The resolution suggested there
might be, as result, "a break
down in the moral fibre of our
citizens" and urged members of
the organization ito take a lead
ing part in combating this trend,
and to stand fast for high
morality in Government at all
leves."
The organization also took a
position favoring a limit on non-
military taxing, spending and
borrowing by the Government: re-
peal of rent control, a moratorium
on public housing, with ultimate
scrapping of the entire program;
and for higher interest rates on
FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed
homes.
I'VE oppose the entrance of the
Federal Government into the
mortgage loan field through the
vehicle of direct lending of the
taxpayers funds, and we recon-
mend that the Federal National
Mortgage Association be trans
Iferred from Government to private
ownership and control" the Or
Iganization said.
This transfer suggestion was
not spelled out further. A spokes-
man said the organizations
thoughts had not yet crystallized
on this point.

Royal Program for Generations
EIizobetFs Visit to U S. and Canada Is Part OF Policy
In Cementinq Relations Between America and Britain

Britons of the warm welcome
given British royalty in this
country. where monarchical
forms were cast of nearly two
centuries ago, it cannot but
produce.in the minds and hearts
of the British people an impress
sion of deep friendship. To see
the people Of the United States
honoring British royalty is to
give the British nation some
thing with which to refute the
charges of those critics inside
Britain who continually exag-
gerate criticism of Britain in
this country as a deep-seated
i-British sentiment. In real
ity it is more often the forth
right expression of opinion be-
tween friends who feel free to
talk to one another frankly.
It is unfortunate that the
Prince and Princess are not
making a Nationwide tour. For
while visits to Washington are
ceremonial and typify the at
titude of our Government to-
ward the visitors. the British
people would have seen a tre-
mendous outpouring Of Ameri-
cans if the Duke and Princess
Elizabeth had been able to make
a transcontinental trip. The

Constantine Brown:

The hearty welcome given by
Washington to the heir to the
British throne and her husband
was more than the usual DEM
onstration for royalty. 1t was a
demonstration for a new and
greatly increased collaboration
with Great Britain.
The British Socialist govern
ment did not take the trouble
to hide .its lack of love for the
United States, despite the fact
that this country had shown
itself more than generous
toward Great Britain. The left
wing group Of the Labor Party
headed by Aneurin Bevan was
openly anti-American, because
it believed that we were driving
toward a third world war. But
even the more conservative
members of the former cabinet
felt that they had to follow
Bevan's trends. apparently for
domestic political reasons.
During the electoral cam
paign a British cabinet officer
stated in Liverpool that he
shared the feelings Of many
Britishers in regard to Ameri-
cans, but he added I'VE have
to get along with them because
we need them now" Such
statements, regardless Of the
political motives which may
have prompted the vote-con-
scious Labor candidates, could
not but affect, If not the Ameri-
can people, at least many mem
bers of Congress who will have
to decide in the future what
further assistance this country
may extend to Britain.
The coming to power Of the
Tories headed by Winston
Churchill has changed this
situation. We know where we
stand with Churchill. His al
legged strong pro-Americanism
may be dictated exclusively by
his conviction that the two
countries must work hand in
hand. Or it may be due to
the realization that Britain's
chances of survival depend on
closely knit policies between
the two English-speaking ma
tions.
Churchill is fanatically Brit
ish and every one Of his moves
is prompted by what he thinks
is best for Britain. But at least
we know that he strongly be-
lieves that only the closest pos
sible collaboration between the

demeanor and their unaffected
simplicity. The current excur-
sion by Princess Elizabeth and
the Duke Of Edinburgh is
theoretically a result Of the trip
made by President Truman's
daughter Margaret to London
last summer, and it may be
surmised that the British.public-
relations department was quick
to seize upon the opportunity
for an exchange of courtesies.
The speeches delivered on such
occasions are always written
long in advance and they try
to suit the formality Of the oc-
casion. But it is the wide at
tention given in the press which
makes the trip of royalty worth
while in a public-relations sense.
Thus, for instance. at this
moment the plight of Great
Britain is a serious one. But
for the helping hand of the
United States after World War
II, there would have been a
disintegration of the British
economy and possibly a collapse
of other countries dependent on
commercial relations with Eng
land. BY sending the Prince and
Princess to visit America now.

wonderboy reputation to be
tarnished by such a showing.
With one frank statement he
showed that he knew how many
regulations have been going
down the drain in Washington
lately.
"I deem it necessary to pro-
tect myself by making drastic
changes involving future pol
icy, in order to correct certain
existing faults and weaknesses"
he said.
1t was an extraordinary per-
formance, considering that he
had appeared to take the crown
by favor from Mr.. Boyle's
hands. Had. he been elected
in a smashing assault on
prior committee management,
it would seem less drastic.
On the whole it was well re-
ceived. The Democrats have
seen so much timidity lately,
vigor and courage in any form
are exciting.
But there were some things
the new chairman did not do.
His new broom was directed in
this initial speech at his head

refer to the scandals that have
beset the administration gen.
orally and have involved some
members of the committee
which ratified his choice.
He ordered his staff to get out
of the influence racket. But he
did not address himself to the

ly what informed circles long

Truman administration has
been without rudder or purpose,
inefficient and Self-Serving.
Mr.. Mckinney calmly rent
the veil with a series of blunt
announcements about reforms

mittee organization. His most
striking statement was that las

Visits of royalty are not just
impromptu affairs that develop
out of a desire for travel or
sightseeing on the part OF
princes and princesses. They
are part and parcel of the So
called public-relations programs
that monarchical governments
have pursued for generations.
The heir to the British throne
would not have been making a
trip to the United States and
Canada at this time, especially
when her father is i'll, if it had
not been a part of a we'll
planned policy to assist in
cementing relations between
Canada and the home country
and between the United States
and Great Britain.
Sentimentally the American
people have always been glad to
see a Prince of Wales. The late
King Edward VII came to the
United States in 1860 when he
was the heir to the throne.
Subsequent visits by crown
princes have been a tradition
that has always aroused the
widest acclaim. For the Ameri-
can people have always felt a
deep curiosity about the royal
families of great empires.

and Queen of England to the
United States in 1889 was a

The British ruler keeps en-
tirely out of politics, which are
placed in the hands Of men
elected by the people. Because
of this divorce from politics
royalty in Britain commands
the complete respect and loyalty
of all its subjects" This was
demonstrated in the Commu-
mist drive after the Labor gov

There were no demonstrations

training to understand that in

lives their proud empire has
been falling apart under the
blows of ambitious aggressor
nations on the one hand and
rebellious subjects on the other.
But also in that same brief
period they have been able to

two countries can save Western
civilization. We did not have
that feeling with the Govern
ment of MIR, Attlee whose poll
cies and views were wavering.
Attlee and his group hoped to
avoid a Soviet aggression by
compromises. Churchill believes
that the best chance to main
tain peace Is by a show Of
strength. Attlee made British
rearmament dependent exclus-
lively on greatly increased as
sistance from the United States.
He intimated that unless this
was forthcoming. Britain's mil
itary efforts would continue to
lag, like those Of the rest of
Western Europe. Churchill is
determined to proceed with a
large rearmament program and
hopes America will help when it
becomes aware that Britain
does not have the means to
achieve this objective through
her own resources.
The austerity policy will con-
tinue in Britain in order to
permit the country to meet its
obligations to face the threat
from the east. The slogan Of
America and Britain is arm
ing for peace" And with Mr..
Churchill at the helm these
will not be mere empty words.
The British people can be made
once more conscious of their
role in world affairs. Their past
sluggishness was due to their
Labor governments lack Of en-
thusiasm. The former govern
ment was composed principally
of political theorists. The Tory
government is composed Of real
lists who look at the world Of
today as it Is and not as
it should be. Moreover, Mr..
Churchill cannot be accused Of
lacking immagination.

lance in a more understanding

Lowell MeHett::

What do a royal princess and
her consort think about on a
tour such as that which has
brought Princess Elizabeth and
her husband, the Duke, to
Washington? Of course, each
at times must think, "Oh, my
aching feet! Oh, my over
stuffed stomach! Oh, my weary
face. stiff from smiling!" And.
of course, each must think at
times. how funny people are
and, at other times, how nice!
And at times, how terrible the
croWdS-and how nice!
In these respects they would
think no differently from a
popular American President
and his wife on tour. Or some
of our Hollywood royalty
abroad.
Also they must be thinking.
II must watch my step. I must
be what the people expect me
to be. I can't let them down,
for that would let my country
down"
Which means they must be as
gracious as they know how to be,
as glamorous as nature permits
them to be and as simple and
human and unpretentious as
people would like them to be.
In short she must be a princess
and he a prince, right out of
the book; right out of all the
books that ever have been writ
ten about beautiful princesses
and handsome princes. Royalty
in our time has been going the
way of many other earthly insti-
tutions, but the illusion fingers
on in the minds and hearts of
the people, including the peo-
pie who have helped to speed
its going and would be firm
against its return.
OF all this our royal visitors
are compelled to be aware, since
it is very real. They cannot
escape, however, being aware of
another, grimmer reality and
that is the state affairs in the
realm they represent, the realm
over which she may soon be
called to preside, with him as
her helpmeet. Limited though
her constitutional authority will
be, her moral authority will be
great and equally so her respon-
sibility. The family into which
she was born accepts this re-
sponsibility and trains itself for
I it.
So when they aren't sight
seeing or receiving the curious
stares and the cheers of the
crowds or the cordial hand
shakes and awkward curtsies of
some selected citizens, what do
they think about?
