party, there has been no one to
challenge his leadership.
Critics have complained that his
leadership is not dynamic, that it
lacks vigor, Imagination and appeal
But it is an open secret in British
political circles that Mr.. Attlee,
from the start, has owed his po-
sition to "the equation of opposites. -

Another aspect that cannot be
discounted entirely is that the Con-
Servatives have no stomach to as

this late stage, when the full impact
of the crisis may be expected to
hit at any moment.
There is little possibility" said
a Conservative spokesman, "of un-

bert Morrison, Chancellor of the Ex-
cnequer Hugh Dalton and Sir Staf-
ford Cripps, president of the Board

manded a change.
Delicate balance between these
personalities has been maintained in
the past only because Mr.. Attlee was
acceptable to them all.
A report published in London that
Mr.. Attlee had offered to resign for
the sake of unity within the party
was denied by an official party
spokesman.
A coalition government, such as
Winston Churchill headed during
the war. to cope with the emergency
already has been ruled out by both
Laborites and Conservatives. Mr.
Churchill has announced he will
support the government in crisis

Socialist program.
But there are signs Mr.. Attlee's
government will turn still further
to the left.

CAIRO, Egypt, Aug. 16.-The
nationalist movement among TO-
Ooo,oO people Of the Arabic-speak-
ing world is approaching crisis in
Palestine and Egypt.
Along the southern and eastern
shores of the Mediterranean, Arab
political leaders in many lands are
demanding an end to foreign domi-
nation" and threatening vast
changes in the many political, eco
nomic and strategic factors of an
area that for centuries has been a
crossroads for the Eastern Hemi-
sphere.
The hub Of this movement is
Egypt. The current trouble spot is
Palestine.
Syria and Lebanon, promised in
dependence when Allied troops
needed their help to defeat Vichy
forces. raised their determined cry
for complete freedom before the
final shot was fired in the war.
Their brief but fierce fight with the
French. led to the end of the French
mandate and withdrawal Of French
and British soldiers.
IN neighboring Palestine the
Arabs, who contend that Jewish
immigration is an invasion of their
country, are up against Zionists who
feel just as strongly that a Jewish
state in the Holy Land is the only
solution to the plight of hundreds
of thousands of Jewish refugees in
Europe.
30 Killed in Week.
This week, the long-eXpected
trouble between Arabs and Jews
broke out in bloody violence. Pales-
tine, already torn by Jewish ter
rorist attacks designed to drive out
the British who enforce limits on
immigration, saw more than 30 Jews
and Arabs knitted, beaten, shot and
blown to death.
Many Zionists will be satisfied
with nothing less than Jewish
state and unlimited immigration.
Many Arabs are demanding an in
dependent Arab Palestine and say
they will fight to prevent the forma-
tion of any Jewish state. no matter
how small a part of Palestine 1t
may be.

AttIee's Chance of Weothering
Economic Crisis Believed Good

Estimates of the strength of the
leftist element of the Labor Party
in Parliament vary widely. The
Rightist reckon they can muster all
but 100 of the 1893 Labor votes in
Parliament. A Labor member who
describes his political tige as deep
pink" gave the party's right wing a
liberal so votes" if Brtiain's crisis
demanded a choice between Social
ism and abandonment of Socialism
Events within the party in the last
six months have shown the govern
men bending to the will of the leftist
rebel members.
First, the left-wingers opposed 49,
month conscription for the armed
forces and won. With some embar-
rassment, the government reduced
the peace-time military CONSUMPTION
period from 18 months to one year
Now another battle is brewing
over naturalization of the iron ano
steel industry, and there is an
indication that again the govern
ment may yield to members OF
Parliament who are unwilling tc
compromise, despite the national
emergency. on their election pledges
to socialize Britain's basic indus
tries. State ownership of iron ano
steel would complete the national
ization program outlined by the
party in the 1945 election campaign
The dispute has not been resolved
Some left-wing Laborites have in
dicated they still intend to force
the issue and demand "unmodified'
naturalization in the next session
Of Parliament. But the cabinet
has indicated 1t may defer the
action, perhaps beyond 1850.
REBELS" Oppose U. S. Influence.
The, leftist or so-called rebel

policies. 1t called on Britain to

Others feel that Eastern Europe
could supply many of Britain's

ton with Russia and her satellites

U. 5. Repercussions
Expected From Probe
. OF Canada Espionage
By Edward keIIor

North Amerieon Newspaper Aicnes
; Long-awaited Justice Department
action against American Commun-
lists who aided agents of the Cana
dian atomic-bomb spy ring can be
expected soon.
Although spokesmen for Attorney
General Clark remain reticent, 1t
can be disclosed that two Justice De-
=, partment attorneys are now in New
York seeking indictments on evi-
, dence gathered by the Federal Bu-
, reau OF Investigation, Mr.. Clark's
office even refused to comment on
the case to United States Senator,
but did not deny that the depart
rnent Is seeking action along these
lines.
1t is estimated that l41 American
ReoS played a sole In the spying
, within Canada that shocked the
Dominion after the war and sent at
least six individuals, including a
=, British scientist, to Jail. The Brit
lsh physicist is serving a 10-year
prison term for having obtained
from a United States atomic energy
plant a sample of uranium which
was shipped by air to the Soviet
Union.
Officials May Be Involved.
Reports have been circulating in
Washington for months that the
Justice Department was preparing
mass action against American citi-
zens who gave evidence of disloyalty
IN the war. 1t was not learned until
recently, however, that steps lead
ing to court action are under way.
Some United States officials, includ-
ing several who held important Gov
ernment positions during the war,
are expected to be involved in the
disclosures. The FBI, for several
years, has been investigating more
than 100 Americans who displayed
suspicious relationship with Soviet
officials.
Victor F. Kravchenko, former
member of the Soviet Purchasing
Commission, who renounced Com
munism and took refuge in the
United States. told the House Un-
American Activities Committee re-
Gently that mo person holding a
position in an economic organiza-
ton arrives in the United States
without special assignment con-
cerning secret documents.
Evidence gathered by Canadian
authorities bears out Mr.. Krav-
chenkos assertion, since it was
Soviet Embassy officials and mem
bers OF trade missions who solicited
the aid of Canadian government
workers in their spying.
The Big Question.
The big question confronting
American citizens is the identified
ton of the individual or individuals
VINO gave the British physicist the
sample of uranium which was spir-
tied from this country to Russia
during time when the full force

security was in operation.

known to be in the hands OF the
Russians. Some members of Con-
gress are calling for a full explana-
ton OF just how much atomic energy
information the Reds obtained from
the United States during and since
the end of the war, and who allowed
them to have it.

Gen. Marshall Backed Rights
OF Nisei, Article DiscIoses

General George c.. Mar
shall, now Secretary of State,
was the man in the govern
ment who took the first step
in wartime to restore to
Americans of Japanese ances-
try the citizen rights which
were restricted by Army ac-
ton after the outbreak of
war.
This disclosure was made re-
Gently in a special article for the
North American News Alliance by
S. l.. A. Marshall, a member of
the War Departments general
staff during World War IL.
1T was perfectly clear" ac-
cording to s. L. A. Marshall, that
had General Marshall (then Army
Chief of Staff failed to take the
initial step toward restoring full
rights and justice, the wal would
have ended without anything con-
structive being done for the Nisei
or to uphold the freedoms repre-
sented by their cause"
Mr.. Marshall declared that Gen.
eral Marshall took full personal
responsibility for the change in
government policy which resulted
in reopening of military service to
Japanese Americans and support
ed the decision to use the Tooth
Infantry Battalion of Japanese
Americans as combat troops and
not as labor battalion.

This Month
Tells Storyof
Nisei Today

"What's Happened to the
Nisei?" an article relating the
present-day situation of Nisel
evacuated from the west coast
in 1912, appears in the Febru-
airy issue of This Month"
magazine.
The author, Bradford Smith,
was head of the japanese section
of the Office of War Information.
In his article, Smith discusses
typical japanese American, John
Tanida, and his readjustment af-
ter the evacuation program de-
prived him of his home and bust
ness.
Multiply John 1anida by 50,-
900, and you have the outlines of
a development which has not only
gone far to redeem a wartime in
justice, but promises to enrich
permanently the pattern OF Amerl-
can life," Smith writes.
OF the evacuation, the writer
says:
To-day, many, including Naval
Intelligence officers, declare that
this evacuation of 10000 men,
women and children was an un-
necessary, tragic waste.
yet, paradoxically, this thor
oughly unjustified move may prove
blessing in disguise to many Nj
sci, or Japanese Americans, be-
cause it is bringing them into the
main stream of American life.
Half of them have found new
homes. new jobs, and a greater
hope for the future than they ev-
err had in their West Coast settle
ments."
