BRITAIN NEVER ‘HEALTHY’ SINGE 1920 COLLAPSE Rolling in Wealth in 19th Century, Nation Now Is in Poverty. The collapse of British industry bat thrown more than 2.000.000 men Into Idleness, rinsed entire villages and forced the (orernment to snend millions to eare for the unemployed. - Followlnc Is the third of a series deallnc with post-war Britain. BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Aug. 28 —A robust nation, whose great fleet of ships carried home products into every land. Banks bulging with profits. Heavens blackened by smoke from giant plants. Happy workmen and happy homes. This, briefly, was the nineteenth century Great Britain. Today, thousands of ships are tied up, never again to sail the seven seas. Wisps of smoke come from factories operating only part-time and with small staffs. Thousands of unemployed wander aimlessly about the streets, drawing their weekly "dole,” losing the will to work even if it were available. In a park near Buckingham palace, where the king and queen reside, they lie sprawled on the grass, unmindful of a chilly wind, or occasional light shower. "Dole” Their Income Many have been "on the dole” for years, since they emerged from school as youths. Couples are married "on the dole” and drunks use it to pay fines in court. Several small villages, whose people depended upon the mines for a livelihood, have been evacuated, shops closed and houses razed. Along the Thames embankment pitiful hulks of manhood huddle together at night and face each new ddy with despair. They are not tramps. Some are well-educated, others trained craftsmen and some are ex-service men. Nearby bright lights gleam from the windows of an exclusive hotel. Limousines unload beautiful women, glittering with jewels, and wellgroomed men. But there purses are more slender than before the war and their spending less free. Five Big Industries Since 1920 Britain has not made sufficient industrial recovery to employ the whole of her increasing population. Unemployment lies principally in the five chief export industries: textile, coal, iron and steel, engineering, and shipbuilding, which bore the greater part of the burden of deflation which accompanied the return to a gold standard. The subsequent widening of the margin between the internal and external value of the pound sterling j at a time when competitors on the | continent were enjoying the benefits of inflation, intensified the seriousness of the problem confronting British industry. Collapse Was Inevitable Another difficulty lay in the Indebtedness a majority of the basic industrial firms wallowed in following the collapse of prices In 1920. They were overloaded with huge stocks of raw materials and were forced to seek asisstance from the banks. In addition, another burden was added from revaluation of 1 plants at boom prices and consequent overcapitalization. Thus, added to these existing problems came increased taxation of industry, the usuaj and wellknown conservativism of the Briton, the apparent apathy of industrialists toward rationalization?, and the inevitable collapse.

Where ‘fashion and Economy Meet 4 West Washington-Street

CHICAGO BIDS FOR G. 0. P.'S 1932 CONCLAVE Cleveland, However, Reported to Have Inside Track With Hoover. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.—The lures of air-cooling systems, seashore sands, and political advantages are being held before Republican and Democratic leaders bycities seeking next summer's national conventions. Promises of providing an artificially cooled atmosphere for the Republican deliberations are being made by Edward N. Hurley, Chicago manufacturer. It was learned today that Hurley soon will come here to enter a formal application for that city. Atlantic City, N. J., already has put in a bid, stressing its report facilities and seashore breezes. Philadelphia has extended a formal invitation to the Republicans. The Hoover leaders in the party, however, are understood to favor Cleveland, and they probably will be in control when the national committee “meets here in December to make the choice. The Democratic convention situation is more of an open contest. There is little talk of taking the convention back to the south. It was held in Houston, Tex., in 1928, and the chances that it will go below the Mason-Dixon line next year are considered slim. California considers its chance of landing the convention for San Francisco very good. The problem of expenses is a consideration, however, and there is considerable talk about Kansas City.
