BABSON Discusses England

like giving aspirin and electric pad to someone
who needs a surgical operation.
GOAL TO SEEK
My prayer and hope is that the Conference will
get down to fundamentals namely of getting the
Dernocracies into an honest and workable economic
union. We already fast approaching mutual
defense union and this is step in the right drec-
tion This however, is much like repairing and
painting an old house which really needs tim
bers and a strong foundation. Let each nation con-
tnue to run it's internal affairs as it wishes, but
insist that we get together, economic matters
These cannot successfully be divided by drawing
lines maps.
Russia has no trade barriers between its differ
ent countries In order for the Democraces to hold
their own, they must reduce tariff BARRIERS have
international dollar and perhaps a single postage
stamp trading among themselves. In effect, this
would mean extending Englands present prefer
entail trading system (which now applies only to
the members of the British Commonwealth to other
Democracies such the U. S., France, Holland Bel
gium, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and per-
haps Greece and Turkey
10 OR 20 MORE YEARS OF PROSPERITY
Such program might temporarily hurt few
U. S. manufacturers whom the government could for
a while subsidize. Labor might fight it for fear of
unemployment; but it's ultimate results could mean
higher standard of living and better security for
every reader of this column the people of the United
States we'll the people of foreign lands. The
United States cannot long continue to "lve the life
Of Riley" while the rest of the world is starving The
realize this the better for all concerned
including ourselves
am sure that President Truman is anxious to put
such program. If the Republicans would heart
lily join therein, employment and profits would again
increase and the entire business situation would
definitely improve. ca neven envsage great boom
in the stock market and another 5 or 10 years of
prosperity. Such program must however, get off
"on the right foot" Republicans must not cry "wolf
wolf and scare people into believing that it is a
mistake to pray "Thy Kingdom come on earth.
This would not be of trying to "get something
for nothing" but rather of GETTING SOMETHING
FOR SOMETHING.

"Why should we Americans use good u. S. dollars
to make Socialism a success?" Hence, they are try
ing to get the English government to promise to give
up Socialism return for U. S. dollars,or at least
not push it further.
But here is the answer of Bevn, Attlee and
Cripps cat the presetn time the world is divided
into two great and powerful groups,-The Demo-
cracies which stand for Free Enterprise, and the
Russians who stand for Communism. Unless some
middle ground of compromise be developed both
groups headed for World War III which will
to work out such compromises safe bridge
between America and Russia 1t is worth billions of
dollars to the United States to help do this This
is Englands argument and I'm inclined to believe
it will appeal to President Truman.
QUESTIONS BEING DISCUSSED
Many questions are being discussed. Chief of
these is the devaluation of the pound which would
make it easier for the English to sell their goods
without increasing the efficiency of their labor and
machinery. This would be only postponing the final
need to debase her currency if her production,
agement and labor would wake up and become eff
cent.
/ Among other things are: Fixing new and guar
anteed rate of money exchange for all Western ma
tions, the powers of the World Bank President Tru-
mans Point 4, our American Tariff the so-caed
Block Balances the continuation of Land-Lease etc.
All these however. are mere temporary palliatives
| to relieve the patient (England) of pain. They are

City Series Continue
AS A. C. Wins First

One of the seasons largest turn
outs of baseball fans is expected at
the Milford Park this Sunday eve
ming when the City Championship
Series between the. Milford A. G..
and the Milford Yanks is resumed
with the playing of the second
game of the best two out of three
series, The series opened the past
Sunday evening with the A. C.'s,
local Mar-Del League entry, de-
feating the Yanks,, to 0. Another
win for the A. C.'s Sunday would
bring the series to close and give
the A. C.'s possession of the. city
title, while win for the Yanks
on Sunday would of course even
the series and carry it into third
game for final decision,
Last Sunday evening !, Harry
(Duke) Markell, Phillies' farm
hand and former Eastern Shore
League hurler, returned to the
scene of former triumphs and hurl-
ed four-hit ball to blank the Yanks
to o.. The big right handler from
New York experienced little or, no
difficulty in setting down the us
ually hard-hitting Yanks and struck
out 81 men. Only one Yank ad-
vanced as far as third base and on
four different occasions, Markell
retired the entire side via the
strikeout route.
Wildness of George Brown, the
Yanks' speedball artist, and errors
afeld contributed to the Yanks'
downfall; the A. C's, on the other
hands played heads-up defensive
bail and used their five hits to best
possible advantage.
The A. C.'s broke into the scor-
/ ing column in the first inning when
| Shortstop Bucky Johnson reached
first on an outfielder's error and
subsequently scored on Browns
overthrow of first. The "A. C.'s
scored twice in the third inning
by combining singles by B. John
son and Markell with three bases
on balls, a passed ball and a wilG
pitch. The A. C.'s completed the
scoring in the sixth when Joe Lanl
and Hal Davis singled, advanced tt
third and second, respectively. or

: scored as Jay Drummond miscuet
