TObin Tells President
Workers Are Loyal

Washington, D. C.-Daniel j. Tobin,
president of the international Broth
erhood of Teamsters, informed Presi-
dent Roosevelt at a luncheon confer
ence in the White House that proposed
anti-strike legislation would not be
effective in keeping defense workers
on their jobs.
Such legislation would be harmful
and unnecessary, Mr.. Tobin said, be-
cause American workers are patriotic
and will do everything in their power
to avoid strikes in the defense pro-
gram if they are accorded square
deal.

Keeping
Ahead Of
the Times
By Mary Moore

The puritan collar in pique or en-
broidered organdie is very fattering
and demure. Lace and organdie yolks
are seen on many of the new print
dresses.
Wear pique or organdie revers un-
der the fabric revers of your dress or
suit. A fan-pleated ruffie underneath
gives very new and flattering touch
and has the further advantage of
keeping clean longer.
Elaborate sailor collars made for the
new deep v neckline are especially
smart for evening wear.

slavement threatens the freedom Of
mankind.
The democracies must find a way
to mobilize their strength within the
framework of free institutions in
manner to give an effective reply to
the challenge of totalitarianism or
eventually they will be driven to
totalitarian methods. The history
of the Goth century failures of de-
mocracies is replete with inadequate
measures to meet extraordinary sit
uations. Our national defense pro-
gram must be our foremost concern
and, therefore, we must take every
necessary step for the effective mo-
bilization of our national strength.
Failure to control prices will i'm
pair the efficiency of our defense

ingS of the law of supply and de-
mand. In wartime the normal COM

replace the law of supply and de-
mand with administrative control.
There is no alternative If the ends

deeply committed there can be no
thought of turning back. Every
day lost in effecting the full mobil-
ization Of our resources means a
greater length of this war This Is
no piddling issue. 1t may mean
the lives of hundreds Of thousands
of our boys and it may mean the
difference in victory or defeat.
Drastic controls are necessary II
imitation and runaway prices are
to be prevented. Though a price
control law in and Of itself will
not insure us against the dangers
of imitation. effective control OF
prices is the principal weapon with
which to combat imitation.
The administration price control
bill was introduced in August. After
long hearings, the House Banking
and Currency Committee has re-
ported the bill with amendments.
1t now awaits action by the House
of Representatives.
Invitation to Initiation.
The administration bill, as intro
duced, was inadequate to check the
rising cost of living and prevent
imitation. I consider the bill which
the committee reported an open
invitation to imitation.
The administration bill, as intro
duced and as reported by the COM
mittee, contemplates the placing OF
ceilings over commodities on Sc
lective basis. This means that the
price administrator will select cer-
tain commodities on which he will
impose price ceilings by administra-
tive decree.
I do not believe the selective or
piecemeal method will be effective
and have proposed a substitute bill
to place price ceiling over all COM
modities by law.
One fundamental difference be-
tween the overall and piecemeal
method is that the selective or
piecemeal method leaves the general
price level free to rise, whereas the
application Of general overall CELL
ing would call halt to the rise of
general prices. Initiation does not
come about because of selected price
rises. 1t is the product of a general
price level runaway and if initiation
is to be prevented, we must call a
halt to the rise of general prices
There are we'll over one million
commodities. 1t has been said that
there are 10000 in the Sears
Roebuck catalogue. This will serve to
illustrate how utterly futile woulo
be the attempt to control the gen.
Evening star., 1941-11-11

eral price level by selecting a few
over which ceilings would be placed.
It would be like trying to prevent a
general growth of forest by chop
ping down a few of the big trees
The more big trees you cut down,
the faster the others grow toward
the sky.
Pressure Moves Others Up.
When a ceiling is placed on a
commodity, thereby limiting profits
on that particular commodity. pro-
ducers apparently move away from
the ceiling and do business where
there is no ceiling. And thus the
pressure is put on the substitutes
to rise.
To try to hold the general price
level In check by placing checks
upon a selected few is like trying
to keep the grass from growing on
a Western ranch by sitting down
on the high places.
Long before the administrator, by
selective methods, could call any
appreciable halt to the inf1ationary
spiral by broadening his control
over selected commodities, the CELL
ings which he originally fixed would
have to be re-eXamined and ref1Xed.
The refixing is always upward. And
what would be happening to the
general price level all the while?
1t would be going up practically
unaffected by the selective method.
France and Great Britain tried the
selective method of price control
during the World War. 1t did not
prevent imitation in either nation.
Great Britain has again tried the
selective method of price control in
the present war and, again, 1t has
been a failure.
Tried Also in u. S.
The selective method was tried
in the United States during the
World War and likewise proved
futile to save us from imitation. The
War Industries Board instituted
price ceilings on basic commodities
In 1917, and from 1917 to 1918 the
price level of these ceiling controlled
commodities was actually lowered;
but during the same identical period
the general price level went out the
ceiling.
Canada, our friendly neighbor to
our north with common trans
continental boundary line, has tried
selective price control during this
war. They have already discarded

Representative Gore, in
Forum, Says Pay Also
Must Have Ceiling

Price control as means of pre-
venting initiation was the topic of
the Radio Forum address last
night of Representative Gore, Dem
ocrat, of Tennessee, a member of
the House Banking Committee.
The forum, arranged by The Star
ard broadcast over a National
Broadcasting Co. network, was
heard locally over Station WMAL
The text of Mr.. Cores address
follows:
Prices are rising. Every house
wife knows that the cost of living is
going up. Unless our Government
acts boldly and effectively a wild
initiation may soon be upon us.
We must remember that a period
of initiation is followed by period
Of def1ation. Either or both eX-
tremes bring to people a loss of
confidence in their Government,
doubts of the economic system and
resentment to the existing order,
all of which are seeds of unrest and
revolution. Out of such economic
dislocation and chaos truly come
the real threats to democracy and
government.
A drastic rise in the cost of living
undermines the morale of the peo-
pie. It creates unrest because of
deprivation, suffering and sense
of insecurity on the one hand and
profiteering on the other. The
rising cost of living promotes strikes
in our defense industries which,
according to the o. P. M, 'is the
greatest help the aggressors can get
In these days when material on the

A Devastating Enemy.
Indeed, initiation might we'll be
so disastrous under the impetus
of unprecedented expenditures that
our whole economy and social order
might suffer severe deterioration
though no enemy's foot ever tram
pies our shores.
The Government repeatedly plans
10 spend S50000,000 1000 for war pro-
duction next year. This sum would
be three to four times as much as
our military expenditures this year.
What will this do to our economy?
How long will we be engaged in
such tremendous war effort? The
