Smiths Are Preponderant The Smiths, according to the 1916 voters' list, can, if they feel ap to It, present a solid fftmt of 20 ballots, which, if you multiply the number of Smiths by the number of seats, mounts up to 220 X's. The combined Johnsons with their variations, can lend even more voting weight, because they ' total 34. and. therefore, would tally 374 X's but a breakdown Into their spelling classifications ; would sort of disorganize the 'total. The Johnsons lead with ' 16 voters, while the Johnstones re next with lour; inercaner 'come the Johanscns, Johansons, Johnsens and Johnstons with three each, followed by the Jonassons and Jonssons with one each. The Andersons and Andersens aren't far behind the Smiths, in combined numbers, 'but when split up they lag somewhat. There are 15 Andersons and five Andersons. A similar fate befalls the Hansons and Hansons, the latter dominating with 12 voters, and the Hansons having only two.

Germany, in defeat and ruin at the heart of Europe, continues to create the most critical problems. Four-power control of the Reich has not been .a motablc success. The Potsdam agree- n a - ment that Germany be treated! as an economic whole has not) been canted out. Britain and the United States, by an economic merger of their two zones, have sought to apply this principle cf their own, but Russia and France will not co-operate for various reasons. There have been differences over economic policy between the Soviet control authorities on one hand and the British and American on the other, on sub jects ranging from the level of German production to removal of factories on reparations Only limited progress has been made in getting Germany's industries going and the situation in the Ruhr on which many European countries depend for coal and steel is desperate. Vlversc Effect Upon Continent . Confusion and Instability in Germany has had an adverse effect on the whole continent. In Austria, the other four-power occupied country, economic conditions are better than in Germany, but there are still plenty of problems both for the V'cnna government and the con-trcl authority. Italy made more progress toward recovery in 1946 than was generally anticipated, but has a long way to go before Indus; try can absorb the large num bcr of unemployed and trade is resumed on a profitable scale. The economy of Greece is In a pitiable state and 'will depend for its comeback to a large extent on assistance in loans, credits and trade with western countries. Within the Soviet sphere' or influence in. eastern Europe; Czechoslovakia has done th'e.bost job In Industry, commerce and finance. H e r nationalization scheme has progressed and pro duction and trade are steadily Increasing. Euonomlc troubles are. .grave, however, for Poland. Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. In western Europe, France has tried stubbornly through the year to mend her economic fences and has made considerable progress; but distribution problems, the black market, currency instability and scarcities harry the nation. High hopes are being placed on '.new economic understanding with Britain. Belgium has led all Europe in her economic revival and Ls almost as prosperous today as the bountiful neutrals Switzerland and Sweden. But Brussels Is concerned at the extremely high prices In the country, jartlcu-larly as they affect export trade. (Continued on r'age 3) 9 vote MUR Tomorrow mi 4
