Legislation Offered

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Ball, Republican, Of
Minnesota offered legislation to-
day to write the Little Steel
formula into law in order, he
said. to offset union pressure for
wage increases which would
start another inf1ationary
spiral"
Introduction of the bill was ac-
companied by statement in which
Senator Ball said there was strong
pressure from the CIO, the AFL and
particularly from John l.. Lewis
United Mine Workers, to force the
War Labor Board to scrap the Little
Steel formula and give another
general boost in wages"

posed to wreck price controls" Sen

Private Capital Can Do
Rehabilitation Job,
NAM Head Declares
Postwar Task Will
Require Vast Sum,
Crawford Says
By the Associated Press,


DETROIT, Feb. l5.-FTederick c
Crawford. president Of the Nationa
Association of Manufacturers de-
clared today that rehabilitation oi
the postwar world will require the
investment of astronomical sums o.
capital" and private capital can dt
the job and will if permitted
Our rehabilitation problem is no
alone of sheer efficiency or sheer
inventive genius" he declared in q
speech before the Economic Club OF
Detroit. "A whole world will have
to be rebuilt. Our own industries
will have to be reconverted. Indus
tries in the war-torn countries will
have tc be rebuilt
The job will require the invest
ment of astronomical sums of cap
ital. Whether we can do 1t Or not,
whether we shall have real pros
peritv or a real depression in the
postwar world depends III great
measure on whether venture capital
can be encouraged to come out of
hiding"
Says Government Can't Supply Capi
Mr.. Crawford asserted that Gov
ernment cannot supply this missing
capital. it has not capital of its own.
It's only resources are the taxable
incomes of its citizens, and the in
comes of the citizens depends on the
productivity of private enterprise.
Government financed economic
rehabilitation for the world can be
undertaken only at the exense of the
taxpayer. The taxpayer who has
cheerfully carried crushing burden
to insure victory expects and will
demand relief from that burden as
soon as practical after victory has
been achieved
He added, Private capital can do
the job and will. if permitted"
Complete self-sufficiency' after
the war "is not sound ideal, even
though the protective tariff will
remain valid force to insure
America the industries which, for
strategic or other reasons. should be
maintained within our boundaries, "
Mr.. Crawford said.
Gradual Transition Urged.
IF we want a market in China.
Russia, India and other nations for
the goods we can produce the best,
obviously we must not bar those
nations from our own market.
IF we're going to fight as world
nation we must trade like one as
well. Diplomatic peace and eco
nomic warfare cannot live side by
side.
The transition where the protec-
ton seems unjustified should be
gradual, but business recognizes that
it will face a new situation in the
postwar world and that past tradi-
tions are not necessarily valid guides.
Management is ready and an
xious to join with Government and
all groups to produce blue print of
progress, instead of a confusing
welter Of many plans"
