A salesman's trips often took him
along a certain country road. At
one point on this road was rail-

salesman's claim on the ground
that he was equally to blame for
the accident. The judge said that he
had no right to take 1t for granted
that the track was abandoned, just
because 1t wasn't used very often.

the Judge, is notice Of danger"

The Personalities

Britons don't vote directly for
Prime Minister, but merely for
members of Parliament. Yet four
men loom large when the question,
Whose finger?" is asked. They are
Mr.. Attlee and Mr.. Churchill, re-
spectively heads of the Labor and
Conservative Parties and principal
candidates for occupancy of No.
10 Downing Street; Aneurin Bevan,
leader of the leftwing Socialists,
and Anthony Eden, Tory foreign
affairs expert and perennial brides
maid to Mr.. Churchill's role of
bride.
Winston Spencer Churchill, who
will be IT next month, is almost
too we'll known to need description.
An old Harrow and Sandhurst man,
he personifies the Johnny Bull type
of Englishman in millions of Amer
ican minds.
AS Prime Minister, the Conserva-
tive M. P. for Woodford, Essex,
Steered Britain through World War
II and brought her out, if not
whole, at least substantially in one
piece. An old Honor of the Empire
man, one of his most famous utter
ances is, II did not become the
Kings first minister in order to
preside over the liquidation of the
British Empire" Mr.. Churchill,
oddly enough, started his political
career as Liberal despite the fact
. that his aristocratic background
indicated leaning to Toryism.
Clement Richard AttIee, 68, is
the antithesis of Mr.. Churchill in
every way. Lean where Churchill
is fat, retiring where Churchill is
extroverted, man of thought
where his opponent is a man of
action, Mr.. Attlee went from right
to left politically while Mr.. Church.
i'll was going in the opposite direc-
ton. Small, bald and colorless, the
Labor member for WalthamstoW
Evening star., 1951-10-21

ing members Of the Labor govern
ment, is just about as Socialist as
they come. Yet he is millionaire
and an industrialist, with a pros
porous factory of his own.
On the other side of the fence is
the arch-conservative, attractive,
red-haired Miss Patricia Hornsby-
Smith, 81. She has been out on her
own since she was 16. Supporting
her mother from meager earnings
as secretary during the dark
depression days, Miss HornSby-
Smith should have been a push
over for left-wing Establishments.
Yet she is Mr.. Churchills right
hand woman-the one mentioned
above as representing the Conserva-
tive viewpoint in the radio battle
for Britain's women. =
Evening star., 1951-10-21
The Electorate

OF all the things the average
Briton is proud of-and there are
many-probably foremost are his
presumed ability to think for him
self and his demonstrated capacity
for speaking his mind. Although
he demands and receives strictly
honest stewardship from his elected
representatives and civil servants.
and in return holds these function
aries in high esteem, he looks on a
candidate as rising bird-fair
game to shoot at. Heckling, in
British political forums, Is not just
making; it is a combination
of science and art.
The candidate who goes before a
British political rally and mouths
the kind of platitudes that would
bring thunderous applause in Amer
lea, as often as not will be told to
Come off it, mate" and asked, do
you think we're mugs?" Conse-
quently, parliamentary candidates
not only must be on the qui vive
while campaigning, but must also
offer a bill of goods that will be
plausible as well as acceptable.
Stumping in Britain still is large
ly face-to-face matter. The gov
ernment-owned British Broadcast
ing Corp, which rules the air waves
in Britannia, has allotted for the
entire campaign just 4 hours and
20 minutes of time to political
speeches, impartially divided: Two
hours for Labor, for the Tories
and 20 minutes for the nearest
thing to third party, the Liberals.
The rest of the campaign will be
conducted in halls and on street
corners by individual candidates
and their supporters. Mr.. Attlee
himself will make SO speeches in
eight campaign days.
LiberoIs Wooed
Although the Liberal vote is small.
compared to the number of adher-
ents of the major parties, it is
sought after out of all proportion
to its size. The reason is that the
Liberals in many constituencies are
not backing candidates. Hence, in
these districts, the vote that nor
mally would 60 Liberal is a valuable
potential addition to the other par
ties totals. These more or less
disinterested Liberals, together with
adherents of other political creeds,
form what is known as the "foater"
Evening star., 1951-10-21
The Parliament

Any one who tries to understand
British politics by referring to the
American variety, is addressing
himself to a thankless task. There
is virtually no similarity between
the two governments beyond the
fact that both speak roughly the
same language.
England'S form of government Is,
in a way, more representative of
the people than our own. Crown,
peers and commons are the three
estates of the realm, and the execu-
tive branch, headed by the Prime
Minister, is simply an adjunct of
the legislative-not a separate
entity.
The King can summon and dis
miss Parliament, and must give
his assent to bills. But there are
limitations to his powers to give
and withhold assent and to order
Parllament In ana out.
The House of Lords, which with
few exceptions is made up of peers
and Anglican bishops, has little
power to originate legislation, and
power only to delay-but not to
veto or to shelve permanently-the
enactment of laws.
The Commons. 625 elected repre-
sentatives of the people, is by far
the most powerful segment of
Parliament. The lower house has
fought for its rights for nearly TOO
years, and guards jealousy it's con-
troll over money and supply bills.
Thus, Commons keeps the ulti-
mate power in the hands of the
peoples elected representatives.
With a few technical exceptions,
membership in Commons is open to
any one except peers and clergy
men.
The United Kingdom, being only
as big in area as Virginia and
North Carolina, has fewer sectional

remember the Bad Old Days under
the Tories before World War II.
It's the most natural, most pre-
dictable pattern in the world: Tell
the voters your plans in general
terms, but get specific about the
opposition. Both sides are using
another weapon, too-a weapon
that is dear to the. British voter
the snide crack. Whose finger is
on the trigger?" has that element
of snideness that appeals to the
Briton. So has the remark, often
repeated in England these days:
Things would never be like this
if Attlee were alive"
But security in an insecure world
is the big issue, and the ownership
of the trigger-finger is tremen-
doasly important.

vote-the unpledged fraction that
might go either way.
OF the floaters, the women Of
England are the largest group.
Many vote the way their husbands
tell them to, of course, but they are
less hidebound than their spouses,
who often are Tories or Socialists
by habit as much as by conviction.
The length to which the parties
will go to WOO women is exemplifled
by the fact that the Conservatives
have given a good share of their
two BIC hours to a woman candi-
date. In one English town, the
Labor Party complained to the gov
