 ever-spreading war there. Refu- gees crowd the countries of h. dia and Pakistan, and bandits overrun the country in Malaga.
 Living conditions are defi- nitely better within England, though, the columnist feels. He attributes the improvement to the fact that "nobody's got any money now. At the end of the war, everybody had a lot of money, but there was nothing to buy. Nobody has any now, and everyone's much happier"
 However because of contro- versy with Argentina over beef shipments, the meat and fats ration in England is being cut, he said. He told of dining on a steak in Anchorage, which was almost the equivalent of weeks meat ration in London for himself, his wife and two sons.
 Conditions in Norway,
 where Mrs. Wickstett was
 born, are worse than in Eng
 land. Food there is not so
 good as it was a year ago,
 but the country is the only
 one in the world which is
 making a wholehearted eff
 fort to balance its budget.
 England's industry is staging a comeback, the neWspaperman stated, but has not yet bridged the gap between demand and supply. He looks for no change in government for many years to come. The British appear happy with their present Labor leaders, and the government has demonstrated it's ability to change to meet the needs of the British people.
 The visitor was an overnight guest at the Matanuska Hotel, and then was taken on a drive up the highway by patrolman E. R. Alexander. They travelled as far as Tazlina, and caught glimpses of moose, caribou, eagles and sheep along the way.
