But If they try something new, the

maybe even imagination, into a

The networks themselves find the
summer fine time for such expert

British Textile Labor
And Management
Criticized by Cripps
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Sir Stafford
Cripps, Britains economics czar,
criticized both management and
labor in the textile industry this
week and called for a quick increase
in production to lessen the national
economic crisis.
IF we could produce and export
as much coal and textiles today as
we were doing before the first war,
Z" our influence in the world for
peace would be very greatly en-
forced" he said at news confer
ence.
Cripps, speaking as the govern
ment minister responsible for eco
nomic affairs, said textile manage
ment has not kept pace with its
foreign competitors, notably in the
United States" in undermining
plant. He said mot many" indus
trial groups have been formed to
help in carrying out new govern
ment-backed modernization pro-
gram.
OF labor Cripps said: Restrictive
practices designed to counter inse-
curity of employment-limiting out
put are now not only unneces-
sary but positively harmful and ma
tionally suicidal. We desperately
need every ounce of production and
If we do not get it the effects will

This Changing World
Mikolajczyk's Goodness to Anti.Red Poles
Causes Change of Heart Over His Flight

ment, however. In his first inter-
view in London Mr.. Mikolajczyk
stated: "I do not want to mix IN
the affairs of the Polish government
in exile in London" This was given
in an interview with the London
correspondent of the largest Polish
language paper in this country,
Dziennik dla Wszystkich every
body's Daily, and was unanimously
criticized by all leading Polish
language papers.
The Polish government in exile
now is headed by Gen. Bor-Komo-
rowski, who gave the signal for the
Warsaw uprising of 1914 on an
order from Mr.. Mikolajczyk. This
government is still recognized by
the Vatican, Spain, Cuba and sew
eral other countries.
Break Is Seen
Mr.. Mikolajczyk's statement In
London seemed to indicate to Pol
isi,-Americans that he intends to
break up the united anti-Commu-
mist front Of exiled Poles, and this
assumption is considered to be
strengthened by Mr.. Mikolajczyk's S
further statement in the same inter-
view:
II would not like to see my flight
from Poland interpreted as mean
ing that I want now to conduct an
anti-Soviet political action or that
I want to fight the idea of Polish
Soviet understanding"
Further he stated that he recog-
nizes "the cession of Eastern Polish
territories to Soviet Russia by the
Yalta agreement" This, Of course
is the greatest offense to American
Poles, who for three years have re-
fused to recognize the Ya!ta agree
ment.
Polish-Americans, therefore, have
been far less enthusiastic about Mr.
Mikolajczyk's flight from Warsaw
than would have been the case if on
his arrival In London NO. Miko-
lajczyk had joined Fundamentally ir
the anti-Communist front and lent
his efforts completely to the fight 1t
Is making against communism.
The extent of his cooperation
with the International Peasant Fed
Grafton in Washington is awaited rs
evidence of whether Mr.. Mikolajczyk
intends to refrain completely from
the fight against communism in
Poland or is disposed to join his
efforts with those Of other peasant
leaders in rallying the peasantry OF
Eastern Europe against Soviet domi-
nation.
Evening star., 1947-11-28

The condition Of the law on the
question of communism Is inchoate.
The Communist Party is legal Or
ganization, yet no alien Communist
NAV be admitted to this country. 1t
issues newspapers and other publi-
cations which enjoy United States
postal provileges, but to write for
them may bar the writer from any
other medium.
1t is, at the same time, a secret
society. It's tactics are such that
many Of its workers, who even may
be international agents, hold no
membership cards. Its line OF
propaganda is so clear and dis
ciplined that 1T is not difficult to
deduce from circumstantial evidence
that a writer or speaker is a Com
munist in effect, whether he is a
party member or not. Yet, by re-
cent ruling of the highest court Of
New York, it is libel per Sc to name
any one publicly as Communist.
Thus, if this column called any
one of the 10 Hollywood writer's a
Communist, he could sue me and
my publishers for libel, and at the
discretion of the court collect dam
ages. He would not have to prove
he was not one while I should have
to prove he was an actual party
member-hardly possible without
the collaboration of that party.
What sort of crossed wires are these,
whereby 1t Is legal to be Com
munist and libel to call any one
such?
There also are crossed wires in the
Hollywood executives decision. They
suspend or discharge the writers,
without pay, while stating fatty,
nothing subversive or un-American
has appeared on the screen" That
amounts to blanket acquittal of the
writer's. If they are Communists, but
not using the films for propaganda,
what's all the fuss about? What.
however, Is "un-American"? Is it
possible for any one to define that
term?
The executives denounce the Com
munists, but protect themselves, for
every one knows the final RESPONSE
bility for q film does not rest with
the writer, but with the producer.
Now, am not q movie devotee, 30
cannot Judge in general on the ex-
ecutives' denial. But they issued one
film which was so outrageous an
apology for Soviet justice that the
Russians themselves would not have
had the face to make it, and this
column so reviewed it at the time.
That was Mission to Moscow"
The lesson OF that fiIm, adapted
from the book of the same name,
was that the purge trials were
proper and fair. This was despite
the fact that a body Of distinguished
American citizens-headed by the
dean Of American philosophy, John
! Dewey-having studied the evidence,

Dinah, If such thing be possible.
She is the schemer for the two Of

whenever she thinks of something
devilish to do, she jots it down be-
fore she forgets it. Then, when no

which have Constantine brown
eiyen rise to some concern over how
active a part he intends to take IN
the fight on communism.
The Polish leader has given no
clear indication of whether ne
intends to join the international
Peasant Federation which was
formed in Washington several
months ago by exiled leaders OF
Hungary, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.
The leaders OF this peasant group
at least expected him to join them
in their campaign, but Mr.. Mikola-
jczyk continues to hide his inten-
tions.
Mikola jczyk's Help Expected.
The views of Polish-Americans on
Mr.. Mikolajczyk's position in the
fight against communism are very
interesting. This group has been or
gsnized In a strong anti-Communist
front. 1t opposed the Teheran and
Yalta agreements and refused to
give up its support when Mr.. Miko-
lajczyk left London on American
and British advice to join the Com
munist-controlled Warsaw govern
ment.
This Polish-American anti-Com-
munist front expected boost from
Mr.. Mikolajczyk after he left War
saw. 1t expected him to fall in line
with their anti Communist policy
and his pronouncements from Lon
don were awaited with more than
usual anticipation.
