Though faced with another winter
of shortages, Britain is looking tc
the future and a better way Of life
for all of its people. Miss Jennie
Lee, member of British Parliament
told members of the American News
paper Women's Club yesterday at a
tea given in her honor.
Miss Lee, the wife of Aneurin
Bevan, British Minister of Health
gave a detailed analysis of Brit
aims present problems, and declared
that the Labor government is i'm
proving the general level Of exist
ence of the average Briton.
"Our social conscience was never
more tender and our material re-
sources never were so restricted" she
said.
Proudly pointing out she was the
daughter of Scottish coal miner,
she told of the coal districts, the
slums and back streets with all
of their heartbreaks as she knew
them in the years between the two
World Wars.
Speaking on the present govern
ment's point of view. she said: 1--WE
are haunted by a guilt feeling that
in =, the past we permitted a bad
system of economy and the gross
inequalities of living and opportun-
| ity."
She pointed out that Britons, like
America , are divided in their opin-
ions Id exercise their democratic
u ..vllege of airing them.
Citing the mining industry as ar
example of reform, Miss Lee SAID
that before the war unemployment
prevailed, miners were underpaio
and many mines were obsolete
Now, she said, recruiting is going
up and absenteeism is going down,
and with modernization of the IN
dustry, Britain is expecting to begin
coal exports next year.
Miss Grace McGerr, vice presiden,

if either were in a position to adj
