British Politics

Great Britain was full of rumors
last week that the Conservatives
would soon move Gas is their privi-
lege) to hold general elections. The
time could hardly be more oppor-
tune.
Aneurin Bevan, leader of the left
wing in the badly-split Labor Party,
was being brought up for expulsion
after a severe break with Laborite
Leader Clement Attlee during parlia-
mentary debate on Britain's defense
policy. Mr.. Bevan has some so or so
MPs on his side, but they are not
being brought up for expulsion.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
twitted one Labor candidate in by
election by asking which group he
supported in the Labor Party.
There was talk. too, that Sir
Winston might soon resign and make
way for Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden.

as Defense Minister, continued in
Moscow last week.
On Friday the presidium OF the
Supreme Soviet named 10 generals
for promotion to marshal. At the
same time the air force chief, al
ready marshal, was raised to
chief marshal of the air force.
The military's rise comedies with
the decline Of the secret police,
whose power has been steadily dis
integrating since Lavrenti Beria
was purged.
Meanwhile, the new Kremlin team
was having another go at improving
farm output. 1t Is now being openly
admitted that there are food short
ages in the USSR. New incentives
for farmers to fill their quotas of
production were announced. There
was no apparent reason to expect,
however, that this new plan to in
crease the Soviet peasants initiative
would succeed any more than the
long line of other plans that have
failed In the last So years.
Cultural Exchanges
Cultural intercourse between the
United States and the Soviet Union,
which both nations say they believe
is desirable, has not been very sue
cessful in the past. Last week there
appeared to be slight relaxation of
the tight controls on such exchanges.
The United States agreed to ad-
NIT II Soviet student editors into the
country, after months of hemming
and having. American students al
ready have been allowed to tour the
Soviet Union.
The Kremlin also inquired Off
cially if the United States would
consider an exchange of agricultural
delegations. The idea originated
with an Iowa paper. which suggested
that the Communists kolkhosniki
might benefit from studying the
Midwest's corn-fed hogs and how
they grow.
There was some sentiment in this
country that the Federal Govern
ment should approve the idea with
alacrity, instead of repeating the
indecisive show on the Soviet stu
dent editors.
Consistency being the hobgoblin
OF little minds, there was another
swap of explosions in the news last
week.
The United States seems to have
provoked this latest exhibition of
pettiness on both sides of the Iron
Curtain. Washington recently re-
fused Metropolitan Boris of the Rus
sian Orthodox Church when he re-
quested an extension of his visa to
remain in the United States.
In reprisal, the Kremlin ordered
Father Georges Bissonnette, a Ro-
man Catholic priest, out of Moscow.
He was the only American clergy
men serving the United States COL
ony in the Soviet capital Father
Bissonnette came out full of conf
dence that the Soviet peoples still
retain their faith in God.

stock prices-averaging higher than
those of '29-could be the danger
signal of new crash. And each of
his witnesses was q man who had
been shaken badly by the great
depression and didn't want it to
happen again.
Two basic questions were dis
cussed by Senators and witnesses
last week:
Q Are stock market prices too high
today?
. What should be done to avoid
another 1929?
On the first question there was
agreement that's another depression
was not just around the corner, but
that this was no time for complac-
ency. There was wide disagreement
over the nature of prophylactic
measures necessary to avoid future
trouble.
Views on Market
Here we're some Of the views on
the present market:
James E. Day, president of the
Midwest Stock Exchange, saw no
danger in the foreseeable future.
Composite stock price indexes are
misleading. he said A close study
of prices shows that industrials are
far above 1929 levels, but that rails
and utilities. are equally far below.
And even among industrials, he said,
very few" stocks are too high on
the basis of book value, earnings per
share and yield.
John Kenneth GGlbrdith, profess
sor of economics at Harvard, was
worried. He did not say that stocks
were now too high, but he said
there were signs of 1929-type specu-
lative hysteria. 1T would be an
exaggeration to say that there has

About A-Bombs

Mr.. Dulles bluntly threatened the
Red Chinese with atomic attack
on a tactical scale.
1.-THE United States has sea
and air forces now equipped with
new and powerful weapons Of pre-
cision. which can utterly destroy
military targets without endanger-
ing unrelated civilian centers," he
warned.
Military men explained that one
precisely tailored atom bomb on
each airfield in the Matsu and Que
moy areas could cripple the Red
Chinese air cover, without which
the offshore islands could not be
taken.
And what if Chou En-lai draws
out few atom bombs from Soviet
Russia's lending library? American
officials don't think Marshal Bulga-
min would honor Chou's card. But
even if he would. they say we can
at least double whatever the Chi
nese can scrape up.
Military Targets Only?
Would atom strikes then be con-
fined to military targets? That de-
ponds on the Chinese.
Would Soviet Russia come in on
Red China's side? All the best in
telligence estimates at the United
States disposal believe she would
not.
Implicit in Mr.. Dulles threat to
use atomic weapons in Red China
is the Judgment that nuclear war
can be limited, at least in the sit
uation that pertains opposite For
mosa. There has been a difference
of opinion within our own military
establishment, and in other friendly
countries, on this point.
1t seemed probable that in any
war where nuclear weapons might
have to be used extensively, the
United States might try to pay more
attention to protecting civilian pop
ulations than at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.

lusion."
Winthrop Hiram SMITH. manager

house. said he did not have any
idea whether the market as a whole
is too high or too low or whether it
is going up or going down-and he
was sure no one else knew either.
The best he could do, he said, was
to point out specific stocks which
were too high or low.
Mariner S. Eccles, chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board under
Presidents Roosevelt and Truman,
said there were soft spots in the
economy. He pointed out the
paradox" of booming stock
market and booming construction
juxtaposed with million unem-
ployed and under production in
many fields.
Future Course
What should be done to avoid
another crash? No witness recon-
mended drastic changes in the
Governments attitude toward the
stock market, but several did
urge tightening of existing controls.

"double-standard" of regulations of

The United States was reported
to have moved atomic weapons to
secret storage places on Formosa.
And Mr.. Dulles put the Red Chinese
on notice we would use these weap-
ons II necessary to help Chang Kali
shek hold the big island.
Peiping, meanwhile, continued to
move artillery and the latest Rus
sian-made Jet aircraft into coastal
areas opposite Quemoy and Matsu
Islands.
Mr.. Dulles gave the country and
the world a solemn reappraisal of
the situation last Tuesday. on his
return from a two-week tour of the
troubled Far East. What he said
was widely discussed, not only In
Washington but In other world
capitals.
