Having promised the moon to the
British people, the British Socialist
government is now undergoing the
inevitable embarrassment of inabil.
ity to deliver.
Before the election which raised
the Socialist government to power,
the pledge of it's spokesmen was that
naturalization rDiH insure that
goods are available at decent prices
to everybody"
Now that less goods than before
are available to the people, whatever
the price paid, the same spokesmen
are pleading that naturalization is
no magic cure"
What the British people are reap
ing from socialism, according to the
leader of the minority in Parliament,
Mr.. Winston Churchill is the futile
and disastrous experience of seeking
strength through misery"
THE British people are paying
L more attention to Mr.. Churchill
now than they did before the elec-
tion, when his urgent warnings
against the dangers of socialism went
unheeded.
They preferred then to listen to
the glib promises of the Socialists of
more clothing, more goods and full
employment"
Instead, they find themselves
with "fewer goods, lower rations,
less clothing and armies of men kept
in uniformed idleness."
Before the election, the Socialists
called the traditional British reliance
on exports for prosperity a pursuit
of will O. the wisp."
Now even the Socialists are ad-
monishing the British people that
they must endure poverty in order
tc supply the export markets"
The Socialist program of nation
alization in Britain has already
proved to be exactly what Mr..
Churchill predicted it would be-a
system of BRAKES ON PROG
RESS.

DEAR PROFESSOR:

"A with Mrs. Roosevelt at your side)
you tell us that free enterprise and a
market economy mean war; socialism
and a planned economy mean peace"
You are the latest of a long line who

what a rummy country we have. We
have been told that the Declaration of
independence was a great mistake. We
have been told that Gen. Washington's
dream of an independent destiny for

of mankind. But for utter gall and non-
sense you tower among your brethren.
VOU are chairman of the British Labor

Lord Keynes is here to sell us. At the
same time that Keynes tells us that
Britain will collapse unless we send you
billions more, you have the nerve to
say our system of doing business has
made starvation a symbol of our power.
Just whom have we starved, professor?
These billions are to be heaped on
top of rs billions of Iend-lease and all we
did to save democracy and the empire in
World War !, and to prevent starvation
afterwards. However, 25 billions would
have built 5 million houses for our re-
turning soldiers at $1,000 each. We need
some houses here, professor.

abled us to ship 25 billions overseas did

Brakes ON Progress

THE British Socialist government
Il has now come to the anxious days
which are the lot of all governments
elected on the basis of promises to
the people impossible of fulfillment.
One of the major tasks confront
ing the Socialist regime in Britain
and requiring performance before it
could hope to begin fulfillment of it's
promises to the people is the raising
of British exports to the level of
imports.
Until this is accomplished, as the
transatlantic edition of the London
Daily Mail comments editorially,
there is no possibility whatever for
the nation "to get back to anything
like good standard of liUing."
AS long as the British nation i'm
ports vastly more foreign produced
goods than the volume of domestic
goods it is able to export it is going
to have low standard of living,
says the Daily Mail, calling this
"an underlying principle as simple
as that of any household budget"
But instead of making progress
in this direction, the Socialist gov
ernment has moved in the opposite
direction.
IN THE first nine months of l945,
Il Britain paid out three and one
half billion dollars for imported
goods, and received only slightly
more than one billion dollars for ex-
ported goods. While the Socialist
government has been in power dur
ing only the latter part of this
period, the disparity between i'm
ports and exports has steadily in
creased since it came into power.
Remarking that this significant
and alarming fact "can hardly be
said to reflect any credit on the policy
of the Socialist government" the
Daily Mail reaches this conclusion:
at is another argument for

there was plan for slow de-

years after the war ended.
A howl went up when that
plan leaked out and the usual
lies were told that there would
be speedy rehabilitation. But
we now see that the brass put
their original plan into effect.

This entire question should

MAYOR JEFFRIEs' efforts to

A secure a more equitable distri-
button of sales tax revenue TO Detroit
and the other cities of Michigan
deserves the thoughtful Censidera-
tion of every citizen.
In a carefully prepared presenta
tion the mayor put the problem
squarely up to the two finance COM
mittees of the Legislature last week
The state government is in
peculiarly embarrassing position The
sales tax was enacted in 1884 for the
purpose of raising approximately
$30,000,00O annually.
The revenue from this tax has
climbed so fast that during the cur
rent fiscal year sales tax receipts will
total some place between $l08,000,-
600 and S110,000,00O.
The sales tax money is literally
rolling into Lansing faster than the
state Legislature can find ways of
spending it.
On last July / the state treasurer
had on hand the staggering sum of
$110,238,871 of unallocated balances,
unexpended appropriations and sur
pluses.
True enough, the Legislature and
the governor had pasted labels on
most of this money. This provided
alibis in case requests were made for
the use of it.
THE FACT REMAINS THAT
THIS S110,238,871 REPRESENTS
ACTUAL MONEY IN THE BANK.
All, or any part of it, could be
spent tomorrow for the relief of local
units of government by the simple
expedient of Legislative act.
CONSIDER the fairness of Mayor
~ Jeffries' request.
He is not asking the cities touch
so much as penny of this $tt0,238,
871 which the Legislature has stashed
away in cold storage.
All that Mayor Jeffries is asking
is that the Legislature cut up among

DOES Detroit need it's share of this
additional revenue?
Look at the condition of your
streets, alleys and public buildings.
Just take look at your own prop
erty tax bill.

$50 year taxes on large prosper
Gus farm near Mason, Mich.
If you own a modest five-room
house in Detroit valued at $4,000,
your annual property tax bill is S198.
Mayor Jeffries is not even asking
that this Obvious inequity be cor
rected.
Government costs more in large
city than it does in rural area, and
the city dweller must pay for it.
Wayne County provides between
Sc and Sd per cent Of all sales tax
revenues collected - much higher
percentage than our population war
rants.
Mayor Jeffries is not even asking
the Legislature to rectify this in
justice. .
A LII Detroit is asking is that one
N sixth of the sales tax receipts
$4,000, ,000-be returned to the cities
and townships of the state on popu-
lation basis.
1t is modest request.
1t is eminently fair.
1t will not disturb by one iota any
of the state governments postwar
plans.
1t will directly benefit every
property taxpayer in the state of
Michigan.
Study Mayor Jeffries proposal
and let your state representative
know that Detroit and the other
cities of Michigan expect some con-
structive action when the Legislature
