I BBOOBD-CHKONICIX—
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
There always are two -.des to a dispute
truth worth remembering in trying to read
stubborn minds of the British Yorkshire coal min-
ers who continue to strike despite the fact that
heavy production of coal is the logical blood trans-
fusion needed to save England from utter economic
collapse.
A week ago British Foreign Secretary Bevin.
who also is one of the country's foremost labor
leaders, declared that if the nation's workers were
to avoid dictatorship they must combat the eco-
nomic crisis by accepting drastic measures. He
lauded the powerful Trades Union Congress for
agreeing In principle to government direction of
labor in peace-time if sltustfons warranted it
Still the present week began with the Grim-
thorpe colliery — origin of the strike — again vot-
ing to continue, despite appeals by their socliuLst
government and union leaders to resume work
Many other miners are striking In sympathy and
Industries throughout the country are suffering
It is Britain's worst labor dispute in three years.
Why.such a strike al one of the most fateful
moments In England's history when the country is
appealing to the United States for financial aid.
and the Ametlcan public Is wondering (in view
of the strike) whether John Bull is doing every-
thing possible to he»p himself?
I'm looking back some twenty-five years when
I investigated the appalling conditions which ex-
isted in many of the Welsh coal mines Terrible
privation. Including stark hunger, prevailed In
numerous areas, not only In Wales but In northern
England. This was due in part to the pitifully low
wages paid the men who spent much of their Iiv2s
In darkness, and in part to the closing of col.leries
when the price of coal dropped oelow what seemed
profitable to the owners.
It was a bad show. It was so bad, in fact, that
the general strike of 1926 throughout, Britain—the
world's first general strike — was the outgrowth
of a protracted walk-out of miners throughout
the country for better wages and working condi-
tions. The rest of labor joined them.
That brings us up to the Grlmthorpe miners
They're striking, as I get it. largely because they
still are living mentally in those harsh days. In
refusing to mine an additional, two feet of coal
each shift they are fearful of losing ax!vantages
- which they have gained, completely overlooking
that they now are working for their own labor
government, which has nationalized the mines
They haven’t become orientated towards changed
conditions
The miners obviously are wtong Visually all
the rest of British labor says they are wrong, and
it must be so. It now remains for labor leaders and
the labor government to convince the mine workers
of the error of their ways

Mr. Bevin’s Request
I
awBK'.:. j; ...... There seemed to be a churlish note of
j frustration in Foreign Secretary Bevin’s
- t 1 request that the United States “redis-
tribute^ the gold stored at Fort Knox, He
may have had in the back of his mind sonic
plan for settling what he called “this
balance-of-payment business.’’ But it did
not appear in his vague manner of putting
L. his proposal.
Instead, at a moment of grave peril in
Britain’s economic life, Mr. Bevin chose
i this government for keeping gold
✓ nPthe Kentucky hills. He found this to be
f a cause of high taxes and a handicap to
II the nation.
There were several evident flaws in the
|’t argument as he stated it. For one thing,
our gold reserve—less than half of which,
incidentally, is at Fort Knox—is not some-
thing which the government may dip into
whenever it pleases. Of the nearly $22 bil-
lions in monetary gold which this country
owns, some $18 billions are pledged against
gold certificates held by the Federal Re-
serve Banks.
To shovel out the gold coins and bars
and ship them to Europe would upset the
whole Federal Reserve System, and hence
all American banking and commerce, to
the eventual regret of Mr. Bevin, as well
as the American people.
- „. Another illogical aspect of the Bevin
argument was pointed out by the noted
economist Dr. Walter Spahr: “Just how
this country’s failure to redistribute its
gold caused high taxation here is a puzzle
indeed ... Perhaps it is that our large gold
base made posible our great expansion in
money and deposits, and that government
expenses and taxation are high as a re-
sult.”
“If this be the line of reasoning, then
the question arises as to why Britain’s
t small supply of gold did not hold down her
expenses and heavy taxation.”
Further, it would seem that what Eng-
land and other devastated areas need more
than gold are such things as food, clothing,
machinery and industrial raw materials. If -
Mr .Bevin really wants a general return to
the gold standard, with stabilizing loans
of American gold to other countries with
unsound currencies, that is another mat-
ter. But that isn’t what he said.
Mr. Bevin remarked that “I know these
Americans will be upset, but I have got to
upset somebody.”
When this apparently solid and stable
official sees no reason for high American
taxes except for the buried gold at Fort
Knox, and when he sees no remedy except
3Lt,l®3w?y ^°,<rhgngry ^orfd,
Americans have cause to feel a little per-
turbed.
The key to success of the Marshall plan
must be self-help on the part of the
countries which receive aid. The United
States seems ready to give an unprece-
i dented amount of peacetime assistance.

WASHINGTON. Sept »—(A’F The sclioola to-
day have many problems, and the people under-
stand some of them.
They know there Is a desperate shortage ol
teachers. They know that many teachers are un-
derpaid. They understand that classrooms are over-
crowded.
But there is not much understanding of mod-
em methods of teaching
Adults often think of schools as they existed
20 or 30 years ago.
But Bess Ooodykoontz. director of elementary
education in the U. S. Office of Lxiucation, says
most schools have changed since then.
You may remember your own classroom It
was filled with desks, in straight rows, fastened to
the floor. The chl'dren sat there, their eyes fixed
on the teacher. Everybody did the same things at
the same time. Everybody was expected to progress
at the same speed.
But today, if you have a small child, his class-
room is more likely to have movable chairs and
tables. They are shifted around for various activi-
ties. There are more materiaLs io work with—clay,
plastics, paints.
A few years ago, there was a tremendous rum-
pus, pro and con, over "progressive education ”
Miss Goodykoontz says this controversy has
somewhat died down In jeducatlon circles. She says
It has now been demonstrated that the schools
can be “progressive,“ In the sense of paying more
attention to Individual needs, and still do a fine job
of teaching the "essentials."
Gertrude Hankamp, executive secretary of the
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Devel-
opment (a department of the National Education
Association), says It's a big mistake to believe that
this modern idea of education means “letting the
youngsters do whatever they want to.”
She says modern education does not mean "no
discipline." She says It means this:
“Rather than the old militaristic discipline we
develop self-discipline, which is the only kind in
harmony with a democratic society "
