so" wrote Governo~ Bradford,
''it well appeared that famine
must still issue the next year also,
if not some way prevented. So the
colonists," he goes on to say, ''be-
gan to think how they might raise
as much corn as they could, and
obtain a better crop than they
had done, that they might not still
thus languish in misery. At
length, in 1923, after much debate
of things, the government, with
the advice of the chief among
them gave way that they should
set corn every man for his own
particular, and in that regard
trust to themselves and SO as
signed to every family parcel Of
land. This had very good success,
for it made all hands very indus
trious, so much more corn was
planted than otherwise would
have been by any means the gov
eminent could use."
1.-The women now went willing
ly into the field and took their
little ones with them to set corn,
which before would allege weak
ness and inability; whom to have
compHlled would have been
thought great tyranny and OPP
preston. The experience that was
had in this common course and
condition, tried sundry years, and
that amongst godly and sober
men, may well evince the vanity
of that conceit of Platos and other
applauded by some of
later times: that the taking away
of property and bringing in COM
into a common wealth
would make them happy and
flourishing; as if they were wis
er than God. For the community
was found to breed much confu-
sion and discomfort, and retard
much employment that would
have been to their benefit and
comfort"

The strong, or man of parts, had

by this time the new harvest

now God gave them plenty, and
the face of them was changed, to
the rejoicing of the hearts Of

God. And the effect of their par

well seen, for all had, one way

a dozen nations following suit,
has government and economic ex-
perts here opining in all direc-
tons.
Predictions range the scale from
pessimism to optimism as to whe-
ther the reduced value of the
pound sterling in relation to the
dollar will cure England's finan-
cial woes. Most observers felt it
was step in the right direc-
ton, but insisted that England's
ability to sell it's manufactured
products in this country would
still depend on merchandising
skill and ingenuity.
The first reaction of commodity
markets in the US. was down.
J ward, reflecting fears. that de-
valued foreign currencies would
be able to buy less grains and
other farm products from this
country.
In us. manufacturing circles
concerned with exports there was
gloom, too. American products
automatically would cost the Bri-
fish 43.9 per cent more in dollars
than before. AS consequence,
said one observer, we can expect
OF see a decline in demand from
abroad for American-made cleo
trical equipment, agricultural inn
plements, trucks, tractors, ma
chine tools, petroleum products,
and cottons.
i NO BILLIONS-President Tru-
mans point four program for aid
1g the economic development of
backward areas in the world
seems to have created wrong ideas
abroad which leading American
iindustrialist says must be straight
ened out. John L. Collyer, presi-
dent of the B. F. Goodrich COM
pany, told members of the Society
of Automotive Engineers in Mil
waukee that many nations think
billions Of taxpayers dollars will
be made available for this pur-
pose. 1T is not intended to be a
big-money program" he said. EN-
stead, its main objective is to raise
the standard of living and develop
productivity in certain undevelop-
ed sections through the utilization
of American methods and know
how" The Goodrich executive
frowns upon international price,
fixing or price-raising agree
ments and says they lead only to
the protection Of inefficiencies."
The idea that much Of the cost Of
such schemes can be borne by the
American taxpayer is being taken
too much for granted, Collyer
said. The belief that the United
States 'can underwrite the am
billions Of millions in all corners
pf the world is a mistake that can
lead only to bitter establishment
and economic disaster" he added.

think that the Conservatives
would have kept their promise to
nationalize the mines and he is
sure that Britain will not turn to
Communism: 'We're not that bad

replaced with someone "as ener-

but his mother has often been to
the old family physician and his
father to the dentist. They find
the service 'just as good as be-
fore" But Peter thinks that So
cialization has gone far enough for
the present.
While the young Mr.. Clifton is
still astonished at the prodigal
eating of Americans, he says he
hasn't suffered too much in Bri-
tain. He has plenty of vegetables
and fish but not enough meat,
eggs, milk, cookies, and sugar.
When candy rationing went off
this summer, he admits that the
people became candy hogs" but
excuses this on the ground that
they had been without it for nine
years. Relatives in the United
States send his family CARE
packages about three times. year
Most CARE parcels 60 to speci-
fic addresses, he thinks. His fam

the American attitude should be
toward Britain. We're in a hole

need your sympathy" He is in
clined to believe that Britain ir

Americans ought to give back"
