on Britain s dawdling economy Prime Minister Harold Macmillan’s government cut taxes and launched an impressive program to stimulate industry.

From an economic standpoint, the program has lived up to the hopes of its planners. Last week Britain’s industrial production index hit a new high, and UPl’s London financial editor, Harry Hobbs, reported Britain “still in the process of steady expansion.” , ... Heavy Communist purchases of grain have sent freight rates j (skyrocketing, and long-depress-ed shipping firms now are earning fat profits. Shipbuilding has- come to life

under the stimulus of government credit for new tonnage. Eases Credit The Bank of England has eased credit restrictions to permit close to a billion dollars in fresh money to be made available to industrial and individual borrowers. The stock market, which had hesitated as Conservative party leaders squabbled over the selection of a man to fill the prime minister’s post left vacant by the ailing Macmillan,

resumed its advance and closed out the week at a new high for the year. Exports were continuing their steady rise. A further sign of economic health was the fact the government permitted several million pounds sterling, to leave the country for investment in a new nylon plant in West Germany. This- was a direct reversal of previous policy. which had limited British industrial investment to the sterling area unless

it could be shown profits would start coming back within 18 months. Throughout the country, unemployment which had been a cause of mounting concern only six months ago, was declining steadily. All of this was good news for Britain, and under other circumstances the Conservatives logically might well expect some rewards from the voters. Trials Beset Party But the trials which have be-

set the Conservatives for many months, including a string oi losses in by-elections for seats in parliament, continue to plague them. President Charles de Gaulle’s brusque veto of British membership in the European Common Market dealt a heavy blow to the Macmillan government's prestige. The Profumo sex scandal and the attendant overtones of potential danger to national security further undermined confidence. Macmillan’s illness and the ensuing scramble for power within the party created a picture of disunity which bodes further ill for attempts to convince British voters that the Conservatives should remain in power. The reaction to the selection of tall, gaunt, 60-year-old Lord Home to become Macmillan’s successor had a familiar ring. Even among Conservatives it was that he was a nonentity, a pleasant fellow who could not stand up to the hurly burly of the prime minister's job. a man of no popular appeal. The same reaction had greeted his appointment as foreign minister in 1960. In that post, Lord Home fooled all but his admirers, who included Macmillan. As a negotiator with the Russians he proved tough and able. As a member of the British cabinet he has gained increasing respect. But if that job was tough, it was nothing compared to the one he has now. Migrants Poorest People In America By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International This could be the year when church people finally succeed in doing something for migrant farm workers. Hie migrants are America’s poorest people. There are about one million of them—men, women and children—who eke out a living by "following the crops.” With everyone working, including very young children, a migrant family may earn about SI,OOO a year. Many migrants live in squalid shack towns. They, are subject to exploitation by “crew leaders’ who serve as’ brokers of their labor. Their children get little schooling and grow up illiterate, unable to break out of the migrant way of life. They have very high disease and death rates. They are not covered by any of the federal labor laws, they are not represented by a union, and their political influence is nil. United In Appeal Relieving their desperate plight has been a concern of America's major religious bodies for 40 years. It is- one of the few public issues bn- which” Protestants, Catholics and Jews have consistently spoken with one voice. In the conviction that the migrants' problems can be solved only by federal 1 egislation, the major faiths have joined forces in what is referred to in Washington—usually with a patronizing smile—as “the church lobby.” Year after year, the church lobby has charged forth into legislative battle. Always, until now, it has gone down to ignominious defeat at the hands of the large and powerful farm lobby. A few weeks ago, the House of Representatives took up a bill, backed by the big farm interests, to extend for two years public law 78 — the so-called “bracero law” which Mexican farm workers are imported into this country to fill the same kind of jobs that domestic migrants seek. * Sends Congress Letters The migrant ministry of the National Council of Churches and the National Catholic Rural Life Conference sent letters to all members of Congress urging that Public Law 78 be allowed to expire on schedule at the end of the present year. They said the importation of braceros deprived domestic migrants of jobs, and drove down their already pitiable wages. - To the utter amazement of virtually everyone in Washington, the House rejected the two-year extension bill by a roll-call vote of 174 to 158. After the surprise vote, a prominent farm lobbyist stormed out of the Capitol and muttered to reporters: “Those damn do-gooders have put one over on us.” It was the first clean-cut victory the church lobby had ever won over the farm lobby, and it was a. heady experience. But as Fr. James Vizzard of the Catholic Rurat-.JL.ife Conference emphasized, “that was just one bat tie...we haven't won the war .yet by a long shot.” The farm lobby will try again before the congressional session is over—this time throwing its weight behind a one-year extension bill. The betting is that it will get through—unless the church lobby can generate a tremendous amount of public support.
