Deeper Military Cuts
Announced in Britain
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Sir Stafford
Cripps, president of the Board OF
Trade, announced today new cuts
in Britain's armed forces and a
slash in permitted capital invest
ments as crisis measures to help
Stave off economic collapse.
The Labor Minister urged an i'm
mediate one-thTd increase in eX-
ports, and said capital investments
would have to be cut drastically to
make the increase possible. He said
the Labor government would use
compulsion, if necessary, with all
industry and labor to achieve pro,
duction targets.
Though we might be able to get
further temporary assistance from
the United States of America under
the Marshall Plan or some other
way, We cannot count upon this,
Sir Stafford said in an address before
1000 industrialists and unioniSts.
I'VE do not wish or intend to be
tied by economic strings to the

political policies OF other countries
however friendly they may be-"
Sir Stafford, warning Britons that
even more austerity was in store for
them, did not amplify his announce
ment of additional cuts in the armed
services, which would release men
for manpoWer-short industries. A
high government source said earlier
the cuts would go deeper than the
governments original goal, which
was to slash the services, now total
ing 100000 men, to 100000 by
March, f948.
The minister said "it may well
prove necessary to cut down capital
investments in this country by
f2OO,OOO,OOO (s8OO,0OO,O0O) a year.
He did not. however, commit the
government to a specific figure.

into the nearest chair and covered
her face with her hands, loathing
the coward she saw herself. To
have let her mother speak her
ultimatum, for she knew it was
intended to be such. and not tell
her that she had given Rufus a
half-promise, at least, to marry
him.
~, She had not missed the chal-

her, that moment at dinner after
her father had spoken OF Rufus
editorials. Diane, in her place,
would have defended Rufus in

She dropped her hands almost

I haven't?" She asked that over
and over as despairingly, those
months ago, when she had to
y stand by and see Diane take Bill.
She began to undress, quickly,
heedlessly, throwing her clothes
in every direction. She slipped in
to bed, switched off the light by
the side of the bed, drew the GOV.
..ers close to her chin as though
she we're cold. She was shivering,
yet burning at the same time.
Now in the darkness she mist
face the truth waiting under her
other emotions. That she still low
ed Bill. She'd known, tonight,
when she offered him her tribute
and every pulse in her leaped to
the touch of his lips, his hands. A
sense OF helplessness sweeping
her, she caught at the bedcover,
chung to it for its frail support.
= She would love Bill like this, all
her life! Whatever she did
wherever she went. Even years
from now, people would talk about
it, point her out. There's a wom-
an who couldn't get over loving
4 man who didn't want her. No,
xhe's never married" Some
would pity her as her mother had
tonight. Her mother, having spck-

ferring to it, with a pity that
would be ~intolerable, with a veil
ed indignation at Bill for his blind
ness.
"And 1 did try to forget it. l
did! I hate i'll hate that kind Of

was crying this out to Rufus. Ru-
