for danger signals to go up.

for danger signals to go up.
 The government, it was stressed, would have to concentrate on the task of preserving the economic life of England. Another warning came from a prominent religious leader. The English people were confronted, he said, by immense danger in the planned society be- coming so common. If more and more orders had to be issued about which the people would have to put up with and obey" it would be the beginning of national suicide.
 Result of Planning
 The British do not lack coal be- cause they have no plan. Socialism is full of plans. The coal mines are there, too. What socialism forgets, however, is that private and per sonal initiative, meaning hard work and high production, make up the factors that insure economic sta bility. English miners can never dig coal with paper plans. Men dig and distribute coal to consumers of fuel largely because of various in centives.
 Not the least of these incentives is that men make money in the process of getting the coal out of the ground. But a nation does not get rid of monopoly by making the monopoly one of government. The prime products of socialism and communism, with their monopolies of government, have been low standards of living and meager production. Thing to remember is that no antitrust laws can reach this kind of monopoly.
 Best Statesmanship
 It takes either revolution or world conflict to sweep out failures of monopolistic government, once they become entrenched by long habit. But Americans will exercise great concern over the state of af- fairs in England. No nation can continue indefinitely to weather crises of this magnitude. If these things herald the eventual break up of the British empire, they are therefore of greatest seriousness to America.
 In any event responsibility falls with increasing weight upon Amer ica, These duties lie most fully now in the part we must play of making our free and dynamic econ- omy, without taint of socialistic experimentation, the example for the whole world.

the world, it is my feeling that lit- tie or nothing along the socialist order is to be found there that we would wish to adopt in America. Even before the coal and power crisis reached the terrible propor- tions of mid-February, the British were being urged by critics within their own realm to abandon plans for further standardization.
 National Suicide?
 MT Shinwell, minister of fuel and power, along with Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the Board of Trade, asked that the country fore go any further reorganization of the electric power industry. The idea behind their plea was that British industry could not afford to be exposed to the uncertainties and hazards that would accompany more experimentation. It was time

Breach Healer
(By BARNET NOVER)


 THERE SEEMS to be little doubt now that both Houses of Congress will not only approve President Tru mans proposal regarding aid to Greece and Turkey but will do so by handsome maorities. The unanimous vote of the Senate foreign relations committee reporting out the aid bl with amendments that should help clar ify and strengthen it, is significant straw in the wind
 In the meantime the debate on the Truman doctrine goes all the world
 At its recent conference, the British CoOperative party, which claims membership of million and is affiliated with the Labor movement approved resou ton denouncing the trend in American foreign poll icy.
 The debate preceding the vote on this resolution re- fected the alarm that has been aroused in lefwing cir ces in Great Britain the possibility of breach between east and west It is precisely for the same reason that an important minority of the Labor contingent in the House of Commons has taken an creasngy critical attitude toward the policies pursued by Ernest Bevin.
 The Co-Operators turned down a resolution demand ing the suspension of conscripton and another that would have put the record as in favor of substantial reduction in the British defense budget.
 To have approved such resolutions would in effect have meant repudation of the Labor government h. stead, the delegates took it out the United States
 The argument that the Truman policy regarding Green and Turkey will widen the breach between Rus sia and the west is frequently in this country too It happens to be based falacous assumption that this breacht has been growing steadily since the end of the warw be healed only the west careful to oppose the Soviet Union.
 The truth of the matter is that precisely such easygong policy that has brought the world to its pres ent pass From Teheran to POsdam and through the Moscow conference of 1945 and the two Paris confer ences of the council of foreign ministers in 1946 many major and host of minor were made by the United States and Great Britain to Russia Such policy did not make for peace in the world even good rela tions between east and west
 Despite the camor of lefwins critics the indications that the Truman doctrine has attracted consider able degree of support abroad That support will grow it has become clear that the American policy the strengthening and not the weakening of the international order, of whose chief pillars is the United Nations.
 The United States is capable of serving as a great magnet to ke-minded nations But to do it's world task effectively it must stand for something The anti Con- munis aspect of American policy attracting the great est amount of attention.
 ITO be fully effective, policy must be positive, structive, dynamic. It must be doctrine of advocacy aiming at the perpeuation and expansion of the demo- cratic idea.

Presidents Civil Rights aa2
Group Makes Courageous
Suggestions To Nation

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct.
90 (NNPA). The Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights
submitted to President Tru-
man last Wednesday a COM
prehensive report detailing a
broad program for securing and
protecting individual civil rights.
A broad program to curb mob
violence, outlaw discrimination in
employment, end poll tax abuses
and protect the right Of individuals
investigated by congressional com
mittees was proposed by President
Truman's committee.
Committee Suggestions
. Strengthen the right OF the
individual TO safety and security.
The committee will urge that the
present federal law dealing with
certain forms Of mob violence be
changed to provide sitter penal
ties. Also approved In principle is
federal Rnti-lynehing legislation.
Strengthen the right Of the indi-
viduRl to citizenship. The com
mittee will recommend strong
measures to abolish the poll tax
and TO enforce present court rul-
ings which ban other restrictions
on the right Of Negroes and poor
whites to vote In Southern states
. Strengthen the machinery for
the protection Of the rights Of the
individual suspected OF crime or

religious and political beliefs. The
committee win warn against legis-
latiOn which would tend 20 curb
either, such, a. present proposals
for Outlawing the Communist
party.
The committee urged the admin
istration TO clarity" provisions in
present loyalty" regulations to
protect the civil rights Of govern
ment workers.
II recommended that congress
and the state Legislatures outlaw
segregation and discrimination
based on race, color, creed, or ma
tional origin, in such places a.
trains, buses, schools, hospitals
theaters, hotels, restaurants, the
armed services, and private employ
ment.
Il proposed that the states OUT

small nations" adding:
at has become through private
Investment a part Of the imperial
istic block which il controlling the
colonies Of the world"
The petition further charges that
Because Of caste custom and legis-
lation along the color line, the
United States is today in danger
Of encroaching upon the rights and
privileges Of its fellow nations.
"Most people of the world are
more or less colored in skin; their
presence at the meetings Of the
United Nations as participants and
as visitors renders them always
liable TO insult and to discriminA-
ton.
mot very long ago the nephew
Of the ruler Of . neighbOring
American state, was killed by pO-
licemen in Florida, because he was
mistaken for a Negro and thought
to be demanding rights which q
Negro in Florida Is not legally per-
mitted to demand.
again and more recently in
Illinois, the personal physician Of
Mahatma Gandhi, one Of the great
men Of the world and an ardent
supporter Of the United Nations,
was with his friends refused food
in a restaurant, again because they
we're mistaken for Negroes.
"In a third case, a great insur-
ance society metropolitan Life
Insurance Co.. in the United States
in its development Of a residential
area which would serve for hous-
ing the employees Of the United
Nations, is insisting and reserving
the right to discriminate against
the persons received as residents
for reasons Of race and color.
"An these are but passing incl
dents; but they show clearly that
discrimination praeticed in the
United States against her own
citizens and to a large extent q
contravention Of her own laws, can
not be persisted in, without in
fringing upon the rights Of the
peoples Of the world and especially
upon the ideals and the work Of
the United Nations.
This question then, which Is
without doubt primarily an internal
and national question, becomes In
evitably an international question
and will in the future become more
and more international, a. the ma
tons draw together.
an this great attempt to find
common ground and to maintain
peace, It Is, therefore, fitting and
proper that the thirteen million
American citizens Of Negro descent
should appeal to the United Nations
and ask that organization in the
proper way to take eOgniIancs Of
a situation which dspriVss this
group Of their rights As men and
citizens, and By 50 doing makes the
funetioning Of the United Nations
moro difficult. Il not d many eases
