MEN PAST 40
Riverside PreSS)

(RlVerSlde PreSS)
At this time last year, the year before,
and the year before that, the man past
40 was as Unnecessary, economically speak

ion panic comes along and Judgment is
apt to suffer a bit. So the man with his
first gray hairs and broadening girth, re-

came to be more of liability than an

Today, with times bettered by defense
activities, employers are finding out
something they knew all along if they had
thought about it men with years OF tram

them, possess the most valuable of all

ployment agency. 1t is good news Tor

And good news for the men of the USA

Today trained men are in such demand
that there is a serious shortage in many

HENRY FORD ACTS
wall Street JournaD

(Wall Street JournaD
No one ever accused Henry Ford of
doing Cor saying) things by halves, least
of all in his relations with labor. Nor has
he done it in his agreement with the CIO
union. Without benefit of mediation, of
arbitration or any intervention of outside
parties since the workers election, he has
swiftly come to terms with labor and
done SO without qualifications or reser-
vations. Not only has he met all the un-
ions demands but for good measure he
threw in the union shop and the check
off, which were not included in those de-
mands.
All things considered, this settlement
may stand alone in the record of labor
disputes since the passage of the Labor
Relations Act. 1t is no doubt great 'vic-
tory for organized labor, but it is no
defeat for Ford, no defeat, that is, in
the ordinary sense Of the word A man
is not defeated when he recognizes the
inevitable, promptly and fully adjusts
himself to its necessities and does it with
out whimpering, wrangling, or attempted
reservations. All will agree that he
marches out of the citadel with the "hon-
ors of war;.
1t will be interesting, now, to see how
the union will use its conquests. They
open for it an ideal opportunity for prac-
tlcal craftsmanship on great scale. Let
us hope that the opportunity will be
graSped.

WHERE RELIGION IS FREE

: Almost half OF the population OF the
United States now belongs to one or the
other of $50 churches or religious bodies
which flourish under our free institu-
tions
This church membership has been
steadily growing, according to the 194i
Yearbook of American Churches, and the
bare figures speak eloquently of the posi-
tion of religion in society where all
men are free to worship God according
to conscience.
Despite occasional small frictions,
these 64,501 ,594 members of $50 churches
live, generally speaking, in harmony with
each other, and with the 68,O0O,O0O who
are without such affiliation Each of the
$50 churches has an equal right to win
new converts as it can, and most of them
are doing it. Such situation is one of
Americas finest contributions to civili-
zation. Here, too, as in so many other
fields, freedom is a priceless possession.

JUST A LITTLE MATTER
OF PRICES

From this all-too- simple eX-
planation, it can be seen that there
Is fundamental difference in
viewpoint. SNlA buys at distress
prices. AAA despises the idea of
distress prices and guarantees high
prices to the farmers VINO play
along with its program.
Threatening to bring the conflict
to a showdown is a little measure
known as the Gore amendment to
the Steagall bill, which has been
receiving attention of Congress
these Last few months. The Stea-
gall bill is banking bill to pro-
long the life of the Commodities
Credit Corporation, and the Gore
amendment has nothing to do with
banking, but that's the funny way
congressman sometimes get things
done. What the amendment would
provide is that no federal funds
could be used to purchase agri-
cultural products.
Now the Gore amendment may
not get any place, but it is impor-
tant because it is an attempt to
put over law that would apply
the parity principle to crops otncr
than the big five.
II general legislation to that ef-
feet were ever put on the books
1t would do all sorts of things. It
would give the farmers higher
prices for everything they raised,
which would be nice for the farm
ers, but it would unquestionably
raise the cost of living for others.
And it would wreck the operations
CT the Surplus Marketing Admipis-
tfatlon. as well as other federal
activities like the Commodities
Credit Corporation and even the
iood stamp plan.
1t would mean that when ever
the government went into The mar

Tor export, It would have to pay
tull parity prices on everything,

poultry and dairy products, Or
which the government has asked
farmers to step up production. It
would cost taxpayers no telling how
many more millions of dollars.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-06

Inspiration for this idea of apply
ing the parity principle to all farm
products not just the big five, now
stemb, principally from the American
Farm Bureau Federation which has
been advocating full parity for ev-
erything for years. In the last cleo
ton AFBF went whole hog for
Willkic because its leaders thought
Roosevelt wasn't giving enough en-
couragement to the full parity idea.
With WILKES defeat, some po-
litical dopesters thought hFBF Was
dead, but the organization went
right on with its drive for fullS
parity on the five basic crops, and
what's more, put it over in what
economy congressman from nom
agricultural districts call the great
est grab in the history of the
American congress.
Today, the Farm Bureau Fedora
ton is rated rs one of the most
influential lobbies in Washington.
hFBF sends kilograms TO congress-
men by the score, and it never
misses a trick where the farmers
interests are concerned operating
on the simple philosophy that with
everybody else getting something
from the government, the farmer
is entitled to hiS'n.
Its efforts tend to aid the big
farmer more than the little farmer.
AAA and the parity program favor
the big farmer perhaps 10 to l.
SMA, Commodities Credit Corpora

look more towards aiding the small

SIAMESE TWINS
POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY


members of labor organizations. That is
not only far greater number than ever
pe1ore, but 1t is higher percentage of
the whole number of workers; about %
per cent of the estimated 50,000,000
The measure of that growth is seen in
the fact that in 1910 only little more
than two million workers were organ
lZed, Just above per cent In 1920 the
nearly five million organized workers
were just above II per cent of the total,
which percentage had dropped off to
nine in 1890
This is momentous change. 1t means
a tremendous concentration of power,
economic and political, in the hands of
organized workingmen
When there is power, there must be res
possibility for the use of that power. A
thousand years of history and much
blood have been poured out in the effort
to make political rulers responsible to
the peoples they rule. Blood still flows in
that unceasing struggle.
All who exercise power of any kind
must be responsible. AS Disraeli empha-
sized, a.. all power is a trust we are
accountable for its exercise . =. . from the
people and for the people all springs. :"
The labor leader is trustee of power
He is responsible for its use not only to
the members of his own organization, but
to all the people. In precisely the same
way, the industrial manager is respon-
sible, not only to his owners and stock
holders. but to all the people. Whence
comes the right to hold and own the prop
erty in the first place? From all the
people Whence came the laws and the
social outlook which permitted unions to
organize to their present high peak?
From all the people.
The time has passed when any man can
run his business without giving ultimate
consideration to the wishes and welfare
Of all the people. And the time has passed
when labor leader can run his union
without giving ultimate consideration to
the wishes and welfare of all the people.
And the time has passed when a labor
leader can run his union without giving
ultimate consideration to the same thing
the wishes and welfare of all the
people.
The more Thoughtful leaders of both
the A. F. of L. and the c. |. 0. are looking
gravely on their recent victories in organ
izing workers. They know that with vic
tory comes the burden, and with power
comes responsibility.
To anyone who holds power in trust
may come day when it will be asked of
him as it was the steward in the parable:
How is it that hear this of thee? Give
an account of thy stewardship for thou
mayeSt be no longer steward"
