The calamity that has
overtaken the British Labor
Party this fall shows the size
Of the problem that faces the
Western alliance as 1t begins
its second decade.
The calamity is still being
somberly analyzed by the
political experts here. And as
they examine the facts and
ponder the future, what
seemed at first to be a purely
domestic political problem
has taken on much broader
implications.
Today 1t is clear that what
happened at the Labor Party
conference at Scarborough
earlier this month involves
not only the future Of the
British Labor Party and its
leader, Hugh Gaitskell. It in
wolves also in a very real way
the, role that Britain will
play in the Western alliance
in the future and the survival
Of NATO itself.
The threat, quite simply. Is
that Britain's major opposi-
tion party may become for
mally dedicated to a policy
of neutrality and pacifism in
the cold war. II the policy
were adopted. 1t would mean
unilateral disarmament of
Britain, the dismantling of
American missile bases and
withdrawal from NATO. In
short, the complete reversal
Of everything that Britain
including the Labor Party
has stood for since the war.
Now It's Party Doctrine
This policy. which would
have been unthinkable in
Britain as recently as a year
ago, is in fact already official
doctrine of the British Labor
movement. Against the i'm
passioned pleas of the party
leaders, including Mr.. Gait
Skell, it was approved by a
mAjority of delegates to the
Scarborough conference, rep
resenting some SIS million
rank and file party members.
In theory at least, the deci-
sion is binding on the 259
Labor members of the House
Of Commons.
Mr.. Gaitskell, to be sure
has defied the theory. Backed
by a large majority of the
parliamentary party, he ha!
promised to fight and fight
and fight again" to get thu
decision reversed in the mex
conference. Meanwhile, HI
will continue to support
Britain's full participation Ii
NATO and its possession o.
the H-bomb.
Brave and sensible as i
may be. however, most of thu
experts here are not too hope
full that Mr.. Gaitskell will b,
able to carry out his promise
Getting a reversal of the reso'
luton means getting a re.
versal at the grasSrootS leve
Of the trade unions and loca
party organizations. 1t viii

hosts for a social occasion before the
business meeting. T h ey served the
chapter members refreshments and the
business of the day began propmtly al
1:3O P. M. The Chairman, Joe Fuller,
called the meeting to order and read
off the items on the agenda.
First in order was the announce
ment of the local school reCessing for
Christmas vacation Parents were asked
to call for their children and to return
them to school on time I h e teacher
complimented the parents for their fine
cooperation during the past year, espe-
cially for their promptness in returning
the children from vacation periods
She wished us all a Merry Christmas
and we all returned the greeting.
Secondly, we heard from our Graz
ing Committee member, Gilmore Gray
mountain who has been working stead
lily to get all the information and data
ready for processing the B NJ grain
cards. w e expected the Chairman OF
the Grazing Committee. H. T. Donald
to be present and 60 over the regula-

Tribal Park in the Monument Valley,
and the construction of 81 new Chapter
Houses.
MIR. Jones also | la d ID to plans
which had been launched by the Coun-
Gil for the construction of a new motel
at Window Rock, and for community
development elsewhere over the Reser
yation. He pointed out that the Tribal
staff is devoting much time to research:
looking toward the establishment of a
realistic program for the improvement
of housing for the Navajo people. Mr..
Jones stated that it was his hope that
Tribal officials would soon be in a pos
ition to present to the Navajo people
an opportunity to purchase attractive
homes in the $1,000 class, with low
down payment and monthly payments
ranging from $50 to $40 per month He
stated that he would like to see such
housing emphasized initially in the lar
ger communities such as Window Rock
Ft. Defiance, Chinle. Tuba City, Crown
Point Tohatchi and Shiprock, and he
hazarded the guess h a it might be
possible that 1000 N families
could be living in such improved homes
by this time next year. The Chairman
told the Council that the housing pro-
gram w ou d be emphasized as h e
Tribes majo effort in the year ahead.
The Chairman then gave the floor to
the General Superintendent. who open
ed his report to the Tribal Council Mr..
Landbloom told the Council that ten
Bureau school construction pro e cts
were completed during 1859. on the
