boys scarcely for squeezing the for promised benefit of the few.
 Once upon time business was allowed to squeeze the for it's benefit and dishonest took advantage of the privilege But the consequent curbs unfair bus practices didn't ruin business interfere in the least with honest busnessmans conduct of his affairs Laws aimed solely at curbng comparable unfair labor practices could and should have comparable effect

Bitter Climax to Liberation

Gaynor Maddox, food columnst of NEA Service and The Democrat has written appalling story of food vast age the Army includes reports of the exhaustive vey the subject made by nneman civilian board bo sered and documened by actual from NEA
 Careless storage and faulty handling of food laxity of supervision and nefcency of personnel tremendous requs ons and poor distribution to bame the story reveals As result Mr. Maddox writes Hundreds of thousands of tons of food have been wasted while starvation has stalked across Europe
 It is secret that much food wasted well lost during the But that different Civilian hard ships and unmportant Much of the hungry world still in enemy hands, Our soldiers and sailors de- served the best Better much for them than too tte the general feeling
 But that feeling is not valid today though bers of the Quartermaser Corps find hard to break the old habits of thinking and doing The sensible ment, handling and of food of the Armys most important jobs today.
 The hundreds of thousands of tons of lost and wasted food cannot be replaced But least the Army take immediately all possible steps to correct this almost criminal caousness and carelessness. And while is taking those steps, the Army and the rest of hope that this shame full story does not gain too wide circulation among the hungry millions in other lands whom forces liberated It would be a rather bitter anticlimax.

Then two-thrds vote of the Senate has clung to its free dom of debate to protect the rights of minority full discussion but it has been exploited to paralyz action as has been demonstrated so often, most re gently on the FEPC bill and always when the anti poll tax bill is brought up.

Arthur Besse Besse head of the National Associa- ton of Wool Manufacturers, is not only New Eng land bue-blood and treasurer of the North American Yacht Racing Union, but smooth and convincing talker He talked MT. Small right out of the order transferring more woolen fabrics to mems clothing
 General Erskine was only trained to fight Japs on Two lima. He hadn't reckoned on the wool lobby. The veterans were out of luck.
 While Besse has done good job lobbying to cut the heart out of OPA, even buster for the wool lobby is efficient F. Eugene Alderman of the Amer ican Wool Council Actually, the Wool Council, com posed of wool growers is not much interested in the OPA fight; but Alderman is in 1t up to his neck just the same For he also represents two woolen mils Forstmann and Botany of Passaic N. J., which hot for price increases Also he puts out Facts and Fashions" publication supposed to deal plre- ly with fashions, but which deftly throws the knife into price control
 Finally Alderman nurses secret ambition to head up the new Wool Research Council to be cre- ated by the Government under bill introduced by wool champion Senator Joe OMahoney of Wyoming The job would pay around $25OOO.
 It was energetic able Eugene Alderman, who working partly wool growers time, came to Wash ington months ago and helped sell Congressman Fred Hartley of New Jersey on the idea of stirring up public sentiment against OPA through an investi- gation by the Howard Smith Committee.
 This probe was also pushed by the National Re- tail Dry Goods Association whose membership ranks among the top three industries of the nation in lobbying against OPA.
 Actually most of the nations retailers, including many N.RD.GA. members are for OPA Macys has taken full-page advertisements urging its continuance Marcus -Niemann in Dallas has publicly proclaimed the same Thousands of small retailers are worried over imitation, want price control continued though with modification of certain OPA regulations.
 Despite all this, the National Retail Dry Good Association some time ago helped promote the OPh Investigating Committee, headed by Representative Howard Smith, the Virginia Democrat who alway votes with reactionary Republicans.
