Commons, Immediately replied to
Churchill, calling the speech dread
fully reactionary." He asked wheth-
er Churchill wanted to put the coal
industry back where it was before
it was nationalized.
what Mr.. Churchill had meant" "
he argued, "was that he wanted to
scatter state intervention. state
control, state promotion of cooper
alton in industry, and leave industry
to do as it liked; that If free and
unfettered competition were allowed
to 20 ahead and if the profit motive
were allowed full play, somehow or
other all would be well.
Anything Can Happen
What did free competition and
unbridled play of the profit motive
produce between the war? Per-
sistent depression, persistent crisis
(Here q Conservative member
interjected: What have we got
now?") We have got a depression.
We have not got mass unemploy-
ment. I do not say that Mr..
Churchill wants to get back to those
conditions but he wants to get back
to the economic and political setup
that would inevitably produce those
conditions"
The official labor solution for the
crisis and the long range rehabilits-
ton Of Britain is more socialism and
more planning and less "free en-
terprise" as known in the United
States. Attlee, Morrison, Bevin,
Cripps and the other top responsible
leaders are content to go slowly, as
they were taught by the older Fa-
bian Socialists. Their refusal to call
for enactment Of legislation this
session to nationalize the iron and
steel industry caused the greatest
cabinet controversies so far In the
two-year-old government.
The radicals" were only placated
when the Government agreed to
curtail the power of the hereditary
House of Lords by calling for
amendment of the Parliament act
of 1911 so that enactment OF a
House bill over a Lords veto could
be delayed only one year instead OF
two.
Young Men Promoted
The Conservatives are counting
on these radicals" to cause a split
up of the present Government. At
this writing 1t seems remote hope
but then anything can happen in
politics.
This group got a slight setback IN
October when Attlee reorgariiEed his
government by dropping five senior
and six Junior ministers. Among
those denoted was Emanuel Shin
well, chairman Of the Labor Party
who moved out Of the cabinet as
Minister of Fuel and Power to be-
come Secretary Of War. Like
Roosevelt, Attlee promoted bright
young men from the universities to
high Offices, such as H. r. N. Gait
skell, Al years old, who was made
Minister of Fuel and Power, and G.
r. Strauss, 46, Minister of Supply
He had already appointed Harold
Wilson, 81, to Cripp's old Job OF
president Of the Board Of Trade.
Roosevelt held together the dissi-
dent Democrats for more than
dozen years. Attlee, Bevin, Morri-
son and Grips are experienced poll
ticians. Their main job is to keep
the support of the middle indie
pendent" or floating voters. II
they can, they are in for q long time.
Meanwhile, they have the impressive
200-vote majority In Commons, .
bloc that will Withstand many ad-
verse elections.

Red Cross Drive
Begins In County
Nation Tomorrow

The annual national American
Red Cross drive for funds official
" gets underway tomorrow,
March /. but the drive in Jackson
county will be officially opened
Monday in Pascagoula with a
parade IN the downtown section
at 1000 o'clock.
The campaign will continue
through the month of March nat
ionally, but Karl Wiesenburg,
fund campaign chairman, this
week expressed the hope that the
county's drive ran be completed
by March Is.
Mr.. Wiesenburg believes that
the fact that 1872 percent of all
funds subscribed will be retain
ed in the county for local use
will give impetus to the drive.
The following co-chairmen
were announced this week by Mr..
Wiesenburg: Pascagoula, George
M. Harrison, Commander of the
American Legion: Moss Point,
Mayor F. w. Cirlot; Ocean
Springs, Harry Lee, editor of the
Jackson County Times; ingalls,
Shipbuilding Corporation, E. r.
Hammett; and rural, Nolle T. Rob-
erts.
Amount Reduced
The nationwide drive this year
is for sixty million dollars, as
compared to one hundred million
last year. The emphasis of the
Red Cross-and a large portion of
the expenses of operation-has
shifted from aid to service men
to aid to veterans in their pc
Rod of readjustment.
Basil O'Conner, national chair
man, made the following state
ment at the opening of the drive:
Never in time of peace has the
American Red Cross been called
upon to render such extensive
services to the military forces at
home and abroad and to veter-
ans as r now required.
Approximately rs percent of
Red Cross funds are still spent
in W~ar-related services at home
and overseas. AS our work in
and navy hospitals and 9TH
err installations gradually de-
ereases during the next few years,
work. wish veterans and their
families will increase"
The l947 goal of $50, 000. 100000
set after a careful survey
which pared the l947-48 budget
to the minimum consistent with
responsibilities of the organi2a-
ton, the national headquarters
said.
