Steel Prices were frozen by 0PA at Pre-War levels
Costs have Soared-May Steel products now sell at loss
Answer to present wage demands depends
on steel price policy Of 0PA

Today, because Of government-contro1ed prices and
hqh costs, many steel products being sold at loss
That is why the steel industry cannot now pay higher
wages.
A demand for general wage Increase Of 81 day has
been made by the United Seelworkers Of AmercaCI0 In
presenting this demand Philip Murray served notice that
this demand not subject TO dckering compromise.
To enforce this demand strike votes are being taken this
month in the steel industry Any general stoppage Of steel
production would be caamitous blow to reconversion
Increased wages cannot be paid oui Of thin air. Pro-

wages be paid Today the ceiling prices imposed by

Of the profit originally contained in pewar steel prices

SERVICE VIEWPOINT
BY JOHN f. KENNEDY

KENNEDY ---------------
In its efforts 10 do so, and
to enlist support for everything
that comes out of San Fran
cisco, il has brought representa-
tives from 42 leading American
organizations here TO consult"
with the American delegation.
While some of these con
sultants' are still wondering
who consultant consults, many
have been able 10 make some
really constructive suggestions
and are helping 10 keep the
American delegation in touch
with the country'S thinking.
IN RETURN the department
L hopes that these consultants
will be the shock troops in
winning what Archibald Mac
Leish somewhat melodramati-
cally calls "the battle for Amer
ican public opinion"
In this battle Poland has
assumed significant proportions.
The American delegation knows
that If the big Three" can
work out solution TO this prob
lem il will do much 10 increase
public confidence in the future.
No. John O. Public is not the
forgotten man here. He's sit
ting In on every meeting.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-08
Willow Run--a Monument
FAR as we know now the saga

60 FAR as we know now the saga
~ of Willow Run is ended.
Recently the army announced
it was discontinuing manufacture
of B-24 bombers for which the
plant was built. And just the other
day Henry Ford II indicated in
public statement that the Ford
Motor Co. has no plans "for the
future use of WilloW Rum"
Young Mr.. Ford explained
that to extend into peacetime pro
duction the operation of such a
gigantic building so remotely
located from other Ford plants,
would be an unnecessary waste of
plant, personnel and money.
On its face this argument is
logical.
We must remember that Will
Tow Run is the largest manufactur-
ing plant in the world under a
single roof. It was conceived and
built for one purpose and one
purpose alone.
That purpose was the mass
production of giant bombers for
warfare.
The structure was designed to
facilitate the making of bombers as
competently and swiftly as was
humanity possible.
IN NORMAL manufacture of
Il civilian airplanes, for instance,
for a peacetime market, the great
plant probably would turn out
years needs in a month or less.
Most persons will agree that
to all intents Willow Run has
served its purpose and has out
lived it.
There is, of course, the posi-
biIty that Henry Ford will con-
trive some reasonable use for
Willow Run after the war. In the
resourcefulness of his mind and his
innate hatred of wasting anything
that might be salvageable, it would
not surprise his Detroit neighbors
if he managed to make good post
war use of the mammoth buildings.
Regardless, however, of its fu-
ture-regardless of the possibility
that it may become sprawling,

Is the forgotten man out here.

equally well that the American

The people have TO be con-

the War VIGOROUSLY Make the Peace PERMANENTLY Bring Our Boys Home PROMPTLY
The Truth Comes Out

THE belated and reluctant
Il acknowledgment by the Rus
sian government that it has held
sixteen Polish political leaders un
der arrest since March has finally
FLUSHED OUT THE TRUTH
about the Russian attitude toward
the so-called Yalta agreements.
The instant reaction of the
American and British governments
in challenging the propriety and
justice of these events-was of
course inevitable, and it is RIGHT.
The Yalta agreement regard
ing Poland was, in substance, that
an entirely new government of
Poland was to be estabiished-iri-
Guiding representatives of all
democratic elements in Poland,
and especially including repre-
sentatives of the exiled Polish gov
ernment in London.
The sixteen Polish political
leaders now acknowledged to be
under arrest in Russia ARE the
official representatives of the
London government.
THEY are, in fact, the segment
Il of the London government
which REMAINED IN POLAND
throughout the German occupa-
ton.
They constituted the respon
sible and authoritative LEADER
SHIP of the underground organi
zation in Poland which carried on
the war against Germany.
No sther legal agency of
Polish authority existed in Poland
during the German occupation, and
no other legal agency exists NOW
as the American and British
governments have acknowledged
by continuing to recognize the
London government, and by re-
fusing to recognize the provisional
PUPPET regime established in
Moscow and set up in Poland by
Russia.
The London government, in
keeping with the Yalta agreement,
appointed the sixteen underground
leaders in Poland as its official
delegation to assist in creating the
broadened base of government
which had been agreed upon.

windowless skeleton plant-Wil-
low Run has achieved a glorious
history.
Perhaps never in the annals Of
American industry did an enter
prise begin under less auspicious
conditions.
In it's early days everything
appeared to be against it.
There was no convenient
housing for it's thousands of work
ers. There was no adequate trans
portation to bring them to their
Jobs. And the entire conception of
Willow Run was suspect in the
eyes of many established airplane
manufacturers.
They said it was impractical.
They jibed more or less openly at
the Ford people; implied they
would learn to their sorrow that
building airplanes was a different
thing than building automobiles.
POLITICIANS criticized the produc-
i tion schedules. Investigations were
demanded. A considerable part OF the
nations press began to refer to Willow
Run as Henry Ford's folly.
But through all of that early doubt
and criticism Henry Ford and his exec
utives remained serene and indifferent.
Incidentally it should be noted that no
other Detroit manufacturers joined the
national chorus Of derision.
His Detroit compel stood
stanchly by the slender old dean of the
automotve industry. They seemed to
know he would produce. They might
fight him briskly in normal competition
but they seemed TO feel that in the Will
low Run experiment not only was Henry
Fords manufacturing reputation at stake
but the reputation Of Detroit industry as
as whole.
TODAY everybody knows the tower
Il ing triumph of Willow Run. It's
eventual output of bomber an hour far
outpaced the most optimistic preliminary
army hopes.
The thousands Of bombers produced
at Willow Run helped more than any
body can dream, to bring quicker victory
70 the Allied cause.
No matter, thus, what may be its end,
Willow Run has fulfilled splendid
destiny. Detroiters always will be proud
OF il as monument TO Detroit produc-
tion capacity.

THEY left in March to confer
with Russian representatives,
supposedly for the PURPOSES
agreed upon.
THEY HAD NOT BEEN
HEARD FROM SINCE.
The Polish government in
London exhausted every avenue of
inquiry, without finding a trace of
them.
The American and British
governments repeatedly sought in
formation about them from the
Russian government, without sue
cess.
Only now, after nearly two
months, has the shameful and
ominous fact been disclosed that
they are PRISONERS in Russia
on the pretext of Conducting di-
Uersionary activities against Rus
sia," when in reality they were on
a diplomatic mission undertaken
to carry out the Yalta agreement.
IN THE light of these facts, there
L is no other course surely no
other RIGHT course-for the
American and British governments
to follow than that instantly taken
by Secretary of State Stettinius
and Foreign Minister Eden in
serving sharp and final notice upon
Russia that the issue of Polish
representation at the San Fran
cisco conference will not be further
discussed until the Russian gov
ernment has made full and salts
factory explanation about the
arrests.
Russia will not make such an
explanation because there is none
acceptable under the Yalta agree
.ment.
The simple and blunt truth
now flushed out is that Russia has
not only failed to KEEP faith with
the Yalta agreement but never
MADE the Yalta agreement on
Poland in good faith.
It is high time to wonder and
to ask just WHAT international
agreements IF ANY Russia can
be depended upon to make and
keep in good faith.
