Great Britain
The Chancellor of the Exehee-
urr touched off a storm of criticism
when he divulged what the Govern-
ment was proposing to do in order
to bring about a still further re-
vival of British industry. Sir Staf-
ford Cripps' announcement told of
the setting up of a joint Anglo-
American Advisory Council for this
purpose, and spoke. of the possibil-
ity of bringing over United States
experts to teach the British more
modern methods of -industrial pro-
duction.
The proposed Council's capacity
will in all probability be entirely
advisory, and it seems entirely un-
likely that British Government pol-
icies—such as the nationalization
program—will be influenced in any
way by American suggestions. Still,
there, are plenty of British who
tee—or profess to see— this as the
thin edge of the wedge, and who
predict that in return for Marshall
Plan aid, the Americans will eventu-
ally try to overthrow . Socialism in
Britain and force a return to their
own beloved "free enterprise" sys-
tem.
But if he feels that American ad-
vice will help step-up production,
Sir. Stafford Cripps and most of the
other members of the -Cabinet are
likely to disregard such sugges-
tions, or any of the other harsh
things now being heard about his
proposal from all sides and frown
many classes.
For Cripps has consistently been
telling the British unions that if
they want improved conditions,
.they must pay for them by produc-
ing more goods and even union
leaders in the United, States con-
tend that workmen in Britain rely
too much on political action, and
not nearly enough on industrial
ability and output, in order to attain
their ends.
But in spite of Britain's present
deplorable economic position, there
are still far too many workmen
there who have been adamant in
refusing to accept up-to-date ideas
and to modernize their production
methods. Still haunting a large pro-
portion of factories and mines is
the ancient fear that labor-saving
machinery and equipment sooner
or later • means workmen looking
for jobs.
The Far East
Neutral observers in Japan and
China can see evidences that the
mien in the Kremlin who plan Rus-
sian global strategy are making
moves which may eventually result
in an entirely new balance of power
3n the Far East
This does not necessarily mean
that Russia intends to take up the
reins within the next couple of
years. The new Soviet industrial
empire in Siberia is still some dist-
ance from completion, although an
imposing start has already been
made in the development of light
and heavy industries in half a dozen
eastern Siberian areas. But those
who watched what the Russians did
in Manchuria during early 19.16,
and who sae the steadily developing
Soviet power in Korea this past
couple of years, are pretty well
agreed that the Kremlin's long-
range objective is to 'achieve a de-
cisive measure of control over Ja-
pan, China, and ultimately the whole
of southeast Asia.
This, 'of course, presents the un-
welcome and threatening 'prospect
of all"iron curtain" encompassing
the major portion of the Far East
region, in addition to the mac which
now obscures from western eyes
such a large area of Europe.
To those who can say that such
things are .nonsense, or "mere
speculation" and who maintain that
Russia has no great Asiatic designs,
it, might be well to point out some
historical facts. One of these is
that, ever since the days of the
Czars Russia has actively tried to
push its eastern boundaries farther
to the east and to the south. An-
other—that the leading opposition
to this Russian program has always
been the presence of a militarily
powerful Japan.
In 1pos' it was Japan that blocked
Russian efforts to penetrate Korea
and Manchuria. Again, in 1031, it
was fallen that forced Stalin to
"sell" his half interest in the
Chinese Eastern Railway and to
live up Russia's preferred interests
n the remainder of ganchurig.
Japan could do such things—
hen. But now Japan has collapsed
is a power in the Orient, and the
-;reatest barrier to Russian advane-
as is gone. And the indications
are clear that as soon as they
blink it is safe to make such a
move, the Soviet powers intend to'
'take over."
Just when this will take place it
would be rash even to try and pre-
dict. However; here is one fact
worth noting. If Russia's present
Five Year flan can be completed
successfully, her Siberian industrial
empire will be very close to the
point where it can match Japan's'
pre-war supremacy over Asia. That
will be—if nothing interferes—in
1052, four years from now.
Watch His Dustl—Young Bill kicks up a cloud of dust and gives his trainer, Johnny Simpson
aespeedy sulky ride during a trial workout at Good Time Park, Goshen, N.Y,, in preellaration
for the $60,000 Hambletonian classic to. be Weld there in mid-August. Owned by W. G. Ross
of. Charlotte, N. C., Young Bill is a son of Bill Gallon, 1941 Halnbletonian stake winner,
Some story book character—we
think it was one of Damon Run-
yon's—once told about the advice
his father had given .him as a lad.
From memory, it ran something
like this: "Son, as you travel
through life, some day you will
meet up with a guy who will pro-
- duce a bran -new deck of cards,
strip the wrapper off it, and then
offer to bet you he can make the
J c' of Spades pop up and spit
cider. And son, don't you bet him;
for if you do you'll wind up with no
money and an earful of cider!"
We couldn't help thinking of this
very sound advice while looking
over a newly -published volume en-
titled "Yellow Kid" Weil—being
the reasonably truthful confessions
of a man who "w fit through life
and amassed considerable wealth
by promoting suckers on what like-
wise appeared to be sure things,
but which later turned out to be
anything but that.
* * '4
The "Yellow Kid" intimates here
and there that he was the greatest
all "confiden e men," which is
the technical term for gentlemen
who beguile you into reposing your
entire confidence—and bankroll—
with them, and then prove to be
unworthy of the trust. Weil worked
many angles; bit possibly iris
greatest triumphs were along lines
of persuading various citizens to
• ger heavily on horses that were
supposed to have already won --
this beim accomplished through al-
leged connivance of a crooked race-
track telegraph operator, who would
hold back the results of a race long
F ough for the bet to be placed.
*
The victim in such cases, of
course, was supposed to be the
foolish bookmaker who took the
bet; and Weil, when he had a suf-
ficiently well-heeled fish on the
hook, would sometimes go to the
extent of setting up a fake book-
maker's er"ablishnlent,, or "store,"
complete with staff, odds -board,
telegraph ticker and supposed cus-
tomers. By the time the sucker
woke up to the fact that his "sure
thing" hadn't won at all, and that
he had been gypped, all these .would
have miraculously vanished, not to
• reappear until there was a fresh
vic"m, with fresh money, insight.
4• * *
Should you ever take the time to
glance through hlr. 'Weil's highly
interesting pages you will probably
he seized iri`h a feeling of amaze•
meat regar'ing what a vast number
there are in this world .of incredibly
simple-minded people—the sort who
will invest their hard-earned bank-
rolls on the word of comparative
strangers. Possibly the thought
may conte to you, "Well, at any
rate, it could never happen to ME,"
* *
Well, 'we can tip you off to an
easy and absolutely certain method
of finding out whether it could or
not, ' Just,/ask yourself this one
simple question, then give yourself
an honest answer. If You knew,
beyond the shadow of a doubt, that
a race was "fixed" for a certain ,
horse to win; would you—honestly
now—fall for the temptation to have
a little bet on it?....If the answer is
"Yes," then brother, watch your
step—for you're potential pickings
for the first confidence man, tout,
hustler or what - have - you who
pitches a sufficiently plausible tale.
9: :k *
However, don't worry too much
about it, as you have plenty of con-
pany. As one smart operator—not
the "Yellow Kid"—used to say,
"Everybody living has at least a
teeny mite of Iarceny in his heart—
and the more they have the softer
pushovers they are." He was the
gentleman who once convinced us
that his daughter's husband was one
of eight jockeys riding in a race,
who had made a secret pact to
"shoo" a certain horse in. As we
recall it the only reason for this
steed finishing up as sixth was that
two of the others fell down making
the stretch turn. -
4, 'k *
In baseball, one. of the season"s
features is the difficulty Bobby
Feller is having in getting by. There
are probably still a whole lot of
winning games in that right arm of
Itis, but the years have taken their
toll of it, just as they do of all
things human except the characters
in the soap operas.
* * V•
Even his unpopularity — which
he deliberately courted with his
high -hat methods—is turning out to
Feller's advantage. Where once the
customers jammed the ball parks to
see him blaze that fast one past the
batters, they now turn out in just
as big numbers hoping to see some-
body clout him off the mound with
a full -house homer.
t: e
All of which must cause Bobby to
crack, occasionally, in secret, one
of his infrequent smiles. For Feller,
in addition to a huge salary, gets
a percentage or bonus based on
how his club does at the cash regis-
ter—and Cleveland looks to be a
cinch to go over the 2,000,000 mark
in home attendance, and may even
break the New York Yankees'
record for a single season. And ever
since he started out Bob Feller has
gone on the principle, "Three cheers
may make snore noise than three
bucks, but they don't buy as many
steaks or groceries,"
You can blame women's after -
1100n teas on the Duchess of Bed-
ford who started the practice in
the early 19th century.

Management Should
Tell Labor More
In a recent speech the President
of the great General Foods Corpora
ation said some things which should
be of real interest to every employer
of labor -whether the employees
number two, ten or ten thousand.
His subject was how management
gets along with employees in these
restless tines, and about" how ef-
fectively or otherwise management
performs that all-important job.
He was of the opinion, he said,
that 35 million people in the United
States are still unconvinced about
the merits of our free -enterprise,
profit -and -loss system ; also that
only one worker in five gets any in-
formation at all about profits, wages
and his employer's financial con-
ditiokl.
When management docs make an
effort to talk things over frankly
and regularly with its employees,
he went on to say, there is too
often a tendency to use technical,
financial and economic language far
over many of the listeners' heads.
"We are neither noblemen nor
frock -coated fat cats. We are just
human beings, with worries and
problems like other human beings.
We make mistakes but our inten-
tions toward other people are
generally good. Management has left
open a wide hole through which its
adversaries are driving half truths
and falsehoods."
These are statements which are
just as applicable in Canada as in
the United States. The job of ex-
plaining itself to its workers, and
to the general public,is about as
vital a job as management faces to-
day. If workers fail to understand
the system which produces their
pay envelopes, and why it is the
most fruitful economic system yet
devised in the world, can anybody
justly blame some of diem if they
fall for' the false doctrines of crack-
pot Communists and "fellow -travel-
lers"? And a good portion of the
blame can be charged to manage-
ments which fail to do an effective
and persistent job of explaining
what makes the wheels go round.
