crisis is one of exporting goods.
Germany and Japan, old rivals on
world trade routes before the war,
are moving in on the British mar
ket.
At time when the British are
just embarking on an expensive
rearmament program, British ex
porters find japanese textile ex-
porters who can produce goods
cheaper, than the British can in
Lancashire, moving rapidly into
the postwar British markets. They
see Jap machinery being sold in
South America, and many other
signs of the changing times. 1t is
mainly because of this renewed
Japanese production that Britain
wants increased Jap trade with
Red China, and wants to main
tain trade with China herself.
Germany too is fast reviving af-
ter the recent defeat. German goods
are steadily offering British ex-
porters serious competition. This
situation combined with initiation
higher prices, and little initiation
thus far in England, which means
lingering low prices, is posing a
major economics crisis. The British
must pay inflated, increased pric-
es for raw materials outside Eng
land, to manufacture goods from
while selling the goods at their still
low price ceilings The result is
an unfavorable trade balance, which
as everyone knows is the life and
death struggle of the British -
struggle they have been enduring
longer than any other people.
For France the crisis is just
as dangerous. In Indo-China the
French are pouring out billion
dollars year, which is tremend-
Gus item in that country's budget.
Losses sustained by the 40 million
Frenchmen in that war have equal
ed in number of those sustained by
the u. S. in Korea. Thus the rela-
tive cost is higher in manpower.
The Communists are strong in
France, though held down and their
continued insistence that the Indo-
China fighting be stopped is hav-
ing some effect.
In addition the French also are

ed and nearly blocked UN proceed
ings by opposing placing the ter
litory under UN trusteeship. So,
the Union of South Africa ignored
the UN resolution calling upon
states which administer trust ter
ritories to set up target dates by
which the territories will be grant
ed independence. Even though
the resolution passed the General
Assembly by SO votes to 8, with
IL dissertations, South Africa said
that it would take no part in any
vote to draft resolutions submit
ted by the trusteeship committee
on the territory of South West
Africa. To date, South Africa
stands nearly alone in its opinions
on UN business.
British delegates, however, back
ed up the Union in debate on
treatment of the colored popula-
ton in South West Africa.
British delegate, Sir Gladwyn
Jebb, said Britain considered the
trusteeship committee acted un-
constitutionally in inviting tribal
chiefs to come to the UN to state
their cases against the Union.
Britain, France and Belgium are
the main trusteeship nations. The
United States holds trusteeshir
only over a few scattered islands

The accepted school Ct thought
= that President Harry Truman
would not run again this year -
is being increasingly questioned
cheese days, and the opinion of
some newspapermen in Washington
is that the President would be
strongly tempted to make the race
again if he thought Ohio's Senator
Bob Taft was going to get the Re-
publican nomination. This is based
on clear piece of political stra-
tegy, which the Truman circle
thoroughly understand, and which
goes like this:
If General Dwight d. Eisenhow-
er gets the Republican nomina-
ton, he will be a hard man to
beat, but more than that, he will
certainly carry parts of the South
against the President Since the
Presidents entry into the political
race will mean a Southern split,
possibly more serious this year
than in 1913, the President can on
ly win in 1852 if he can win out
side the South. Against Eisenhow-
Ell his chances of doing this are
slim; the Democrats will need the
solid South to have a chance of
defeating Ike.
But against Taft, Mr. Truman
thinks he stands a good chance in
the rest of the country, outside the
South. If he could split the South,
carry half of it while Taft or a
third candidate carried half, he
would nullify its block-vote import
ance, and then the race would be
decided in the nom Southern states.
Mr.. Truman could probably come
close to splitting the South, and if
he could beat Taft in the rest of
the country, could be elected Presi-
dent for what would amount to a
third term Taft's campaign man
ayers are eager that Mr.. Truman
be the nominee against the Ohioan.
They would welcome q Truman
Taft race in 1862.
The final plans of the President
may hinge in great measure on
the outcome of the Republican
nomination campaign.
Despite some opinion to the con
trary, and although nineteen
months have elapsed since the Ko-
rean fighting began, the country
is still not mass producing a new
medium or heavy tank, and it looks
as if it will be year before it is.
The mediums which have been pro-
duced were built on old hulls, exist
ing at the outbreak of war in Ko-
rea. No heavies were remade, how
ever, and no new, modern mediums
or heavies have yet come into mass
production.
The T-41, Walker Bulldog, a
light tank, is now being mass pro-
duced.
