The biggest Senate cut was an

The Senate also directed Sec

at those quarters which hold the
: policies of the British Socialist
government to blame for her eco
nomic woes.
The President returned to the
Capital right after his Philadel-
phia talk, which was made in
Convention Hall, where Mr.. Tru-
man was nominated last July.
His special train arrived here at
6:15 pm.
Stressing that world prosperity
is tied up to world peace. and
that only If the world is pros
porous can this country prosper.
the President said that this is
the first of four basic principles
on which this country is proceed
ing with all the free nations.
Expansion of Trade.
The second principle calls for
expansion Of world trade, the
President said. adding:
Sound and prosperous rela-
tions among nations rest upon
the exchange of goods and serv-
ices on a business basis. We are
not engaged in a charitable en-
terprise. We are not looking for
trick solutions to deep-seated
problems"
The third principle, he contin-
ued, is "that we cannot succeed
in creating a sound and expand
ing world economy unless we keep
everlastingly at it."
Then he launched into the non
interference theme.
"The fourth principle is that
the democratic nations are not
proposing to interfere with one
another's internal politics" he
asserted. 1--WE know very well
how we would feel if some foreign
nation tried to tell us how to vote.
We recognize that each nation
has its own political problems,
and that it uses different political
labels and different slogans from
those we use at home. In the
same way, nations have different
governmental devices for achiev-
ing the sshe economic ends"

U. 5. Considers Plan
To Buy More British
Strategic Materials
Nv the Associcted Press

The United States is consider
ing q plan to send more dollars
Britain's way by boosting pur-
chases of strategic materials from
British markets.
Government officials said this
country's negotiators are giving a
sympathetic hearing to British
requests for a ,speedup in Amer
lean strategic stockpiling during
the next few months.
The British contend dollars
earned during this period will
prove of great help to them in
charting long-range plans for
solving their present economic
crisis.
Tin and rubber are the main
strategic items Britain has to
offer. The United States has been
buying limited quantities Of these
to add to the growing stockpile
OF strategic materials being set
aside for an emergency.
Rubber Regulation to Stay.
Oficials said. however, it Is
doubtful that the administration
will consent to boost British sales
by relaxing regulations requiring
American rubber manufacturers
to use 100000 tons of synthetic
rubber annually in their products.
Any move to amend these rules.
officials said, might affect national
security since synthetic rubber
plants might be needed in case OF
war. The Government owns all
synthetic plants now.
British government officials con-
tinue outlining their problems to
American and Canadian govern
ment representatives today IN
meetings at the State Department.
These preliminary "fact finding
discussions now are in their third
day. Top cabinet officials from
Britain and Canada are scheduled
to arrive next week end to hammer
these facts into a three-natlon
program aimed at checking the
British economic slump.
Editor Takes British to Task.
Geoffrey Crowther, a prominent
British editor, suggested yesterday
that to solve her problems MS
country must get away from any
idea the world owes her . living.
Mr.. Crowther is editor OF the
London weekly. the Economist.
1--WE have slipped in the last
generation in England into believ-
ing that the world not merely
owes us q living. but that the
world will meets its obligation and
provide us with a living" Mr..
Crowther said in a copyrighted
interview published in the mag
azine, U. S. News and World
Report.
1--WE have got to be willing to
face the uncomfortable fact that
the world values the services OF
the British people less highly than
they value them themselves"

Employment
Service Gets
Jobs For lO2

While 102 applicants were
placed in jobs through the Key
West Florida State Employment
Service office in April, 2l3 were
still seeking employment the first
of May. Jeff H. knight, Jr., local
office manager, said these APP
plicants are chiefly sales clerk,
clerk typist, waitress, and la
borers.
Only l6 of the 213 job appli-
cants in Monroe county seeking
work through the employment
service were receiving unem-
ployment compensation benefits
for the week ending April 80. All
unemployment compensation
claimants must register for jobs
with the Employment Service Of
ficer before receiving any bene-
fits. ~,
9One group of Monroe county's
unemployed are not eligible for
unemployment compensation be-
cause their former position was
not in firm of eight or more
or was in one of the many types
of firms now excluded by the
Florida law, while others of a
group are excluded because they
did not earn the minimum $3.50
during the proceeding quarters"
Knight said.
Compensation benefits are paid
out to unemployed workers who
are out of work through no fault
of their own and are able and
available for suitable employ
ment. Individuals out of work
as a result of injury or illness are
not eligible.
Employment opportunities are
rather limited in this area at the
present time. However, this is a
natural trend after the winter
season, knight said.
Job orders, applications for
jobs and unemployment compen-
sation claims should be made at
the local Florida State Employ
ment Service at 314 Simonton,
street, telephone 489.
