likewise badly off. also that Brit ain has made more heroic econom- ies than most.
 It also ignores the fundamental trouble with England and Western Europe generally, namely, that 1t is eating more than it is producing, that it has too high standard ot living for its wealth; and that it expects us to pension it off
 This is a crude way of putting it, but it might be cheaper in the long run for us to take over England, as a son takes an aged parent un- der his own roof.
 The British once were affluent because they were milking Asiatlc colonies. Millions of people in those colonies lived just above the starvation level, while the British Empire wore cfmine But with a social revolution in Asia, the Brit ish have to live on their own crowded island, with little help from the grown-up and ndepen- dent dominions.
 The same is true of the Dutch, also affluent at one time from milking Asia, but now in desperate straits; and, to a lesser extent, the French, who still have North Af- rica.
 Another basic fact ignored in the Western European situation is that you can't keep on increasing labor pay unless labor produces. And la bor costs are rising in England and France with no commensurate rise in production So we make up the difference by pumping Marshal Plan money into Europe every year.
 Result-Today American an Canadian manufactured goods car outsell British goods almost any place. Our labor produces more Oul liiClilOdo Ol hiailttioStuiN CIV more modern.
 Snyder's Remedy-Amiable John Snyder would remedy all this by devaluing the pound. This is only another way of reducing wages ano profits. When you can't compete with another country's goods, you have to cut costs by cutting bott wages and profits
 Politically, cutting wages is difti- cult. So, devaluing the pound ac- complishes the same thing les painfully without letting British la. Dor know it. In the end, of course British labor has to foot part of tn, bill. because the pound buys les and labor's income is reduced.
 This is why Sir Stafford Cripp is so opposed to devaluing th' pound.
 At best, devaluing the pound i only temporary stopgap The fun, damental trouble with England ant Western Europe remain. More per manent remedies for Britains des perate plight, therefore, will be dis cussed in future columns

 What will his superiors in the Kremlin say about that? Who knows?

 Chapter 2-British Loan: In 1946, Britain got a postwar S3,750,000, 900 loan from the LISA. This was offi- cially considered a loan, and state ments made by this column that # was actually a grant were denied However, it is now conceded that the loan is pretty much forgotten will never be repaid.
 One condition of the loan was that Britain would abandon her sterling dollar pool" This was an arrangement, necessary during the war, by which British colonies and dominions sent their dollars to London, and were then permitted to spend only such dollars as LOrdon dictated. In other words, all dol lar purchases in the British Empire were rationed by LonGcr. Aus- tralia, for instance, could not buy from the US.A. unless London so decreed.
 Chapter 3-The Marshall Plan: After abolishing the sterling dollar rocl for a short time as per agree ment. the British went back to it again in l947 This was shortly be- fore the Marshall Plan and at a time when the British once again were appealing for financial help If they got help. the British prom ised. they would again abolish the sterling dollar pool.
 Accordingly the Marshall plar was worked out, and under it Brit ain receives the largest grant of al countries. Adding up the Marshal Plan, the loan, anG other aid, tht United States has now poured al average of a billion dollars yea into Britain since the end Of tht war.

Striking a note of confidence Mi
chael Dederer chairman of this
years Community Chest campaign.
told 60 South Business section work.
ers at their Kickoff dinner last
Tuesday at Gyokko Ken that he
was certain this years goal Of
$l,738,375 for Seattle and King
County would be over-subscribed
Stating that this goal is the same
as last years but is at least 100000
over the amount collected in l943.
Dederer said there is every indica-
ton that the Seattle area will come
through with flying colors.
J. X. Adams, colonel of the
South Business section. sounded
the keynote for this area when he
announced that although the Com
munity Chest had set 5000 as the
quota for the section. ne knew his
group could raise $500. and
would not consider it's job done
until that amount had been pied
ged.
Adams embarrassing was in line
with the sections record for the
last two years In which it has been
the first area in the city over the
top each time. In 1947 the area col
lected 2479o of its assigned quota,
and In l948, with a goal that had
been tripled. the section raised 1897.
This years goal is approximately
the same as the 1913 figure
Solicitors will start canvassing the
district this week, and each will
wear large red feather with his
