...Tories, the parallel seemed perfect. The present Liberal government was in its 14th year of continuous power. It had a new head in Prime Minister St. Laurent, but it was essentially a continuation of William Lyon Mackenzie King's administration. The fact that St. Laurent was a French-Canadian made the parallel look even better to the Tories; once again Quebeckers had rejected one of their...
Coached by Harry Dallmar, a former All-American who now plays with the Philadelphia Warriors, Penn is big and fast. The Quakers are led by Sam Lyon, a six-foot four-inch center and perhaps the best in the League. His left-hand hook shot has averaged 16 points a game. Besides height, the team has an excellent set shot artist in Phil Harman...

Lancashire v. Lyon. What had happened to Western Union? Last year, Winston Churchill had grandly advocated the "grand design." All that Europe heard from Britain on the subject now was what one U.S. newsman called "the dull plop-plop" of Ernie Bevin's speeches, urging step-by-step progress. A British M.P. last week explained: "The French plan is an effort to pass on to some kind of European government the problems which the French government has so much trouble solving. Some call it 'escapism.' I prefer to call it the search for a short...
British planners illustrate the point this way. In any effective European federation, tariff barriers would come down. That might mean, under a free economy, that some inefficient Lancashire textile plant would close down while production would be expanded in a Lyon factory, better situated for general European trade. In a planned economy (which Britain's Socialist government considers indispensable to Western Union), the Lancashire-Lyon shift would be the subject of a formal government decision. It would come up for discussion in the kind of assembly the French want (say the British), and it would stir up nationalist resentment...
