would undermine the economic
structure on which the Ameri-
can system rests would be a
violation of that oath.
So now comes the interna-
tional executive board of the
Go United Automobile Work
erS, in Los Angeles, with a chal-
lcnge 10 the American Congress
TO legiSlatc. in its wisdom, and
under the Constitution. for the
general welfare of the United
States.
THESE impudent labor leaders
Il serve notice on the Congress
that if the Congress dares 10
reScind tho Presidents order
placing a net limitation Of S25,-
600 on all salaries, the Auto
Workers will re-assert their
right to strike.
To strike, mind you, IN TIME
OF WAR.
The Communist Party plat
form demand of 1923 must stand,
or else!
The Congress of the United
States mus meekly bow its head
TO the CommuniSt-infested Go,
or else,
The sacred Communist Party
platform Of 1923 must not be
Scorned. or else!
The duty of Congress 10 "re-
peal" the Communist demand
for a $4,000 limit on salaries is
now clear.
1t not only owes it 10 the
country 1t owes it 10 itself.

challenged the sovereignty of
the Congress of the United
States with threat aS-de-
structive as ii is impudent.
II is the most sinister threat
against the sovereignty of the
national legislative body under
the American Constitution since
the threat of secession.
Twice in recent months. both
the Senate and the House of
Representatives ignored and re-
jected recommendations by
President Roosevelt that a limi-
tation of $4,000 be placed on
all net salaries earned in this
country.
Upon assurances by the &C
CT ed ited administration
spokesman in the House, when
the price control bill was pre-
pared. that the measure granted
TO the President no power to
fix a limitation on salaries-an
issue Mr.. Roosevelt himself had
raised, TO the apprehension of
the House-the rules committee
of that body issued a rule for
the consideration of the bill,
which was subsequently, upon
those assurances, enacted. and
finally passed also by the Sen
ate.
In the latter body, the finance
committee ignored recon-
mendation by the President that
salary limitation of $4,000 be
written into the new tax law.
That law could not have been
passed with such a provision
in IL.
As soon as this price control
law was on the statute books,
without statutory authority, the
President directed Price Stabll-
F. iZer Byrnes to impose the S25,-
600 limitation which Congress
rejected, and ByrneS, a
faithful New Deal political hack,
promptly did so.
THAT limitation viii 60 into

law, although without the coun-
tenance of any law. on January

initiative, energy, ambition and
incentive of every man and
woman of talent and genius in
the United States.
II will strike a blow at the
entire American way of life, the
way of free enterprise, the way
Of unlimited opportunity for all.
That was the motive which
inspired the Communist Party
when it demanded a $4,000
limitation on ALL INCOMES in
this country in its national plat
form, adopted under the ham
mer and sickle in New York
City in 1928.
