Small Catch, Slim Prices. Jahre made his choice on economic grounds. To outfit and dispatch the factory ship and catcher boats that make up a whaling expedition costs about $3,000,000 a season. In a good year, the catch of whales can return many times that amount in meat and oil. But despite the efforts of an international whaling commission, whalers have so depleted the Antarctic that catches today are uneconomically small. Ten years ago, factory ships sent to sea by Norwegian owners processed 905,000 barrels of oil from 31,000 whales in one season. Last year...

The Washington Post does not intend to back...

It works less well once the party leaders don their bowler hats, pick up their dispatch cases and move into Whitehall. Then the unions naturally enough expect their reward. But the responsibilities of ruling Britain seldom enable a socialist government to do all it would like for the workingman. The result is an inevitable clash, and it has seldom been more acrimonious than it is today...
