ATTLEE’S GOVERNMENT-
WEAK WORLD POWER
WASHINGTON. — The limehouse
;slums representative in parliament
rules Britain and the Empire.
Its man, Clement Attlee, won con-
trol on a platform against free en-
terprise, and in fa-
vor of the govern-
ment taking over
fuel and power, in-
land transport, iron
and steel manufac-
turing and the Bank
of England. The
world effects of
Britain’s electoral
revolution are being
confusingly fore-
! Clement Attlee cast. Continuance
of the Churchill in-
ternational policies, for instance,
lhas been promised, yet the Attlee
labor party campaigned in favor of
closer collaboration with Russia
than Churchill could provide.
Similarly, the ensuing fear of the
Socialist program throughout the
world has prompted mollifying sug-
gestions that the program will be
long in enactment, if ever attained,
although strangely the sincerity of
its devotees is not questioned. From
such circumstances, anything but
confusion in forecasts would be dif-
ficult to find. To gauge accurately
the extent of the electoral revolu-
tion, it will be necessary to await
Attlee’s steps. Statements issued
iSince the election can safely be dis-
counted as inspired for political ef-
fect. Only in definite action can uiv
[certainty be dispelled.
My information suggests the
commonly published guesses are
more logical than sound. The
only justifiable conclusion yet
apparent is that Britain has
weakened herself as a world
, power. A more accurate way to
: put it is that she has publicly
proclaimed her existing weak*
ness. Her money was gravely
shocked by the war. Without
the Bretton Woods agreement it
might not now have its depreci-
ated stability. Her war effort
had to be materially sustained
largely from the outside (by
us, Canada and Australia), she
was able to sustain herself only
psychologically. Her navy, which
ruled the world for several gen-
erations, Is now a fraction of
ours (one-fifth to one-eighth,
whereas it was equal at the start
of the war). Her army is a
minor world entity as armies go
I in size and equipment these
4 days.
I British Foreign Trade.
Her foreign trade, which furnished
the only economic reason for her
world position, has
become a matter
for her gravest
postwar concern.
The Bretton Woods
agreement was de-
signed to help re-
store it, but we
have most of the
ships on the seas
and the manufactur-
ing capacity, while
Russia has great
raw materials and
Industrialambitions.
The election is likely to lead to
a further culmination of these too
glaring conditions. Mr. Churchill, as
a world figure, was able to main-
tain a facial front above them, to
cover them while he extemporized.
[This will be much more difficult for
Mr. Attlee, especially in view of his
program.
His platform, for instance, does
ipot advocate more coal production,
imore power, sounder money hr fi-
■ nance by the Bank of England, great-,
er or better iron and steel and in-
land transport. It proposes that his
labor party use the people’s money
to buy these enterprises and oper-
ate them, not to make them bigger
and better, but to give his party fol-
lowers a greater share of the profits
cf operation, in short, higher wages.
Most American officials ex-
pect Russia to fail on national
wealth. The common fears popu-
lar in this country, that Russia
will overrun Europe and Asia
and eventually relegate us to a
second - class power, are not
shared by many of our govern-
ment men in the know. They do
not believe Russia can get pro-
duction, although she is in a bet-
ter position to get it than a So-
cialist Britain, as she has the
; powe^^f compulsion over her
worke
Russia n^yer got enough produc
tion on anymung to compete with
anyone before\the war. Not until
Nazi invasion bright her unity did
her production Become satisfac-
tory, and even thei\her backward
mechanical methods prevented her
from getting the full measure of ef-
fort from her limitless m^power.
It was numbers, not mafllgrials,
which saved Russia, as any militSl^y
man will tell you.
The United States then occupies
the best position economically in
this new world of materia) produc-
tion as the only wealth.

though a person may be cured of com-
mon malaria they may have it come

appetite and nervous—though chills and
fever haven’t struck you yet, and you
have common malaria—it doesn’t pay to
take any chances. Try a bottle of Oxi-
dinc. Oxidine is made to combat malaria,
give you iron to help creation of red

Kidneys Must
Work Well-
For You To Feel Well
24 hours every day, 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter
waste matter from the blood.
If more people were aware of how th®
kidneys must constantly remove sur-
plus fluid, excess acids and other waste
matter that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of why th®
whole system is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina-
tion sometimes warns that something
is wrong. You may suffer nagging back-
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
pains, getting up at nights, swelling.
Why not try Doan’s Pills'? You will
be using a medicine recommended the
country over. Doan’s stimulate the func-
tion of the kidneys and help them to
flush out poisonous waste from the
blood. They contain nothing harmful.
Get Doan’s today. Use with confidence.
At all drug stores.
