In Review
Extending Working Hours
For The Miners
The Daily* Mirror and theHear
ald lead on the news that the min
ers’ leaders and the National Coal
Board have agreed on the terms
tor the working of extended hours
in the pits.
Civil Aviation
The Daily Mail leads on the re
port by the Select Committee on
Sstimates revealing faults in Brit
ain's civil aviation set-up which
have contributed to a 10.000,000
pound deficit on the three state
owned air lines. One factor spot
ighted is that the aircraft being
used consists largely of commer
cially uneconomic types, and the
decision of the government to buy
no more foreign aircraft in order
o save dollars.
The Conservative Party
Conference
With only one exception, the
papers lead on a variety of home
.opics. The Times and the
Daily Telegraph feature the Con
ervative Party conference at
Brighton and spotlight the fact i
sensions among the 3,000 dele-1
that the Party’s industrial charter
was adopted with only three dis
gates.
Mr. Eden’s speech on the emer
gency resolution attacking the
government’s handling of the ec
onomic situation is well reported,
and the Daily Telegraph editor
ial says the conference has begun
to show that, over the whole field
of policy, an alternative govern
ment can be found which would
either do other and better things
than our present rulers, or do the
same things better.
The Daily Mail says the adop
tion of the industrial charter was
a great victory for the modern
conservatism and a great defeat
for the backwoodsmen at the hand
of the younger mass.
The Daily Express, on the other
hand, thinks the Party has made
a great blunder. It says that
by approving the charter it has
accepted the principle of planned
economy, a socialist principle, and
that the Tories are now entering
into competition in socialistic doc
trines where their rivals will al
ways be able to outwit them .
The Labor Daily Hearald says
the first day of the confe *ence
shows that the conservatives failed
to suggest any practical method,
of meeting the country’s economic I
difficulties beyond the measures!
already put into force by the gov-I
ernment. The *Hearald adds that
! by endorsing the industrial char
j ter, the conference admitted that
Labor’s policy of controls and a
large part of its nationalization
program has been right after all.

Palestine
The News Chronicle breaks aw
•
ay from the general line by feat
uring the boarding, by men of
the Royal Navy, of two illegal
immigrant ships off the Palestine
coast and, like several other pa
pers. front pages the announce
ment by Jewish Agency spokes
men at the U.N. Palestine commit
tee fn New York that the Jews are
prepared to accept partition of
Palestine.
Atomic Research in Britain
The Daily Graphic features an
article by a correspondent wh >
has interviewed one of Britain’s
foremost atomic experts. The
correspondent says that Britain’s 1
progress in atomic research is
five years ahead of America and
will startle the world when the
facts become known. In less
than five years, he adds, the gen
erators that feed Britain’s elec
tricity grid system will be driven
by atomic energy instead of coal
consuming power systems.
A good way to relieve the mo
notony of any job is to think up
ways of improving it.
