ble-sized cup of coffee that is
blacker than fifty feet down a
well and stronger than Lionel
Stronghold, has never been my
idea of relaxation.
Love Rain on Noggins.
1t would be bad enough If the
chair were placed in a room. with
walls and a ceiling, but French
men don't like to sit indoors. Ap-
parently they love the patter-
splatter of rain on their noggins,
and the sharp winds Chat are
blowing now to chill their shin
bones. And they detest having
enough room to raise an elbow
without poking the occupant OF
the next table in the ribs.
It all works out to high dis
comfort. I would much rather
have a cup of coffee in a phone
booth with a good-sized Shetland
pony.
Offhand, I can't think of any
American custom that tourists to
our shores feel obliged to suffer
through. But I suppose there is
one. and I do hope it is some
thing fairly unpleasant to make
up for the siestas. sidewalk cafes

Pearl HarbOr Memorial
Shaft May Rise From Framework of
i. S. S. Arizona Sunk on Infamous Day
BY Harry Honon

public relations officer. People
don't seem to want to come out
here much and see what is, after
all. the only memorial we've got
to the dead at Pearl Harbor.
They come to Hawaii and I offer
to take them out and they say,
oh, yes. very interesting, I'll call
YOU But they rarely do"
1t is possible to walk along the
decks Of the Arizona and peer
down the remains of the smoke
stack where the Japanese by a
duke planted a 1,000-to-2, ,0Q0-
pound bomb. Six other bombs
and q torpedo also struck the ship.
One bomb is believed to have
penetrated the black powder
magazine. destroying the whole
vessels forward structure in the
resulting explosion. Hence the
great loss Of life, the bodies still
adrift in her compartments de-
spite every effort of divers and
others to 1ind ways to extract
them.
Utah q Mistake.
It has been proposed that the
Arizona be left exactly as is and
that simple memorial shaft to
the Pearl Harbor victims be
erected on her framework.
The old Utah thrusts her rusted
remains from the water at crazy
angles. She was a mistake, any,
way, for the Japanese. They had
a plan that showed the aircraft
carrier Lexington in that spot; it
was the Lexington's mooring but
she had gone out and the Utah
was there. It could be seen from
the air that the Utah was no
carrier but q battered antique.
But the Japanese fiers had
orders; they bombed her just the
same. expending a great part Of
their striking power uselessly.
In Hawaii also in q gloriously
placed natural arena, Punchbowl
Hill, is a new cemetery for the
Pacific war dead who do not 70

Ernie Pyle rests. His grave is

ownership, and has broken the
power of finance capitalism as
effectively as any political revolu-
ton could. The Russian and
American Communists who de-
claim against Wall Street" SIM
ply do not know what they are
talking about. Economic power in
America has long since passed
from Wall Street to Detroit and
other centers Of mass production.
During the recent war this sec
ond revolution demonstrated, In
two places, its miraculous and
even fearsome power in the
United States and Germany. Only
because Germany had gone so far
in the naturalization Of the work
process. could she challenge Eu-

tinent.

This revolution favors countries
Of large area. with ample domes-
tic raw materials and mobility of
labor. Hence Germany's desire for
room" It does not favor Britain.
It would favor Russia. but-per-
haps fortunately for us-Russia
has become a theological state,
where q political hierarchy die
tates to science and nationality.
The devaluation of the pound
is thus not cure but a symptom.
For months it has been possible
to purchase pounds outside Brit
ain at far below the official rate,
and all the restrictions Of the
Labor government could not pre-
vent this.
I wish I could believe that de-
valuation would have no adverse
effects In Britain. It has imme-
diately raised the price Of bread
which Is a standard cost-of-fiving
index for workers. It is doubtful
If, in q free country where gov
ernment depends on the votes Of
organized labor. 1t will be pos
sible to keep wages stabilized. A
people who have been world ar
biters for three centuries do not
take q decline In fortune for
granted.
The British problem is almost
equally an American one, for we
cannot stand alone or direct or
contain Bankruptcy and chaos,
nor can we expect stability In 1852.
There is no dateline that can be
fixed for the end Of our RESPONSE
bilities. Power obliges; it Is a
burden as we'll as a privilege.

which is placed before a wobbly,
much too small table, smack dab
in the middle of a sidewalk

Last month the American Legion
Founders at their Philadelphia
convention did the same, as did
the Delta Theta Phi law fraternity
assembled in Detroit. This month
the Kansas State Council of the
Knights Of Columbus resolved:
Whereas: Two world wars to
establish peace and. freedom
among men have produced Nazism
and Communism:
Whereas: Today fear and
hatred grip the souls of men 30
that a cold war is waged between
nations;
: Whereas: Military power and
state diplomacy have failed to
bring peace and freedom to the
peoples OF the world;
Therefore be 1t resolved: they
call on all Knights to join In daily
prayer.
. That is the movement. Congress,
however, following historic policy
has resolved to trust in God-and

This Changing World
Fate of British Socialist Experiment
Hinges on Debate Over Attlee's Policies

remained after 1t ended. It was
an unwise moment to attempt
such an experiment. for II So
cialism had any merit at all. and
the Conservative opposition Is not
disposed to overthrow by any
means all Of the Socialists legis-
lation, 1t had two strikes on 1t
before 1t ever got started.
The British people have wearied
Of the austerity which Labor's
program has imposed on them
and this weariness undoubtedly
will reflect itself in the debate,
which will occur at q time when
the government Is attempting to
head OIL new wage increases
threatening to nullify whatever
advantage could accrue to Britain
from the cheapening of the pound.
It Is going to find 1t dimcult to
deny some Of these demands, for
they are backed by the threat of
fresh strikes. some Of which are
already under way In the form Of
slowdowns.
Change in Policy Unlikely.
Although the large Labor ma
jority makes 1t unlikely that the
House Of Commons would pass q
motion of mo confidence" which
would force the Laborites to 60 to
the country for approval or rejec-
ton of their policies, such a pos
sibility is not to be ruled out en-
tirely. The result appears to de-
pend on the way the left-wing
Laborites vote-or on their ab-
sterftion from voting.
A Labor Party victory in a new
election held now Is not q fore
gone conclusion either, and q
dramatic reversal of policy similar
to that which unSeated Winston
Churchill in 1945 could occur, par
ticularly since the great mass of
British voters have had many
causes Of complaint against the
present government.
Conservative victories in various
local elections held since the last
national election give reason to
believe that there is a great under
current of antagonism to the pres
ent government, and 1t can be
fairly stated that the present
House Of Commons does not rep
resent-probably by a pretty wide
margin-the true political feeling
Of the British electorate.
The Conservatives would pro-
vide a government. at least. which
would not be devoted to the phi
losophy Of "tax and spend" . phi
losophy which is at the root Of
Britain'S Ills.
