Writer Finds
World Is War-Jittery
(Continued from Page 1)
ever-spreading war there. Refu
gees crowd the countries of In
dia and Pakistan, and bandits
overrun the country in Malaya.
Living conditions are defi
nitely better within England,
though, the columnist feels. He
attributes the improvement to
the fact that “nobody’s got any
money now. At the end of the
war, everybody had a lot of
money, but there was nothing
to buy. Nobody has any now,
and everyone’s much happier.”
However because of contro
versy with Argentina over beef
shipments, the meat and fats
ration in England is being cut,
he said. He told of dining on a
steak in Anchorage, which was
almost the equivalent of a
week’s meat ration in London
for himself, his wife and two
sons.
Conditions in Norway,
where Mrs. Wickstett was
horn, arc worse than in Eng
land. Food there is not so
good as it was a year ago,
but the country is the only
one in the world which is
making a wholehearted ef
fort to balance its budget.
England’s industry is staging
a comeback, the newspaperman
stated, but has not yet bridged
the gap between demand and
supply. He looks for no change
in government for many years
to come. The British appear
happy with their present Labor
leaders, and the government has
demonstrated its ability to
change to meet the needs of the
British people.
The visitor was an overnight
guest at the Matanuska Hotel,
and then was taken on a drive
up the highway by patrolman E.
R. Alexander. They travelled as
far as Tazlina, and caught
glimpses of moose, caribou,
eagles and sheep along the way.
