Comment On World Events

The full story of how gigan-
tic combination of German chemi-
cal companies, |. G.. Farbenindus-
trie, built up its own power and
Nazi influence before the war by
working out restrictive trade
agreements with leading producers
in America, England and other
countries is told in new survey
soon to be issued by the Twentieth
Century Fund, New York City.
At the outbreak of war, our
capacity to supply our armed serv-
ices with needed munitions, syn
thetic rubber and other supplies
was hampered by restrictions that
had been imposed on American
firms by /. G. Farbenindustrie
agreements, this forthcoming re-
port on Cartels in Action charges.
The findings, which will cover Z
other major industrial fields in
addition to the chemical industries,
are being prepared by George w.
Stocking and Myron w. Watkins.
Advance sections of their report
were made public recently by
Evans Clark, executive director of
the Twentieth Century Fund.
The report traces the history
and aggressive poves from the
time the "Big Six" chemical firms
of Germany came together in 1925
to form the lnteressengemeins-
C h a It, Farbenindustrie A. G.,
which literally translated means
Community of Interests, Dye
stuffs, Industries, Inc"
"After the Nazis came to
power" says the report, '1G's re-
lationship to the German govern
ment became more intimate . 1t
b ecame increasingly difficult
throughout the thirties to distin-
guish between IG's purely business
objectives and the political aims
for which it served as a Nazi in
strument. In it's cartel activities
it merged business and politics;
which of these factors prodomin-
ated in shaping IG policy is per-
haps relatively unimportant. What
is significant is that its patent
controls and cartel relationships
permitted IG to exercise a restric-
tive influence on the American
chemical industries which was in
compatible with American econo-
mic and political interests"
One of the devices used by the |
cartel was to set up subsidiary |
in America which would
be jointly owned by IG and the
firm. One such subsidi- |

Guild Strike
In Los Angeles
Is Still On

Los Angeles (FP)-The strike
of more than 500 guildsmer
against Hearst's Herald Express
here is still going strong, Secre-
tary William Brodie of the Los
Angeles Newspaper Guild said
Nov. 12.
The nations wire services jump
ed the gun in announcing the
strikes end after ANG President
Milton Murray presented tenta-
tive strike settlement plan which
management accepted.
The strike continued, however,
as management failed to get tenta-
tive agreements from five printing
crafts and news vendors which
would allow the paper to resume
publication. A Printing Trades
Council spokesman said one of its
five member unions had rejected
Hearst proposal for a return to
work with arbitration of the issue
of retroactive pay to Oct. 2l,
when 300 printers were cut off the
payroll. News vendors are de-
manding retroactive pay for the
period of the entire lockout, which
began Sept. d.
A guild membership meeting
still has to act on the Murray set
tlement formula. The tentative
proposal calls for a return to work
with immediate acceptance of a Ia
per cent wage increase offer, pre-
viously rejected by the LANG on
Murray's advice, and continued ne
gotiation for higher wages.
If no agreement is reached in 60
days, the guild alone can request
arbitration within a 30-day period.
Final scales will be retroactive.

AM Walls For
Pre-Wur Charge

Washington (FP)-One million
babies whose delivery is paid fol
by the government on government
terms is enough, according to the
American Medical Association
which wants to return to the pre-
war arrangement of charge what
the traffic will bear.
In commenting of Federal
Security Administration announce
ment that the Emergency Matern-
ity and Infant Care Program has
financed the birth Of one million
babies of servicemen in the four
lowest pay grades, an ANA
spokesman told Federated Press
that the doctors group supported
the program as patriotic serv-
ice" during the war.
Now, however, the ANA is op-
posed to subsidization Of medical
fees by the government, but he ad-
mitted that country doctors in poor
districts got better payments for
their services under the govern
ment plan than they would have
been the case without it.
City practitioners and special
lists, he said, were not allowed to
charge their usual fees and had to
lower their charges to a govern
ment ceiling to qualify for the pro-
gram. The charge Of $50 for deliv-
cry, three prenatal and one post
natal visit, he thought was too
low
The FSA announcement showed
that Uncle Sam had paid almost
100 million dollars in doctor and
hospital bills to care for and deliy-
er the million Gil babies. About
100000 more babies covered by the
program are on the way. Over
100000 children have received adj
ditional medical, hospital or nurs-
ing care during their first year of
life, with some complications cases
being paid for at more than 81 1000
each.
At the programs height the
government was paying bills for
one out Of seven babies born in
the u. S., between 10000 and 45,-
600 a month.

and Standard Oil Of New JerseA
Describing the workings of thiN
agreement, as brought out in testi-
money before the Senate Subcom-
mittee on Military Affairs in l94o,
the research directors find that
ZIG withheld essential 'know-how
from Jasco and refused to let II
develop Buna rubber in the United

forced Jasco to close it's Baton
Rouge 'E' plant, the acetylene and
acetic acid project"
Nitrogen compounds are essen
tial in the manufacture of explo-
sives. And another Jasco venture
definitely contemplated by Stand
and and IG was the manufacture
Of synthetic ammonia nitrogen
;. IG vetoed this project"
The report says that without ex-
ception, IG's cartel compacts with
American firms restrict American
exports and reserve to 1G impor-
tant sectors of the world market.
They provide for an exchange of
technical information and cross
licensing of patents, present and
future. IG has apparently had two
major detectives in making these
agreements: participation in the
American market without disturb
ing it's stability or losing control
of basic 'know-how' and patent
rights, and protecting itself from
comnatition in other markets.

British Body
Opposes EquoI
Pay For Women

London (ALN)-British labor's
drive to crack the core Of indus
try's cheap labor supply received a
severe setback Nov. 10 when a
government-appointed royal com
mission ended months-lo long study
with a report opposing equal pay
for women workers. In many Brit
ish industries, women get as little
as 80 per cent of the pay given
men on the same jobs.
Basis for the commissions rec
ommmendation is that women are
less efficient and less reliable than
men who spend their whole lives
at single trade. The commission
also placed considerable weight on
the employers argument that any
increase in women's wages would
have to be absorbed by price
rises.
+ British unions presented evil
dence to the commission showing
that the acute manpower shortage
in many industries has been caused
by the withdrawal Of women. They
pointed out that if the government
fails to take positive stand this
movement will be accelerated. 1t
will accentuate the manpower
shortage at time when the gov
ernment is proposing to drain the
labor supply further by a ocm-
pulsory draft.
Government figures support the
union presentation. They show
that the number of women in in
dustry, which hit a wartime peak
of 100000, has already dropped
to the prewar level of 2,25O,0OO.
They also show that women have
moved out of the low-paid indus
tires in which they predominated
before the war.
For example, only 100000 wo-
men were in the chemical, engin-
eering and construction industries
in 1889. Today they number 54O,-
600. On the other hand, the number
Of women in textiles and hosiery
has shrunk from 100000 to $4,000.
In the latter industries, important
to British export trade, wages and
conditions are notoriously poor and
there is now a desperate labor
shortage.
hoThe numerous unions in which
mems scales are directly affected
by the employment Of women at
lower rates are certain to meet
the royal commission recommends
tion with spirited protest.
The London Trades Council, rep
resenting 100000 workers, already
announced its support Of confer
ence on the question on Dec. 7,
International Women's Day. Labor
delegations are also being organi-
zed to visit members Of Parliament
or the issue.

THE CHERRY TREE

There is no way Of knowing
just what brew caused the recent
election results, but it is certain
that resentments were running
high to cause an over trun that
great.
Now we have predictions (anc
they were forseeable) to the effect
that we shall have new labor legis-
lation, mostly looking backward.
IL is quite likely that the predic-
tions will come true, in one way oil
another.
This column has discussed such
prospects and it has been stated
that, for some of the reaction like
ly to happen in legislation, labor
itself must carry a share Of the
responsibility.
This has to be faced: Regardless
Of the justice Of its claims, there
have been too many times when
its failure to explain its case to
the public in such a way that the
public could understand it, has
caused public resentment.
This truth applies especially to
the big strikes that have affected
great numbers of persons not in
any way connected with the dis
pute.
Now, as for Congress and what
ever il may do, it may be asked
what reason there is for putting
labor legislation on "A partisan
basis.
We have come TO the point
where our foreign policy is BIZ
partisan. Why should not our leg
islative labor policy be either BIZ
partisan or preferably, non-par-
tisan?
Why should Republicans want to
soak labor? What is there basic
in the Republican party that re-
quires legislative hostility to
labor?
And what is there basic in the
Democratic party that should re-
quire it to take a partisan atti-
tude !?
Labor's relation to employers
and to whole people is economic.
There is nothing political about
economics or economic relation
ships. Not a thing.
There is much Republican talk
about amending the Wagner Act.
Maybe so, but why must il be done
as partisan measure? =? Why not
have it done studiously, as a seien-
tist would do it?
Sooner or later-and not very
much later-this nation has got TO
get down TO the business Of devel-
oping labor relations on a basis of
workability, so that justice will re-
suit and so that great work stop
pages need not happen.
Work stoppages where a prin-
ciple must not be stopped, or
gagged.
But there is no principle in the
adjustment of hours or wages.

a program of this sort because
they are the one cash crop grown
ir this area that can be produced
and sold without any reduction of
livestock feeding. While a 40-acre
crop of potatoes or beans leaves
little or no feed for livestock, the
by-products alone from an average
40-acre beet crop have a value equal
to some 1900 bushels of corr and
so tons of alfalfa for feeding cattle
or lambs and for the production Of
feed-lot manure. In other words,
this 4O-acre yield of sugar beets can
produce livestock feed in tops and
pulp equal to that produced by "a
acres of corn and 16 acres of alfal-
ia; while in tops alone, this crop
will leave the equivalent of some
9 acres of corn and 10 acres of
alfalfa for feeding on the farm.
The best and quickest means for
building soil fertility on any farm
today after the recent period of
wartime stimulation of small grain
and rowed crops, is to get back to
a normal rotation, including alfal-
fla hay and sugar beets, that will
provide the maximum amount of
Homegrown feeds for livestock.

Those who have opportunity tt
closely study soil fertility are con.
cerned about the heavy loss OF
plant food from the soil of Amer
lean farms. Their studies indicate
a steady drain of the natural sol
with which this country
was originally endowed and an urg-
ent need to replenish this soil fer
tility with feed-lot manure and COM
mercial fertilizers.
Ollie Fink of the Ohio State con
~servation department, in a recent
talk before the Colorado Forestry
and Horticultural association, made
a telling comparison of bones taken
from two animals-one making a
normal growth from feed produced
on fertile soil, the other showing
unmistakable signs of malnutrition
due to lack of plant nutrients in
the soil that produced the feed with
which it was grown.
Agricultural areas of the East
have been farmed for a much longer
period than the irrigated areas of
the Intermountain West, but there
is already evidence to indicate a
steady annual loss of fertility on
many farms in this comparatively
newer area.
Soil fertility balance studies,
where the total amount of
plant food taken from the soil by
crops grown is compared to the
amount that can be returned to the
soil by feed-lot manure produced
from livestock feed grown on the
farm, show that even with the
maximum production of livestock
feed there is still an annual loss of
fertility, although this loss is only
about 1919 as high where crops are
marketed through livestock.
These studies indicate the advent
of a new era in farming, where re-
naming natural resources must be
bolstered by a substantial feeding
program on every farm and with
The use of green manures, and also
commercial fertilizers when their
need is indicated.
An abundance of low cost, farm
yrown roughage, and by-products
will be needed for such a program,

concentrates will also be needed to
,elp replace the fertility taken by
ash crops, like wheat, potatoes,
