The Campaign Starts in Britain Matchless phrase-maker that he is, Winston Churchill sounded like the Winnie of old when he flayed the Labor Government last week, in a speech expounding the new platform of the Conservative Party. .. .. with his superb strategic sense of timing, there is no doubt that Churchill struck at an effective moment. Fresh irrits latest financial crisis, the British administration probably is at its lowest ebb yet in popularity. The Socialistic panaceas of Clement Attlee and his government have signally failed to rescue Great Britain from its economic doldrums. . Yet upon analyzing the Conservative leader's speech,
and the new platform of his party, doubt arises as to whether the Tories have yet hit upon' a formula sufficiently promising to return them to power or, if they are returned to power, to accomplish any more than Labor has been able to. Except that it was' far better said, Mr. Churchill's pronouncements read singularly like the Republican campaign speeches in this country, for the past dozen years. The Tory leader says his party will stop any. further socialization, but won't undo any that has already been instituted. It will continue state welfare services, but run them more efficiently than the Laborites do. ' The reason for retaining nationalization of coal mines, railroads, airlines, gas and electricity, Mr. Churchill says, is because it is impossible to thrust them back on their former owners "after their property has been commercially ruined." ' But the truth is that Under private ownership these industries, were run down, inefficient and mostly unprofitable except through the exploitation of workers. Most British in- : dustry remaining under private enterprise is uneconomically managed, with costs of production so high that British goods ; cannot compete in the world market.
British finaciers, both within and without the government, still think and act in terms of empire. They still act along tke lines of eartelization and exclusive trade deals and
We agree with Mr. Churchill that Britain needs to return "to a. system which will provide incentives for effort, self-denial, initiative and good housekeeping." But those in
centives must appeal to a far wider number of people than the-pld"Tor,jSystem provided. '.' ; : " ' - Britain seems badly to need a new crop of political and industrial leaders, young and progressive.. Vigorous and powerful though he is, Winston .Churchill is an old man, dwelling too much in the past. His heir apparent, Anthony Eden, is no longer a dashing youth. And all the most prominent fetders, of the Labor Party, too, are aging and wary, lacking in fire and imagination. ;, , - Perhaps the forthcoming campaign will bring out some - new blood in the two parties. Merrie England needs it.

England's monarchs and members
of the royal family, and went down to Windsor for a look at
Buckingham Palace.
Their literary knowledge spurred them on to see Haddon Hall (Duke of. Rutland's place), Shakespeare's country of Stratford and attend the Shakespearean Theatre where the old master himself cast his amphitheatre plays, Warrick Castle, and Ken-
ilworth Castle of Sir Walter
Scott's "Ivanhoe." .,..'.' .In Wales they visited Conway Castle built by King Edward I in 1283 for the birthplace of his son who was the first Prince of Wales. Since that early day the British throne has been claimed by a prince of Wales as the first heir apparent. ; There they also saw the oldest house in Wales which is well over 1000 years old. Up in Scotland they visited historical Edinburgh Castle, which was built as a supplement to David's Tower erected in 1367. Here, too, Mary, Queen of Scots, wrote her Immortal deeds of Britain's proud history. Here her Catholic religion was abolished as well as her life at the direction of Queen Elizabeth, her cousin, who had turned Protestant. . ( Their London tour also took them to the infamous New Gate Prison, which became a living tomb for London residents back
in the 17th century when unable to pay their debts. A friendly caretaker took them on a tour of the prison, showing them the sub-cellar cells and the upper courtrooms which were recently used in the trial of certain war criminals. Rudolph Hess was among those arraigned there. Drury Lane of "Forever Amber" fiction and the Muffin Man song was also visited. . In the old family cemetery lo
cated near the church of her childhood, Mrs. Taylor saw the graves of her ancestors which date back to the 17th century. In the church on the hill overlooking the countryside, she met and chatted with old friends whom she had not seen since early schooldays. . As a memento of her trip, Mrs. Taylor brought home with her several family heirlooms, one a salt cellar which is known to be more than 200 years old. This was of the day when English feasters dipped their knives into the cellar and sprinkled salt upon their slightly seasoned foods in thus manner. Although born in England, Mrs. Taylor truned a critical Ameri
can eye upon their stubborn refusal to accept progress in a rapidly changing world. They season their food, they build their cars,
they tend their cattle, in fact they do as much as possible in ex
actly the manner of their fore
fathers of centuries gone. American peanut butter, which the Wa
bash Valley ladies thought might delight them, was much too highly seasoned for their palates.
To her daughters, Mrs. Marjorie
Shroyer and Mrs. Jessica Gard,
both of Shelburn, Mrs. Taylor brought dainty cups and saucers of the Crown Darby ware made for Princess Elizabeth. . War damage in Coventry, London and the other cities was unbelievably frightful, said Mrs. Taylor. Upon coming home to Shelburn, she compared, the tornado damage was very much like the destruction seen there. , Her trip was blighted by the news of the tornado and anxiety to know how her family and friends had fared.
MISS WOODARD IN' CHICAGO Miss ' Betty Ruth Woodard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ancil
Woodard of R. R. 1, Fairbanks, went to Chicago recently where she accepted a position in the Accounting Department of the Savings and Loan League Business School.
