Congress to the Rescue

The Interstate Commerce Commission, in a class rate case, has brought head on collision between it and the Justice Departments interpretation of the Sher- man Antitrust Act. The Commissions decision on rates involves multitude of rate changes The railroads are directed to get together and, in collaboration with shippers and state railway commissions, work this problem out, subject to review and approval of the Commission.
 But in the Federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska, it is precisely this conference" method of proposing rates that is under attack by the Department of Justice. And a similar action has been instituted in the United States Supreme Court by the Governor of Georgia.
 "If the railroads comply with the Con- missions order" says the Western As sociation of Railway Executives, "they are violating the Sherman Antitrust Act if the Department of Justice is cor rect, and their officers can be fined and sent to prison along with everybody who collaborates with them. On the other hand, if they refuse to comply with the decision, they can be held accountable for violating the Interstate Commerce Act"
 In seeking to remedy this ridiculous situation under which the railroads are supposed to serve two masters and go to jail if they disobey one or the other, Rep resentative BulWinkle has introduced bill which would extend the regulatory powers of the Interstate Commerce Con- mission to include such cooperative un- dertakingS among carriers as are neces- Sary to comply with the Interstate Com merce Act, and to legalize them beyond as well as good law, and the quicker Con- gress remedies this burlesque on rate making that is now being carried on by the Department of Justice, the quicker will the railroads of the United States be in a position to intelligently meet many of their postwar problems.

curity Board; to establish a national so- cial insurance system covering, as the bill says, "any service of whatever nature performed after December 31, 1945," with few exceptions. Apparently the bill would end state unemployment insur- ance systems.
 A new social security tax of per cent on wages up to $3,600 year would be levied, per cent paid by the employer, and pc, cent by the employe. This bill, by grants and gifts of money to states, would make the Federal government dominate the health, welfare and secur- ity systems of every state. The people would become wards of the Federal gov ernment. The alleged objectives of the bill are already being brought about in the various states by voluntary action, without Federal compulsion and taxa tion
 This bill is another big step in a pro- gram to reduce the states to the posi- ton of mere administrative agencies of the Federal government. Granting that the motives of the sponsors of the bill are the highest, the effect of this proposed legislative panacea for the woes and ills of mankind will be disastrous to individ- ual independence in the United States.

Coal Industry Tells Story

The people are learning more about American industry today through ad- 7ertising in the newspapers than ever aefore. The coal industry, instead of ad- 5ertising coal merely as fuel, shows by illustrations and the printed word, the Complicated processes required to furnish he consumer with finished products de- lived from coal. As result the people aaye come to know something of the inn oortance of that industry from many mgles. x Valuable as coal is for heat, think of sts inestimable value as the source of life saving sulfa drugs, aspirin, antisepticS, yermacides, synthetic vitamins, quinine, and hundreds of medicines that are de- rived iron. it.
 Thus does an industry, by telling it's story, show the interest of the consumer in the continual progress and expansion of the producer. Never before did labor and capital have so much in common in striving for policies that will encourage continued and sustained progress in pro ducing industries Coal production is largely labor, hence scientific develop ments that enlarge the market for coal, are essential to the future of both the worker and the investor. The coal in- dustry is building a solid future on diversity of public services.

Liquidating State Control

When one tries to analyze proposed Federal legislation such as the Wagner Murray Bill (s-1050), one is tempted to give up in confusion. Under this one bill ia politicial agency in Washington is given the power to tax employers and employes billions of dollars per annum;
 t0 grant loans aggregating billion dol liars in the next ten years; to provide grants to states and local governments for public health services; to make grants for general assistance of the needy; to provide for the creation of United States Employment Service in the Social Se-

Frances Modern Revolution

The convention of the French Estates General, dedicating Frances 156th an- nual BaStille Day, is memorable occaS- sion for the world as we'll. There is doubt and spec ulation as to the destiny ot France and there is grave wonder as to her identity in the European phase ot the war. Much of this confusion can be dis pelled by the action of her party leaders at this convention and during the Subse- quent voting day for the French people on Oct. IA.
 At very best the current convention has been termed to be illustrative of straw ballot" of the 2,300 delegates comprising the Estates General, but 1t can point the way of the wind as to the trend of French thought and feeling. The people at the election will handle the helm but their actions may be prompted, in great meas ure, by the results of the convention.
 France has the choice of rising agaln, valiantly, despite her wounds and trag- edy, or of remaining recumbelt a moan ing, discouraged, begging nation. Theme of her renaissance must be new constl- tuition designed to give honorable suste- nance to the flame of 1789 when she frightened the stygian ignorance of Eu- rope. Yet the theme must be modernlzed, as it should have been after World War I, lest she again lead her people into the maze which resulted in such cabinet i11- stability that there were 27 governments during the 21 years between this war and the last
 Maintenance of Frances famed Third Republic is agreed upon by all competl- tive parties but the maintenance must have the foundation of a new constltu- ton. As is customary there is little ap- parant normalcy, however, in the ap- proach to this cause by the French pol iticians. Governmental administration has always been paradoxical in France among people who are lovers of the para dox
 The worlds interest is keen not only in the interest of France herself and the possibility that she now represents the trend or mode of the reformation period to come, but also because of the recent rapid gains made by the Communist par ty and the radical-SocialiSts. Shall the past failures of France be identified by her people as syrnptomatic of the so- called decadence of Democracy and if so shall she grasp at the realities of the left wing as means of reSuscitatlon? That IS the question the world asks.
 From the distance of Waterbury, it is difficult to untangle the confusing half truths relating to her past. Yet let us know this much, and clearly, that the spirit of theological revolution is aflame in France among her people. We should be concerned with the course it will choose toward it's ultimate destiny.

 2. The war with Japan.
 3. The Dardanelles; whether Russia will finally realize her century-ol ambition to control this vital waterway.
 4. A permanent site for the new United Nations Organiza- tion.
 5. Recognition of the left ist-controlled governments of Finland, Rumania, Bulgaria. (Great Britain and the United States so far have refused rec ognition0
 6. Bringing Italy into the United Nations, and finally set- ting Italian peace terms.
 2. Guaranteeing free elections in various controversial parts of Europe, including Poland, where the U. S. is watching Russia, and Greece, where Russia is watching the British.
 8. Feeding Europe next wirl- ter.
 g. Regional treaties, such as the Anglo-French Treaty and Soviet Czech-Polish treaty; how are they to fit into the United Nations security plan.
 10. World aviation bases and routes; many of these problems still remain left over from the Chicago Air Conference.
 II. Organizing world police force to be used by the United Nations to keep the peace. This is long and complicated agenda for a new President af- particularly versed in foreign af- fairs. No wonder President Tru- man took with him more than 100 experts to help advise him at Berlin.
