Impatient Workers
Cincinnati Enquirer


 In many industries workers have been accustomed relatively high weekly wages because of the longer hours worked in war industries. They resent the lowering of their take home pay normal working week is resumed and demanding large increases in hourly pay to offset the shortened work week This attitude is understandable in those where daily pay scales frozen throughout the war while living costs have risen.
 This is not the whole story, of course. In many industries there have been considerable increases in hourly wage rates, changes in classification of workers which the effect of wage increases There is no justification for new wage demands at present among the workers who have enjoyed such wage increases during the war.
 Even in those industries where there is a sound case for wage increases-andt there such-this IS not the time for strikes to enforce union demands Our survival of the postwar crisis without costly malad djustment depends swift resumption of production especially in durable goods and the building industry.
 If are to avert a ruinous imitation, we must have prompt and large flow of goods to consumers. And if we to absorb the millions made temporarily unemployed by the closing of industries, obviously we hasten the of key industries in this case, automobiles, household appliances and building construction.
 Wage demands which it might be feasible and desirable to meet in three or six months can be a national danger present, before goods in volume have reached channels to absorb accumulated purchasing power. Impatience among workers thus becomes real menace to our national economy For this the blame must be placed the leaders of labor After all it is they who should be able to understand the folly of widespread large increases before the gigantic task of reconversion gets well started, and before goods in adequate quantity avail able to eliminate the imitation danger.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE

Apostles of government ownership of business agree sometimes that private management can do better with little things. When it comes to filling prescriptions, mending shoes making clotheSpins, they admit private operators may be more efficient Not so with the big stuff they argue; coal iron oil railroads different These just beg for bureaucratic bossng Of course big industries are interesting to politicians because they employ large numbers of people and affect the daily lives of millions The fact remains however, that government and does make mistakes in the operation of big industries. Moreover, appropriate encouragement from governmen relatively small enterprises has been known to result in much good
 Since government enterprises tend ultimately to become monopolistic mistakes in them be far fateful than private bunders.

gave the Russians a powerful po- litical excuse for getting island bases in the Atlantic.
 It isn't being advertised, but al- ready the Russians have asked for bases at Spitzbergen, Bear Island and Iceland, supposedly for weather observations. However, such bases are near the Great Circle short t-cut to New York and London and could become secret rocket launch ing or atom launching bases. Byrnes agreed to discuss the whole matter carefully with the Navy and President Truman upon his return to Washington.

MORE HAIR-PULLING

Finally, Under Naval Secretary Gates, former New York banker, called Assistant War Secretary McCloy and tried to pick up some of the pieces. He suggested that it would be better if the Army and
 Navy worked things out between
 themselves without consulting the
 State Department Then they could
 surprise the other government agencies with an accomplished fact which couldn't be upset.
 Simultaneously, Secretary of the Navy Forrestal sent the White House a memo Sept. 1D asking Truman whether he had approved permanent" policy of putting the islands under the Navy, as stated in his August memo to the Navy, or a mere interim" policy as stated in Truman's Sept. 10 memo to the Army.
 Forrestal's memo came back from the White House immediately marked approved as an interim proposition pending the findings of the State Navy Departments" 7" Meanwhile admiral Edwards shot a quickie radiogram to Fleet Ad- miral Nimitz, containing a com plete blueprint of the Navy's post
 war Pacific plan. Edwards de- liberately made one concession to the civilian agencies by eliminating Okinawa from the islands to be ruled by the Navy, on the ground that Okinawa has too large a civilian population lover 100000 for a naval government.
 NimitZ has now OK'd the Nays blueprint and the admirals have
 again rushed it to the White
 House, hoping they can get snap
 judgment out of Truman, making
 the Navy permanent boss of the
 Pacific islands.

wards surprise, came back one day later, marked approved" Below was President Truman's signature. It was initialed also by Truman's s naval aide, Rear Admiral James Varnaman, who had helped grease the ways.
 The Navy was amazed that Truman had made such an import ant decision effecting vital U. s. policy in the Pacific without con- sulting the State, War or Interior Departments. But it was also de- lighted
 A few days later, Acting Secre- tary of the Interior Abe Fortas, knowing nothing about the Presi- dents action, dropped over to confer with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Sullivan and group of admirals, and outlined the Interior Departments views of how to handle Pacific islands. He pro- posed that the Navy and the h. terior Department set up joint committee to study the subject.
 Sullivan and the admiralS lis tened politely and with poker faces. They knew that Truman had OK d their memo making the Navy Su- preme over Pacific islands, but they never uttered a peep. Fortas left knowing nothing.
 Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary of War Jack McCloy had been tipped off regarding the Navy's quiet ma neuver, as also were the Empire Builders" of the Air Forces The latter were especially furious at Trumans actions. For the air boys consider these islands vital to B-29 and long rang bomber operations And if the Navy gets control, the Army is hamstrung in exactly the same way the Navy would not let the Army planes patrol the waters around Pearl Haibor before Pearl Harbor.

ARMY STEPS IN

So, on Sept 10. McCloy drafted a one-page memo which his chief, Secretary Stimson, signed and sent to the White House. Stimson pointed out that security is inter meshed" regarding Pacific island bases and is a joint problem for both Army and Navy.
 In conclusion, s Ii m o n said he assumed Truman had approved the Navy as an interim authority over the islands, not permanent authority.
 Much to the Army's surprise, this memo came back from the White House one day later, also marked approved" and signed Harry s. Truman. It was obvious that the new President believed in speed, not consultation.
 So, to put another road block in
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-10-15

front of the Navy, Assistant War Secretary McCloy suggested to his colleagues that the entire question of the islands be thrown in the lap of a combined State, War and Navy Department committee. To this end he had a memo mimeo- graphed and started circulating it, when Admiral Edwards heard what was brewing.
 Edwards nearly had a fit. His neat footwork with the White House in August was being com pletely undermined

RUSSIA STEPS IN

However, what both the Army and Navy may not know is that the whole question of Pacific naval bases came up at the London Big Five" Conference. During private side-talks between Secre- tary Byrnes and Foreign Min ister Bevin, the latter told Byrnes that he was worried over perma- nent U. s. Navy controlled bases all over the Pacific
 Beyin told Byrnes that the Nays plan looked like a sword pointed at Russia, and that if the islands were to be Navy ruled it
