lectivism is, in the light of expert
ence, the surest way to run any
economy into total bankruptcy.
The British labor dictatorship
rests on the organized workers.
Short of becoming total police
state, it must conciliate them. 1t.
in it's program of complete eco
nomic mobilization, more work, and
more austerity, it bears down too
hard on them, 1t will lose their
political support. They will not
then move toward the conserva-
tives but toward the radical left.
Like every moderate" dictatorship,
the labor dictatorship of Britain is
caught between its left-wing rebels
and It's right-wing opposition. No
moderates ever have survived move
ments toward the superstate.
Moderates Can Give Balance.
Moderates can hold the balance
between contending social and eco
romic forces, but the moment they
themselves usurp the forces their
median position is lost, and invari-
ably the power passes to dynamic
elements of right or left. If Mr..
Attlee and Mr.. Bevin have not
learned this they have learned moth
ing from the history of the Twentieth
Century which, if it reveals any
thing, tells us that Mr.. Attlee and
Mr.. Bevin are doomed.
The immense labor party victory
was obtained without a majority of
popular votes. and by the accession
of large numbers of middleclass
voters. These are falling away in
alarm. In one particular, Karl Marx
was right: No social class con-
sciously commits suicide.
But all social classes can get used
to the idea that dictatorship Is nee
essary to the survival of the nation.
When they bring themselves to ac-
cept it, the question is: What sort
of dictatorship?
In all countries with a strong pa
triotic sense (Which Britain has,
par excellence) and wherever dicta-
torship is once accepted as neces-
sary to national survival-the only
reason ever given for 1.-THE in
stinct of the people is to seek a
national leader: Some one who en-
bodies, or seems to embody, not the
will of the workers" or of any par
ticular social class but of the whole
Speaking for All
No trade-union bureaucrat and no
Tory politician is fitted for that
role. If Mr. Churchill, for instance,
had realized that his own-relatfvely
mild-wartime powers were accept"
able only because he headed ma
tional, not Tory, government, and
if he had kept out of the arena of
partisan politics, he might conceiv-
ably still be prime minister. 1t was
absolutely inconceivable that he
could be, when he descended from

This Changing World
Zhukov's Bulgarian Visit and Movement
Of Red Troops Portend Greece Attack

ment of Gen. Markos Vifiades Is
recognized by Yugoslavia before the
assembly meets September 16 in
New York and the Athens govern
ment is considered outlawed by the
Soviet and some of its satellites,
it would be difficult for Russia to
change the course the other as
sembly members decide to follow.
In spite of American military
weakness Moscow does not discount
the possibility that the United
States, supported by some other ma
tions, will send a military force to
Greece to enforce the assembly
decisions.
Relies On Western Fear of Power
However, the Russian government
believes that the vote for interven-
tion would be no more than a pious
expression If the assembly is con-
fronted with an accomplished fact
such as blitz offensive to capture
Athens and fight of the royal gov
ernment to Crete or some foreign
capital.
Moscow believes that neither the
United States nor any other West
ern power will take the chance of
meeting the regular Soviet army,
which could be reinforced much
more quickly than any u N. inter-
vention force sent to Greece.
The reported trip of Marshal
zhukov to Bulgaria and the con-
firmed movement of the four Red
tank divisions are considered In
Washington to be shrewd moves by
Moscow to prevent the Western
powers from taking any action to
save Greece under Article 81.
The consensus of Western diplo-
mats is that Russia does not want
to become involved in war, but that
she will not hesitate to take such
a risk if the other nations give clear
indications that they intend to pre-
vent her from accomplishing her ex-
pansionist aims.
The Russians have the highest re-
gard for power. They know that to-
day their diplomatic actions can
be supported in "a hours by a mill
tary force stronger than the COM
bined armies of the West. They also
know that Western diplomats are
masters at Juggling words and
creating formulas for diplomatic
action. but lack the strength to en-
force their intentions. Hence, the
Russians believe. simply hint of
force will put the Western govern
ments in their places.
Once Greece has fallen into the
Soviet lap the rest of Russia's i'm
perialistic plans will be put into ef-
feet without much trouble, Moscow
thinks, regardless of speeches made
and resolutions passed at the As
sembly meeting

cided to assist its Balkan satellites
with force, If necessary-to over
run Greece.
Heretofore the Kremlin has
helped the Greek guerrillas, and the
military forces which are cooper
ating with them. only by diplomatic
means and with essential supplies
It was known in government circles
In Washington that Soviet mill
tary mission, acting In an advisory
capacity, has been established near
Monastir. But most American diplo-
mats have believed firmly that the
USSR would not intervene with
troops in Greece.
Two Factors Involved.
This belief sprang from two fac
tors: % the conviction that Russia
did not want to push defiance OF
the U. N. to the point of actual
war; and (2) the conviction that
Soviet military intervention in
Greece was not necessary, since
the forces of the satellites were more
than sufficient to defeat the Greek
army, once orders were issued for
an all-out military operation.
The arrival of the Soviet tank
divisions in Bulgaria and the re-
ported inspection trip of Marshal
zhukov throw new light on the
menacing Balkan situation.
Moscow is aware of the pos
sibility that the United Nations
Assembly may vote to apply Article
81 of the U. N. charter in the
Greek situation. This article pro-
vides for individual and collective
measures of self-defense in case OF
aggression. There is no way for
Russia to veto such a, measure,
if two-thirds of the members Of the
assembly vote for it.

By the Associoted Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. l.
Forty five years of distinguished
service in the Army were only a
memory today for Jonathan M.

Union County Hospital commits
sion met Tuesday morning with
architects Foley and Scott of Ber-
ca. AS one of the members had
recently visited two newly-erect-
ed hospitals in northern Illinois,
and had taken careful notes on
strength and weakness of the
plants, the session was largely
devoted to a discussion of these
notes which dealt with details.
Since the general plan of the
Union county Hospital had been
agreed upon at previous meetings,
the time was spent on discussion
of these details which must be
settled before actual work can
be started. The members of the
Commission are eager to have as
much planned as possible in order
that when conditions warrant and
actual construction is begun there
may be no delay at any point.
After the discussion session, a
visit was made to the site where
County Engineer Claude Skid

ing size and position of building

TEAMSIN TIE

Possibility of a Sway tie for
the Mid-State League basketball
championship loomed today fol-
lowing Marion st. Mary'S 81 to
Al victory over Sunbury, at Mar
ion, Tuesday night. These two
schools, plus Marysville, now fig
ure in a three-way tie for first
place in the loop, and that's the
way it may finish.
1t all comes about as the result
of a sort of vicious circle, or
eternal triangle, or something.
Each of the three leaders has
won three games and lost two.
Marysville has twice defeated St.
Mary, St. Mary has twice defeat
ed Sunbury, and Sunbury has
twice defeated Marysville. All
three teams have also defeated
Redwood and Mt. Gilead once
each.
Remaining on the schedule for
each of the three leaders are
games with Redwood and Mt.
Gilead. Redwood, a steadily i'm
proving quintet, is given a chance
of knocking off one or more of
the leaders, and thus untangling
things a bit. Mt. Gilead, however,
with five straight league losses,
is given no chance of bettering
its record.

will be mailed three or four days
late. They should be received "a

This delay is due to the extra

mately 10000. This work is done
in the office in Columbus and not
in the County Office. The local

mailed to all who are on the rolls
and they need not worry about
losing out on this check.
They regret that this delay is
necessary but have been assured
by the Columbus office that eV-
cry effort is being made to ge
the checks to recipients at the
earliest possible moment.
