Britain Fights a Fever

Putting ceiling on proSperity-even
q prosperity that clearly shows some OF
the feverish flush of inflation-is neither
simple nor popular job. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that Britain's Laborites
have been quick to attack the Conserya-
tive government-andp particularly Chan
cellor of Exchequer Macmillan-for the
governments latest steps to curtail credit
and spending as part of program to
improve the United Kingdoms basic eco
nonic position. For Britains domestic
prosperity, reflected most dramatically In
high employment and unprecedented con-
sumner purchasing, has had the unfortu-
nate effect of hurting the country's bal
ance of trade position.
Britain must keep its export rate
high In order to finance essential imports.
But In the past twelve months exports
have failed by approximately SIS billion
to pay for goods bought abroad AS
result, gold and currency reserves have
dropped close to the 50 billion level--a
point generally considered unsafe for the
national economy. Full employment and
increasingly higher wages have created
q booming market within Britain for It's
own Notwithstanding the quantity for
export and even the incentive to find
export markets.
Raising the bank rate to 5Ka per cent,
the highest figure in Is years. is calcu-
lated to increase all interest rates on
borrowing. Less borrowing should mean
less spending of all kinds, and additional
curbs on installment purchasing are ex-
pected to have discouraging effect on
consumer buying. Reduction Of govern
ment spending is further step toward
slowing down the flow Of easy money.
AS Mr.. Macmillan told the House of
Commons, no postwar government has yet
fully blunted the imitation threat in
Britain. The effort now is a relatively
drastic one, coming only four months
after other unpopular restrictions. It
may take even more for Britain to win

Back to Burke

The meandering search for suitable
site for an auxiliary civilian airport in
the Washington area has ended right
where 1t began-at Burke, In nearby Vir-
GINA If this indicates that the search
ers have been going around In circles, to
the confusion of themselves and every
body else, that quite probably is the case.
No stacked-up airliner at congested Ma
tional Airport could describe more
complete circle than the one which has
brought congressional committee back
to Burke.
The airport-site hunt went far afield
before returning to the spot originally
picked by the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration and Congress as the best loca-
ton for Washington's second air terminal.
The Burke site was chosen several years
ago after a long survey of other possible
sites in Virginia and Maryland. Congress
appropriated nearly million dollars for
land buying and the Government &C
quired nearly 1000 acres in the Burke
area. But opposition from property
owners near Burke developed, with con-
current campaign by Maryland for desig-
nation of the partially used Friendship
Airport near Baltimore as washington's
auxiliary terminal The double -barreled
attack was enough to cause Congress to
halt the appropriation Of further funds
for the Burke project
Meanwhile the merry go round
search for an alternate site began. Add
ing to the bewilderment was an absurd
report by high-level administration
committee questioning the need for
second airport and suggesting that if one
really were needed. the District, Maryland
and Virginia should get together" and
build It. This was followed more recently
by a more realistic report from the Conn
merce Department proposing conversion
Of part of Andrews Air Force Base for
civilian use or, If that proved imprac-
ticable, resumption of the Burke project.
Testimony by Air Force representatives
before the Senate Commerce Committee
killed the Andrews plan. Thus, only
Burke remained for consideration, or,
rather, reconsideration.
So subcommittee report will recon-
mend not only revival of the Burke
airport program but an expedited con-
struction schedule, designed to cut the
estimated completion time from Ave to
two or three years. The recommendation
makes sense from every standpoint. For
1t would end the dangerous delay In re-
lieving traffic conditions at Gravelly
Point. and, at the same time, would make
good use of the Governments investment
in land at Burke. Moreover, 1t would
place Waslington's additional national
airport at the one location in the Metro
politan Area found to answer best the
special requirements of such terminal
We hope there will be no more aimless
wanderings in this vital airport matter.

Question of Good Faith

The justification for convention to
amend Virginia's constitution, and the
reason many people voted for it, was to
gain time for ultimate compliance with
the Supreme Courts school decision.
Most certainly, the 2-to-1 margin in favor
OF the convention was not mandate to
waste time.
Yet this is precisely what the reso-
luton offered by E. Blackburn Moore,
speaker of Virginia's House of Delegates,
seems designed to do.
The Moore resolution would simply
put the General Assembly on record as
favoring segregation in the public schools
during the 1861 term. Would this be
accepted by the courts as evidence OF
progress toward good-faith compliance
with the school decree? Would 1t afford
basis on which the authorities in Prince
Edward County could satisfactorily meet
the requirements of the judicial mandate
applicable there? Would 1t be keeping
faith with the people of Virginia, who
were urged by their representatives in the
Legislature to vote for the convention In
order that the other provisions of the
Gray Plan could speedily be put into
effect?
1t seems to us that the answer to all
of these questions is no. The thinking
behind the Moore resolution has never
been publicly expounded. Possibly there
are some good reasons for supporting the
resolution, and II so they should be stated.
Until this is done, however, 1t Is necessary
to look upon the resolution as a mere
delaying device, with no constructive end
In view
1t is to be hoped that 1t will be pos
sible at least to amend Mr.. Moore's reso-
luton to fix definite date for special
session OF the Legislature to enact the
essential phases Of the Gray Plan. If
this were to be done, Virginia might be
able to make satisfactory showing Of
good-faith progress toward compliance.
But 1t is difficult to see how such show
ing can possibly be made II the strategy
Is to be to stall, and then to stall some
more.

inteqroted Schools

In q recent speech In the
South. Senator Kefauver stated
that he knew Of nothing that
could be done "but to make
provisions to comply with the
Supreme Court decision" on
schools.
This is incorrect. The re-
turn to constitutional govern
ment could be effected In short
order by either of two methods:
dp3 Congress could impose a
direr on all future appropria-
ton bills prohibiting use Of
Federal funds in connection
with the enforcement OF the
courts illegal and unconstitu-
tional segregation decision; (2)
the executive branch. II con-
cerned with constitutional gov
eminent and with adherence
to its oath to uphold the Con-
stitution, could serve notice
that 1t will decline its assist
ance In this unlawful usurpa-
ton, and deny the use Of Fed
eral troops and law enforce
ment officers for It's effectua-
ton.

Here Is something that

Jones says not only vitamin

Jones has been using a small

It is a good thing the bulb
is not the sun, because II it

The lamp does not seem to
give the sense Of cheer Jones
finds in the sun.
Nor does this new bulb have
the cheering effect of the old

1928, and finally withdrawn a
few years ago. This old bulb

The newer bulb gives queer
values to certain colors, and
makes the human skin ex-
tremely yellow in the light.
The older bulb did not give
this effect. and possessed,
above all. the power to cheer
the human mind, just as the
real sunshine does.

There Is, of course, nothing
like real sunshine.
From now on, it win get
