ENACTMENT by Congress of the full

man-and his family.
The formula of the bill, as adapted
from Sir William Beveridge in England,
is to make jobs for sixty million work
eFs,4se that there will always be "more
vacant jobs" than "men seeking jobs"
Actually, inasmuch as the labor sup
ply" available for peacetime activities
does not exceed 5500000O persons, to
keep 60,000,000 workers in "jobs" would
require a form of forced labor, with
drafts upon the households and school
rooms of the nation.
TNHE old economic name for the oc-
Il currence of more jobs than men is
Labor shortage" and in labor shortages
wages always rise rapidly Unless "con-

COME ueIHOt
From this it necessarily follows that
if the government is to create a PER-
MANENT labor shortage then the gov
ernment must also permanently control
WAGES and SALARIES.
Furthermore, inasmuch as the whole
theory is based upon maximum 'spend
ing" as the source of "jobs, time would
come when the government would have
to issue as substitute for money wages,
some kind of "valuta" such as food
stamps or ration coupons which could not
be saved or "hoarded" beyond pre-
scribed date.
All this is unmistakably implicit in
the full employment bill'' and is quite
plainly but verbosely indicated in the

n CrelIO for Americans

y MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYSER

THE American system has proved its
Il primacy in peace and in war.
The record shows that this free system is
also the most productive. In peace American
teamwork has produced the highest average
living standards that the world has ever
known. In warm 1944-the United States
produced As per cent of the worlds output of
munitions
THE AMERICAN SYSTEM Is A MERIT
SYSTEM, AND IT ENCOURAGES INDIvID-
UALs WITH REWARDS AND INCEN-
TIVES.
1t fosters the creative mind in the realm
of science, invention and engineering
1t is a progressive and dynamic system,
based on recognition that nothing is perma-
nent in life except change.
1t has led the world in supplementing the
muscles of human workers with labor aiding
tools and mechanical energy.
THUS, AMERICANS ARE ABLE TO
PRODUCE MORE AND HENCE RECEIVE
MORE AND BETTER THINGS THAN ARE
OBTAINABLE ELSEWHERE IN EX-
CHANGE FOR A WEEKS WORK.
This free system. IN which individuals are
respected as personalities created IN the image
Of God IN addition to delivering the goods,
also pays important spiritual dividends
LNREE enterprise is the freedom of custom
i ers-the housewives who are the pur-
chasing agents for 350OO,00O American fami-
lies-to reflect their own individual taste in
selecting goods and services of their own
choosing without guidance or dctation from
centralized bureaucracy.
Similarly free enterprise represents the
freedom Of workers to select, within the
framework OF opportunity and individual COM
petence, work OF their own choosing, without
being subject to labor battalions or other
dictation from centralized bureaucrats. MN
In view Of the progressive character of
the American system, with its vast capacity
for adjustment to changing environment,
Americans should he unafrad IN following
their ideals of freedom undeterred by the
blue sky labels used by hostile propagandists
who use gsmorous words to misbrand their
own reactionary schemes to substitute govern.

The Pearl HarIDOr ReDOrtS

Short and Adm. Kimmel, have been
the benefciaries of the policy of sup
preston and concealment which pre-.
vailed throughout the war.
The American people have never
LIKED the governments policy of
suppression and concealment in this
grave matter, and have never seen
the NECESSITY for it or the as
serted wisdom of it.
The American people have never
formed an opinion one way or an
other about the guilt or innocence of
Gen. Short and Adm. Kimmel, for
the simple and good reason that they
have never had a chance to do so.
THE American people never had
\ any doubt that there WAS dere-
LECTION at Pearl Harbor, but it was
only charged and not proved against
Gen. Short and Adm. Kimmel.
The American people do not like
the infliction of punishment without
fair hearing and proof of guilt, even
in war-and that is what actually
happened to these men by virtue of
their suspension from active duty
throughout the whole course of the
war.
Gen. Marshalls S case-and that of
each of those newly accused-is only
different in that he was sheltered
from punishment and accusation
throughout the whole course of the
war-and the fact that he served
with distinction seems to support the
suggestion that Gen. Short and Adm.
Kimmel might very we'll have done
likewise, and certainly does not
refute it.
All of these men are entitled to
the fullest opportunities for defense
and vindication, and in fact should
be required and compelled to stand
trial in an impartial and competent
court from which no part of the truth
could be concealed or excluded.
If dereliction can be proved
against any or all Of them - or
against any others in either higher
or lesser authority-let it be done.
If any or all of them can prove
their title to vindication, let it be
accorded without stint - although
now it can only be done belatedly.
1t is not to the credit of the Amer.
lean nation that it has submerged the
truth and withheld the justice about
this matter for so long time.
Let us not place further delay and
suppression of truth and justice to
the permanent discredit of the
nation.

ing the facts about this great war
time catastrophe.
rhey make MANDATORY the
formal court martial proceedings
which offer all officials under suspi.
cion of dereliction, military and
civilian alike, their only opportuni-
ties for defense and vindication.
These court martial proceedings
should be held without fail, and they
should be held at once
Too much INJUSTICE has al
ready been done to TOO MANY
PEOPLE by the governments policy
Of delay and concealment, for which
the war was pleaded as an excuse.
Likewise, too much evasion and
avoidance of responsibility has been
made possible and encouraged by the
same policy.
THE army and navy commanders at
Il Pearl Harbor at the time of the
japanese attack, Gen. Short and
Adm Kimmel, have been treated as
GUILTY men ever since the attack,
although no case has ever been
PROVED against them, and no OPP
portunities have ever been given
them to refute the charges of derelic-
tion against them.
Now Gen Marshall, the army
chief of staff, is under the same
charges, although Secretary of War
Stlmson and President Truman have
come promptly and vigorously to his
defense - an action conspicuously
lacking in the cases against Gen.
Short and Adm. Kimmel, although
their asserted dereliction was the
same act now charged against Gen.
Marshall, and their authority and
responsibility in the situation were
LESS than that of Gen. Marshall;
and incidentally the authority and
responsibility of all three were less
than that of still other and higher
officials in the military and civil
establishments.
Now, too, those charges are made
publicly for the first time against
Adm. Stark, former chief of naval
operations, Maj. Gen. Gerow, former
chief of the war plans division Of the

tary Of State Cordell Hull.
