Quilts Statement

Power often goes to a mans
head. One labor leader. Michael
j. Quill. head of the CIO Trans
port Workers Union. which
stopped bus traffic in New York
City. manifestly imagines that
he can dictate TO the city gov
eminent, that he can intimidate
any workman who chooses to
work when Mr., Quill does not
want him TO work.
Listen to this proclamation to
his union:
"If the company attempts to
operate coaches with scabs we
will expect you to see that they
do not steal your wages. We call
on the mayor of the City of New
York not to give police protec-
tiOn TO scabs, because the opera
ton of buses with scabs can
result only in trouble, and we
hope they will not be the cause
OF that trouble.

we might have a public funeral

good. Washington is actively
considering how to curb labor
disturbances. What effect are
current events in New York

Only in Emergency

And lest we assume that
these truths are applicable only
TO an emergency period, let it
be recalled that just as a nation
in time of war crisis relies on
industry for its sinews of de-
tense. so in time of peace it
equally depends on the same
facilities for production to
heighten the material well-being
of the people through creating
more and better things.
In connection with the settle
ment of the Bethlehem strike,
this column pointed out just
prior to the March 7 White
House press conference the APP
parent difference in the manner
in which the administration
placed emergency inhibitions on
capital and labor. 1t was

Hits Postwar

BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, n. \. University
One Of the most interesting
aspects Of the whole national
defense program is the way the
thing grows and broadens out.
To use the jsrgon of the quack
social scientist. national defense
promises 10 become "a way of
life"
This appears not only in the
growing mess of regulations of

and more or less directly related

cncy to begin planning for the
post-emergency period - the
post-emergency emergencies!
Almost before we are started
TO prepare for war, we are asked
10 authorize the President in
advance 10 prepare for peace.
And in the same breath we are
told that really the two things
are the same. We are told that
military defense under these
conditions becomes in reality
economic and social defense"

Toll for Taxes

Quite some time ago the two
Hartford brothers at the head of
the Atlantic and Pacific stores
revealed that out of every dollar
of their personal income they
paid in taxes 81 cents and SO
cents respectively - also that,
taking inheritance taxes into
consideration, for every dollar
they might add to their fortune
they would be able to bequeath
only 6 cents.
In other words. they were toll
ing mostly for tax gatherers.
President John A. Hartford
now issues some extremely in
teresting facts. Growers and
shippers of fresh fruits and
vegetables today get Is per cent

President Roosevelt. in his
present eagerness for national
unity. brings to mind the
preachments of that great
American economist, the late
Henry Carey of Philadelphia.
who emphasized the harmony of
interests of all groups in a
nation.
The dramatic pressure of war
aid brings out the truth that
American strength is height
ened by inter-group harmony.
If this principle is true in war
time, it is equally authentic in
time of peace. On the other
hand. class warfare, sectional
jealousies. and other divisions
always tend to weaken the ma
ton. TO reduce its productivity.
and TO impair its living stand
ards.

Flows From Farmers

Prosperity flows when farm
ers. factory workers and the
service groups are in balanced
income relationship to one an
other. so that they can fully
employ one another by inter-
changing the products of their
years labor. The traditionalist
who falsely pictures agriculture
at war with industry is out of
step with modern conditions.
Farmers and factory workers
are the reciprocal customers of
one another. and both benefit
from the well-being of the other
group. Likewise, labor thrives
under conditions of national bal
ance in which capital tthe
tools) are fully employed and
are sufficiently compensated to
induce fresh savings TO provide
additional facilities for the fu-
ture.
My point is that the reality
of the harmony of interests Of
the groups is not a special war;
time phenomenon. but it exists
always in prosaic as we'll as
in heroic periods.

Two Points Of Plan

There are two aspects of this
SiX-year plan for postwar emer-
gencies. or post-emergency war
ton depression. that obviously
call for our careful considera-
ton. One is the expense. The
other is the growing concen-
tration of power in the Execu-
tive. The first is the cost in
terms of labor and time. The
second is the cost in terms of
individual freedom-the only
kind of freedom that means any
thing.
Who is going to pay for all
this? The new six-year plan is
full of talk about appropriations,
grants. loans. and funds. But
what is TO be used for money?
We have at last been told
the truth, namely that we must
sacrifice TO win the war. Our
treasury is struggling to find
some way of raising more bill
lions or dollars-billions by
NdAtNf anu DlliloIlS ny DOil lIlT
or debt. A billion dollars has
come TO mean about as much as
a political platform plank. We
are just giving 7 nils-let's call
them bills for short-to Britain.
Now it is proposed TO give "ad-
vance authorization for huge
public works, and to make APP
preparations for advance pur-
chase of sites"
In other words. just as we
are now shunting normal bust
ness activity into defense cham
nels, and subordinating bust
nesS-as-usual TO defense emer-
gency effort; so after this passes
we will be building dams. water
ways. roads. and buildings of
all sorts which won't bring in a
nickel of revenue. No individ-
ual would pay for these things.

Roosevelt Statement

President Roosevelt a lmost
Immediately there after pro-
ceeded in an effort to make it
crystal clear that he is Chief
Executive of all the people-not
merely the leader of any one
party nor of any favored eco
nomic group. AT the press con-
ference on March 7, the
President sketched his concept
of an emergency labor board
which might reduce strikes
through timely mediation. And.
subsequently, in his address be-
fore the White House Core
spondents ISOLATION, Mr..
Roosevelt used precise language
to indicate that what was sauce
for the goose (capital) would
also be sauce for the gander
(labor).
Speaking of necessary sacri-
fees under the lease-lend legis-
lation, the President said:
"YOu will have to be content
with lower profits from business
because obviously your taxes
will be higher.
You will have to work longer
at your bench, or your plOw, or
your machine or your desk"
And again in the same speech,
Mr.. Roosevelt linked restraint in
profit making with sobriety in
using the power to strike. He
said: The determination of
America must not and will not
be obstructed by war profiteer-
ing.
1T must not be constructed
by unnecessary strikes Of
workers, by shOrt-sighted man.
