ASSIGNMENT TO AUSTERITY

BY Herbert and Nancie Matthew
Despite it's sprightly title, "As-
signment to Austerity" is basically
a sober, dignifled. dispassionate.
occasionally ponderous analysis of
life in Britain today. The dis
tinguished New York Times cor
respondent has done a thorough
job of weighing the economic and
political aspects Of the Socialist
regime; his British-born wife has
contributed chapters on the diff
culties of the daily struggle for
food, and while both of them keep
an extremely stiff upper lip. it is
easy to see that their five years
in London were not much fun.
Mr.. Matthews extremely de-
tailed accounts of the financial
crises which have plagued the
planners of the brave new world
will doubtless be Of great value to
historians. although they are bit
specialized for the ordinary read
er. Mr.. Matthews scrupulously
objective findings seem to agree
with Churchill's biting summary
that "the inherent virtue of So
cialism is the equal sharing of
miSeries."
The working man, a member of
Britain's. new privileged class,
would rather work for leisure than
for overtime, which leaves the
problem of production unsolved.
Mr.. Matthews stresses that ma
tionalization of major industries
has made no radical difference to
the worker. It is the middle class.
