Attlee Says More
Wartime Controls | Parliament:
Are Coming
LONDON, Jan. 30.
PRIME MINISTER ATTLEE told the House of
Commons today that Britain will have to bring
back many wartime controls to carry out her new
£4,700,000,000 arms programme. The Prime Minis-
ter meant to say this yesterday in his statement on
the new defence drive but accidentally skipped over
it while reading his speech.
Among controls likely are:
Compulsory direction of labour from civil work to arms
factories.
Control of engagements—meaning that workers will not be
allowed to quit their jobs without permission from the Min-
istry of Labour. ’
Dilution of Labour—allowing outsiders to enter skilled in-
dustries, particularly engineering.

Two Deputies
Resign From
ROME, Jan. 30.
Two prominent Italian Com-
munist deputies who resigned from
the Party last Friday were today
understood to have tendered their
resignations from Parliament to
the President of the Lower House.
Their letter to the President was
believed to contain these two main
reasons for their resignations:
1. That TItaly’s Communist
leaders have sapped the revolu-
tionary spirit of the masses by
making them believe that a Rus-
sian invasion is their only hope
of achieving communist society,
2. That the Italian Communist
Party is eubordinated to Moscow
whe interests do not always co-
incide with Italy’s.
Simultaneously the Communist
Party's National headquarters in
Rome after a hasty series of secret
meetings condemned the deputies
in a communique entitled “Two
Traitorsâ€.
The Communist executive said
they were “renegades without
principles; enemies of the working
class and of the Communist Party,
and instruments of the enemies of
Communism and of the Soviet
Union.†4
Palmiro Togliatti, Italian Com-
munist Party’s 58-year-old leader
was reported to be returning from
Moscow soon to face the danger
that the resignation of the two
deputies may provoke a big with-
drawal from the Party.

Adenauer Will
Bring On War
Says Grotewohl
BERLIN, Jan, 30,
East German Premier Otto
Grotewohl in a broadcast over all
Soviet Zone stations to-day re-
affirmed his vow to work for All-+
German unity,
Addressing a specially convened
session of the East German Parlia-
ment, he said that the recent
rejection by West German Chan-
cellor Konrad Adenauer, of East
yerman unity proposals was not
a true expression of the will of
West Germany.
Speaking in a brilliantly lit and
cream coloured chamber which
was draped with the flags of all
nations Grotewohl said:
“Despite Adenauer's rejection,
All-German talks are already
going onâ€.
Grotewohl charged that Aden-
auer by placing American interests
above those of his own country
was steering West Germanty
‘straight into a new war’.
“All-German unity cannot be
bievented—Adenauer is isolated
aid he knows he cannot stop the
lorce of public opinion, The core
of the problem is West German
remilitarisation, but a German
civil war can be averted if an All-
German council is formed. The
split of Germany leads to remili-
tarisation and war, while an All-
German council could only lead
tc peace and progress,
“We do not want to quarrel
with West Germany, we want te
negotiate, We want to let bygones
be bygones. We do not ‘want to
quarrel about the past.’’ Grote
wohl said.

Pleven said neutralists would
disappear “into thin air†when the
French army, rebuilt and strong,
stood besides her allies “ready for
the first battle should aggression
occur,â€
_ “France is your ally and not
just a fair weather friend,†he
said.
Pleven said that the coming
general elections in France would
produce a larger and_ stronger
majority “to back our policy of
national independence, of hard
work for social*security and social
progress,â€
After reviewing the war in
Indo-China and the costs in money
and in dead which this meant to
the French people, Pleven said.
“we hope we can lighten this bur-
den and employ our ‘strength to
greater effect in western Europe
which is for all of us the main
front.
But this will be possible only
when peace has come to Asia, and
when the peoples of Indo-China
are able to assure their own secur-
ity against Communist forces
Pleven reminded newspapermen
that economic action in defence of
the free world was necessary, as
well as military action, and that a
common effort should be organised
‘in such a way that our economies
will not be dislocated by changes
and sacrifices involved in’ rapid

William L. Laurence of the

wartime development of the
atomic fission bomb, said in a
recently published book that the

that there is only a _ remote
possibility that the H-bomb can

ROME, Jan. 30.
Two prominent Italian Com-
munist deputies who resigned from
the Party last Friday were today
understood to have tendered their
resignations from Parliament to
the President of the Lower House.
Their letter to the President was
believed to contain these two main
reasons for their resignations:
1. That Italy’s Communist
leaders have sapped the revolu-
tionary spirit of the masses by
making them believe that a Rus-
sian invasion is their only hope
of achieving communist society.»
2. That the Italian Cummunist
Party is subordinated to Moscow
whose interests do not always co-
incide with Italy's.
Simultaneously the Communist
Party’s National headquarters in
Rome after a hasty series of secret
meetings condemned the deputies
in a communique entitled “Two
Traitorsâ€.
The Communist executive said
they. were “renegades without
principles; enemies of the working
class and of the Communist Party,
and instruments of the enemies of
Communism and of the Soviet
Union.†i
Palmiro Togliatti, Italian Com-
munist Party’s 58-year-old leader
was reported to be returning from
Moscow soon to face the danger
that the resignation of the two
deputies may provoke a big with-
drawal from the Party.

Mr. Cuke said that the Vestry

there was a minority present the

Less Fire: More Sugar
| THE 1951 reaping season began about
the middle of this month and already a
number of cane fires have occurred. These,
whether by accident or design, are not in
the interest of this island, and every effort
should be made to lessen their frequency.
| It is the good fortune of Barbados to
have in 1951 a record crop estimated at
about 175,000 tons of sugar, to be sold in’a
guaranteed market and at the highest price
ever to be paid for local sugar. The price
paid for Barbadian sugar benefits directly
the sugar workers in field and factory and
indirectly almost everyqne else in the
community.
The loss of canes by fire directly reduces,
in the first place, the amount of labour so
that those engaged in this part of the in-
dustry are short of work; in the second
place there is less sugar to be manufac-
tured, less work for the factory hands, less
sugar to be exported and so less work for
the waterfront worker, and eventually
less revenue from which the Labour Wel-
fare Fund gets its cess for housing. In-
directly less sugar means less turn over in
all kinds of business, and less opportunities
for employment for ail.
| It is not to be presumed because of any
appeal for less cane fires that they are
intentionally set or even if they are that
it is the work of any particular section of
the community. Whatever the reason, it
must be admitted that cane fires are not in
the interest of the island and by the same
token it is therefore the duty of every mem-
ber of the community by whatever means
to reduce the incidence.
A few years ago a dispute over labour-
ers’ wages brought about an industrial dis-
pute and some people were sufficiently ill-
advised to wreak vengeance on the cane
crop. When conditions had again reached
normalcy and an estimate was arrived at,
Barbados had lost about £ 400,000, or a sum
pf nearly two million dollars.
' The lesson should have been learnt by
now.
It may be that in the majority of the
present instances careless discard of cigar-
ette ends or other burning material has
been the cause; but if the loss of a million
dollars is occasioned by accident or by de-
sign, it is nevertheless a loss.
| With the crying need for education and
the necessity for improvement of the
standard of living, Barbados with approx-
imately 200,000 people to be supported
mainly from the revenue of the sugar crop
cannot afford to lose one cent either by
criminality or by carelessness. And _ it
shows an utter and reckless disregard of
the blessings of Providence to destroy a
record crop when it is needed to support
‘the improved standards of living in this
island. It can be remedied through the
co-operation of every member of society.
New Map
A NEW and up-to-date Road Map has
been prepared by the Barbados Publicity
Committee and is on sale at stationers in
Bridgetown. This is another effort to
make the visit of tourists as pleasant and
interesting as possible. But motoring has
ceased to be a luxury and is now part of the
everyday life of people who make their
living in various ways and so the road
map is also useful to the resident.
‘“The map serves an educational purpose
as well by teaching the island’s geography
to many who know little or nothing about
it.
To the visitor who desires a better know-
ledge of Barbados and wants to visit as
many places as possible during his stay,
the Road Map isa handy companion. The
highways are clearly defined and places
of interest are well marked.
| This new map is an improvement on
that published years ago.
|
In 1910—14, when Lenin’s ideas
on imperialism were ripening, a
Significant feature of the global
picture was the final partition ot
all available areas among the
colonial powers, “The characteris--
tic feature of this period,†Lenin
said, “is final partition of the
(globe....the completed seizure of
the unoccupied territories on our
planet. For the first time the
world is completely divided up,
so that in the future only re-
division is possible; territories can
only pass from one ‘owner’ lu
another....†“We are passing
through a peculiar period of world
colonial policy, which is, closely
associated with the ‘latest stage
in the development of capitalism’ â€
The paftition of the world hed
reached its limits, Lenin thought;
after sixty years of “grabbing and
partitioning†nothing was left for
further partitions, What next?
Would the capitalist nations be
able to exist without expanding
Lenin believed
their empires? 1
they could not get along without
great colonies; that capitalism
would begin to “decay†if it dic
not have far-flung possessions
Previously, Lenin argued, colonies,
semi-colonies, and dependencies
had been pee agg ae ma are ol
poses of trate; by min’s time
they were sought chiefly as a field
for capital investments of the
mother country. Hence, Lenin
thought, capitalism must remain
aggressive and imperialistic, In-
vestment of capital in a weak
country would tend to deprive that
country of political independence
—to “enslave†it. Now that the
globe had been divided, capitalist
economy must begin to suffocate,
with the result that a global social
revolution was to be expected in
the foreseeable future.
The theory was clear, simple,
and wéll-rounded, and made a
strong appeal to popular emotions,
It therefore played a tremendous
role after the first World War,
with Lenin's growing Interna-
tional accepting it as gospel. Even
at that time, thirty years ago, the
theory was faulty, and a critical
mind could easily discover the
fallibility of each of its tenets.
Most strong popular movements
of history have been guided by
such erroneous, primitive, but
exciting ideas and emotions.
Events of the last decade, how-
ever, indicate a collapse of this
concept of imperialism, A world
that was “divided up†and in
which: colonies and dependencies
could be acquired only in wars—
“imperialist warsâ€â€”has witnessed
a rebirth of nations recently de-
pendent on great powers, the
world of “possessions†has shrunk
and is shrinking further. Britain
has lost India, Burma, Palestine,
Egypt; the Netherlands have lost
Indonesia; France has lost Syria
and Lebanon; Japan has lost
Korea, Formosa, and Manchuria;
Italy is losing at least Libia and
Abyssinia; the United States has
relinquished her rights to the
Philippines, The British domin-
ions, formerly colonies, have
attained such a degree of inde-
pendence that they cannot longer
be counted as “possessions†of the
crown or as exploited ‘nations.
The powers have lost 11.5 mil-
lion square miles of possessions
and 561 millions of population.
Asia; formerly a theatre of great-
power rivalry and colonial wars,
has practically become independ-
ent of its former masters; among
its 1,200 million inhabitants only
55 million still live in colonies
and dependencies of the Western
powers. Africa remains the last
domain of imperialism; but its
population is less than five per-
cent of the world’s total.
The picture is precisely the
opposite of Lenin’s “blind alley.â€
As far as investment of capital
abroad is concerned, events have
again proved that such economic
activity does not necessarily mean
political enslavement: in India
and Indonesia, for instance, Brit-
ish and Dutch investments have
continued while British and Dutch
colonial administrations have had
to quit. If today the Leninist
world were free to think, criticize,
and revise, this tenet of its philo-
sophy would be recognized as
obsolete.
But the Soviet Union has more
pressing problems than that of
fitting its empire-building to aa
outmoded philosophy of imperial
economies, for it has had to de-
velop—and develop quickly—-
practical ways of carrying on the
economic activities of its new
empire,
During the postwar period the
Ministry of Foreign Trade in Mos-
cow has become a ministry cf
economic empire-building; it no
longer limits itself to pure com-
merce. It has expanded enormous-
ly and at present handles all
kinds of economic activity abroad,
while the usual import and export
arrangements are ho longer of
primary significance, In the course
of briefing a group of his officials
preparing to go abroad, Anastas
Mikoyan—until recently the
official head of the Ministry—
always frank and _ occasionally
cynical behind closed doors, told
them: “You are Soviet colonizers,
Economics determine — policies—
you must be Soviet businessmen,
‘Soviet capitalists.’ We will help
you.â€

THE YALE REVIEW
September 1950.
the government, Mikoyan learned
his job by practice, a costly and
dangerous method of training.
Mistakes and failures alternated
with . successes, After a_ time,
however, he rose to the rank of
Communist Merchant Number
One. Since the mid-30’s he has
been a member of the Politburo,
and in this capacity has also su-
pervised a group of related minis-
tries, Along with Molotov, he was
relieved of his post in February,
1949, after twenty-four years as
the head of the same department
—something of a record in the
history of ministers, in Russia or
elsewhere. But Mikoyan still sits
in the Politburo, and this means a
great deal.
When Soviet troops began to
cross the borders into other lands
in 1944, new and difficult tasks
began to confront Mikoyan’s
agency. Trade had to be reor-
ganized, It was a peculiar kind
of trade, since Russia had nothing
to export and was in need of prac-
tically everything. Lend-lease
supplies from the United States
continued, but these were insuf-
ficient for the great needs of a
devastated country. It was the
task of Mikoyan’s NKVT (Nazo-
dnyi Komisariat Vneshnei Tor-
govli) to acquire whatever was
available abroad, by any means,
fair or foul.
For the young and naive who
ask questions and whose con-
sciences need to be soothed, the
“liberating†function of the Soviet
Union was brought to the fore: a
great liberator is entitled to
specia]_treatment and privileges.
Soon the “singlehanded†victory
over Germany and the Soviet’s
“decisive†role in the Far East
were being applauded. Conse-
quently anything was permissible
if it served to restore the life of a
country that had bled itself white
to liberate the globe.
For the more difficult task of
economic management, other re-
sources were discovered. It hap-
pened that Soviet troops in
Rumania had captured Dr. Carl
August Clodius, economic empire-
builder of the Nazi regime, An
outstanding expert on all Euro-
pean economic matters, Clodius
had worked hard to make Berlin
the financial capital of the “new
world†as it expanded between
1937 and 1943. He concluded trade
agreements for the Third Reich,
always looking for special benefits
and advantages for the Father-
land. It was his subordinate, Dr.
Schnurre, who conducted all the
preliminary negotiations for the
Stalin-Hitler pact of 1939, and it
was his department that organ-
ized the extensive trade with
Russia in 1940-41 and secured for
Germany large deliveries of
grains, oil, and metals.
When Soviet troops brought
Clodius as a prisoner to Moscow
Mikoyan already knew a_ goo¢
deal about his German opposite
number. It was a happy coinci-
dence that Clodius appeared at
the moment when a new type of
“foreign trade,†hitherto unknown
to Mikoyan, had to be started. A
few years before, when Germany
had been great and strong, but
unwilling or unable to pay, Clodi-
us had been able to obtain oil,
fats, grain, and fodder from east-
ern Europe. Now it was the
Soviet Union, also great and
strong and likewise unable to pay,
that needed these commodities,
Clodius applied his talents.
It was a principle of Moscow
that wealth and capital belonging
to Germany or to Germans in
Soviet-occupied territories should
automatically fall to the Soviet
Union; this applied also to Japan-
ese property in Manchuria and
Korea. In his book on the Yalta
Conference, Stettinius mentions
Stalin’s desire to diminish Ger-
many’s industrial productivity by
80 per cent. This meant whole-
sale dismantling of German indus-
try; in fact, dismantling industrial
units and shipping equipment to
the East was the main Soviet
method of obtaining “reparationsâ€
at least in the early stages, This
method, first publicly proposed by
Soviet economist Eucene Varga,
seemed far superior to the tradi-
tional methods of obtaining repara-
tions.
The result was a great dis-
appointment: the gains to Russia's
economy from shipments of mdus.
trial equipment were small; the
losses to the dismantled country
were enormous. Why kill the goose
that was laying the golden eggs?
Was it not more sensible to stop
destruction and organize produe-
tion abroad to mect the needs of
they Soviet Union? Hufdreds of
shops and_plants marked for dis-
mantling could be allowed to con-
tinue in operation, only now the
proprietor would be a_ foreign
power, Even that could be «amou-.
flaged so as not to irritate tne
nationalistic feelings of the local
population, The “mixed companyâ€
—an industrial corporation owned
50 percent by the Soviet and 56
percent by the government of the
satellite in question (sometimes |
51 and 49 percent)—became ths,
universal form of Soviet economic{
activities abroad, The “mixed
company†had been tried out in
the Chinese Eastery. Railway in
Manchuria, between 1924 and 1939;

able agreement between the
Soviet authorities and the Chinese

however, had been sufficient to de-
prive the Chinese of all influence
Moscow _ decide that the
Manchurian pattern could be
applied universally, “Mixed com-
panies’ mushroomed all over
eastern Europe, including East
Germany. Hungary “shared†hei
bauxite, oil, iron and steel, chemi-
cals, electricity, railroads, and
aviation with the Soviet Union.
These were the industries which.
in Soviet parlance, constitute the
“commanding heights†and which
according to Marxist concepts,
secure political control over @
country. In Rumania __ sever
sovroms (Soviet-Rumanian com—
panies) embrace banking, lumber,
the important oil industry, and air
maritime, river,, and highway
transport. Here, as in Hungary,
the Soviet 50 percent often con-
sists of American, British, and
French property sequestrated by
Germany during the war and now,
as “Nazi property,†taken over by
a sovrom, More than half the Aus-
trian oil output is in Soviet hands
and, according to part of the pros-
pective treaty already agreed on,
will remain so; what is more im-
portant, the Soviet state will b¢
entitled to explore for oil in a
great part of Austria’s territory, In
Poland new steel, chemical, and
cement factories are being built
aceording to plans prepared in
Moscow.
A similar development has taken
place in the Far East, only there
the facts have been better conceal-
ed. It was officially announced
that in the province of Sinkiang
two mixed Soviet-Chinese Com-
panies had been cfeated for oil and
non-ferrous metals. Though exact
reports are lacking, there is nm
doubt that the industry of North
Korea is operated on a similar
basis and that the principle of mix-
ed companies will also be applied
in Manchuria.
What Mikoyan acquired in Ger-
many, however, was far more ex-
tensive and important than all the;
Soviet enterprises in the other
satellite countries put together.
Early in 1945 it was decided to
take over two hundred of the Jarg-
est industrial units, among them
the world-famous Zeiss factory

Meissen factory (percelain), factor
Get Sick
By THOMAS C. WATSON
LONDON, Jan.
Reduced physical resistance to illness
caused by the badly balanced British aus-
terity diet, coupled with nervous tension and
a cold winter, are the causes attributed by
medical men to-day to the prevalent wave of
sickness afflicting the British people.
Even the usually optimistic Ministry of
Health spokesman had to admit: “There is
absolutely no doubt there is a great deal of
sickness in Britain.â€
Doctors have declared that this is the worst
winter for illness Britain has ever known.
A serious epidemic of grippe is crippling
the output from important industrial centres.
Hospitals are crowded, doctors are working
day-long and half way through the night
coping with the illnesses.
British doctors are not permitted by the
British Medical Association to “seek public-|¢
ity†by having their names quoted.
One American doctor with a large public} ;
health practice in London emphatically de-|-§
clared that susceptibility to attack was due
to the badly balanced diet the present scale
of food allows the average Britisher.
“It is true the people are not starving,†he} ‘
said, “but there is a complete lack of the
proper number of proteins to build up resist-
ance to the prevailing epidemic of grippe.
“It is virus ‘A’ that is the root of the
trouble and the combat that we ought to have
aureo-mycyn, but there is hardly any in this
country and none available for the sufferers
who are treated under the nationalized health
scheme.
“Consequently, we are using penicillin and
the sulfa drugs to deal with bronchial and
other toxic after-effects of the grippe. Peo-
ple over 55 are the worst sufferers. While
in the young and vigorous the grippe is not
generally lethal, nonetheless the older peo-
ple with their indifferent rationing and the
mental strain of two wars, and the prospect
of a third, are far too frequently dying from
the attack.â€
The Ministry of Health say that the out-
break came to Britain from the Scandinavian
and Low countries and the seamen were
ies producing machines, paper, a¢) the obvious carriers of the virus.
synthetic fuel, and even publishing
houses. The units were organized
into groups, as, for instance, for
chemicals, instruments, fuel,
so on, Each group was constituted
an industrial corporation; to-day
there exist thirty such corporations
in Eastern Germany. Later Mos-
cow decided to return those units
which were rather burdensome and
not lucrative enough to the German
agencies controlling the nationaliz-
ed industry.
The remaining 126 factories in
Germany’ are administered by
the Soviet MVT. This agency has
a new department, the Chief
Administration of Industriai
which controls all
Corporations,
the mixed companies in Europe
(Rumanian, Hungarian, Austrian,
and German) and has its main
offices in Weissensee (Berlin);
they utilize about 300,000 workers
in addition to 400,000 in Soviet-
controlled uranium-mining.
The product of this system of
economic exploitation is a vast
tribute paid to the Soviet Union
by its satellites. No figures have
been published by either side;
statistics are a wel!-guarded state |
secret, But every week hundreds of
railway trains carry to the Soviet
the huge “surplus value†pro-
duced by satellite peoples of the
West and of the East. It certainly
comes to billions of dollars a year.
In addition, by means of a num-
ber of secret agreements the Soviet
government has acquired privi-
leges for the mixed companies
which in effect exempt them from
taxes and customs, and often
include the rigkt to maintain
their own factory guards. This
type of Soviet-controlled police
may become significant as a nu-
cleus of Soviet power, especially
in countries where the occupation
by the Soviet army, will end.
The Soviet Union has thus over-
night become the owner cf great
capital abroad—a novel event in
Russian history.
For a century, both before and
to some degree after the revolu-
tion, Russia was a field for foreign
investments. It was not so long
ago thated.enin d. foreign
capitalists to R and was
prepared to acquiesce in the ex-
ploitation of the Russian worket
by the foreign industrialist and to
pay dividends to the latter in the
hope of increasing Russia’s pro-
ductive capacity. Stalin was in
complete agreement with this
policy.
In the thickly populated areas around Liv-
and/erpool and Newcastle, two ports dealing
mostly with Scandinavian seaborne goods,
the virulence of the attack is greater and
more intensive than it was in the countries
of origin.
Dr. Frank Gray, secretary of the London
Medical Committee who is the only doctor
permitted to speak for quotation, declared
on behalf of his 6,000 medical members that
in normal circumstances the epidemic would
not be serious.
“The trouble is not the virus but the pa-
tient,†he said.
“Anyway, this is the worst season for ill-
ness. There was a very cold spell just before
Christmas, and now there is a fuel shortage.
“Added to this are the strains and worries
which reduce the patient’s physical resist-
ance—things such as the fear of another war
and the imminence of the call-up for national
service.
“The situation is worse than it has ever
been since the start of the National Health
Service. The hospital shortage has always
existed since the war and now the shortage
is acute.
“Many beds in hospital are closed owing
to the medical and nursing staffs being
stricken with the grippe. Also under the
existing scheme there are many people oc-
cupying hospital beds for illnesses that
would have been treated at home during the
pre-nationalization days.â€
The London Committee is recommending
to the Ministry of Health that there should
be no more hospital beds for normal mater-
nity cases and the temporary postponement
of admission to hospitals for non-urgent sur-
gical cases.
So far the Ministry has refused to conform
to these Suggestions contending that the at-
tack in London has not reached epidemic

it would seem that, except for an
occasional 5 or 6 overs, Atkinson
will not be needed (as a bowler).
My humble opinion is that At-
kinson owes his selection in Mr.
Coppin’s team chiefly to his pres-
ent battipg form, and that he
would be a poor substitute for a
real pace bowler. In former days,
as Mr. Coppin knows only too
well, a fast bowler was selected
because he was considered better
than any other fast bowlers avail-
able; his selection was not influ-
enced by his batting ability. At-
kinson is no Constantine. As far
as his batting is concerned, in such
company as Roy Marshall, Ever-
ton Weekes, Clyde Walcott and
Charlie Taylor, not forgetting
John Goddard, Atkinson can only
be considered as “having .also ranâ€.
I would suggest that the selec-
tors in their deliberations pay
their most careful attention to the
problem of bowling: «they should
have few worries about the bat-
ting. Let us once again see a Bar-

HOUSE PASS AMENDED
PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
The Public Utility Bill was yesterday passed by the House; centage of shares of the capital
of Assembly with some amendments. Consideration of the!
Bill began on the 23rd of January when 51 sections were
passed,
Those dealt with yesterday were on such matters ag the
“Utility Board’s expensesâ€, “Securitiesâ€, “Dissolution of
Public Utilities in defaultâ€, and “Review by the Board of
its own decisionâ€, among others. One clause was added to
the Bill.
There was much discussion of
a section which stated that “An
appeal shall lie to the Court of
Error from any decision or order
of the Board upon any question
of law.†The opposition against
it was that it should not only be
upon any question of law, but also
of fact.
Mr. Adams said that the ques-
tion of fact should go to the Gov-
ernor-in-Executive Committee and
Mr. Mapp moved that an appeal
shall also be from the Board to
the Governor-in-Executive Com-
mittee upon any question of fact.
A. division was taken as to
whether the appeal which would
lie to the Court of Error should
be upon any question of law only
or of law and fact.
Those who voted for the appeal
being on the question of law only
were His Hon. the Speaker, Mr.
Foster, Mr. Allder, Mr. Miller,
Mr. Mapp, Mr. Lewis, Mr.
Bryan, Mr. Cox, Mr. F. L. Wal-
cott, Dr. Cummins and Mr.
Adams.
Those who voted for the inclu-
sion of “fact†were Mr. .Craw-
ford, Mr. Bethell, Mr. Mottley,
Mr. Dowding, Mr. Gill, Mr.
Goddard, Mr. Wilkinson and Mr
Reece.
When the House resumed con-
sideration of the Bill yesterday,
Mr. G. H. Adams asked to re-
commit Section 11.
The section reads:
“Each year the expenses of the
Board for the preceding calendar
year shall be assessed upon and
borne by the several utilities
carrying on business during the
whole or any part of the preceding
calendar year. ;
On or before the first day of
July in each year, or such later
date as the Board may determine,
the Board shall assess upon cach
of such public utilities its just
share of such expenses in propor-
tion to its gross earnings for such
preceding calendar year or part
thereof, as the case may be,
The amount assessed under the
preceding sub-section on a public
utility shall be paid by such
public utility within one month
after it has been notified by the
Board of such amount and in
default of payment, the Board
may sue for and recover the
same in any court of competent
jurisdiction,â€
Mr. Adams (L) said that he had
asked that the section be re-
committed to insert the words
“including the remuneration of
members thereof†in sub-section
1, after the word “yearâ€, He
wanted to make it clear, he said,
that the expenses of the Board
meant also the salaries of the
members of the Board.
He would repeat that the
principle of the latest Canadian
legislation had been followed in
this matter of public utilities. In
the Newfoundland legislation it
was found justifiable to put in a
section making the remuneration
of members of the Board payable
by the public utilities and not
taken out of the Public Treasury.
Mr. A. E. 8. Lewis (L) re-
ferred to sub-section 3 and said
that in the matter of the assess—
ment by the Board, it should be
made abundantly clear that the
money should be paid into the
‘Treasury. He therefore moved
that the words “into the Treasuryâ€
be inserted after the word “paidâ€.
Mr. E. D. Mottley (E) said that
it was regrettable the Newfound—
land legislation should be adopted
as against that of other places in
Canada and the United States as
well, where the remuneration to
members of the Board was paid
out of the Public Treasury. These
places too had had a very much
longer experience in their method
than had Newfoundland in theirs.
He was in agreement with the
suggestion of Mr, Lewis. He had
made the same suggestion, he
said, to the hon, senior member
for St. Joseph, and also in the
House. :
He expressed disapproval that
the Board’s expenses should be
borne by the utility companies.
He could see that this would be a
great burden on the companies.
He knew that in due course this
section would have to be amended.
Mr, Adams referred to the sug-
gestion of Mr. Lewis and pointed
out that the proposed amendment
Was not a necessity.
The section was finally passed
with the amendment proposed by
Mr. Adams,
The House then dealt with Sec-
tion 6. This reads:
“The members of the Board shall
receive such remuneration as the
Governor-in-Executive Commit-
tee shall determine.â€
Mr. Wilkinson (E) moved that
the section be amended by the
addition of the words “with the
approval of the legislatureâ€. This
was in the Minority Report sub-
mitted by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr.
Mottley.
Mr. Mottley seconded the mo-
tion and said that he could not
see any harm wou!d be done by
the insertion of the words.
He argued that the House should
he able to discuss the salaries of
the members of the Utility Board.
Mr, Lewis was not in agreement
and said that in his opinion the
House should not be blamed for
fixing the salaries of these mem-
bers. .
Mr. W. A, Crawford said that
there could be no valid objection
fo ensuring as far as reasonable
that the rates paid members of the
Board should be as reasonable as
possible. They—the members of
the Assembly—were the people to
ensure that. The Executive might
decide to put the rates so high
that the operation of the Board
might be so costly as to make the
corsumer wish a Utility
had never-been brought about.
Mr. W. W. Reece said that
Was
Board j land
reration, but because ‘he felt that
in an Act of the sort before them,
it would be better from.the con-
sumers’ point of view, “if) they
knew the figures agreed upon had
also met the approval of the Legis-
lature.
Mr. Wilkinson’s amendment
was finally put to the vote and
defeated by a 10 to 8 majority.
The voting was:
Ayes: Mr. D. A. Foster, Mr.!
F. E. Miller, Mr. R. G. Mapp,
Mr. A. E. S. Lewis, Mr. T. O.
Bryan, Mr. M. E. Cox, Mr. O. T.!
Allder, Mr. F. L. Walcott, Dr.|
H. G. Cummins, and Mr. G. H.
Adams
Noes: Mr. W. A. Crawford,
Mr. F. E. C. Bethell, Mr. E. D.
Mottley, Mr. H. A, Dowding, Mr.
L. E. R. Gill, Mr. F. C, Goddard,
Mr. J. H. Wilkinson and Mr.
W. W. Reece.
Clause 27 was then dealt with.
The clause read —
27. (1) No public utility shall
issue any stocks or shares or any
debentures or other evidence of
indebtedness, payable in more
than one year from the date
thereof, unless it has first obtained
the approval of the Board to the
proposed issue.
(2) The Board may grant its
approval of the proposed issue
in the amount applied for or in
any lesser amount, and subject to
such conditions as it may deem
reasonable and necessary to im-
pose.
A minority report by Mr.
Wilkinson and Mr. _ Mottley
stated.
“We are in doubt as to whether
a Public Utility Coy. incorpor-
ated outside this Island which
establishes a place of business
within this Island would have to
comply with the provisions of
this Clause and therefore suggest
that this Clause be so amended as
to make it abundantly clear what
would be the position of such com-
panies,â€
Mr. Adams (L) moved that the
section be amended to read “the
Board may grant its approval of
the proposed issue in the amount
applied for or in any lesser
amount, and subject to such con-
ditions as it may deem reasonable
and necessary to impose, provided
that in the case of a company
registered in the United Kingdom,
the approval of the Board prior
permission of any body recognised
by the Board for such purpose, has
been obtained,
Mr, Wilkinson (E) said that
those were the days of comprom-
ising. He thought that the clause
which the Hon. Senior Member
for St. Joseph had asked to be in-
serted had made the section much
more explanatory as to the posi-
tion of companies incorporated
outside, ;
He said that he was satisfied
with the insertion offered by that
member and was going to support
it.
Mr. Crawford (C) said that as
he saw it, the Telephone and Gas
Companies came under control of
the Board through the bill, but
the Electric Company was left to
do as it liked. As far ‘as the Elec-
trie Company was concerned, he
said, the Board could well had not
been in existence, 7
He said that it was not fair for
one public utility service to be
controlled by the Board while
another was not.
Mr. Mottley (E) said that that
subsection of Clause 27 was the
most controversial in the Bill.
He said that it, might have
appeared to some small minded
honourable members that the
Government was giving in to the
Minority Board,
That was not the case, he said,
but he was of the opinion that the
Government was showing that
they had appreciated some of the
arguments that were raised and
had decided to meet them half
way to straighten up the most
controversial part.
He said that the section was
ambiguous as it stood and he was
glad that the Leader of the House
was not too big headed to com-
promise.
He felt that subsection (2) with
the amendment was most neces-
sary in the bill and to delete that
section would have been destroy-
ing the Bill.
He was however contending
that he wanted to see the public
utilities owned by the people of
Barbados. That is, he wanted to
see it possible for people of the
community to buy shares as
as they had the nécessary m é
Mr. Reece (E) said that the
Hon, Senior Member for the City
did not understand that it was
a public company and anybody

The Bvuard might attach a con-
dition that shares should be issued
locally... No one purported to tell
a company registered in England
to do something which might be
against the English law.
He. hoped that it would be
necessary for the Electric Com-
Sany to have a mixture of local
and other directors as it would be
much better for Barbados. Even
tne Gulf Oil Company with its
two million was registered here
as a Barbados company.
BARBA
\‘n The Legislature
Yesterday
COUNCIL
At yesterday's meeting of the Legisla-
tive Council the Hon'ble the Colonial!
Secretary tabled the Seawell Airport
Regulations, 1951.
Hon'ble H. A. Cuke presented the Re-
port of the Select Committee appointed
to consider the Bill to amend the Veg-
tries Act, 1911 (1911-5). The Report
which will be printed and circulated is
as follows :—
The Committee have only investigated
the numbers affected by this tax in the
parishes of Christ Church and St
Michael, as it is admitted that the inci-
dence of the tax in other parishes is
negligible.
2. In the parish of St. Michael the re-
lief applied for and granted for the years
1949-50 and 1950-51 amounted to 24% and
20° respectively and in the parish of
Christ Church to 5% and 4% % respect-
ively of the sums assessed.
3. From these figures it does not
appear that the present basis on which
the rate is levied causes such hardship
that it cannot be relieved as at present
by the
parishes.
. The Council concurred in the follow-
no
Resolution to place the sum of $64,806,

His answer to the senior mem- ! 4t the disposal of the Governor-in-Execu~
ber for the City was that he saw
| Estimates 1950-51, Part I, Currencies, as
tive Committee to supplement the
no reason why in the conditions tshown in the Supplementary Estimates
mentioned in sub-section 2, the
Board should not grant approval
of the issuing of stocks and shares
where it was workable.
Referring to the remark by the
honourable junior member for
Christ Church who said that the
proviso was not worth the paper
on which it was written, Mr,
Adams said that was a very harsh
remark. He should hate to think
that. the Government should en-
deavour, in order to meet the
objections of the Minority Report,
ask the Committee to accept some- | No. 37.
thing that was worthless.
He said that if some company
came along like the Telephone
Trust Company of Great Britain
and took over the interests of the
local company, so the Electric
Company might feel that as far
as Barbados or the West Indies
was concerned they should have
a local registered company.
Section 27 was then passed.
Section 36 reads:
Where a public utility has
failed to comply with any order
made by the Board, if the
Board is of the opinion that nce
effectual means exist of com-
pelling the company to comply
with the order, the Board in
its discretion may transmit to
the Colonial Secretary a certi-
ficate signed by the Chairman
and the secretary, setting forth
the nature of the order and the
default of th@ company in
respect thereof and upon pub-
lication in the Official Gazette
of a public notice of the receipt
of the certificate by the Colo-
nial Secretary.
An amendment to this section
was in the Minority Report by
Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Mottley
which said that after the words
“Official Gazetteâ€, the words “and
a daily and at least one weekly
newspaper†be inserted.
This amendment was accepted
by Mr. Adams but he suggested
that the words “a_ tri-weeklyâ€
should also be added to . the
amendment, This was agreed to
and the section was passed.
Section 42 dealing with review
by the Board of its own decision
was passed, The Section reads:
The ‘Board’ may review, vary
and rescind any decision or order,
made by it and where under this
Act a hearing is required before
any decision or order is made,
such decision or order shall not be
altered, suspended or revoked
without a hearing.
Section 43 reads:
(1) An appeal shall lie to the
Court of Error from any decision
or order of the Board upon any
question of law. ;
(2) The appellant shall give
notice of appeal to the Board and
to the adverse party interested and
the Board shall be entitled to be
heard by counsel upon the hearing
of the appeal.
M+. Mottley (E) said that in the
Minority Report they did not agree
with this part of the Bill as it did
not give all parties the right to
appeal on questions of law as wel)
as fact. In their opinion, the right
of appeal from any decision of the
Board whether on questions of
law and,or fact to the Court of
Error of the island with the fur-
ther right ‘of appeal therefrom to
Such higher judicial authority as
the party appealing shall think
fit, should be given to all parties,
and they therefore recommended
that the Bill be amended accord-
ingly.
He said that the junior mem-
ber for St. James and he had
argued the matter from every
angle and were at a disadvantage,
having no one to guide them
legally. The honourable member
for St. Joseph with his legal know-
Jédge and knowledge of things
locally felt that the right of
appeal from any decision or order
of the Board should be on a ques-
tion of law. ,
Having no legal training in
matters of that sort, they felt that
a public utility, company or indi-
vidual should have a similar right
of appeal as given an individual
in publie life who wanted to
appeal from any court of appeal
to the highest court in the British
Empire.
Mr. J. H. Wilkinson (E) said
that the senior member for the
City and he had considered that
it was only British justice that
there should be a right of appeal
panies was to protect the monies |ijncluded in the Bill on fact as
of the people—big or small—whojwell as on law and there were
invested their monies on them.
Mr. Adams (L) reminded hon-
many who agreed on that. —
Mr. G. H. Adams (L) said that
ourable members that the object|the honourable junior member for
of giving powers
to a Public|Christ Church could tell his col-
Utilities Board apart from things | leagues that it would be more dis~-
like regulating rates and prices, |
and to ensure efficiency by a
public utility and to ensure ‘that
the public got justice.
A Company's “isstting of
shares should be so regulated
that the public did not suffer,
especially shareholders. If
honourable members bore that
in mind, they woul@ ggrée, as
he thought everyone whd had
spoken on the settion had
agreed, that the section was
necessary.
He did not think that in that
Committee, anyone went as far
as to suggest that the section
should be eliminated.
He referred to the Newfound-
Act which he said

other sections were passed ard an

The people involved were 19-

ran into the rear. The Police came
but Crawford said that he would
overlook the incident,
Crawford on the other hand
Said that after he told the Police

5 Vestries Will Get
Playing Fields
The House of Assembly yester-
day passed five Resolutions, fou
to make it lawful for the Vestries
of St George, St. Andrew, St.
Michael and St, Joseph to lease
different amounts of land from the
Governor - in-Executive Commit-
tee, and the other to allow the
Vestry of St. Philip to lease land
from the trustees of the Garnes
‘rust. The lands the Vestries will
lease will be used as playing fields
The playing field for St, George
will be at Ellerton and it will not
be more than six acres,
The St. Andrew Vestry would
be able to lease not more than
eight acres of land which is situ-
ated at Belleplaine. St, Joseph
can lease not more than four acres
at the old railway station, Bath-
sheba. \
The Resolutions were intro-
!duced by Dr. Cummins who told
the House that they sought to give
the Vestries power to lease land,
Most of the discussion was cen
tred on the suitability of the
different St. Michael playing
fields,
Mr. Bryan (L) said that the
Carrington Village playing field
had been during a period of over
20 years built up by the residents
of the district and had been used
as a cricket ground, Then after
all the time, recommendations
were being made against its use
as a playing field and suggestions
were being put forward that it
could be used for houses,
He was making a_ special
appeal, he said, to the members
of the Executive Committee to see
what they could do about the
matter.
Dr. Cummins said that there
had been allegations made about
the spending of the money on
the Princess Alice Playing Field
and Government had been natu-
rally hesitant in handing out
more money until that had been
settled. The Government, how-
ever, had decided to make an
enquiry into the Princess Alice
Playing Field and the utilising of
(the funds.

Clock Should
Be Put Forward
MOST AGREE
THE majority of businessmen
and clerks who were interviewed
by the Advocate yesterday are in
favour of putting forward the clo¢k
an hour, Others prefer leaving the
cloek as it is but working frora
7.00 a.m., until 3.00 P.m., instead
of from 8 to 4,
Mr. D. V. Scott of the Colonnade
Stores said that working from 7
until 3 was a wise idea as far as
he was concerned, He pointed out
that pre-war grocers began work
at 6.30 and worked an 11-hour
day.
Beginning work an hour earlier
or putting forward the clock would
give his employees more time fur
games or other types of relaxation
in the evening.
On the other hand Mr. J, N.
Goddard thinks it is unwise to do
either. It would not affect him be-
cause he is out of bed at 4.30 in
the morning but his employees
“some cannot get into work at
eight o'clock in the morning.â€
Sometimes they arrived a
quarter or half an hour late,
More Time For Play
Mrs. D, K. Foster, cashier at
Colonnade Stores, would much
wefer working from an early
hour, The additional light in the
evening would enable her to have
a more enjoyable swim or a better
game of tennis,
A change in time would not
iffect Mr. R. Vaughan, a Cane
Weighing Inspector, He has no
ixed time to work and sometimcs
at night he is still on the job,
“It would not pay to work by
ixed times during the cropâ€, he
said, “We have to make as much
haste as possible, Every minute is
utilised, Delay would mean a
onger crop season,â€
Mr. Grafton Merritt, a telephone
clerk at Messrs, J. N, Goddard,
ikes a game of football and of!
able tennis. By beginning work
sarlier jn the morning he would
lave more time in the evening to
oractice and “perhaps would one
lay become a champion.â€
Mr. Clayton Greenidge ‘of
Alfonso B. DeLima, Jewellers, is
strictly in favour of working hours
veing from 8 until 3.30 p.m,, By
releasing employees half an hour
earlier they would have quite
enough time for games,
He is not in favour of time
‘hanges because of his considera-
ion for servants and over crowded
buses during the morning hours,
Will Help Barber
Working from 7 until 3. or
yutting forward the clock an hour
vill greatly assist Mr. Allan
crichlow, a barber of McGregor
Street.
In the first place his customers
vould have more time in the
‘vening to get their hair cuts.
fhey would not have to depen?
m» haif-days on Thursdays or
jaturdays and would be able to;
est on Sunday instead of flocking
iis shop,
A porter said that he is willing,
to work from 7 to 3 but the clock,
an remain as it is. He is out of bed
every morning at 5 o'clock, He
spends the first hour seeing afte
his stock and cleaning their pens.
He has very little to do between
3} and 7 o'clock, He leaves home
‘or work at. about 7.15 and then
1as to stand up outside his work-
ng premises for half an hour
iwguing about cricket or some
other topic before he goes inside.
To work from 7 to 3 would just
fill in his schedule and he would
have more time to rest in the
evening,

MCC May Gain
2nd Win Over
S. Australia
Our Own Correspondent)
ADELAIDE, Jan. 30.
The MCC cricketers were well
on the way to their second. victory
over South Australia at the close
of the third day’s play in their
match here today, One day remains
and South Australia with six
second innings wickets in hand
need 186 runs to avoid defeat.
The MCC, who had scored 108
overnight without loss after hold-
ing a first innings lead of 85, did
not make a particularly brilliant
small-time fighters who. never
made the big money and who
know what it’s like to feel the
canvas gritty beneath your knees.
They know quicker than many a
referee when a garhe kid has had
enough, and they’re not slow to
shout their knowledge.
But they do insist on value for
their “tosheroons,†and the fight-
érs seem to know that they can’t
get away with the slap and grab
which too often passes for boxing
in the more distinguished pits of
punishment,
Back To Form
These thoughts were occasioned
by a visit to the Leyton Baths,
where Micky Duff, the world’s
youngest match-maker, has to
tread delicately that shaky tight-
rope between profit and loss and
yet contrives to put on value-for-
money shows.

This seems only right. Somehow
it is incongruous that the so-

hood should be playing games
because of bad ear drums and
other such ailments while some
able-bodied fellows are fighting
and others are working behind
desks.

This may be a mistaken idea,
but it seems to this department
that the athletes should be the first
to go in case of war, to do what-
ever job they might.
They are dispensable. They
don’t dig coal, or repair power
lines, or grow crops, and serve only
as entertainers at a fee,
If all sports were wiped out

the war effort would not be

We like to kid ourselves into
believing that sports are necessary
for keeping up morale among
troops during their stretches out
of combat. The aptest reply to
that is that a nation which needs
scores on sports events is in a
bad way. ; k
More than that the nation is
kidding itself into a vast mistake.
The country wotld be better
served by these athletes handling
desk work or whatever might
come to hand in the war effort.
In the last war sports them-
selves went just a little too far
in pleading for sanctions from
Washington. Baseball in particular
campaigned flagrantly for what it
called a green light and which it
got.
Baseball as a _ result never
stopped for a minute and perhaps
it was just as well. However,
considering that athletes are
strictly entertainers and contrib-

and coal-miners might — they
would have been better aff taking

Take The Lead With Th
French Car-Makers
BEDROOM CAR
By ROBERT WALLING
CAM} in your own ear? Why
not? Recently a star point in the
Brussels motor show made British
car makers think.
They saw a new model; a
standard-production Renault, the
two-litre Fregate. In it the seats
ean be made into a bed in a few
minutes,
The iqea is not new. ‘Several
British motorists have had this
done. But the French are stan-
dardising the equipment.
Say the London agents, “There
is quite a trend among French
motorists to ‘camp’ without
troubling to tow a caravan.â€
“Why not adopt this idea as a
samll-cost extra in your models?â€
I asked a member of the British
“Big Five’.
The reply: “We could do it
fairly easily, and at no great
expense. But it is just one of
those things we have not troubled
about.â€
Yet this maker recently re-
ceived two letters, each with
photographs, from overseas mo-
torists who had converted his
models to “sleeping cars.â€

S. Rhodesia, claims that in four

WHICH RULE DO YOU
PREFER?
by M. Harrison-Gray
UNDER the American ver-
sion of the rules, a player
may take an unfrozen discard
pile with. a card matching a
completed Canasta. This. is
another example of a differ-
ence of opinion, and the point
at issue ts an important one.
The way Canasta is played
in this country, it ts often
difficult to decide at which
point in the game one should
complete a Canasta, for tn
doing 30 you will probably
make it easy for the 0} pO
ments to find extra safe is-
cards when they might other-
wise be embarrassed.
If, on the other hand, you
nold up your Canasta cards
too long, you may find that
the opponents go out before
ou ave made all the
‘anastas that were possibie.
Under the American laws 1%
is clear that there ts not the
same deterrent against making
up Canastas as quickly as
ssible and, for this reason,
he scores under their code
are apt to be higher.
It would be interesting and
valuable to collate the views
on this subject of a cross-
section of experienced players.
This would make tt possible
to decide which set of rules
makes for a better game, and
would be @ step towards the
Standardisation of the laws
in this country which must
eventually materialise.

TWO SUIT MEN
The United States Department
of Agriculture has announced re-
sults of a recent survey of cloth-
ing preferences of American men.

farmers who produce raw materi-
als for clothing, garment manu-
facturers, designers, and fabric
technicians. The survey is based on
interviews with 1,500 men in every
part of the Nation.
The Department reports that the
aver American man owns
shemtvde suits —1.95 to be exact.
A suit is defined as a coat and a
pair of trousers that match each
other and are suitable for wear
the year round. Nearly one-third
of the men interviewed ‘said they
own one suit. Seventy per ceht.
