Swope on Britain's Labor Victory and Its Global Echoes
Herbert Bayard Swope argues the British Labour victory signals a move toward socialization in key sectors but not communism. He expects gentler shifts in foreign policy, greater Indian self governance, and more international trade cooperation with possible cartelization and subsidies to protect markets.

Ford and workers power America toward a rich future
A essay extols Henry Ford and his millions of co workers for building wealth and jobs under private enterprise. It contrasts the seven figures of wages from 1849 to 1939, notes capital investment behind each factory job, and criticizes avarice while urging unity between labor and management for national growth. It rebukes policy debates and hints at postwar geopolitics with reference to Russia and Japan.
