Conservatives Split
In England by Swing.
|0f Leaders 10 Left
BY the As,oei1ssd Press

| LONDON, June 26.-An apparent
swing to the left by some OF thu
top figures Of Britain's Conservative
| Party is creating rift In the oppc.
sition to the Labor scyernment''

In speeches and In editorials
opposing Conservative forces arr
waging what Socialist commenta-
tor called "an ur1holy row."
| The. uproar stemmed from ar
Industrial charter" issued las'

headed by r. A. Butler, former cab.

This policy statement did not
embrace socialism, but 1t accepted

government.
This charter, having trust the
people" as Its theme, was nearly m
oficial document Of the Conserva-
tive Party. 1t was sponsored by the
Conservative central office.
Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express
found the statement bitterly dis
appointing" and declared:
ut is futile to march into the
political battle against socialism
with the Socialist banner, slightly
modified, at the head Of the army.
Then Lord Beaverbrook himself,
one of Mr.. Churchill's chief advisers
In the 1945 general election which
brought Labor into Office, announced
that the Daily Express was "an In

Harold Macmillan, another Con-

speech:
"A few days, If not q few hours,
before the outbreak Of war he told
us there would be no war In Europe

REMEMBER THE RED CROSS

The fact that the Red Cross campaign
quota is to be smaller this year than in
the recent war years does not mean thai
public apathy can be %condoned.
The Red Cross will not face the same
great demands upon its services, but any
lack OF financial backing now would i'm
pose a handicap upon the organization
which could, in emergency. nullify its ef-
ficiencY. Certainly among all public ser
vices offered in the name of humanity,
none better deserves support. None other
is quicker TO respond with aid where
needed.

IT COSTS so MUCH
MIN.

The fiscal program Of Congress is first
TO balance the budget. second, to reduce
the national debt, and third, 10 reduce
income taxes &c per cent if possible. But
il is going to cost SO much 10 operate the
government there is some reason TO doubt
that any Of these desirable detectives can
be reached.
The First National Bank Of Boston, in
its regular Letter, points out that, based
on the 1889 fiscal year, compared with
current budget estimates, the cost Of run
ninq the While House will be trebled the
Labor Department quadrupled, and the
Department Of Commerce multiplied thir-
teen fines. The Letter also reveals thai
The amount asked for the veterans ser
vices and benefits is more than twice
as high as The total federal expenditures
in 1929, while military expenditures are
estimated TO be two-thirds of the total
military outlay for the first World War.
How much OF this is necessary, or how
much could be eliminated, is hard TO saw.
But it is certain thai without reductions
wherever they may be made without
handicapping normal governmental func-
lions and weakening the national defense
or Sinking the nations duty toward its
veterans, there can be no balancing Of the
budget or subtantial cuts in the debt or
income tax %Slashing.
The Boston bank Letter reaches the
conclusion that:
The theory that the Federal Govern
ment should be the m~otivating and direct
ing force of our economic and social &C.
tivlties must be abandoned, for under such
a system there is created a F~rankenstein
that saps the vitality of the country, as
happened in ancient Rome. Under qov-
ernmental dominance there is moi on!y
terrific waste Of the peoples money bul
the economy also becomes so s%tranuulated
by endless red tape and burdensome taxes
that the flow of fresh capital into business

members of its species. If we bear
all these things in mind, we shall
have no difficulty in recognizing
al the members of the. great
family of living things.
The members of this family fall
ito two great groups-animais
and plants. When we speak of ami
mails in this connection, we refer
not only to the four-legged crea-
lures that we generally think of
when we hear the word animal :;
We also include birds and fishes
and sponges. When we talk O.
plants, we have in mind not only
daffodils and ferns and roses, but
also elm trees and yeasts and mi
crobes.
Just what is the difference be-
tween an animal and a plant? For
one thing. the great majority OF
plants are fixed in one place, while
animals, as a rule, are free to
move about. Again, animals feed
mainly on living things-either
other animals or plants. Most
plants, however, feed only on non
living food, such as water, carbon
djoxide. nitrate of ammonia, phos
pilates and SO on. Finally, the cell
walls of plants are formed of a
vegetable fibre called cellulose !;
this substance is missing in ami
mails.
1t is true that some plants do
things that we should expect only
animals to do, while some animals
closely resemble plants in their
manner of life. For example, the
~one-celled diatom, a plant, often
moves about rapidly through the
water. On the other hand, such sea
animals as the coral and the
sponge are firmly attached to one
place.
Living creatures like these, how
ever, are not very common. In
general, animals differ from plants
N the ways that we have pointed
out.

MIDDLE.0F.T THE ROAD

After SO many long years OF excesseS,
Starring with the NRA and continuing al
phabetically through the terrible wal re-
Gently ended, the American people are
strongly in favor Of an era Of moderation
in national affairs.
Thus the latest Gallup poll, reported in
YESTERDAYS Star, reveals Sc per cent OF
the persons q%ueried declared they favor
a middle-of-the-road policy, while only IA
per cent believe we should go more TO
the left and 20 per cent think we should
90 further TO the right.
1t is gratifying to mole that OF the lesser
GROUPS the conservatives outnumber the
liberals. Here is evidence Of a national
trend back toward what President Hard
ing termed normalcY.
The poll also shows a marked change
in public opinion on President Truman
position. In answer TO the question which
of these three policies the President is
following, 10 per cent Of the replies were
10 the left" as against "A per cent hold
ing this opinion a year ago: e per cent
TO the right" against 10 per cent last
year, while 81 per cent today think the
policies have been middle-of-the-road
whereas only Il per cent so believed al
this time in 1916.
Without citing percentages, the poll
further reveals that majorities in both
major political parties want TO see Presi-
dent Truman continue his present middle
of-the-road course. That those holding
this view are not off center is proved by
the steadily increasing public respect tor
him.

THE GREAT FAMILY
OF LIVING THINGS

In an earlier article, you learn
ed that living things differ from
non-living things because they con-
tain protoplasm and because of
certain activities that take place
in the protoplasm. And you learn
ed that one of these activities is
nutrition-the process by which al
animal or a plant nourishes Itself
from materials around it.
There is another wonderful activ-
ity that living things take part
in. They produce from their own
bodies new members of their
species Chat is, the particular
group to which they belong). This
activity is reproduction. The child,
the chicken and the colt grow up
to look like their parents. The
plant produces seeds; if we put
these seeds in the ground, they
grow up into plants that resemble
the original plant. Even the one
celled amelia reproduces its
species.
Just think! With the exception,
perhaps. of a few great trees.

KEATS AND THE DEAMON
KING, by Werner W. Boyer. COX
ford; So.
In 1880 a German, c. M. Vie
land, published a narrative poem
called "Oberon," about a dwarf
with supernatural powers who
watches over the lovers, Huon
and Rezia.
1t had been suggested previous
ly that Keats vas familiar with
the work as early as 1915, when
he was 20. Boyer, offering proof
of that, goes on to examine the
influence of Oberon on the young
poet in his last six years. In an
exacting scrutiny of "Endymion.'
''The Eve of St. Agnes" "Lamia'
and 20 other poems, he finds Vie
land the parent of many things in
Keats for which Shakespeare and
other classical sources do not &C
count.
This is first-rate scholarship
and for the student makes grand
reading. Keats will never be the
same again.

are the real reason for their
wealth and that their influence on

Americas Card Authority
Written for NEA Service

Today's hand is n that a tourn-
ament player would probably go
down on. while a rubber bridge
player would make the contract.
At rubber bridge it does not make
any difference whether you go
down one or three tricks, 4 you
are not doubled and not vulner-
able, provided there is a chance
to make a slam contract, and that
was the situation in this hand.
When West held the opening
lead, he continued with a heart
which declarer won with the
queen. Declarer had already lost
the heart and he was bound to lose
at least one club trick. However,
if the spade finesse worked, the
two losing clubs could be dis
carded on the ace and king OF
spades. If the finesse failed, de-
clarer would 60 down an extra
trick.
The rubber bridge player knew
that the odds were in his favor.
The fact that West did not shift
to a spade after winning the first
heart trick might indicate that he
held the queen of spades and did
not want to lead away from it.
The next point is, should the
spade finesse be taken immediate
w so that in case it fails, dummy
could be entered with the king
of diamonds and at least one dis
card taken?
Of curse the spade finesse is
the correct play because it is the
only way that the contract can be
made. However, it should not be
taken Immediately. because South
would feel rather silly if he risked
all o nthe spade finesse and they
broke five-two. He should take
three rounds of trumps first, then
the spade finesse. 1t holds and the
jack-ten of clubs are discarded
on the spade ace and king.
The tournament bridge player
probably would not be justified in
taking the spade finesse. He would
reason that not too many pairs
would be in the slam contract, and
those arriving at a five-diamond
contract would play it safe in
order to make it. If the tourna-
ment player did take the finesse,
he probably would take if before
pulling trumps, still trying 70 OBJ
