TWO TRUTHS

Reports from England indicate that
there Is growing opposition to the pol
icies Of the Labor government - and that
u h becoming apparent in the ranks of la
Dor itself. The cause of that resentment
"a plain. Ii Is rooted in the fact that the
high hopes held out for socialism were
cruel Illusion, that rigid RECOMMENDATION has
sapped not fed, the energies and produc-
tive abilities of the nation, and that Eng
land il now on the verge of complete eco
monte disaster.
The British people are not complaining
about the austerity program - a similar
measure would necessarily have been i'm
posed by any government in the interest
Of industrial recovery. What they are COM
planning about is that the incredible sacri-
ices made by the people in living stand
ards have gone for nothing All the basic
Industries on which British exports de-
pend - coal, electric power, steel and the
rest have either been socialized or
threatened with specialization. And in all of
them output has been declining Poll
ucianS many of them utterly without ex-
perience In industry, are the unchallenged
masters of England today, and thew have
shown great deal more ability at extend
ing their own authority than in getting out
the goods that can save England from
ruin.
When socialism fails, it's advocates al
ways propose more socialism as the cure.
And that has brought still another grave
danger To the English people - the loss
at rights which have been extended since
the Magma Carta. Labor officials say that
freezing a worker in his job does not
amount to a labor draft-but that it is
merely play on words when the law
makes it impossible for man to change
employment if he so desires. Agriculture
has been surrounded with dctatorial re-
stfictions and more have been proposed.
England is a living example of two vi
tally important truths-first, that social
ism Is wasteful and inefficient; and, sec
ond that it is basically and inevitably a
destroyer of individual liberty, That is the
lesson that England is giving the United
states, and is time for us to heed it.
Modern education seems to revolye
around football games.

TTTUSVILLE, Pa, Feb. 20.-Rus-
sia's so-called iron curtain" across
Europe parted with surprising ease
for Julien Bryan, director of the
International Film Foundation of
New York-but he insisted the rea-
son for Soviet secrecy is to keep
the world from knowing what a
beating they took" in World War II
Mr. Bryan told reporter he not
only pierced the imaginary barrier
but spent months behind it, travel
ing 5000 to 1000 miles for the
United Nations Relief and Rehabil-
itation Administration, and taking
pictures of nearly everything he
wanted.
Welcome to Tourists Forecast.
Mr.. Bryan fatty predicted that
before the end of 1948 Russia would
be welcoming tourists from Amer
ica and other countries with open
arms.
A native of Titusvile, Mr.. Bryan
came here Immediately after his re-
turn to the United States Tuesday,
to be at the bedside of his 84-year-
old father, S. S. Bryan, retired hard
ware merchant. The elder Mr.. Bryan
died yesterday.
In an interview given before his
fathers death and authorized for
release today, Mr.. Bryan said he
was convinced-after five months in
Italy, Poland, Germany and Russia
that the only way the United
States can assure stability on the
continent is to see that Europeans
don't Starve.
Russian Doors Open.
Mr.. Bryan found Russian doors
open to him, he reported, because

UNRRA. He said he had definite
purpose that Russians could under
stand and approve-to photograph

cry and clothing arriving in Russia,
and where and how it was being
used.
Mr.. Bryan also made these OBJ
servations:

organized fishermen in Southeast Alaska.
 The primary purpose of this an- nual convention was to effect merger of all CIO troll fishermen unions in Southeast Alaska. It is hoped that this merger will bring about closer cooperation between fishermen and fish buyers in con- tract negotiations and other lm- portant problems relative to the trolling industry.
 A fish conservation program was formulated which will be present. ed to the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice. The main points of this program, designed to protect the fishing industry in the future, re- quest the abolishment of all fish traps. the closing of certain spawn ing areas and a more efficient en- forcement of existing fishing regu- lations.
 In the matter of labor iegisiation, the conference went on record for the outright repeal of the existing Taft Hartley Act: opposed use of antitrust laws as they affect price negotiations between the fisher men and buyers; and opposed any legislation tending to curb the rights of labor.
 Delegates at the conference ex- pressed disapproval of any federal, territorial. or municipal sales tax, either now in effect or contemplat- ed in the near future, with the exception of the existing Veterans Sales Tax.
 They feel that the Territory of Alaska should demand that a portion of the income tax paid by residents of Alaska be refunded to the Territory for use in any emer- eercv which may arise. They cite the present shortage o1 funds for operating public schools as an ex- ample of an existing emergency.
