I The British man in the frayed
flannel suit has been in this sit
luation almost continually since
the beginning of World War II.
1T long years ago. There was a
Iletup in l953-54. but the hungry
consumer went ON such a buying
spree the country didn't have
lenough goods to export. Prices
went up: export earnings failed
ito pay for import purchases.
! AS this island can only earn a
high standard Of living by ex-
porting considerably more than
it imports and by keeping prices
stable, the government clamped
the lid on again.
/ Last summer that policy looked
like success. BY choking of
home consumption and by chan
melting money and labor into ex-
lport industries the proper ball
lance was virtually achieved and
lpriceS we're stabilized.
BY fall there was even some
fear Of deflation and hope by
consumers that they would be
permitted to buy some Of the
wonderful things Britain manu-
features for the world.
] Suez stopped that thinking.
And now the government says
the credit squeeze will stay for
the forseeable future.
Purchase Conditions
The Chancellor of the Elk
chequer has now told the public
it cannot buy more goods unless;
First. new factories are built,
old ones enlarged. Money for
these investments Will haze to be
squeezed out of the consumer.
4 Seconds. costs come down.
/ Third, exports are increased
particularly to America.
| Fourth, each individual and
each machine produces more
than before.
The oil shortage has not so
far seriously hurt British pro-
duction. Factories have found
that with careful economizing
they can get along on less oil
than before Suez. Imports OF oil
are now about SIS to 70 per cent
of normal. according TO the
Treasury.
! Only the automobile industry
has suffered shutdowns. With
gas rationing, people Just don't
buy new cars. The result is that
of the 10000 British workers who
are on a decentralization
day, $4,000 are IN the motor in
duStry.
Auto tycoons who have COM
plained to the government have
been told in effect, Go build a
better car and sell it abroad"
All this sounds quite hard
hearted, but most of the people
seem to understand the need for
sacrifice. They only hope the
day is not too far removed when
the country will be producing
enough goods so that they can be
permitted to buy some Of them.

the strip" and supervising COM
pliance with the armistice agree
ment.
Mr.. Pearson's speech amounts
to a major effort to break the
deadlock surrounding Israeli
withdrawal from GAIA. The
other problems involved in pull
ing out of the Gulf Of Aqaba area
now seem to present few diff
culties.
A British spokesman described
the Canadian speech as lin close
accord with our thinking" West
ern delegations had hoped that
their proposals might have taken
the form of a new resolution
backed by the United States. But
so far numerous discussions have
failed to win American backing
for the plan.
To a large extent, it meets
Israel's objections to withdraw
ing from GAIA. the principal
one being that Egypt must not
be permitted to resume hostile
raids against Israeli territory.
Mr.. Pearson, however, empha-
sized that he is not taking sides
in the current dispute. The Ca
nadians here have been slightly
embarrassed recently by kindly
references to their efforts by Is
raeli Prime Minister David Ben
Gurion.
Refers to Sanctions
The Canadian Foreign Minis
ter also referred indirectly to
the Arab-sponsored resolution
for imposing sanctions against
Israel for her failure to with
draw. He recalled the advice of
U. N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold warning against
measures that might introduce
new elements of conflict in the
already explosive Israel
picture.
The firm call for action on the
sanctions resolution was voiced
by the Jordanian delegate before
Mr.. Pearson spoke. Similar ar
guments are expected as the
debate continues this afternoon
The pressure behind the move,
however. seems to have eased of
very considerably over the week
end.
In making his recommended
tons on GAIA. Mr.. Pearson re-
Ipeated his conviction that Israeli
withdrawal from the area was
first in priority and essential to
all other steps" 1t made small
sense, he argued. for Israel to

Generally speaking the British
upper lip remains stiff. The con.
sumner complains but continue:

has volunteered on his behalf.
Life Is Rough
Life actually is rough here by
American standards. however
An American visiting the home
of an Englishman who has at
tanned the same level of
responsibility in an equivalent
line of work will be surprised al
what he sees. The rented home
and the furniture will be Older
and shabbier than the Ameri-
can would expect. The host
probably will be dressed in q
worn, out-of-style suit: his shirt
collar will be frayed and mended
His wife will be cooking on a
stove that will be at best a
charming antique.
II the American guest drives
a Ford or Dodge. his host will
have no car at all and not even
be contemplating buying one. II
the American is in the Buick
class. his host might have a tiny
stripped economy car.
Of course. some Englishmen
in the intellectual upper-middle
class take a positive Joy in being
uncomfortable and appearing
poor only because his govern
ment forces him to sacrifice.
Englishmen believe that. as a
rough rule of thumb, they earn
half as much money as an
American on an equivalent job
and pay twice the taxes. The
standard of living here tends to
bear that out. at least among
middle-income groups.
Stiff Curbs Imposed
And not only is income kept
down and taxes up. but these
other special controls on con.
Sumers are In effect:
In any credit buying, so per
cent must be paid down.
Banks and home loan organi-
cations are instructed by the
government to refuse loans to
individuals and to firms manu-
featuring domestic consumer
goods as often as possible. II
loans are made, interest must be
high and terms stiff.
Citizens are under heavy pres

Sales taxes on household goods
and tobacco have been boosted
to levels which would shock an

excise taxes go as high as 20 per
cent on some luxury" items

so per cent?
These and other restrictions
make up the credit squeeze

versation in Britain today than
