It is in England, no e French country- tearing-down of posters denouncing a country with language barrier and our stropgest., ultural tie, where we most need to build up our popularit fences. For in no other country i there more gibing at the Unite: States. WHY The Gibes? There ar2 several reasons for thi: most of them easy to understand Reason No. 1—The United States has replaced Britain as the dom- inant world power, and no nation is ever popular when the former No. 1 nation starts playing No. 2 Reason No. 2—The U. S. A. has been put in the light of wanting war and of pushing Europe into war. While this is not true, never- theless the statements of certain irresponsible senators and generals, such as Gen. Orvil Anderson (re- lieved at Montgomery, Ala.), fav- oring a preventive war, have the British - scared. They are afraid that, by being the tail on the Am- erican kite, ‘they will find them- seles flipped into war without h ing any chance to pause or argue. Reason No. 3—The British have tightened their belts to such an extent that their meat ration is now no greater than during the war—eight pence a week. In con- trast they can't help watching a wealthy, unrationed U. S. A. Nat- urally tney are jealous. British ‘meat-rationing, incident- ally, is not because the Britis can't get meat, but because costs precious dollar e And the labor government is mak- ing heroic efforts to cut out luxury imports and stabilize its trade bal- ance. Reason No. 4—Is differences with the U. S. A. over China and General MacArthur. While you find criticism of MacArthur all over Europe, it reaches a white heat in England. There he is sometimes called “The first satrap of the American Empire.” MacArthur, to the Buiitish, is an advance warning of what would happen in any allied war. An American General, they fear, would dominate a weak White House and likewise the fate of Britain. Furthermore there giving that MacArthur is try spread the Korean war to just for the purpose of exp: his own power. No matter how un- justified this misgiving, it is deep and a serious factor tions with our hitherto ur ing ally. is grave mis- in our re Anglo-U, S. Spokesmen Needed The above reasons are basic and cannot be chanced easily. But there are other public-opinion factors whiciz could be changed overnight, if responsible people at the worked at them. Here are two ex- amples: 1. Admiral W. F. Fechteler—The storm of British resentment over the appointment of this American Admiral to command the Atlantic fleet under the North Atlantic pact could easily have been avoided by Prime Minister Attlee himself. Real fact was that he was poorly in- formed. When Winston Churchill upbrai- | ded Attlee on the floor of Commons for permitting Admiral Fechteler’s appointment, Attlee apparently did not know, certainly did not reply, that a British commander would take over all fleet operations around British waters, the North Sea, and in the eastern part of the Atlantic. If this had been announced, there would have been no real criticism by the Pritish public. What the jritish people objected to was the rroneous idea that an American imiral would command the fleet 1 waters immediately adjacent to hie British Isles, All that was needed to clarify his point was a good public-re- ations expert, but apparently none vas on hand. 2. Canned Mexican Meat—The ritish government’s purchase of U. S. surplus beef, from Mexican attle butchered under the hoof- and-mouth disease program, also stirred up a lot of unnecessary ill will. The British press and people got the idea that Uncle Sam was cast- ing off this supposedly “tainted” meat as a bone to his poor rela- ives in Britain. The meat was go- ng to Britain, according to the 3ritish press, because Americans considered it unfit for human con- Sumption. Real fact, however, was that this canned meat from Mexico was far more sanitary and less diseased than the chilled and frozen beef Britain has long imported from Argentina. For fresh Argentine beef, even when chilled or frozen, has been shown to remain con- taminated. On the other hand, canned beef, having been cooked ind no longer contaminated, is ad- mitted even to the United States from hoof-and-mouth diseased areas. Actually there was nothing wrong with the Mexican beef, canned by the United States and stored in Oklahoma—except for one thing. It was cooked with gravy. The Ameri- meat, likes it without gravy; so this batch of meat was sold by the U. S. Department of Agriculture the British instead. Incidentally it was sold at a bar- gain price, but abuse was heaped on the United States just the same. This was another case where a dozen words of clarification by the American ambassador or a member of the British cabinet would have prevented a lot of ill will with an ld and traditional friend, with to tOp | sun, whom we cannot afford to have ill will REV.
