Being uncommonly sensitive to
the refinement of manners, Ivor
Novello, author, has written this
pc^pedy about a raw Australian
. family and a, group of genteel
.Londoners, and when the two
groups clash, there is plenty of
fan ahead for those who witness
a performance of “Fresh Fields.”
The clumsy manners of the “visi
. :tor.s and the hauteur of the aristo
•crats are most skilfully drawn by
Mr Novello, but the characters
v are lovable and human withal.

clo$e to one of the K.E.A.’s pri

Sometimes tilings are made easy
for even the editor.'.
This \yeek was a more than or
dinary busy week, and this, writer
was not fcbleto settle down to
assimilating a few observations
on the local or national scene.
This despite the fact that there
are a few that could be touched
on.
However, we would like to quote
quite extensively from a column
entitled “The Nationel Outlook,”
written by Ralph Robey. Robey is
an authority on what he writes
about. He was editor of the New
York Evening Post; wrote a week
ly column for Newsweek and was
contributing editor and associate
editor of the latter publication;
an instructor at the University
of Rochester; assistant professor
of Banking, Columbia University.
Commenting on the current up
swing in business in the United
States,, Ralph Robey states as fol
lows:
Every segment of our nation
must cooperate if we are to have
growth with stable prices. Govern
ment must hold spending within
reasonable bounds and below the
level of the current fiscal year.
Our tax system must be reform
ed to eliminate the present stif
fling affect upon savings and in
vestment. The Federal debt must
be managed with superb skill.
And Congress must stop coming
to the aid of every industry or
line of activity which runs into
economic troubles.
The banknig system must limit
expansion of credit and the money
supply to a nonrinflatibnary
growth rate. The Federal Reserve
Board of Governors will be in
timately involved in such limita
tion.
Management must have the
courage and foresight to invest
in labor saving machinery and
other capital improvements, to
resist unwarranted wage demands,
and to develop new products
which appeal to the public.
Labor leaders must forget the
idea that there should be a wage
increase for their members every
year, regardless of the profitabil
ity of the employers.
Business men and local public
officials must stop running to
Washington for financial aid for
everything they think might be
to their benefit. ,
And, the public at large must
exercise care in its buying, and

show its disapproval of increasing
prices. Obviously this It a trying
program. But it is not a program
of aosterity.' It merely" means that
consideration for the welfare of
others must be given at least
equal weight to selfish interests.
That is not asking too much when
one bears in mind -that the alterna
tive is erosion of the value of the
dollar, recession, unemployment,
and a general weaking of the na
