Brit0n Iiues I ak
On Empire Before
W asbington Club
By Ruth Dean

Denying the frequent assertion
that .the British Empire is crum-
bling" Philip s. Jones told members
OF the Washington Club yesterday
that Britain is stronger, not
weaker than ever before"
The speaker, who addressed the
clubs Tuesday program, is deputy
to the director of the British In
formation Services and served in
the British Ministry of Information
during the war
The fact that India is to be given
her independence soon probably
has given rise to some of the mis-
understanding about the status OF
the British Empire, Mr. Jones said
Britain has learned the meaning
of freedom, not domination" over
the long period of years. the speaker
added. I'VE in Britain. as well as
the United States, gained our free
dom from the Declaration OF In
dependence" he asserted, and cited
the independence now enjoyed by
the Dominions as practical illus
tration Of this change of thought.
Mr.. Jones also denied rumors that
Britain is being regimented into
Red Socialist state" The British
people voluntarily elected the Labor
Party in 1945 and have supported
it since that time, as is by-elections
have shown, he said. As proof that
the Communists are not gaining a
hold in the Labor Party, Mr.. Jones
cited the, November municipal elec-
tion returns in Birmingham, the
second largest city in England.
where a combined total of only
$4,000 out of 10000 registered
voters cast ballots for four Commu-
mist candidates.
Speaking of Britain's present eco
nomic condition, Mr.. Jones said
things are not as bad as some
people would have them seem. .
Britain is now in the midst of a
large export drive, he pointed out,
with exports showing an increase
OF lis per cent as compared to SO
per cent at the end of the war in
August, 1946. Though the export
drive is strain on home industry,
it has brought the British men and
women face to face" with the real
ization they must depend on trade
to live.
Though Britain is now under a
severe rationing system, Mr.. Jones
said, the total amount of food now
being consumed is no less than 90
per cent of the amount consumed
before the war. He pointed out that
last winters unprecedented bad
weather, with its resulting toll in
crops and livestock, will no doubt
mean a longer period of rationing.
About 100000 sheep, 10000 cattle
and 100000 acres of winter wheat
were lost this past winter, he said.
The food packages from America
are received with much apprecia-
ton, he added.
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin. club
president, presided and introduced
the speaker.

States.
A high light of the program will
be the luncheon tomorrow at the
Statler Hotel, at which Undersecre-
tary of State Dean Acheson will
discuss "The Economics of Peace"
Mr.. Achesons talk will be Off the

tional membership of 72,000 at this
time represents an increase of 13
per cent over last year and Al per
cent over the membership three

tive from each of the IS State
