The Inside Track in Washington

WASHINGTON. Jan. s. The
President is thinking seriously a.
bout issuing proclamation set
ting up a labor board TO prevent
strikes in defense industries when
generalization won't settle disputes.
This would bring into operation
a modern version of the 1918 War
Labor Board. which functioned ef-
fectively in strike prevention. To-
days idea comes. naturally enough
from Jett Lauck. who was secretary
of the 1918 board and who is now
consulting economist for the CLIO.
United Mine Workers and other
labor groups. Lauck argues the
President now has ample legal au
thoritiy to set up such board and
give it power to act.
Defense Commissioner Sidn e y
Hillman recently asked for and got
a copy of Lauck's proposal to the
president and is now giving it study.
Edward F.. McGrady, former secre-
tary of labor now serving as trouble
shooter for the War Department
on labor problems. has privately
endorsed the plan.

THIS IS NO TIME
TO GO HOG-WILD

Nobody Is going to complain about
federal expenditures in the new budget
for national defense measures.
Whatever complaining is done about
new taxes made necessary by national
defense requirements will be more in
the nature of good natured railing at
fate.
National non defense expenditures
called for in the budget are another thing.
They are estimated at six billion, 674
million dollars. Total national income
for the same period is estimated at eight
billion, 275 million dollars
That leaves us with the necessity of
borrowing all the money we must spend
on defense. We barely break even on
normal, peace time expenses - even
though national income is soaring rapid
ly.
Why?
Because fixed charges on the national
debt piled up during the last eight years
eat up all the savings which otherwise
would have been possible under a restOr
ed national income Don't take our word
for it. That is what the President said
in his budget message.
The implication is tragic, from the
fiscal standpoint.
The debt we contracted during the
last eight years is costing us so much
in interest and other fixed charges that,
even with record high national income,
we would not be able to do more than
break even.
When we have added to the present
fixed charges the ones that will accrue
from the necessary defense borrowing
now, it can readily be seen that the day
is coming when no amount of economy
in the world will be able to balance our
national budget. Fixed charges alone
will keep it out Of balance.
Wailing about the financial mistakes
of the last eight years is not going to
help, however The only thing that will
help is a publicly enforced, rigid econ
omy in federal and state governments.
Of all times, this is the time when we
are most likely to overlook other govern
ment expenditures because we realize
so pointedly that defense spending is
necessary. And, of all times, this is the
time when we should not overlook other
expenditures. If we are to enjoy any
sort Of secure national economic future,
this is the time we must demand that
our government economiZe, no matter
who it hurts nor what ideologies it tosses
out the window.
Let's not go hog wild about every
thing, just because we're in the middle
of a national emergency.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-01-09
LIMIT THE DEBT

The primary worth of debt limit,
President Roosevelt said in his budget
message, is stop-look-and-listen signal
to keep mounting federal expenditures
before the public eye.
1t is difficult to reconcile that state
ment with his request. voiced in the same
part of his message that congress remove
the statutory limit entirely from the
national indebtedness.
Within the Presidents own reasoning,
he is asking congress to remove the one
thing which, he believes, serves to call
mounting federal expenditures to public
attention.
There can be no doubt now that an
increased ceiling must be placed on the
national debt We cannot operate more
than very few months under the pres
ent limit We are caught in the middle
of bad situation, in which more and
greater expenditures are absolutely nee
essary on top of others which-although
of questionable necessity-has been in
Cured. There is nothing we can do
about that.
What we can do is to keep the warn
ing signal before us, by keeping some
sort Of limit on the debt.

FIVE PRINCIPALS
GUIDED BOARD

Lauck argues todays problem is
much like that of World War days,
and that there is no sense duplicat-
ing the whole year which elapsed
in the World War before fair
method of preventing work stop
pages was worked out
In the last war both the War
and Navy Departments maintained
generalization services, in addition to
the one which operates under the
Labor Department. None proved
able to keep production going. At
President wilson's request, leaders
of labor and industry met in jan
uary, 1918. to work out a new plan.
The War Labor Board, which Will
son established by proclamation just
one year after war had been de
clared, was the result
The board operated on these
principles:

industry. and Frank Walsh, repre-

bers equally representing capital

any dispute. but unless both sides
agreed in advance to accept its de-
cision, its finding had to be unan-
imous If the board couldn't be-
come unanimous, an umpire nomi-
mated by the President would rem

Technically the board had no
power to enforce its decisions. Ac-
tually, it was backed by all of the
Presidents wartime powers, There
