Beaver's Policy
As Britain's Lord Privy Seal and specialist in postwar aviation, empire-loving Lord Beaverbrook now energetically pretends that he controls his world's-biggest London Daily Express (circ. more than 3,000,000) by telepathy only. But most Britons saw the Beaver's lusty individualism in a characteristically belligerent front-page editorial which appeared last week, headed "A Policy for the People," subtitled "The Policy of the Daily Express" The policy:
1) "Build Up Full Production and Employment. For this purpose make use of government resources. Trade cycles should be smoothed out by government action.
2) "Increase Food Production for the Purpose of Full Employment. Agriculture must be expanded so that Britain produces all her own food supplies, with the exception of wheat. . . .
3) "Full Support Must Be Given to Small and Independent Enterprise. . .
4) "There Should Be No Monopolies, No Combines, No Cartels. . .
5) "No Regimentation, Either from the Right or from the Left. . . .
6) "Equality of Opportunity. This involves education for all, and the abolition of the public [i.e., private] schools. . . ."
