Politics has already slipped back into
its old-time prominence. The congress
sional elections, with the surprising
return of Republican strength. marked
the first phase of the restoration OF the

the months following, our eyes were
trrned abroad. 1t seemed improper,
even indecent, to discuss local affairs
which we're not involved in Americas

Won Runstedt and Patton appeared TWO
years ago.
Despite the fact that there will be no
national election in 1947, there VIII DC
plenty of political activity. Republicans
will hope to extend their gains IN city
elections. Since the big cities nave
been the strongholds of the Roosevelt.
labor New Deal, many OF them are stlil
in Democratic hands. New York City
is settled that way for three more years.
B,1t Chicago elects new mayor TINS

and a new Democratic candidate has
been selected. But weaknesses IN the
machine were glaringly apparent in the
county elections last fall.

Most cities, large and small, In the

City governments this year will be
harassed by financial troubles. Many

in strikes only two hours out of each
hundred which could have been worked.
No one calls attention to the fact that
in the depression of the thfrties ten times
as many hours of labor were lost an
nually by unemployment as were lost by
strikes in 1946."
1t seems to the ordinary man that a
loss of two hours out of each hundred
of working time is much more impor-
tant than Mr. Wallace appears to be-
lieve. Furthermore, there is no reason
for depression in this country, preceded
by wild imitation, if full production is
maintained and prices are prevented
from soaring. While industry has been
by no means guiltless. the demands en-
forced by labor for greatly increased
wages has been the greatest factor
in the present increased cost of living.
And labor has been responsible for many
shortages of goods-due to work stop
pages and failure to produce.
Recently there have been indications
that fuller production and return to
competitive methods will force lower
prices-indeed, 1t already has forced
lower prices. If this trend to lower costs
continues, the fantastic demands made
by CIO unions for another 20 to Is per
cent raise in industrial wages will have
even less foundation than they have al
ready.
In his editorial Mr.. Wallace made the
labor issue political as well as economic.
He announced that the New Republic
under his editorship would continue its
strong support of labor. He added that
"if the Democratic Party fights against
labor, it will sign it's death warrant"
His suggestion for labor legislation
and he said, "if there is to be legislation"
is: First, carefully worked out pro-
gram for fact finding; second mecha-
nism for voluntary arbitration, and third,
a labor court operating under the super
vision of the Presidents Economic Ad-
visory Council dealing only with disputes
in those key industries which 1t feels
are of supreme interest to the general
welfare.
The court would have no real author
ity to enforce its decisions. Mr.. Wallace's
program is not only mild, but it under
takes in no way to amend the existing
lop-sided labor laws-which sadly need
revising. He makes no suggestion for
breaking the monopolistic power that
labor has developed under the Demo-
cratic administrations of the last dozen
years. If Mr.. Wallace is to be considered
the champion of organized labor, his
editorial holds out no hope of co-opera-
ton by labor to bring about better
relationship between organized labor and
industry under the law. His warnings
to labor are to 60 slowly until public
sentiment has been allayed.

"A Deep Shame
From the LonGon Sunday Chronicle.

From the LonGon Sunday Chronicle.
The production of coal is not politi-
cal problem, and no political considera-
ton should be allowed to come in the
way of cooperation between the Govern
ment on one hand and the mine-owners,
operators, and workers on the other E.
We believe that coal production can be
increased, by the application of the latest
technical devices and otherwise, and that
lost ground can be regained . 1t is
already deep shame to us that Britain,
which led the world in coal production,
which built its industries on ready
supply of good fuel, which was able to
sell coal to its neighbors, has been
brought to this sad position. This is a
stain which may be wiped out by energy
and perseverance, but history will not
forget or forgive its authors.

Henry A. Wallace, former Vice Presi-
dent and Secretary of Commerce, sees
Government ownership as the ultimate
cure for strikes in Industries essential
to the continued life of the Nation"
His statement is made in an editorial
in the current issue of New Republic"
of which Mr. Wallace now Is editor.
"If," said Mr.. Wallace, experience
proves, by repeated strikes in such an
industry, that the welfare OF the whole
country is damaged to an unendurable
degree by continued private ownership
and operation, feel we must consider
public ownership and operation. In
such case the workers in that industry
would. like other Federal employees. give
I'D the right to the ultimate resort
to the weapon of force, in the form
of a strike In return they would re-
ceive special benefits as Federal en-
ployes: Wages whose fairness would be
a matter of high public concern; special
provisions in the form OF hours and
conditions of work, and old age pen
sionS."
The former Vice President, while he
makes it clear Government ownership
and operation is to be the final step,
points the way for employees to force
the coal mines, the railroads, power
and light companies, and all public
utilities into public ownership-a course
that might eventually see steel and
other great essential materials go the
same way. He also points the way to
much the same kind of program as
that of the British Labor government
and to socialism.
Mr.. Wallace has word of warning
for labor leaders and labor unions, de-
spite the fact he has been their white
haired boy and candidate of some OF
them for the presidency. In his opinion,
because of aroused public sentiment,
this is no time for the unions to force
a rev series Of big strikes. Because
of the public temper" he said, "it seems
to me the part of wisdom for labor and
industry to do everything possible to
avoid serious strikes In l947."
In view of the record made by labor
unions in the year now closing, 1t looks
as though Mr.. Wallace's advice may
well be taken The Department of
Labor has just reported that the work.
ing time lost because Of strikes this
year is almost 300 per cent over previous
years-that 107,475,000 manvdays were
lost during the first II months, and
that this indicates total loss for the
year of 10000 900 man-days The high
est previous yearly loss was in 1S45.
with 38025,00O man-days. compared
with a prewar record of 28,424 900 in
1887.
Mr.. Wallace, however, sought to mini
mize the effect of strikes on the coun-
try's economy He said: Almost no one
mentions that in the year 1916 labor lost

enormously because OF war mdustry
And city services are under increasing
demands. Housing conditions are de-
plorable, and hence the problems OF
health and sanitation are greater. DIS
content with the people in Office will be
reflected in primaries and elections.
The honeymoon of the new Repub-
lican majority in Congress will be short
Sharp rivalry is already apparent In
the scramble for committee positions
and patronage. AS soon as Congress IS
organized, there will appear basic dill
ferences among Republicans on national
policies 1t is not going to be easy TO
do something about labor" Most men,
bers of the two houses want to do
something, but they also hope to hold
the support of the more conservative
labor elements Republican leadership
is counting on the support OF most OF
the AFL and some of the discontented
rank -and-file in the CIO.
The perennial tariff issue will emerge.
In this the Democrats will have the
best chance to split the opposition. Sew
eral proposals will be offered to limit
or repeal the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ment Act. Senator Wherry, who will
be powerful in the coming session, Will
probably lead the pro-tarin faction. The
present legislation will expire in June,
1e48. But a good deal can be done on
tariffs before that, if the protectionists
prevail.
\
The Democrats will also have sharp
internal political pains. It is evident
that the high command in the National
Committee needs overhauling. Its ham
ding of the congressional campaign was
bad. And wherever one goes among the
States, there is complaint that, since
the days of Farley, State and local DEM
ocratic organizations have deteriorated.
In some States, Democratic Party or
ganization is all but dead.
All these political problems, however
will be overshadowed by the rivalry
among presidential hopefuls The most
acute housing problems in 1947 will be
White Housing.
