Committee To-


National Religion and Labor Founda-
ton, New Haven, Conn, took the
radio companies to task for their ar
bitrary decision.
The Tacoma Washington Times
headlined its editorial, November II,
Radio Pulls Boner" and declared,
''The two major radio networks stirred
up a hornets nest when they decided
not to permit the consumer co-opera-
tive movement to buy time on the
air in which to promote their philos-
ophy and program" The Columbus
Citizen asked editorially, November
II, "Who are the nabobs of radio to
say whether we shall be privileged
to hear the co-operators tell their
story and then, if opponents choose,
to hear the contrary arguments 2"
The Jacksonville (Florida) Journal
declared editorially, 1.-The co-opera-
tives did not seek something for moth
ing, they offered to pay for their pro-
gram just like any advertiser. De-
mocracy has survived and flourished
in this country because up to now
every medium of public education has
been wide open for presentation of
the most controversial ideas, so that
the people could accept what they
chose, reject what they pleased. If
radio cannot live up to this funda-
mental democracy, then the time may
have come to reassess the place of
radio in our education system"
The Minnesota Teamster, Novem-
Der s. said in a feature editorial,
Radios, like newspapers, have a semi
public status, and the ability to buy
time should not be the sole govern
ing factor. To permit questionable
loan sharks, and labor baiters to give
their messages over the network to
advertise goods of a sponsor, and not
to permit the co-operatives, is GER
tainly not fair"

reaching Helena indicated that the
corporation groups were lining up be-
hind George O'Connor of Carbon coun-
ty, for Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. This was evident from
the activities of certain members
of the company crowd" The re-
publican majority in both houses is
so clear that there is great danger of
an inter-party fight developing. AS
things stand now, Sen. w. E. Kelley
of Deer Lodge, will again be named
majority leader, and Sen. John L..

Rep. Hatton Summers 3D., Tex, who
about a year ago said strikers ought
to be electrocuted, should represent
them by heading a committee Of Is.
Besides ardent ants from the oil
states, the anti-rationers include many
poll takers and ordinary reactionaries
and a few appeasers. Among the
most vocal are the Oklahomas. SINH

tor Wickersham 3D., Okla.), another
leader of the bloc, show a predomi-
nance of chambers of commerce, oil
companies, insurance companies and
merchants association as spokesman
of this so-called upsurge from the
grass roots.
Johnson had read to the house an
article from the Natl. Petroleum News
that accuses OPA of calling out their
Gestapo" to investigate this upsurge
when the criticism spread True, the
oil men did some of the protesting,
it said, but 1.-THE protest never could
have gotten to a congressional
demand for an investigation if
the American people did not know
that what the oil men pointed out is

Many of the pat objections quoted
by Henderson are the same as those
set forth in an article under Johnson's
by-line syndicated by Hearst's Inter-
national News Service and printed in
the Washington Times-Herald.

man Dirksen of Illinois. USDAs best
hope for getting enough money to
meet war needs lies in demonstrating
direct tie-in of every dollar requested
to the prosecution of the war on the
food and fibre front
Dirt farmers face the fight of their
lives in protecting their competitive
position against the forces of indus
trialiZed agriculture who now may be
expected to drive for the same sort
of preferential treatment and concen-
tration of production on their own
terms that have prevailed in Amer
lean industry in it's slow and spotty
conversion to war production.
If reaction is to be kept from run
ming wild in agriculture and industry,
working farmers, wage earners and in
dependent professionals, industrialists
and engineers are going to have to
get better acquainted with each other
fast and set up some sort of common
understanding and program. The best
affirmative development to date is
embodied in the Tolan bill for the
indignation of all war mobilization in
a single agency. The five LaFollette-
Thomas bills for the economic en-
reimbursement of agricultural workers
and the joint resolution for a commits
sion to investigate the utilization of
the nations farm manpower offer a
rallying point in the field of agricul-
ture.
OF course much depends on how the
election and the Tories war dance
affect FDR. If the democratic re-
verses pull more of his attention away
from foreign affairs to the domestic
scene, and if, in the next round, he
comes out swinging, the various exec
utive agencies can be stiffened to the
point where they will reject appease-
ment tactics and slam down their APP
preparation requests and Qualifications

tees USDA is particularly susceptible
to the meemees and picking at the
covers and is going to need this sort
of stiffening.
Tories will again search out all
planning items in various budgets, as
was done this year, and deeper cuts
are likely. At the same time, Dirk
sens proposal for joint congressional
committee on planning is greater
threat than ever to the writing and
ratification of durable peace. Sen
ator Wagner and Congressman Voor-
his have bills for postwar planning
committees but failure to push them
in the present session may mean they
have missed the boat.
The tacit coalition of about 40 Tory

in this instance.
You think it is untrue that, while
wages and farm prices have gone vi
little, the profits of factories anc
munitions makers have gone up 400
per cent. Average weekly factory
wages rose 500 and farm prices 32%
from January 1888 through December
1871. All three figures are "before
taxes" Farmers and wage-earners
pay taxes, too. | should think that a
man who considers corporation re-
turns in 1941 only reasonable" would
| feel that the returns to labor and
farmers in 1871 were exceedingly
poor 1t is difficult to reconcile the
viewpoint with which you approach
wages and farm prices with your point
of view ON industrial profits.
If we use 1888 as base, it is true
that profits before taxes were almost
400% better for all corporations in
1871, and more than 5000 better after
taxes.
But if we examine the profits Of
some of the war contractors, we find
some extraordinary things. One large
airplane manufacturer last year made
a profit virtually equal to his entire
capital investment. A manufacturer
of one type of high explosive is re-
ported to be earning in two years
profit equal to his entire investment
in plant and equipment used in manu-
facture of this explosive. Such prof
it's tend to shake the confidence of
the American public in the patriotism
OF many war contractors.
The more light that is shed upon
the problem of war profits, the more
evident it becomes that exorbitant
earnings are leading to waste and in
efficiency N production. Smaller
and more reasonable prfoits probably
would lead manufacturers to strive to
produce a larger volume of war equip
ment and operate at lower cost

study the facts more closely. If you
do so, am sure you will understand

O'Neal Criticized
In Meeting Of
Byrnes Board
BY DREW PEARSON
Washington Merry-Go-Round
In the Des Moines Register

WASHINGTON Economic Stabil
izer Jimmy Byrnes isn't advertising
it, but there was wrangle over farm
wages when his board met behind
closed doors at the White House last
week.
Manpower Chief Paul McNutt
bounced all over American Farm Blu
Ieau chieftain Ed O'Neal, for oppos
ing higher farm wages. And after
McNutt finished with O'Neal, Score
tary of Agriculture Wickard picked
up the cudgels and gave him an even
more vigorous verbal spanking.
when you say that farm prices
aren't high enough to warrant higher
wages on the farm" McNutt told the
Farm Bureau chief, you simply are
not stating facts. The real fact is
that farm wages have not advanced
in proportion to farm prices"
O'Neal countered with a sheaf of
Farm Bureau statistics on wages and
parity prices, but McNutt demanded,
Lets hear the views of the Secretary
of Agriculture on the subject"
An Arizona Threat
Wickard was already irked at
O'Neal for having stated in an inter-
view to the Washington Post that Ari-
IONA cotton growers may strike and
refuse to plant any cotton next year
rather than pay 80 cents an hour to
Mexican labor. This higher wage had
hn
can government and the Farm Secur-
ity administration, but Arizona long
staple growers have refused to pay it.
Don't you know" demanded Wick
ard, that statements like yours may
cost the lives of American boys?
Arizona may strike, you are endanger-
ing our supply of long-staple cotton,
vitality needed for parachutes and bal
looms"
O'Neal said he meant to bring out
that if the government hiked farm
wages beyond the ability of farmers
to make a profit, the Arizona cotton
growers couldn't afford to plant next
year. He did not mean to harm the
war effort
well, you do harm the war effort
by saying things like that whether
you mean them or not" replied Wick
ard. "A man in your responsible
position should exercise some caution
in his remarks to the press"
It's my job to protect the farmers.
and I'm going to do it to the best of
my ability" O'Neal answered.
Director Byrnes, who stepped down
recently from tranquil life on the
supreme court, listened gravely to the
verbal fireworks. He said nothing,
but turned his head back and forth
from Wickard to O'Neal like a man
following a tennis ball

leader expressed it:
"fCan find out what the hell has
been going on there. Nobody knows
now except the President and the
White House gang"
In congress, the labor-hating pol
taxer, Rep. Eugene Cox d., Ga.)
spoke frankly. He said there was nc
disunity, no division, among the
armed forces "in the holy cause OF
freedom for which they battle"
Like many of the poll-taxers who
support the war, however, he makes
sharp cleavage between the war and
the home front. Congress has sur.
rendered powers it must recapture,
and bureaucrats have too much power,
he said.
They have, at times, made the con-
gress appear ridiculous" said Cox.
$50, Mr.. Speaker, let us understand
one another There will be no coali-
ton against the Speaker of this House
or anybody else. There will, how
ever, be coalescence."
There is plenty of evidence that
organized labor is aware of this, and
of the consequent dangers to the hard
won rights of labor. Pres. A. F. Whit
ney of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, speaking of the "dime-an-
hour" bloc against the Wage an Hour
law, says the repeal of the "dime-an-
hour" bloc against the Wage and Hour
law, says to repeal the law is lust
what Hitler wants"
g. and if that is what certain
senators and congressman and news
paper publishers are aiming for, then
it is high time that they be called to
account for their reasonable con-
duct" he wrote in The Railroad Train
men for December.
Rep. John E. Rankin d., Miss.)
poll taxer paid tribute to the courage
and high-mindedness of the filibusters
in the senate who blocked a vote on
the anti-poll tax and said:
Our boys are fighting in this war
to perpetuate American institu-
tions. /. and not to turn this nation
over to a bunch of crackpots to make
of it some kind of a communistic con-
glomeration of which they would be
ashamed"
Whereupon Rep. Clare Hoffman
(R., Mich), fellow traveller of the
Chicago Tribune said: 1--WE all realize
that everyone should vote, but
everyone you know has to earn a
living. May l ask: When is the
senate and the house going to get up
the courage to vote to permit men to
work without paying tribute to the
CLIO or the AFL?"
Rankin beamed at him and said he
was all for bill ito stop those racke-
teers from robbing these people who
want work" To which Hoffman re-
piled archly:
THAT is right, but get about it,
then over on your side"
