Perhaps the most recent manifestation oE this was the landslide victory for the Macmillan government in the face of the pollsters' unqualified forecast that the race would be neck-and- neck. Another product of the new British prosperity is the liberalization of important restraints just now beginning to make itself felt in the world market. The overwhelming majority of imports from all sources other than Japan, the Soviet bloc and China are free after 20 years of restrictions under the new British policy that went into effect Nov. 9.

Hundreds of items, including such hitherto sensitive articles as automobiles, textiles, tailored clothing and scientific instruments can now be brought into the British Isles. Other items on the list include: Additional types of machinery, electrical equipment, glass fiber, oil, amusement machinery, laboratory and decorated glassware, wire cloth, stockings, stationery, sports goods, toys, cutlery, imitation jewelry, paper articles, parking meter clocks, photographic and movie equipment and film, jewelry, precious stones, gold and silver goods, worked stone and lace, fresh and frozen salmon, fresh citrus fruit except grapefruit. IT ISN'T SURPRISING that this has caused an immediate stir in the trading centers of the world. The fact that Britain is returning to her traditional role as world banker and trader is significant news.

The receipt of American aid made possible some imports in Britain but close control of imports by licensing continued to be necessary. BRITAIN is so situated that she has to depend on import for the greater part of her food and raw materials for industry Priorities had to be established to make sure that the scarce foreign currency was spent in such a manner as to bring in only essential imports.

IN HIS TALKS with the heads of other nations and in about 30 public addresses during his tour, Eisenhower is expected to spell out free world objectives for negotiations which may lead to a summit conference with the Soviets next year. Although he has only a little more than 13 months remaining in office, there is no feeling here that Eisenhower is likely to encounter any lame duck treatment in dealing with European, Asiatic and African heads of states. Sen. John Sparkman a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in an interview "I suppose some of these heads of states may have it in the back of their minds that we are going to have a new President they will have to deal with in 1961.

But I don't expect the President to make any long-range commitments in these talks. "As I get it, this tour is de signed to show that we want to be a good neighbor to the other nations of the world."
