very direct effect upon prices in
the industries concerned. You
can't put a jack under an automo-
bile, start raising the jack, and ex-
pect the car to stay at exactly the
same height.
No one really concerned with the
imitation danger wants to see these
points passed over lightly in the
testimony. There is feeling that
it would be easier politically to
put a ceiling on prices than to put
one on the factors that go into
making up prices. The onyly tron-
BILE is that in doing so, an eco
nomic law would be so badly vio-
lated that no workable result
would have been achieved.
The President himself. has said
virtually the last word on this diff.
cult subject of prices. Here's Mr..
Roosevelt's analysis:
There cannot be price stability
il labor; costs rise abnormally--
Labor has far more to gain from
price stability than from abnormal
wage increases, for these are likely
to be illusory and quickly over
taken by sharp rises in living
cost. -.
Labor as a whole, fares best
from labor policy which ,recog-
nizes that wages in the defense in
dustries should not substantially
exceed the prevailing wage rates in
comparable non-defense industries
where fair labor practices have
been maintained"
Facing facts like those would be
a good start towards handling the
little man upon the stair"-the
danger of imitation.

Leon Henderson, sponsor of the
original measure on which hear
ings were opened, made it clear in
his testimony that he thought Con-
gress would enact wage control Tor
wage ceiling) legislation within the
year. But he did not advocate this
as part of his own price control
bill, apparently feeling that wages
should be regulated by some other
government agency than the one
which he himself heads. In other
words, he contends that wage con-
troll and price control are two diff
ferent problems. &
This approach is reminiscent of
the old story about the man who
kicked his companion in the leg
and then asked, "Why does your
mouth cry out when it's your shin
that's been hurt?" Economists are
pointing out in connection. with
the price hearings a fact that
ought to be clear even to laymen:
that wages are factor in deter
mining prices, and that if fy wages
rise considerably, prices will rise

From this point of view, facts on
wages are being studied here with
extreme care. Thus, for example,
the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics has reported that aver
age wage increases for the first six
months of 1941 ranged from 4.9 per
cent to 9.6 per cent, affecting more
than 2A million workers in more
than five thousand manufacturing

Fascists quarters were not entirely

Retaliatory measures were con-

properties as the Socony Vacuum
Oil refinery at Naples probably
would be sequestrated.
