AFTER AN eight year of the state of British ju.stice.

a parliamentary committee is proposing changes designed to correct an imbalance which, in the concerned view of law enforcers, has been weighted too heavily in favor of the lawbreaker, Sound very familiar? Not too surprisingly, considering the common origins of the two systems and the increasing homogeneitv of the western world in general, Britain has been wrestling with many of the same moral and legal dilemma.s as has the United States. This is the Britain of (he popularly pictured law abiding population, low crime rate, cial sy.stem combining efficiency with scrupulous respect for individual rights and the unarmed bobby who is everyone's best friend.

in fact, rebuffing the somewhat tarnished public image is a major goal of the reform propo.sals. The major ccommcndations include modifying requirements that police warn suspects against statements that may ix? used against them, limiting a suspect's right to remain silent. admission of hearsay evidence and permitting testimony of wives against hirsbands. The proposals are strongly opposed by British civil liberty organizations, again similar to the experience. Parliament, however, is rxpec-ted eventually to enact a mtxlificri revision measure.

Still Lose Oil jMoiiev JMarket Somehovc, it all sounds familiar.

The Bntish pound weakens and in the ensuing confusion on world money markets, the dollar also comes under pressure. Money managers of the major strong currency nations demand that both governments concerned put their financial houses in order and cease exporting problems. -Meanwhile, fears of a new wave of devaluations further undermine confitlenre in the smaller and weaker currencies. If there is a sense of having hixm through this before, there is grMxi reason. The or something ery like it, was plaxed out a number of times before last Smitiisonian agreements.

NAMED FOR VVVSHI.NiiTON'S Smithsonian Institution where the conference of the world leading trading and monetary powers took place, this first thoroughgoing currency realignment since World War II was supposed tn call a halt to the recurring, and increasingly frequent, currency nt recf'nt years. Key st('p was fai-to devaluation of the dollar by reducing its value in terms of gold, from $.35 an ounce tn $.38 an ouiict a move which Congress finally got around to legislating a few weeks ago. Devaluation was supposed not only to put the rfollar into a more realistic balance with other currencies but to sharpen its competitive edge, making IJ. S. products less expensive and thereby spurring sales on world markets and correcting an increa.singly unfavorable balance of payments.

So here w'e are. a bare six months post- Smithsonian and pretty much back where we stalled. A.s the French say, and they have an unpleasant habit of saying a great deal in these situations. "The more things change According to a Treasury spokesman, the problems not the Smithsonian arrangements. That is an opinion which had host bt' sold to new Common Market colleagues, who arc re.siiming a hard nosed attitude toward both the pound and the dollar.

was the fxipular term for the administration's key weapon in curbing the inherent inflationary tendencies of its guns and butter economic policy persuading U.S. indu.stry and labor to hold hack on price- wage increases without resorting to controls. THE PRESENT admini.sfration also has tried jawhoning. hut directed abroad in former Trea.sury Secretary John persuasion of other major trading nations to accept a U.S. devaluation and other corrective measures which most thought inadequate to the need.

Not until some months later, with the iiistitu- tinn of price and wage controls, did President Nixon reluctantly move on the home front. Meanwhile, it has been export import business as usual. Despite devaluation, the United States has continiKxi to run trade deficits million in alone, the second largest monthly deficut in history, and million in May. With exports lagging behind imports by $2.7 billion so far. 1972 is shaping up as the worst trade year ever.

Economists like to take the long view of these matters. Remidies such as the United States ha.s imposid may require some time to take etfect. up to a year or more. Rut eventually they bring an economy back into balance. We must certainly hope so.

The Fischer Gambit By Ralph Novak We have seen over the past few days the creation of something new in chess, the F'scher gambit.

Coincidentally the South Dakota Democratic Partv was in thp doldrums-it had to grow or fold. There were onh two Democrats among the 110 members of the state legislature.

There are remarkable parallels between what AlcGnvern did in Soi.th D.a’«:ota in tne mid and what he accomplished nationwide this year to capture his most presidential nomination. Both efforts succec'de'd against impo.ssible odds Both employed the painstaking, method- ieal.

Both overcame persistent efforts on the part of opponents to tar McGovern as a dangerous radical, a Sacialist. a if not an outright Communist TO McGovern, the man and the public figure, it is perhaps most revealing to look clnselv at his initial campaign in fnr South F'irst Congrnssinnal Distr-ct seat then held by Republican Harold O.

Lnvre attempted to pin a label on him because of his 1948 support of Henry Wallace as Progressive Party candidate for president. He said McGovern was promoting Socialism through support of nationalization of banks, railroads, airlines, utilities and the like. McGovern kissed it off simply hv claiming there was more to the campaign than trying in prove which man was the most anti Communist. He hit his Congresssiona! record of votes against the interests of the rural electriii- c.ation nrngram and atomic energy development. He argued that South Dakota needc-d a strong Dcmocraiic voice in Congress to countc.n act the anti farmer program of then Agrirulture Seere- tarv Ezra T.ift Rnnsnn.

A religious, humane ner- son whose qualities prompted the late Sen.

I would have sent them to the nearest shrink. A preacher teacher from a small.

Pvongvaiiff Wants Tie To West By Ray Cromley ashtngton North Kim II Sung is caught in a hind between Ru.ssia and China And suffering severe economic problems.

Up to now he has been aided by the rivalry heween these two countries and by his own adroitness. There is new evidence that the pressures have now become ton great Like Man tung in his fear of Russia.

North Kim needs a connection with the West to balance against the two Communist giants. HE NEED.S economic accnmmnd.ab'nn to lessen his dopendence on Russia and China for an aid which is uncertain and tied heavily with strings He requires some sort of military accommodation with South Korea to cut back on his defense burden, which is overloading his economv and making him too dependent on Aln.scnw and Peking. Kim, fnr all his communism, has a deadly fe.ar of domination hv either Russia or China, even though he rrnortedly holds, or once held, Russian citizenship. Curinuslv enough, it understood frnm contacts in Tokyo and Hong Kong that both ATos- cow and Peking fnr reasons of their own. have also been urging Kim to make these accommodations.

hope, these reports sav. is that those Western contacts will weaken North relations with Peking. Peking, presumably has the same hope in reverse. -ANY EVENT, other Tokyo rontacts report the eagerness with which Pyongvang has been seeking economic deals with Japan and South F'oreh. and putting nut feelers toward economic accommodations with the West in a variety of areas.

The thinking is that North Korea would like we.stern technical and monetary aid and clnsor contacts generally for the eronomic and fear of Sino-Soviet imperiali.sm reasons noted above. Officials in the Nixon administration say it is not necessary to put trust in Kim 11 Sung to see the opDortunities this opening to the West offers.

THE THEORA' is that every move toward independence by a Communist nation, however small, is insurance against a Communist front that could endanger the United St.ntes and its alh'rs and other nations large and small around the world Though North Korea may not a major factor in world affairs, is hoped here that it could set an example for other cour.aging them to resist Communist pressures.
