Trouble in Britain
England has gone down for a
small count. That of course is no
reason why anybody should be
ready with the old "I-told-you-so."
However, some observations are in
order. Outstanding Englishmen have
been outspoken during the fuel crisis
current in their country. An exam
ination of the underlying causcs of
the crisis in England ought to make
good AWW"
ican economic. system.
In England or anywhere else in
'the world, it is my feeling that little
or nothing along the socialist order
is to be found there that we would
wish to adopt in America. Even
before the coal and power crisis
reached the terrible proportions of
mid-February, the British were be
ing urged by critics within their own
realm to abandon plans for further
nationalization.
National Suicide?
Mr. Shinwell, minister of fuel and
power, along with Sir Stafford
Cripps, president of the Board of
Trade, asked that the country forego
any further reorganization of the
electric power industry. The idea
behind their plea was that British
industry could not afford to be ex
posed to the uncertainties and haz
ards that would accompany more
experimentation. It was time for
danger signals to go up.
The government, it was stressed,
would have to concentrate on the
task of preserving the economic life
of England. Another warning came
from a prominent religious leader.
The English people were confronted,
he said, by immense danger in the
planned society becoming so com
mon. If more and more orders had
to be issued "about which the peo
ple would have to put up with and
Dbey," it would be the beginning of
national suicide.
Result of Planning
The British do not lack coal be
cause they have no plan. Socialism
is full of plans. The coal mines are
there, too. What socialism forgets,
lowever, is that private and per
sonal initiative, meaning hard work
and high production, make up the
lactors that insure economic sta
Dility. English miners can never dig
:oal with paper plans. Men dig and
iistribute coal to consumers of fuel
argely because of various incen
;ives.
Not the least of these incentives
>s that men make money in the proc
ess of getting the coal out of the
ground. But a nation does not get
rid of ' monopoly by making the
nonopoly one of government. The
Y prime products of socialism and
:ommunism, with their monopolies
I )f government, have been low stand
ards- of living and meager produc
?ion.
Best Statesmanship
Thing to remember is that no anti
trust laws can reach this kind of
nonopoly. It takes either revolu
;ion or world conflict to sweep out
failures of monopolistic government,
jnce they become entrenched by
ong habit..
Responsibility falls with increas
ing weight upon America. These
duties lie most fully now in the part
jve must play of making our free
and dynamic economy, without taint
it socialistic experimentation, the
example for the whole world. ^In
;hat way can the American people
perforra their best statesmanship.

The
Locker Room
By BILL ROGERS
Frank Frisch gave out with a
new D'.zr.y Dean story this past
summer, at least it was new to
these ears.
Frankie tells it this way, "It was
one of those years when the old
Gas House gang was battling for
the pennant right down to th wire.
We had a series coming up in Bos
ton that I knew we could win, but
I didn't want to take any chances.
I knew Boston, and I knew our
bunch. They had lots of friends
there, and they had a hard time
saying no. I laid the law down to
them. 'From now on the fines are
doubled and the deadline is mid
night.'
"The first midnight rolled around
and a half dozen of them were
missing, including Dean. They
showed up about two A. M. 'That'll
cost you 350 bucks Diz,' I said, 'and
for the rest of you it's 150 apiece.
Goodnight.'
"The next day Dean was on my
neck protesting the fine. He claimed
they were all out together, and he
shouldn't have to pay more than
the rest. I put my arm around him
and said, 'Diz old boy, it can't be
like that. What do you want to be,
a rummy like the rest of those guys.
You're the great Diz Dean. Every
thing has to be bigger and better
for you, even the fines.' Diz' face
lit up with a smile.'By golly, Frank,
you're right, thanks a lot,' and he
walked away with his chest puffed
up like a pouter pigeon." ,
Tough Swede Larson could lick
everything but life. That's why
there are heavy hearts on the
Banks of the Severn.
By fame, Swede Larson was a
football man, and he was also a
man who could make! his prophe
sies come true.
Larson served in the Marines
during World War One. After It
was over, he decided to make the
Navy his career.
Swede made the team at Annap
olis. He was a rough, tough player;
a man that coaches love to turn
out. Soon after that, Larson made
his first prophesy. Some of his
team mates jokingly said to him,
"Well, Swede, now that you are
on the team, we can't lose to Army."
Swede snapped back, "You can
say that again, mister, as long as
I'm on the Navy team we'll never
lose to Army."
For three years, with Swede as
the star, an underdog Navy team
met a powerful Army eleven, and
three times the Navy was the vic
tor. Not only did they win, but
Army dicfci't score a point in the
three games. In 1919, '20 and '21
the scores were 6-0, 7-0, 7-0, In
favor of Navy.
Swede eventually came back to
Annapolis as coach in 1939. Some

one reminded Swede of the old
prophesy he made in 1919. Swede
again made the same statement,
"As long as I'm going to coach the
Navy, no Army team will beat us."
And sure enough, three amazing
victories over the Cadets were re
corded by Swede's teams of 1939,
*40 and *41.
In 1941, Swede Larson went off
to war, and it was then he made
his last prophesy. When asked if
he planned to return to football
after the warp-Swede said, "I'm
ffraid it'll be a long time before I
return to' football, maybe never
again."
His last prophesy came with
shocking truth. A couple of weeks
ago, Swede Larson, the liamous
football warrior, with a perfect
record against Army, died at the
age of only 46.
