There was no answer. The
query was superfluous-Scott had
long answered it by his deed.
Jigger said pregnantly, Enjoy
the slow agony you knew Leigh
ton was experiencing
Scott's eyes fixed on Jigger,
widening slowly, as though sud
denly aware of something. An ex-
preston came into his face, and
Jigger had his second look at
the side of the man which fitted
the role he. had played. Now it
was obvious, well within belief.
This Scott was utterly the man of
his crimes.
Jigger said, When you called
Prescott a while ago, did you

Scott said slowly, Can / have

Jigger looked at him shrewdly.

then Jigger said, But you'll call

Scott nodded thankfully, reas-
suring him.
Jigger went to the door. At the
door he called out goodbye. Red
closed the door behind them.
Hurrying through the hall of

said. You're compounding a sui

Article IA of the proposed Uni
ted Nations covenant on human
rights gives the nations of the
world a chance tc commit them
selves to the principles of free
dom of information. Yet at the
same time it provides safeguards
against a ruthless press, such as
many foreign peoples imagine our
press to be. 1t says:
Article IL
OF the Proposed u. N. Covenant
on Human Rights.
1. Everyone shall have the right
to hold opinions without interfer-
ence.
2. Everyone shall have the right
to freedom of expression; this
right shall include freedom to
seek, receive and impart informa-
tion and ideas of all kinds, re-
gardless of frontiers, either orally,
in writing or in print, in the
form of art, or through any other
media of his choice.
3. The right to seek, receive
and impart information and ideas
carries with it special duties and
responsibilities and may therefore
be subject to certain penalties,
liabilities, and restrictions, but
these shall be such only as are
provided by law and are neces-
sary for the protection of nation
al security, public order, safety,
health or morals, or of the rights,
freedoms or regulations of others.
Debate whether the United
States should subscribe to this
document already has become bit
ter. Opponents say the last para
graph would give the president
or other governmental agencies
the right to restrict press free
dom in this country. They say
the Constitution makes treaties of
equal force with the Constitution
and that therefore this treaty
would abrogate the constitutional
guarantees of press freedom.
This line of reasoning seems
only slightly twisted, but even
when you untwist it you still can
fall back on the treaty itself. The
treaty does not say the treaty shall
abrogate local law. The treaty
guarantees the, power of local
law. 1t says press freedom shall
be restricted only by law And
our Constitution says we cannot
have any such law. So it still
looks as though we are protected
by the Constitution.
The significance of the eoven-
ant, if ii has any. lies In the fact
that you can make it mean any
thing you want ii to mean IL you
are a fine, upright, ingenious per-
son or nation ii means you sub
scribe to the principles of free
dom of information, with proper
safeguards.
But If you are a despot and be-
lieve In suppression, and the law
in your country is only your rub
ber stamp, then Article IA means
that the United Nations have
given you the green light to do
as you please.
But perhaps you are only one
of the millions Of the common

The World Today
THE BRITISH ELECTIONS
BY James NARROW

WASHINGTON -tPD- Britain
and any political group running
it may be in for bad time this
winter.
Living costs are rising. There
may be food and fuel shortages,
even though both are rationed
now. And labor is demanding
wage increases.
In the British elections of 1915
Clement Attlee's labor party
handed Winston Churchilfs con-
serYatives a whopping defeat.
The laborites came out Of those
elections with a majority of 200
seats in the House of Commons,
which has 625 members.
This was green light to the
labor government to go ahead
with its programs. With its big
majority, it was able to push
them through.
1t nationalized, or S0cialiZed, the
Bank of England, the coal indus
try, railroads and long-distance
trucking, the electric and gas SER
vice, all civil aviation, the cable
and wireless services. The govern
ment already owned radio. The
laborites started national health
program.
But Britain was still in tough
spot, trying to recover from the
war. Wartime food and clothing
rationing had to be continued.
The British government had to
get money from this country to
keep going.
To hold down food prices and
the cost of living, ii had to SUBJ
sidize farmers. The income tax in
the top brackets went up to 971a
per cent and the average middle
class Briton had to pay more thran
35 per cent of his income on tax
eS.
But with its big majority in
Commons the labor party stayed
in the saddle. Then came 1885,
five years after the previous elec-
tions.
ChurchilPs conservatives prom
ised to halt the march toward
more Specialization of industry but
indicated it would undo very lit
tie of the socializing already ac-
complished. And it wouldn't undo
the social welfare program, like
socialized medicine, at all.
The betting was that in the
elections of February, 1850, the
laborities would win again. And
they did. But by a startlingly
small majority, Today they have
a majority of only six among the
625 seats in Commons.
That's tight squeak for any
program Attlee's party wants to
put through, although it did ma
tionalize the steel industry after
the 1850 elections.
Attlee's own party has been
split a bit by opposition from
within the ranks. And, in addition
to its other problems of getting
back to normal, Britain, as a
member of the Atlantic Pact, has
to arm and produce arms, mean
ing more money the government
has to spend, more expenses.
All that, together with the
prospect of food and fuel short
ages and labor unrest, confronts
Attlee with a winter which may
be severe economically and polit-
ically. No matter what happens,
Britons will still have to keep
their belts frightened.
Since his administration still
has four years to run and since
he still has a majority of six
votes in Commons, Attlee might
have tried to sweat 1t out until
1855.
But far sooner than that he
might have found himself defeat
cd through a switch in votes on
a vital issue, And when that
