Strikers Must Suffer Too

Hope of a speedy settlement OF the
maritime strike faded yesterday when
a Department of Labor mediator in
San Francisco acknowledged he had
made no progress in his attempt to
negotiate a peace with Harry Lunde-
berg, chief Of the go, 900 striking Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor seamen on the
West coast.
Lundeberg is quoted as saying his
men will not return to work until a
wage cut ordered by the Sterilization
Board is junked. His position has the
support of 400, 900 additional AFL and
CLIO workers, with shipping in all Ameri-
can ports at a practical ~standsti4. In
a radio address he added that the strike
would continue until wage advances
negotiated with ship owners are approx
ed at Washington.
1t is not for laymen to argue for
or against the position of the strikers
or the justice of their claims. But it
is apparent to any layman who gives
the situation serious thought that by
hating the nations shipping the strik-
ers are jeopardizing their own living
conditions a. seriously as any group in
the country's population.
If the meeting of the War Stabiliza-
ton Board today fails to reach a decision
acceptable to the strikers and the tie
up continues, the consequence of result
ing spoilage and shortages will fall as
heavily upon members of the unions
involved in the strike and their families
as on anyone else.
Even though the strikers ultimately
gal. all their demands, the damage that
will have been done to the nations
economic stability w%illy-nilly must be
shared by them too.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-09-10

to turn their minds away from thoughts
of war to sheer idealism?
AS matters now stand, the nations
are getting nowhere fast toward re-
establishment of peace. Even while ar
alleged peace conference is under way in
Paris every major power is concentrate
ing on the development of new and more
deadly weapons. There can be no stable
peace as long as this situation continues.
The atomic platform is all right. We
heartily endorse it. But we believe that
the worlds chief need could Is well or
better be met by universal adoption OF
the Golden Rule. It is only necessary
for all peoples to do unto others as they
would have others do unto them, to
dwell in peace with each other.

No Olympic Baseball

If the peace goose hangs high by
1913, London is to be the scene of the
Olympic contests.
At the closing session of the Inter
national Olympic Committee in Laus-
anne the decision was to exclude base
ball from the contests. We feel the
committees judgment was good in SC
deciding.
II would be manifestly unfair to ask
teams of other countries to compete ii
a game in which America excels.
To include baseball would be. an in.
vitation for the British to include eric
ket, in which they are tops.
In fact, all strictly national games
have no place in a world athletic com
petition.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-09-10

balance as a commercial deb
would justify similar requests
from India and other nations
whose aggregate balance is. much
more than Argentina's.
Britain does not look upon the
Argentine OR other balances as
commercial debts, in the strict
sense; they were accumulated
while Britain was fighting a wal
for mutual benefit.
What Britain offers is to draw
up a liquidation schedule over q
long term. This would give Ar.
gentina the goods it wants, but
not so soon.
Negotiations in Buenos Aires
almost broke off this week, after
the crisis of the trade treaty
lapse. The stumbling block is a
refusal of Britain to talk about
the sterling block until the meat
contract and the future of the
railway investment are discussed.
Conversely, Argentina wants to
settle the sterling question before
tackling anything else.
Perhaps more tactical than real,
the stalemate was underlined by
the decision of the British trade
mission to visit Uruguay to discuss
trade matters.
Peron Sees Leeper
After Foreign Minister Juan
Bramujlia affirmed what the
stumbling block was, it was dis
closed that Britain's Ambassador,
Sir Reginald W. Leeper, had an
unheralded conference with Presi-
dent P e r o n. The independent
daily, Ell Mundo, reported that
the conference resulted in a post
ponement Df a commurique on
the negotiations. An undisclosed
formula had been reached on how
the issue could be solved.
Expiration of the 1888 treaty
went unnoticed in London. The
Board of Trade reports no official
knowledge of any alterations in
duties on British goods. Presum-
ably, higher duties would now be
paid.
Until a few days ago, the mis-
sion, which had been in Argen-
tina for eight weeks, was ex-
pected by London to return, un-
successful. But news of a compro-
mise formula has revived hope.
Although Britain regards the
price for Argentine beef
as a "hold-up," General Peron
Iee!s it is fair so long as it meets
onl1ed States prices. At the ex-
p1ratlon, the price went to s120.
allegedly the same as Britain
would have to pay for an AVERAGE
american steer, according to Gen
eral Peron.

A PALESTINE SAINT

News from Palestine - that al
most insoluble problem - takes
second place in my thoughts this
morning; for the report has be.
latedly arrived of the death there,
by the shore of the Galilce
he loved, of DR.. A. c. Harte, a great
personality and a dear friend. He.
above all other persons l have
known, had a passion for the land
of the Lord and for the Lord OF
the Land. To have traversed large
sections of it in his company was
a privilege and an obligation.
In Jerusalem his memorial will
long stand in the unique and SYM
bolical and beautiful Y.M.C.A.
Building, which he dreamed into
being. His home, "Peniel,' on the
shore of Galilee above Liberals, he
had made into a service center for
soldiers and travellers. Significantly
his grave in his garden is marked
upon the Lake. His tomb is in
scribed with three quotations, OF
his own choosing:
I'VE would see Jesus"
Whom, having not seen, 1 love-"

A Fallacious Proposition

With fresh meats nearing an unpre-
cedented shortage a proposal is heard
in Chicago for the government to take
over and operate the industry.
Is there any reason to assume that
the government, through whose bungl-
ing the present scarcity exists, could
solve a problem it has itself created?
Is there any reason to think that the
government could be more successful
in putting meat in butcher shops than
it was in operating the railroads when
they were nationalized in World War
T.?
Is there any good reason to think
the government could do better with
meat than it did with the air mails
when it took this business away from
private carriers and turned it over to
Army filters at a time when the ARMY
Air Force vas at it's lowest level in
equipment and efficiency?
Can We believe the government might
make a better showing with meat than
it did with nationalized coal? Or with
Montgomery Ward, or any industrial
plant it seized during World War II?
To nationalize any business can re-
suit only in more and worse confusion.
Reconversion can never be ACCOMPLISH
ed by this means.
The only hope the people can safely
entertain of ever getting back to normal
and eventually overcoming initiation is
through the restoration of business and
industry to private enterprise-the
b%ureaucrats, labor leaders and COM
munists to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.

Anglo-Argentine trade relations
have run into Unexpectedly heavy
head winds. Argentina, long known
as the unofficial sixth dominion
of the British Commonwealth, Sc
far as economics are concerned,
appears set on a course to refuse
any special favors to its historic
business partner.
A nationalistic curse towards
economic self-sufficiency is being
followed by the Peron Govern

the purchase of the huge tele-

TRY The Golden Rule

In a report just publicized, the Ma
tional Committee on Atomic Informa-
ton declares the United States proposals
for atomic energy control unlocks the
door of a new era ofspeace and security.
Without more ado it may be said that
lacking some form of control of this
new destructive power, in which all ma
tions voluntarily and intellectually
participate, there can be no peace or
security.
Returning to the report, which was
prepared by Livingston Hartley, edi-
torial director Of the committee, we
learn that ten consequences" are cited
which "open new vistas" for collabora.
ton and unified action. These planks
in the atomic platform, if the term is
applicable, are:
1. Freedom from fear of an atomic
surprise attack.
2. Reduction to minimum of danger
that atomic weapons might be used fol-
aggression through prior seizure of
atomic plants.
8. Sturdy bulwarks against any ma
jor wars.
4. Regulation and reduction of
ornaments.
5. Growth Of international conf.
dence.
6. Increase in the authority, impor.
lance, and effectiveness of the u. N.
Z. Improved relations and coopera.
ton between the western democracieS
and Russia.
8. Progressive increase in human
welfare and living standards THROUGH

that they are therefore unavoidable
