wJUr WASHINGTON — Over in England where the majority voted to accept socialism because they felt the “capitalistic experiment” had been a failure they are finding that you can’t vote yourself into a prosperity any more than you can vote yourself into morality Thera art still a lot of Britons who think they have been voted out of tha trying pan Into the fire Prime Minister Clement Attlee in a recent report to tha Labor party admitted that conversion Into socialist democracy was a long hard task longer than they had imagined "We ara angaged In a great venture" Attlea said "Wa ara trying to build up a great free socialist democracy" He warned that a society changed by u n d e m o c ratio methods is apt to lose the “habits of democracy” I suppose he meant by that that soto cialism had come by evolution which is an ancient axiom of the more consersocialists vative Communists say can come only by revolution AtUea also said that socialism was a way of life — not an economic That will b questlond by theory He added that some people a higher standard demanded of citizenship than does capitalism Borne people will quarrel with that too will say that It Isn’t Many that capitalism doesn't demand but higher standard of citizenship that capitalism (or any simply other known system tor that mat r) doesn’t always get It falls when It does Capitalism fall aot because there la anything wrong with free enterprise r competition but becauso sometime the standard of morality or standard of citizenship If yon will running the system bogs down Then freo enterprise la shackled The

general beThey make no differentiation tween large and small businesses la X X and studies their prognostications and they feel that the trend for all business now is up But listen to what the people surveyed by Kiplinger say: in food A Iowa: wholesaler “Bread sales are extremely high also flour sales are good and the of oats aale rolled Is good as people are filling up on these apparently to ’nutritious foods in preference more expensive items” A baker in Ohio: “We are selling fewer cakes and pies” Women are doing more sewing at home with clothing prices so high saKl: “The An Illinois businessman local high school decided to have The first a night school on sewing was 135 women” registration In Wisconsin: Young woman “I’m not the only working girl In this community who doesn't have the new look" “We planned Illinois farmwoman: to buy some new furniture but the I am making price Is too high slipcovers” Even electrical Items dreamed of by housewives as an necessity are not selling well Said an Iowa dealer: “The edge is definitely off on hard goods such as washers refrigerators stoves etc Prices too high” A salesman covering traveling the small towns finds the going “I cover New York state tough: and I am working twice as hard for half tha business” Many little aigns of hard times surwer reported by Kiplinger' Examples: vey A Texas housewife: "I am feeding tramps for the first time since before the war” A deacon: "Collections are off at our church” A loan company man: "More comloan small from borrowing panies A village cobbler: "My shoo repair bnslnesa la good” radios

and li forced to fight war that has been thrust willy nilly upon it Th Arabs simply brushed aside the Idea of a truce with the contention that they could not halt the shooting war until the stats of Israel is abandoned and the Jewish army demobilized There never was any question in the minds of Arab leaders about tha truce It was literalto them Their ly unacceptable position was stated definitively by Mahmoud the Egyptian premier Fahmy Nokrashy Pasha who said: “There never will be founded a state called Israel or any other as long as the creation ef name that state relies upon tha theft of Arab land th extermination of Its Arab owners and the sacrifice of moral principles of its Arab neigtW bors” - Nevertheless the -- Arab refusal to the U N was a bitter blow It had been orsecurity council ganized for the express purpose of resolving just such disputes as this one in Palestine yet It could do nothing more than make a weak gesture of placation There was little doubt that the security council had been rendered toothless and Impotent on the Palestine issue by the U S attitude or rather lack of attitude What position the United States would take as an individual nation with regard to the Palestine war was not clear either with Chaim At a conference Weizmatm Israel’s president President Truman promised that th U S would provide financial supform of a port for Israel in loan of about 100 million dollars Further he hinted at the possibility that unless the Arab states cease fire the U S might provide arms for the Jews howconference Day after th ever Mr
