hard work and many new ideas
went into the Richard Montgomery
year book this winter.
The theme of the 1949 Rocket"
is "to better acquaint the students
of Richard Montgomery with the
curriculum and special classes
offered them" This theme was
shown by the fact that this year,
members of the tenth, eleventh and
twelfth grades all, had an impor-

of the 1949 Rocket" More pic

showing the special classes, liven

ton. The largest year book in 10
years of the schools history will
also include the spring sports;
baseball, softball and volleyball.
Two hundred twenty five people
will receive copies of the 1949

patron list played large part in
the financial success of the annual.

z. The fathers have laid a firm
foundation for the new day t h a t
must come to light; If their sons are
going to build it, they must walk by
faith and not by sight.
s. 1t is true they have some
hardships that are none the less;
but we their prosperity have more
to work with, this we must humbly
and truly confess.
8. We have twenty-four hours, the
same length as their day, the same
God to whom they did
pray; then why can't we sacrifice
to usher in that new day?
10. We too, like our fathers must
learn to make sacrifices, that for
our fellowmen will count; then
throughout life we will never be in
serious want.
II. Trials may come, and perplex-
tiles too, but that son who makes
sacrifices for God and humanity, can
rest assured his failures will be few.
~. With such faith in the God
of our fathers, sacrifices will be
sweet, and faithful sons made con-
querers.

1. The way Of sacrifice for a wor'
thy cause always demands an UNI
usual price, but for certainly in
making the coveted goal, it is a real
safety device.
2. The sacrificial spirit is that
which propels and lifts, while just
as ordinary approach fades away
with the drifts.
S.Sacrifice has brought our nation
to what we now enjoy this high day
could never have been if noble char
acters did not strive, their best eff
forts to employ.
4. Even in days past when condi-
tons seemed hopeless and the out
look dreary, the faith Of our fathers
took time by the forelock, and thru
sacrifice brought this day near.
5. Let us now who are blessed
with the privilege of viewing the re-
suits of their glorious past, build
cautiously and wisely, but with deep
sincerity, and fast.
G. The sons of these struggling
fathers who bear the burden and
heat of the day, must now willing
ly accept their challange, and like
them not forget to pray.

Sterling DevoIuotion

As Britain's economic perplexities
deepen, devaluation Of the pound sterling
becomes literally a burning issue The
Labor Government still stands Arm against
devaluation, but nonoficial opinion In
financial and business circles increasingly
favors the measure as the most feasible
method OF averting, or at least minimizing.
the economic crisis which seemingly
impends.
There can be no reasonable doubt that
the pound. at its present official rate of
"a 03, is decidedly over-valued One proof
of this is that in free" exchange markets
like Switzerland the pound brings only
a trifie over $500. The most serious result
OF this over-vaIuation is that British goods
are being priced out of the world market
at time when its export trade Is vital
to Britains recovery and. stability A
realistic devaluation would mitigate this
handicap and enable British goods to COM
pete on more even terms.
To be sure advocates of devaluation do
not claim that it would be panacea They
recognize that there are other reasons for
Britain's trade lag two of which are de-
fects in industrial efficiency and wage
scales out OF line with labor productivity.
Right there lies the rub Britain's Gov
ernment is Labor Government. depend
ent for its continued existence upon the
support of the organized workers But
devaluation, while it would cheaper ex-
ports, would cause imports TO become more
costly. And since Britain is vitality de-
pendent upon imports OF foodstuffs and
other necessities this would tend to en-
hance the cost of living Labor is already
restive at the lag between wages and living
costs, since the domestic purchasing power
of the pound has been falling slowly yet
steadily within Britain itself The Gov
ernment is having hard battle against
demands for general raise in wages. It
therefore fears that further sharp rise
In living costs following devaluation would
produce a labor crisis of the first magni-
tude.
Already, the rank and file In many
unions are tending to revolt against their
leaders, as evidenced by wildcat" strikes
like that of the railwaymen. Such strikes
are due, not solely to demands for higher
wages but also against working conditions
economically justified to assure higher
efficiency and productivity. The average
British workingman stil feels that under
a Labor Government, he should be bene-
fted even at the expense of other classes
and the community as whole. That may
not make economic sense, when Britain's
overall position Is realistically appraised.
But 1t does make political sense to Labor
Party strategists. faced with the possibility
of a general election In the not distant
future.
It is these political considerations that
account chiefly for the governments stand
against devaluation, although other fac
tors are present, notably the relation Of
Britain and the entire sterling area" Un-
less Britain's economic situation worsens
rapidly into a genuine crisis stage, the
chances are that devaluation will be held
OF for the time being. Whether such a
crisis Is at hand depends on the general
economic trend in the world as well rs on
the course OF events within Britain itself.

The LoophoIes Are Still There

In the midst of all the news about es-
pionage and counterespionage, Attorney
General Clark has issued timely reminder
that our laws against spies and saboteurs
still have loopholes in them. These loop
holes were pointed out some months ago
by committee representing the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the military
and naval intelligence services. An ad-
ministration bill designed to remedy the
weaknesses of existing law was introduced
early in the present session of Congress.
It is still pending.
The bill, as amended and reported by
the Senate Judiciary Committee, would
make spying riskier, more dif1icult busi-
ness than foreign agents have found 1t
to be in the past 1t would, for example,
extend from three to ten years the statute
of limitations on past espionage violations
an extension which would enable the
Department of Justice to bring more prose-
cutions against known spies. It would re-
ouire the registration of all persons trained
by foreign government in espionage or
sabotage. The FBI does not expect alien
agents so trained to sign up, of course, but
the provision of law would give the Gov
ernment another prosecutive weapon
against spies. although evidence of an
overt act Of espionage or sabotage may be
lacking. The theory Is that person does
not take course Of instruction In NTH
column techniques unless he intends 70
use them. II he takes the instruction Just
as q hobby, he should have no objection to
registering.
Originally the bill had q provision spe-
cifically authorizing wire-tapping methods
against spies and the Introduction In court
of evidence obtained by wire tapping. This
provision was eliminated In committee,
with the consent Of Mr.. Clark. This was
a concession to avoid involvement OF the
other sections Of the legislation In o
threatened debate on the floor over wire
tapping. There Is thus no apparent rea-
. son why Congress should not act promptly
