RecOnversion: A Good Start
New York Times

tNeW IOrk 1lmeS)
 John w. Snyder Director of Reconverson, is to congratulated the promptness with which he has presented to the American people the Governments economic program for reconversion to peace He has written a clear and vigorous and for the most part well-reasoned report. He has made public aston ishngly large number of quick decisions The Administration is especially to be con- graduated not fearing to act promptly and boldly some of the most crucial decisions that it had to make. MT. Snyder tells us, for example, that i've will not keep a single soldier sailor in uniform longer than he is needed by the Army or Navy, in order to hold down the totals of temporary unem- ployment" As he himself remarks This policy may increase somewhat the immediate dimensions of the task But it is the shortest and most efficient road back"
 The policy is to be followed regarding mili- tary contracts "all" of which being terminated immediately except those required for experimental and development purposes and for the maintenance and supply of the armed forces" The War Depart ment is taking immediate action to cut it's procurement of aircraft artillery, ammunition and other weapons by 94 to 100 per cent
 MT Snyder has announced so many governmental decisions intentions that it will require weeks and perhaps months to anayze the implications of all of them. But among many good decisions there are also number of very dubious One of the most im- portan of the latter is the program announced for wages and prices We are told for example that "as long materials and products remain seriously Short price ceilings those materials and products must be maintained a barrier against imitation" But wherever price ceilings will not be endangered collective bargaining Ion wages will be restored" Proposals also put forward raising socaled sub standard" pay scales.
 In practice, prices and wages cannot be separated in the way that MT. Snyder implies. If wages raised at any point market forces will tend to bring corresponding increase in prices If wages raised and prices held down, the elimination of marginal profits caused by such policies will be tain to bring unemployment and shrnkage in production below what would otherwise be possible The decision make this matter must be pri- mariy economic; 1t cannot be made on political grounds. If wish to keep price control, must keep wage control. If wish to take the controls off wages and allow them to be decided by collective bargaining and the forces of supply and demand we must allow similar freedom for prices if we seriously expect to get maximum production and full employment

Boards. Without warning, Snyder announced that the WIPE controls on, construction, contained in WIPE Order L-4l, would end Oct. Is.
 This abolished the WIPE provision that new houses may not cost more than $8,000 and means not only that prices for houses now on the market will shoot up, but that builders will use the small supply of building materials now available for more expensive houses. Already houses in southern Florida formerly priced at $500 last week have shot up to $6,500-even though WIPE Order L-41 does not expire until next month.
 In spite of the fact that the OPA Rent Control Division has done a good job as possible under difficult conditions, it is probable that the number of homes for rent (already 30 per cent smaller than before the war will become so tight that thousands of returning servicemen will have to postpone their plans to marry and have families be- cause they will have no place to live.
 In the midst of this shortage,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-09-28

step from such ustifiabe wage increases to the 30 per cent increases now being demanded. Such an increase on top of the 36 per cent rise in average straight-time hourly earnings during the war will present industry with sharp increase in costs which inevitably will require sharp increases in price These price increases in turn will decrease the buying power of the wages received and in turn will become the basis for demands for wage increases.
 In time sharp increase in the standard of living of the wage-earners well other groups is nevit- able But to attempt to force in a relatively short period changes which may be justified at future date is to erect barrier against the attainment of the high level of employment which will be so urgently required during the transition period and after.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-09-28
WAGE DEMANDS

Most of the large unions have already announced their demands for higher rates In general, the increases demanded designed to offset the reduc ton wartime earnings attending the decline in the number of hours worked the elimination of premium overtime pay and related factors. Thus the rubber workers demand wage increase of 30 cents hour, the steel workers 25 cents hour, and auto and clothing workers increase of 30 per cent of these magnitudes would in most instances enable workers to retain their wartime take-home pay and apparently designed to accomplish that objective
 In effect, the labor unions insisting that the abnormal wartime wages represent a legitimate m- mediate aspiration of their members They saying that the increase in workers incomes resulting from the extra work required by effort must be retained in the pay envelope though that extra effort is no longer expended. They saying that productivity has increased significantly during the that these wage increases be made without requiring price increases They in effect saying that wartime level of earnings, which included huge and abnormal savings must be continued to prevent workers living standards from being impaired. They in effect saying that because large profits earned result of the abnormally large volume of business those past profits indicate the ability pay future wage increases
 Undoubtedly wage adjustments desirable in many cases and are justified on the basis of the expected postwar earnings position the rise isiving costs and changes in productivity. But it is big
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-09-28

there is no authority to prevent a builder or any seller of a home from taking advantage of the shortage and pushing his price up to double or triple it's fair value. Nor is there any protection for the thousands of families living in government housing projects which are to be sold. Unless they pay more rent or buy new homes, they can be turned out on the street the minute the government sells a housing project to a private oper- ator.
 (Note-The Department of Agri- culture is worried because farm prices are now 57 per cent above 1937-39 averages and still going up)

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not c0mpe"
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2e

Adverse aspects dominate today which may be a time for anxiety. Public opinion may be muddled in regard to paramount issues.
 Heart And Home
 After the early morning there may be a sense of weariness or depres- sion. Recreation is important this week end which will be followed by stirring events affecting the nation. Girls should beware of misunder- standings with fiances.
 Business Affairs
 The financial history of the nation should be carefully studied as certain perils of the past must be avoided. Congress is to accept unusual re- sponsibility in preventing a monetary crisis.
 National Issues
 Race consciousness may be reveal ed next month in the apportion- tionment of jobs to veterans. The seers warn that as long as there is discussion of views regarding equality for all citizens there will be trouble. Old prejudices now must be for gotten.
 International Affairs
 There is a sign that seems to indi- cate that Britain must depend upon her allies in planning economic sur vival through postwar emergencies. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a busy year that will bring many pleasant surprises. Wo- men will be especially fortunate. Children born on this day probably will be bright and energetic. They may be careless regarding their pos sessions and too generous in bestow- ing them on friends.

HOUSING AVIATION

Despite warnings by top-flight economists and historians, the Truman Administration is failing to take sufficient steps to prevent disastrous postwar imitation.
 Swift relexation of production controls, with no provisions for the manufacture of loW-cost merchan- disc. and the rapid weakening of price controls are already starting the nation into a higher-price era.
 Last week, in the face of re- peated warnings from OPA, John Snyder, Chief of the Office of War Reconversion, took the Back to Normalcy" advice of his special construction consultant, Hugh Potter, ex-President of the Ma tional Association of Real Estate

western steel plants. . President Truman may go to New York on Columbus Day to make a major address While the British delegation in Washington is nego- tiating for a loan or gift, London is trying to swing a big financial deal with our political enemies in Argentina. Implication is that un- less the British get what they want from us they will cement closer re- lations with Fascist Argentina. :. Army and Navy brass hats have taken another step which won't endear them to civilians. They have reserved every room in every hotel in Philadelphia for the weekend of the Army-Navy football game. No civilian can reserve a hotel room in Philadelphia during that week end-without Army-Navy consent. Watch ex-Governor Bricker of Ohio as dark horse Republican candidate for the 1948 Presidential race. Harold Burton's promotion from the Senate to the Supreme Court leaves the way open for him. |. =. Secretary of State Byrnes, who has already gobbled up OWI and the Office of Strategic Ser vices, is now inheriting the Foreign Economic Administration and Lend Lease This will make his State Department one of the biggest of all government bureaus.

 One such occasion came the other day when Truman received genial, politically astute Willkie- Republican Milt Poland of Wiscon- sin.
 MT President" Poland opened up, you've seen Dewey, Hoover and Landon, but I guess I'm the first Willkie-Republican to drop in and pay my respects"
 Truman said he was delighted to see Poland and confided that he had lot of respect for the late Wendell Willkie
 T remember just how Willkie used to refer to Tom Dewey" Pol land continued. He used to sail him that little mustached son of -----"
 Well, that about describes him." replied Truman grinning broadly.
 Poland told Truman how he and a few other Willkie- Republican are determined to make a fight for liberalism in COP ranks.
 We're especially anxious to see that men like Nye and Ham Fish never get back into Congress" Poland said. Were also after guys like Shipstead's scalps."
 That's swell" replied Truman, T hope you continue to fight them. They deserve to be licked again and again."
 (Note-Polland didn't discuss it with Truman, but he hopes to con- yene some of Willkie's former close associates including Russell Daven- port. Lem Jones, Senator Ball and Bart Crum in order to set up a program which the Willkie people can follow. They're particularly anxious to unseat the old guard in Congress, hope to rally around them COP Senators Aiken of Yer mont, Morse of Oregon and Tobey of New Hampshire)
