One afternoon in Piccadilly 1
thought a newspaper from tui old
fellow. He waa ragged and hungry
looking. I asked him who he
thought would win if an election
were held now—the Commiinlats,
ihe Laboritee or Conaervativea.
He replied, “Communiam hasn’t
u chance here if the people can get
more food,” and continned with
this gem of wisdom, **A British
Communist is a hungry man out
of a Job, a Laborite la a working
man with a Job and a Conservative
is a man who has property and
money and'wants to keep it.”
While we were in Engiand. we
did not Just talk with the leaders
of the labor government. We made
it a point to get|the viewpoint of
leaders of the oppositioil Conserva
tive party, such as Churchill, Eden,
and I.,ady Aston. 'Then we inter
viewed laborers on the street and
workers in industry. The British
worker has a peculiar viewpoint.
He is Intensely patriotic, loves his
country, and unhesitatingly exer
cises bis democratic right of free
speech. He is, however,- deathly
afr^d of unemployment. There is
no hnemployment in Britain now
to amount to anything, but the
worker feels that a period of de
pression and dark days may come
when he will be out of a Job, The
workers seem to be* in a combine
to spread out existing work over
as many people as possible. The
result is that four men are doing,
what one man should do. On
every construction Job I saw, and
in industry too, the British worker
was taking his own good time.
They seemed to figure that thb
v/ork would last longer that way
and didn’t seem to realise that
speed and high production per man
was needed for the economic re
covery of their country.
The agricultural worker was tak
ing his time, too. In pre-war days,
Britain only produced about SO per
cent of Uye agtisoUaral products
’used in home consumption. She
bought the balance needed from
overseas with exchange produced
by industrial sales. Production on
the farm has been stepped up now
to 70 per cent of domestic needs,
but that is not enough because
Brltsin hasn’t sufficient dollar
exchange to purchase the other 30
per cent.
I should add here that another
reason why the average British
worker does not work harder and
produce more la lack of incentive.
He has money in his pocket but
there is little or nothing to buy
with it, so he spends it freely on
Rugby football games, the races
and other sports. On account of
the precarious position of the
pound sterling, he is not Inclined
to save as he was former!^.'
I visited London in the fall of
1844 before the end of the war
while the flying bomb attack was
on, and I can testify that civilian
life there now is more austere than
it was during my first visit. ’The
food is worse than it was then.
Only one egg per person per week
can be bought and few got them
then. Meat has almost disappear
ed from the . markets. Clothes
rationing is severe. Old clothee are
worn until they are threadbare.
There is no discrimination between
the rich and the poor in the mat
ter of obtaining the necessltios of
life. In most other countries of
Europe we visited, good food could
be bought on the black market if.
one had the money. Not so in
Great Britain. The same food is
served and the same restrlciions
are observed at the Savoy hotel as
in the pub in the alums tactically
everything is rationed by law and
the law is observed. In other words,
these people are really denying
and punishing themselves in an ef
fort to consume less and tell more
abroad.
The moat dynamic character I
met in London was Sly Stafford
Ciippa. He is now the minister
of Economic Affairs and acknowK
edged lo be one of the brainy men
of England. He speaks frankly and
nrutally if necessary. He told us
hat he hoped that Great Britain
could get further aid from the
United Statea, but if she did not,
fhe would fight her way out of her
trouble anyway. We asked him how
he planned to do It. He replied,
in the presence of a number of
newspaper reporters. "By taking it
(ut of the hides of the British peo
ple”—a pretty bold reply, I thought.

Seaator Maybank’s Btatemst:
''^eaae let me take thla oppor
tunity of commending the South
Farm Bureau and their leaders for
the exc^ent work they have done
for the agricnltnre of onr nation.
You have rendered 4 most valnable
service in enllghte^ng onr farm
ers mid assisting them, in so many
ways. •
“It is my sincere hope tkat'the
farmers of our state will Join the
South Car(riina Farm Bureau in
large numbers when your oampnign
is opened on November S.
"I know, as do the leaders of the
South Carolina Farm Bureau, that
we are going to have a long, hard,
tough fight in the months and
years ahead to maintain for the
farmers the gsins that have been
estebllshed and to further advance
agriculture' and the farmers of our
nation. It Is essential that we
march together in unity and for
this reason I again wish for you a
most successful membership drive.”
Senator Johnston’s Statement:
"We all recall .the famous fable
illustrating the fact that a bundle
of twigs is difficult to break, While
one twig standing alone can be
easily snapped. That is the cla
.llustratlon of the value of band
together for a common purpose.
“The fanner has too long been
unorganized. He has had to com'
pete alone and individually against
organized, coordinated forces.
Stubbornly, doggedly he has fought,
but against—in many instances—
overwhelming forces that were or
ChrNddg
gassed.
"Now, through the Farm Bureau,
the farmer has Joined with his fel
low farmers to improve his* lot. I
have watched with interest and
gratification the work of Che Farm
Bureau within our own state and
here in the nation’s capital.; The
Farm Bureau Federation is. a pow
erful voice that rings through the
halls of congress.
“Under the leadership of E Hugh
Agnew, the Farm Bureau has made
rapid progress in South Carolina.
It now numbers the outstanding
farmers of our state among its
members. I congratulate this great
organization and wish for it grow

Prime Minister Attlee id the slow
moving type but after you Jiave
seen him more than once, you be
gin to appreciate a certain strength
that you didn’t see at first. ’The
people, are generally confident of
his honesty but some doubt the
virility of his leaderahip.
Mr. Bevin, the foreign minister,
wgs plain spoken, too. We had been
informed that he would talk to
Molotov or anyone else with the
bark off, and he didn’t hesitate to
do so with us. He has a deep seat
ed convicition that the economic
recovery of Britain is necessary for
the welfare of the world. He seem
ed to feel that the United States
has unlimited resources and that
our economy will stand any outlay,
particularly when it concerns Eng
land. I admired the nerve of hie
frank suggestion that the United
States should distribute its reserve
gold among the other nations of
the world. I couldn’t help but re
member, though, that when the
Lritish Empire was a dominant
force in the world and the British
pound the moat honored medium
of exchange and the Bank of Eng
land bulged with reserves, she
never suggested distribution of
this gold but was, on the other
hand, a tough creditor requiring
good security and using her great
navy when neceaaary to collect
what was due her.
I left Great Britain with great
concern about her economic future
and S' measuro of admiration for
her leaders and for the man on
the street, nose of whom thought
of giving up in 4|e face of such
odds. To a man they aay, “We have
been in tough placet before and al
ways worked out and will d> so
again.”
More and more I realized how
vitally neceaaary la British-Ameri-
ran solidarity in forming a bulwark
against the tide of Communism;
for in no other countries of the
world does the same fierce love, of
ireedom bum.
But, as elsewhwe, I found In
Great Britain a lack of apprecia
tion of the part the United States
played In the recent war and the
sacrifices we bare made >for post
war recovery.
I ■ found, too, a certain resent
ment against the United States for
now occupying in the world the
dominant poattlon formerly occu
pied by the Mtish Empire. Maybe
we can charge that to selfishness
of nationa and peoples everjrwhere.
