Britain's Economic Crisis I; Exceedingly
Grave, Declares AP News Analyst Mackenzie
BY DeWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
England’s exceedingly grave eco
comic crisis h<>.s produced a polltl
<ul storm which has (lie country
''■'* ' ” • "
Minister Attlee’s labor (socialist)
government much concern.
The great conservative party,
which was 'hrov.’n out of power two
years ago by the socialists, charges
(hat labor has al
vldpd the country
at, a time when
(jnlty is para
mount. News
papers of all
Complexions have;
been lambasting
the cabinet. Even
the Daily Mirror,
long a staunch
supporter of the Attlee regime, now
declares that the premier has fail
*d to cope with the pressing eco
nomic problems. The Mirror goes
so far as to demand that he resign.
Whether this storm will clear up
quickly remains to be seen.
Mr. Attlee most certainly
maintain that Lady Fortune really
isn’t angry but that the country

suffering from a heavy war-hang
over for which his government isn’t
responsible and which It hasn t been
able to overcome as yet. One dncs
n’t venture to predict what further
be wlJ1 say _ but it wlll baye p, be
plenty to satisfy all quarters of his
( party, because the question of lead

! The crux of the situation actually
; is badly lagging Industrial product
ion, and that in turn is due to low
toal production as I pointed out in i
another rolumn. The solution of
the difficulty depends in large de
gree on persuading the coal
miners—who finally won their five
day week—to surrender that cher

Deck.
Tliat’s where the question of
leadership enters in, and why Bri
tish newspapers are suggesting that
Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin may
succeed Mr. Attlee in event of the
iatter's resignation. Bevin is ere
dited with being the country’s most
powerful leader of the labor
He nimaelf came up through union
^ he thinks the thoughts
and talks the language of the la
borer. The union members love
him.
Bevin is one of Britain’s most
forceful personalities, and a born
leader. He has astute judgment,
and is a good executive. Though
sometimes rash in his bluntness, lie
la a brilliant and colorful speaker,
Capable of dealing either with an
audience of workers or a conference
if international statesmen. He is a
fighter and likes a good scrap.
However, Bovin isn’t the only
l>ght*r among the labor leaders.
Prime Minister Attlee is one of the
sturdiest ot the lot, and is sure to
battle to retain his leadership— un
trss he oeeomes satisfied that he
has lost the support of the labor
party
But Attlee has a universal reputa
tion of being a sincere and loyal
servant of the state, and few doubt
(hat he would resign if he found
that he had lost tire confidence of
his party. Then he might recom
mend to the king that Bevin be
.rained prime minister.

A Statement To Our Customers About Resale
* ' ....."
PRICES of PRODUCTS
Built by Internationa! Harvester Company
Here at Harvester we arc con
cerned over the fact that a
growing number of our prod
ucts are appearing oil the re
sale market at greatly inflated
prices.
As manufacturers, we try to
produce at the lowest possible
cost. We cannot set the prices
at Which our products—trac
tors, motor trucks, farm im
plements, refrigeration, and in
duntfial power equipment—are
sold. We efirt and do suggest
list prices which the great ma
jority of our dealers adopt as
their retail prices.
520, 000,000 Price Reduction
Our basic price policy was
publicly Stated in March, 1947,
when we announced price re
ductions at the rate of approxi
mately $20,000,000 per year
on our products. At that time,
Fowler McCormick, Chairman
of the Board, said: “any price
IS TOO HIGH IF IT CAN BE RE
DUCED. »»
Practically all of our dealers
cooperated with this policy and
passed on the savings to their
customers.
The objective of the price
redtlctiohs was to mike it pos
sible for customers to bUy our
products, which they need so
badly, at lower prices. Natu
rally, this purpose is defeated
when our products are sold by
anybody at inflated prices.

CONGER’S NURSERIES
Smithville, Tennessee
the difference between supply
and demand. To increase sup
ply, we now have the greatest
number of employes in history
on our payrolls—almost 90,000
in the United States, as against
about 60,000 prewar. Large
new plantsaregetting into pro
duction in Louisville, Evans-’
ville, and Melrose Park. A
fourth will soon be in opera
tion in Memphis. The men and
women now employed are
turning out the greatest quan
tlties of IH products of all
kinds that we have ever made.
These are also the finest prod
ucts we have ever made, and
recognition of that fact is an
important contributing factor
to the demand for them.
Distribution to Dealers
But even record-breaking pro
duction is not sufficient to give
your dealer—and other IH
dealnra—enhugh products to
meet today’s demand. We have
tried to make the fairest possi
ble geographical allocation of
our products so that every
dealer would get a fair share,
and we know that deafbrs, in
most cases,Tiave tried earnestly
to make the fairest possible
distribution to their customers.
But wo also know that many s
of our products—far resold|at too many
—are being inflated
prices. The public Criticism and
resentment of these resales are
of real cortceriv to Us, as we
know they must be to our deal
ers, because such reactions en-
danger the good will of both
the dealer and the Company in
any community.
Distribution to Customers -
Experience shows that many
IH nc;v products are being re
sold by users who decide they
can continue to make out with
their old equipment after they
have had an inflated offer for
their new equipment. To elimi
nate this, many dealers are
tal.» j measures to be sure that
equipment purchased is for
their customers’ own use and
is not to be resold.
Nearly all IH dealers, we 1 re
lieve, arc now using the basis
of present need as their pri
mary guide for the sale of
scarce products. The custom \bC
whose need is real and urgent
is not likely to resell.
What Price Should
You. Pay?
While it may take a little more
time to get delivery, wc urge
our customers to consider all
of the factors mentioned here,
before paying more than the
list price for any IH product.
Any IH dealer or branch can
furnish the suggested list price
for any III product.
We know that the over
whelming majority of III deal
ers are as much opposed to In
flated prices as wc are. In the
public Interest, wc have al
ready asked their cnbjv-ratlor
—and are now asking the co
operation of customers—la
correcting this situation.
