cal language, it is called clean

might add, has revealed that

Mr.. Butler said:

The application of atomic

moving ahead steadily. And
although the rate of progress
appears to be slow to the gen.

ters know that 1t is actually
faster than had been pre-

The emphasis necessarily
placed on military aspects OF
atomic power has tended to

Up to this time, however.
there has been little attention
devoted to the immense i'm

productive aspects of its use.
Few industrialists doubt that
the growing availability OF
atomic power will be made
gradually without serious dis
locations in the economy. In

a hard time getting reelected

Socialist Labor candidates.
The Communists got very few
votes and elected nobody. The

idea they can make more
progress now as a minority
and can force the other wing
of the party to come to them.
Undoubtedly a struggle for
leadership has begun already

LONDON. May 80. - Eng
land has settled down to what
it hopes will be five years OF
stability and progress.
The general election, which
has given the Conservative
Party a comfortable majority
in Parliament. reflected a basic
desire for continuity. There
was no appreciable amount OF
protest against the party in
power, and the opposition
didn't offer anything attrac-
tive. So the people gave the
Conservative Party an IN
creased majority - something
that no party in power has
achieved in 80 years.
American political leaders
can derive a good deal Of guild
ance from a study OF the
British election results. For
it is a rare thing also in Amer
ica when a party in power in
creases it's strength in a sub
sequent presidential election.
What has been a virtual
deadlock between the two
major parties in Britain has
been broken. The ConServa-
tives actually polled nearly a
million more votes than the
Socialists did. Though the
total vote of the nation fell off
from 82.6 per cent in 1851 to
1852 per cent this time, the
Socialists suffered the heavier
defections. There was a def
mite switch in the voting
or rather a swing" as they
call it here. Donald McLaugh-
Ian, political commentator for

The reason former President
Truman declined Secretary OF
State Dulles invitation to at
tend the United Nations birth
day party in San Francisco
next month is that the invita-
ton seemed to him casual to
the point of insult.
Mr.. Dulles indicated that If
MI. Truman wanted to come
to San Francisco there would
be an extra seat for him. This
seat apparently was to be next
to the American delegation
and beside survivors among
the delegates he himself sent
to San Francisco 10 years ago.
No one can contend that
Mr.. Truman suffers from feel
ings of personal insecurity
which make him look for
Sights where none is intended.
He has now and has always

idency. He is also proud of his

1t would have been astonish-
ing had the Conservatives not
won the British elections last
Thursday.
In the political pattern of
Britain since the beginning OF
this century-and before that
no Labor Party eXisted-Labor
victories have been rare ex-
ceptions.
Governments during the first
four years of the century were
conservative. Then. from 1905
to 1918 the Liberal party,
under such outstanding men
as Sir H. Campbell-Banner-
man. Herbert Asquith. and
David Lloyd George, governed
Great Britain. During those
years there were five successive
Liberal governments, and three
coalition governments Uiberal-

The Conservatives won the
elections of 1922 and 1928, but
their second government fell
in a Labor vote of cenSure and
the first Labor government
lasted nine months. succeeded
IN 1928 and 1924 by the Con-
ServativeS.
There was again a govern
ment under Laborite Ramsay
Macdonald from 1929 to 1881
which was, in fact, a Labor
Liberal coalition, issolv ed
during the financial crisis OF
1881, when Mr.. Macdonald
formed a national government
with only four Labor members.
He was, as consequence, ex-
PEELED from the Labor Party
and formed the National
Labor Party. This coalition
government went to the coun-
try in 1881 and won, but the
voting strength was with the
Conservatives, and successive
victories of the national coali-
ton - l935-1940 - produced
Conservative Prime Ministers.
The election of 1945 brought
the first decisive Labor victory.
1850 brought Labor back, but
with hardly a working major
ity, and the next years elec-
ton called by Labor returned
the Conservatives, also with a
small working margin, greatly
enlarged by the returns last
Thursday.

this century, Britain has had

Labor Party has governed
Great Britain in this century
for only seven years, and this
despite the fact that it COM
mands practically the solid
trade union vote, and that the
decline of the Liberal Party
since it's heyday before 1918
brought recruits from its ranks
to the Labor Party.
But like all theological class
parties, the Labor Party in
clines to splinter between mod
crates and extremists. Ramsay
Macdonald was expelled for
being too conservative for the
rank and file, and Aneurin

radical.
Nor did the Labor Party in

But Labor rule also pro-
