supplies to Europe under relief
program or to lend money for the
purchase of our goods unless we en-
courage Europeans to sell to us.
Otherwise, they'll land right back
where they are now. Even If they
build up their industries so they are
able to produce goods, unless they
can sell some of those goods they
won't have the dollars to pay back
what they owe and buy our goods.
That is why warnings that strings
may be attached to the act have an
ominous sound. Strings" would
mean either limitation on the
amounts by which tariffs can be
lowered through reciprocal trade
agreements, or removal of author
ity to make reductions without the
approval of congress of the particu-
lar item involved. That would start
log rolling again, put an end to our
foreign trade and have us back TAX
ing in each others washing for a

OIL RATION:
Anti-InfdtiOn

When President Truman, in his
celebrated 40 points against inf1a-
tion' address to congress, asked for
limited authority to impose ration
and price controls on basic COM
modities, it was taken for granted
that they were food commodities
aBne.
First indication that this might
not be correct Interpretation of
Mr.. Truman's proposal came when
the department of interior asked
congress for power to fix price con-
trolls and rationing on coal and oil
as part of the anti-infation pro-
gram.
Oscar r. Chapman, undersecre-
tary of the interior, told the house
banking and currency committee
that grave shortages and price ad-
vances were threatened in the two
basic fuels.
There was no way of telling, he
said, whether such controls actually
would have to be imposed, but he
insisted that the government should
have authority to do so, just in case.
It is not probable that congress
will give the government power to
control oil and coal, but the Incl
dent serves to reflect the current
point of view of the administration
that a return to wartime rationing
and price controls is the quickest
and most effective way to buck in
dation.
President Truman disclosed the
policy first in his speech at the open
ing of the special session of con-
gress. The interior departments re-
quest for control of coal and oil
probably was a planned follow-up.

About the only good thing that can
be said concerning the railroad
freight car shortage is that the
worst is probably over, but the pres
ent inadequacy will hang on for
long time.
Despite investigations, programs
and promises for several years,
there are actually about 1000 fewer
freight cars now than there were at
the end of the war.
Attempts to place the blame for
the situation seem to be futile.
American railroads have had 10O,0 900
cars on order for some time. Car
builders have declared that steel was
not available. A program formu-
lated in February Of this year called
for an output OF 1000 new cars

LABOR TEST:
Clean Slate

In Great Britain the Labor party
had been worried over the outcome
of the by-election in the southern
town of Gravesend.
Richard Acland, a rich baronet,
was carrying the Labor party's
banner against Frank Taylor, an ex-
furnace stoker, the Conservative
candidate. A seat in parliament was
not the only thing at stake. The
election was of major importance
as a test of strength between the
two parties.
It was a hard fought battle, and
Acland, the Laborite, was elected
to Parliament by a majority OF
1,675 votes-a clear cut defeat for
the Conservatives. The British
people, the Labor party announced,
retained their confidence in their
government.
Nevertheless, the 1,675-vote mar.
gin of victory was considerably
smaller than the 7,056-vote Labor
party margin that had been piled
up in the same district in 1945.
Labor was still in the drivers seat,
but clearly had lost something Of
its original strength. However, the
party had kept its slate clean; 1t
had not lost a single by-election
since it first was swept into power.
Perhaps one reason for the Labor
party's continued popularity was
that, despite all else, it was doing
a good job of distributing equally
what food and other goods were
available in Britain. The food ra-
tions of the poorer people were ap-
proximately the same as those of
the rich, and that fact continued
to carry a lot of weight with the
mass Of voters.
