The cost OF transporting war
cargoes, Admiral Land pointed out,
is In direct relation to the time re-
CURED for a ship to make a COM
plete round-trip. He called atten-
ton to the fact that port facilities,
which greatly determine the
amount of time a shop is tied up
for loading or unloading, were de-

He suggested that 1t is possible
that the West Coast ports may be-
come bottlenecks to such an extent
that Gulf and Atlantic Coast ports
must be used for unloading out
bound cargoes." The resulting
longer steaming time will OF course
add greatly to transportation costs.
Admiral Land stated that the

A PART, NOT
APART
BY RUTH TAYLOR

No man can truthfully say that he
is self-made. Like Ulysses he must
humbly admit 81 am a part Of all
that / have met"
Each generation has an increasing
responsibility because it has had
greater advantages, due to the work
and sacrifice and lives of those which
preceded it. "For unto whomsoever
much is given of him shall be much re-
quired; and to whom men have corn
mitted much, Of him they will ask the
more"
Whether Intentionally or not we
learn from all those with whom we
come in contact, with whom we live
or work. Not only our own experience
but the experience of others shapes
our lives. We cannot live out of the
world, but we must live in it, because
of what we have gained from it and
we must give as we have gained
What is true of the individual is
true of the nation. No nation can
claim to be "the people" What they
are is the result of the work and toll,
and labor and thought of countless
other peoples of other races and ma
tionalities.
As pure gold is too soft for even
careful usage, so is a nation inbred
upon itself, too soft for life. Only as
it has blended with other groups, with
other races and drawn unto itself the
good of these alien elements can il
grow strong. There Is no nation but
what is a part of all nations-no race
but what draws from other races in
order to survive
Our pride in our country is due to
all the diverse forces which shaped it
and gave it strength. We are Ameri-
cans all = but we have drawn from
every nationality, every race, every
creed to build the American way OF
life which is our richest heritage. Each
race has contributed to our country's
wealth, to the development of it's pow
ers. 1t is a part of all nations-a part
of the world.
Only when this creed is recognized,
when we understand that "all expert
ence is an arch" through which we
can pass to brotherhood of nations,
to a fellowship and fair exchange
among all groups, can we solve the
problem of war and can all the peo-

Washington (FP). = General
Motors flatly told Pres. Truman's
fact-f finding panel Dec. 20 that it will
not claim inability to pay the 30as
wage increase demanded by striking
members of the United Auto Workers,
but if the panel attempts to go into
GINS profit and price position in seek
ing the truth, the corporation will
quit the hearing.
GINS position was laid before the
panel by Atty. Walter g. Merritt of
New York. He told Panel Chairman
Lloyd X. Garrison and Members Wal
ter P. Stacy and Milton Eisenhower
that 1--WE are not pleading poverty.
We are not pleading inability to pay"
After making the threat to walk out
of the hearing, the GIN attorney
branded the UAW demand as "a revo-
lutionary approach" and an entire
ly "new pattern for American indus
try"
What reused the GIN lawyer was
the position that the UAW made by
saying that it would shave down it's
demands from 800 if the company's
books showed it could not meet that
figure without an increase in prices
for GIN automobiles.
Directing his argument to the
panel, Merritt asked "do you feel
you have the discretion of going into
this question (of prices and profits)
and if you feel you do have the dis
cretion, should you use it gratuitously.
A large portion of management
argument was concerned with what
it feared was a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act if the union won
its demand for showing of its books
to show ability to pay without rails
ing prices. Merritt contended that
this would involve the union in the
antitrust act violation along with
management.
Merritt objected to the conducting
of the hearing while the strike is in
progress"
On the prices and profit issue, Mer
ritt insisted the union was stepping
into the field held by OPA by saying
that "prifits and prices shall be con-
sidered by this non-statutory board

Through the generosity OF Fred

earnings to permit large-scale spend
ing on peace-time products, thus
threatening initiation, the bureau says:
Reports on bond purchases in 1914,
however, suggest that the total bond
holdings at income levels below $1,000
do not comprise much of a backlog to
be used for purchases of goods COM
ing back on the civilian market"
The bureau report makes it plain
that the average family, through its
income may have been at record high
levels, was not exactly rolling in
wealth during 1914.
Families Live Very Modestly
Half of all families and single per-
sons in 1914 had incomes, after pay
ing taxes, of $2,700 or more, the bu-
reau finds. the halfway mark in
1914, the last prewar year, was 81, 900.
The bureau, in reviewing statistics
on higher living costs, estimates that
an income Of s. 1,475 was sufficient in
1941 to cover expenses for current
living for the average city family of
3 members, while the minimum for
breaking even" in 1914 for the city
family of 2 or more members had
risen about third, to $3.50. The
report said:
"Such families, averaging 3 per-
sons in size lived very modestly,
spending an average of barely %
cents per meal per person and $50
per month for housing, fuel, light and
refrigeration. They paid s119 during
the year in taxes"
An income of this size covered ex-
penditures for living but left nothing
for such savings as war bonds or life
insurace, the bureau states.
The bureau emphasizes, however,
that family with this income did
buy savings bonds or paid on life in

Describing the conference as "a
milestone in the history of shipbuild-
ing labor relations" Green said the
basic problem before the delegates
was whether 1--WE have shipyards and
shipbuilding industry" or "junk
yards and perhaps another Pearl Har-
bor."
Frey called on the government to
live up to its pledge to allow wage
increases if the cost of living went
up. He pointed out that since April
l, 1941, shipyard workers, with the
exception of those on the Gulf of
Mexico, have received only TN in
crease, declaring it was "extraordi-
nary that labor has been as quiet
under that condition as it has been."
