Britain Suffering From Shortage
Of Coal Miners
London, Jan. 29.
30, 1051.
Coal miners in Britain get double rations of meat and their average pay is higher than almost any other manual job but the Government is worried by the loss of 22,700 men from the pits.
The Government is deeply concerned, too, because the nation's most basic industry has not stepped up production anywhere near enough to meet booming domestic and rearmament demands and maintain a coal export programme.
Those were factors behind the announcement of a gigantie plan calling for expenditure of £635,000,000 to overhaul the nort entire industry over the 15 yours

The wars our generation has witnessed have brought what wars have always brought--disturbances, unrest and a feeling of general insecurity—that's the Industry and mutual trade-useful pursuits of peace--are the way of all wars. endeavours in the opposite direction. This concern has argued whenever it could, that free access, free intercourse and trade between peoples, contributes to peace and friendliness and security nd takes the tension off where diplomata seem to fail. For, when all is sald and done, people want the opportunity to work for a living. Trade and industry, free and untrammelled, not only con- tributes to that opportunity, but is a way of life. Vessels of our Line are plainly marked and can be recognized easily when they sail in and out of the principal ports of the world, and we like to feel that they are practical symbols of this philosophy: Isbrandtsen
