They want peace and want it

That is a thing of the past now.

The masses in Britain-as we'll as

overthrow every political force out
side the Russia sphere.
In the KEENAN, thesis, 1t is the

mortality and exhaustion, the Rus

welfare of all his countrymen. He
was among the first to warn Of last
winters coal crisis, and last Sep
TENDER called for mine volunteers
saying the country was confronted
with a grave problem of under

Early Life Hard
His early life was hard. He was
born on the threshold of the pits,
the son of railway worker, in
South Wales SO years ago. His first
Job which brought him a 32-cent
reward, was as errand boy for a
butcher. He went to college in Bir-
mingham to study to become mis-
sionary. Lack of funds cut short his
studies and-like his grandfather
before him-Horner went into the
pits at the age OF IS. His father
brought him up to be a Socialist.
He married a miners daughter
when he was making about $3.50 a
week wages. A year later, in 1917
Mr.. Homer was elected chairman
of the South Wales Miners Reform
Committee and the same year went
to Ireland to help the Irish citi-
zens' army after the 1916 rebellion
He returned to England the follow

LONDON-TheN No. / voice of the
British miners Is a short, square,
bespectacled man named Arthur
Lewis Horner. He is the general
secretary of the National Union of
Mineworkers and he is Commu-
mist.
King Arthur" as Mr. Horner Is
sometimes called in the coal fields,
Is a frst-rate tactician. For ex-
ample, the Labor Party's constitu-
ton does not permit Communist
to be delegate at its annual con-
ferences. But as the curtain was
rising on the recent labor confer
ence at Margate, it was Non-Dele-
gate Horner who stepped in with a
news conference-and stole the
show.
Heart of the Problem
He took it upon himself to pre-
sent the government with three
year austerity plan, as if the country
had not already had its NIL OF aus
terity. The plan, he told reporters,
was the one he would have sub
mitted had he been allowed a voice
at the Labor Party conference.
Speaking as an executive member of
the Communist Party, Mr.. Horner
said he believed his plan was the
only way out for Britain.
He restated the miners claims, in
Guiding exemption from income tax,
larger food and clothing ration
better lighting in mines and g.
pound (s24 weekly minimum wage
But his plan went further than
benefits for miners. A constant adj
vocate for more production, he
urged volunteers in key industries
to work one week end overtime in
every four.
"Our view is that this country is In
a tough spot" he said. We've got
one raw material in quantitY-coal
We've got to keep 100000 Apeople
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1947-08-24

for the raw materials we need"
Therefore" Mr.. Horper argued
coal is the heart of the problem and
with a sufficient amount we can
sustain a pasonable prosperity
without a sufficient supply, every
thing we aim to do is made impos-
sible."
Comparisons Inevitable
Arthur Lewis Horner holds a posi-
ton in Britain comparable to that
of John L. Lewis in the United
States. Comparisons between the
two are inevitable, although Mr.
Horner objects to any comparison
The chunky. chain-smoking Briton
maintains that union officials in his
country are servants" while in
America they are personalities"

recently made counselor of the de-
partment. Both have familiar
knowledge of Russia.
But speculation lost little time
in concentrating upon Mr.. KEENAN,
He is not merely a Russian expert.
but was known to have suffered
because of his realistic views con-
corning the Soviet oligarchy. The
clinching argument was the COM
positions style, which was super
latively good. Until recently, when
the u1asterful reports of Ambassa-
dor Lewis w. Douglas began fash
ing in from London, Mr.. Kennan's
dispatches were held throughout
The department to be unrivaled for
literary talent.
How He Views Russia
The conclusion drawn was that
the State Department, at a critical
moment, selected Mr.. KEENAN, tc
be it's authoritative spokesman,
under a transparent disguise, on
fundamental policy toward the
Soviet Union. Moreover, the pro-
gram voiced by Mr.. KEENAN, is the
one which Secretary Marshall is
obviously pursuing. With the Har-
ward address of June S, he crossed
over without warming to the attack,
thus abandoning the defensive
formula of "firmness and patience
which had been enunciated by his
predecessor, James F. Byrnes.
AS major premise, the KEENAN,
policy holds that the attitude of the
Soviet government towards the
United States is basically and in
corrigibly hostile. For an indefinite
period, in consequence, relations be-
tween the two powers are likely to
remain difficult. Under Marxist
dogma, the free enterprise system
is doomed to self-destruction, and
the American economy at no remote
date will experience a mortal COL

Back in the 2O's preachers used to rail
against the immortality of short skirts. But
it is doubtful that they got the public ap-
proval that Washington, D. c., minister re-
ceived the other day for his attack on the
current fashion of longer skirts.
''They are immoral" he said, because they
waste the material that is desperately needed
by the worlds suffering people" Women,
he added, are humiliating themselves and
making mockery of their current emanclpa-
ton by following these imbeclllc tasnlon
changes like herd Of ludicrous cattle.
We have little hope that the good pastor
words will stem the tide. Still, there Is

shadow over Africa no less than over
Europe.
The Sudan is not vital to world progress.
It contains less than hundred thousand
square miles. It has population estimated
at approximately six and one-half million.
Its principal crops are gum arabic and cot
ton. AS Ethiopia is neighbor on the east,
the good offices of Selassie are justified.
Egypt wants to annex it. The British
contend the Sudanese should determine
their own future. If the United States and
Russia finish the showdown of power which
is now engaging the attention of the Gene
raj Assembly the disposition of the Sudan
may be given place on the agenda.
In fairness the people ought to have
voice in deciding now they shall be govern
ed and their affairs administered.
