BEAUTIFUL HANDS"

Some hands are soft and lovely

And some red and ugly

That soothes away our pain
The doctors hands are soft and white
They make us we'll again.
Another pair of lovely hands

Though Whte not yet helpless in the least
When human lifes at stake.
I see two lovely little hands
Soft as the breath of spring
Like the satin petals of the

Though they're busy night and day
The hands that led us in paths of right
And taught us how to pray.

Mine Elevator Strike
Denounced by Britain

LONDON Sunday. Aug. 21.-
The government today denounced
a strike of mine elevator operators
as making Britain's economic
crisis even worse.
Pit winders in Yorkshire mines
struck suddenly yesterday, clos
ing all but eight of 35 mines
scheduled to operate in the county.
The National Coal Board, which
runs the nationalized mines,
warned them in a statement that
the strike will aggravate the al
ready serious economic position Of
the country" 1t said the claim
for higher wages is being referred
to a Board of Arbitration and will
be heard "at an early date"
The hoist operators walked off
their jobs while delegates of their
national union, the Colliery Wind
ers Federation. were negotiating
with the Labor Ministry.
The workers ask pay increase
to IS shillings ($O per day over
existing rates of 21 shillings 10
pence ($4.36) to 26 shillings
$500.
A general strike of hoist men
could halt all coal mining in Brit

RICHMOND, Aug. 20. - The
post-primary political jockeying

1850 General Assembly.
In Norfolk, w. Carl Spencer

the criticism from abroad couldn't t
come at worse time. American,
British and Canadian officials will
go into a huddle in Washington
September 6 or 7 to see whether
they can find q lasting cure for
Britain's dollar shortage. The
British have been hoping for de-

Lines Of U. s. Criticism.
In general American criticism
reproduced here has taken these
main lines:
Here it is four years after the
war and Britain still has its hand
out for dollars. How much longer
is this going on?
The British workman produces
only half as much on the aver
age as his counterpart in an
American factory. He should
work harder.
Britain cannot afford a lve-day
working week at a time like this.
The Labor Government is PAM
pering the worker with welfare
and health services which demand
outrageously high taxes. Private
enterprise is robbed of its incentive
and does not risk capital for pos
sible new profits.
To these criticisms the Labor
ties reply:
British industry took beating
during the war, yet produced in
the first quarter of this year at
131 per cent Of the 1888 rate. This
is a better showing than any other
industrial nation 'of Western Eu-
rope which took part in the war.
British exports are running 1856
per cent Of prewar. The trouble
is in selling them to dollar areas.
The recent falling of Of Amer
lean buying has hurt. Sales of
wool, jute. rubber, tin and cocoa
to America in the first quarter of
1949 was at a rate of $500, 100000
year. Sales in 1948 totaled $780,
100000.
The British workman produces
less than the American because he
has fewer machines to help him.
British industry is undermining as
fast as it can, especially in the
branches that are now state
owned.
The British workman produced
only half as much as the Ameri-
can even before the war-when
Britain had a Conservative gov
ernment.

May Press Pound .Devaluation.
The major American proposal
for action by the British, accord
ing to all advance speculation. will
be an insistent request that Sir
Stafford and Mr.. Bevin agree to
devalue the pound from its pres
ent rate of $403 to some substan-
TALLY lower figure.
For their own part, American
officials are ready to suggest a
number of relatively minor moves
such as improving American tariff
procedures to encourage imports
from Britain and the Empire
countries, and providing technical
assistance to British industries
and to colonial areas, in an effort
to step up the marketing of Brit
tsh products in the United States.
Some officials in the State De-
partnent and elsewhere in the
United States Government believe
that Britain cannot survive as
world power without completely
unhindered access to American
markets. They think that some
time in the future the only way
the United States can keep Britain
alive will be to join a customs
union, sharing a common currency
and completely integrated econ
omy. But that is not slated for
discussion at next months talks.
Bold New Steps Doubted.
British spokesmen say they are
discouraged by a feeling that
American officials will be COM
pletely unwilling to embark on
any bold new enterprises.
This, of course. was not the case
i when the United States granted
the first British postwar loan in
1916 and then gave Britain a new
