Mr. Attlee intimated that left-wingers of this stripe can be found in the ranks of his Labor Party, and warned that every precaution must be taken to protect basic freedoms in a time of great economic and social change. The Prime Minister is to be congratulated on this courageous stand. But what he did not say is that the creation of super-government, such as England is on the verge of adopting, which dominates every phase of a nation's life, inevitably paves the way for the destruction of liberty and oppression of the people. The British Labor government is itself a case in point. No one believes that Mr. Attlee or his immediate staff seek to break down the freedoms which Britons earned through bloody centuries. They are sincere believers in the rights of the individual. But the principles upon which the Labor government's main policies are built are a direct threat to those rights and freedoms.

But what he did not say is that the creation of super-government, such as England is on the verge of adopting, which dominates every phase of a nation's life, inevitably paves the way for the destruction of liberty and oppression of the people. The British Labor government is itself a case in point. No one believes that Mr. Attlee or his immediate staff seek to break down the freedoms which Britons earned through bloody centuries. They are sincere believers in the rights of the individual. But the principles upon which the Labor government's main policies are built are a direct threat to those rights and freedoms. The enormous powers which the government has taken for itself, if exerted by officials with a totalitarian mentality, could be used to destroy representative government, freedom of press and speech—all free enterprise and result in the creation of dictatorship. Men pass, but principles remain. The Russian revolution was fought in the name of liberty, and the works of Lenin, the leader, constantly affirm the need for freedom. But other men came to power, and every concept of freedom was perverted and violated. The rallying cry of Hitler, it should be remembered, was liberty and democracy. Its practical result was the concentration camp. The only safeguard a free people can have is a government of limited powers, which is never permitted to dominate the economic life of the nation. Once government decides who shall work and who shall not, once it controls all the purse strings, once it becomes a mass employer, the end of individual freedom is in sight. Most of Europe is now a miserable example of that fact. IN THE LONG RUN, the constant labor problems that have been interrupting production in the coal industry may be solved by coal consumers, industrial and domestic. It may be possible for the miners' union to jack up coal wages—which represent the bulk of the cost of producing coal—to any level they desire. But it will not be possible for the union or anyone else to force consumers to buy coal at artificially high prices if some other fuel can be substituted at a saving. Coal must be marketed in growing competition with other fuels, such as oil, gas, and in time, atomic power. These competitive fuels have already made inroads into markets which were once held exclusively by the coal industry. How coal will fare in maintaining its competitive position in the future will depend primarily on its cost to the user. Before the recent wage negotiations began, the coal miners had the highest earning power of any comparable industry. They have achieved many other costly benefits, such as the welfare fund. Employment—when the industry hasn't been shut down by strikes or extended "holidays"—has held to very high levels. Now the miners have won still another substantial wage advance—which will undoubtedly be reflected in the market price of coal. It remains to be seen whether the union will work to increase the productivity of mine labor, will honestly cooperate with the operators to maintain peace within the industry, and will do what else it can to save coal's markets and so protect the jobs of its members.

The fact that the Governor set aside plenty of time to visit with Republican leaders strengthens this view. Dewey is well aware of the reports that a movement is afoot to block his nomination at Philadelphia. Hence, he appears to be visiting the hinterlands with the hope of breaking the blockade before it gains too much strength. Worker Killed In First Hour On 'Big Inch' Within an hour after he had gone to work on the "Big Inch" pipeline carrying natural gas from Texas to the southland, John James Hubbert, 20, suffered injuries which cost him his life last Friday. Hubbert, who had just arrived from his native Mississippi, had gone to work for H. C. Price's construction outfit laying the pipeline. He and F. W. Quay were working with a tractor near Brea, moving a heavy pipe when a cable attached to the pipeline broke and snapped like a giant whip against Hubbert. Felled to the ground, Hubbert was rushed to Fullerton General hospital in an unconscious condition, and died without regaining consciousness. Be fair to your customers.

The property disbanded of embraces the whole of Santa Island, opposite San Diego Bay. The consideration for James Lick, of Santa Clara, agreed to convey this island, 250,000, the largest sum ever for any piece of property in this county. Gen. John G.

The pro-sive value of the land consists of undeveloped mineral deposits, among which are numerous of argentiferous galena of richness. It also contains one of the most valuable deeds of copper on this coast. All mineral deposits will soon be worked, enriching adventurers and benefitting entire country. Island has covered herself glory in the dedication of new school house on Thursday, at half-past 2 p.m., a audience having assembled. W. T. Glassell was chosen as president of the day, E. Nicolles acting as master of bonies. After the singing of "America" by the choir and an instrumental solo by Miss Martha W. M. McFadden county excellent supper spread under the arbors outdoors.

Los Angeles' weekly earnings in manufacturing were 12 percent above the nation's average in the same month. At the same time, the association's report, based on its L.A. monthly strike figures, noted that 1,063,633 man days were lost in strikes from January to June, 1947. Lost production time for this period comes within 23 percent of the total time lost in 1946 as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employees who left their jobs during the first half of 1947 lost wages amounting to $11,717,000. The Consumers Price Index in the Los Angeles area was up 17 percent from May, 1946 to May, 1947. During the same period the national index rose 18 percent. Manufacturing employment for May, although lower than April of this year, showed a substantial gain over May, 1946. Industrial employees numbered 236,000 in May 1947; 227,800 in May, 1946. But, the association added, claims for unemployment insurance in the week ending June 26 reached 141,754—highest weekly average recorded in 1947.
