Our Fantastic Housing
SitUution

Monsignor John O'Grady, chief
of Catholic charities in this coun-
try, has a disarming smile, an
alluring touch of Irish brogue and
a knowledge of economics seldom
found among the alleged 'experts"
amateur or professional.
He attended a housing conference
in Des Moines some time ago and
declared that the entire country
should share "the increased cost Of
building houses for veterans, just
as it shared the cost of the war"
That is, instead of lifting the
ceiling price on houses, Uncle Sam
would put up the difference be-
tween a fair price and the inflated
price. If this isn't done, said Father
OGrady, the veteran will shoulder
the entire added cost, with the re-
suit that when the supply of houses
increases, he will find himself
with a $4,000 house, while he is
paying service charges on a $4,000
house and before long he may find
the house is about to be sold over
his head"
Father O'Grady made the wise
observation that no person earning
$4,000, OF less, can afford to pay
more than $33 a month for a home,
and he emphasized that it was
practically impossible to get a
home for any such price anywhere
in the United States.
What makes this statement ap-
palling is that right now half our
people are earning $4,000 a year
or less. That means that Americans
can't even rent a home, and, of
course, it's ridiculous to say they
can buy one.
What sort Of a crazy world is
this when in the richest country
on the globe millions of citizens
Woodworking, decent citizens-can
neither buy nor rent the kind of
home an American should occupy?

NETWORKS WALKED FAT
IN WAR YEARS 1o4O-45

Money paid to the -four major
networks" by advertising 'spon-
sors" of radio programs rose rap
idly and steadily from 1915 900
in 1910 to $128, 533, 900 in 1945,
the Federal Communications Com
mission reported.
These huge and growing reve-
nues, an F. c. c. spokesman said,
prove that the radio chains"
could we'll afford to give more
time to public service" broadcasts
and less to commercial programs.
The networks are National, Co.
lumbia, Mutual and American.
During 1945, they added % radio
stations to their chains making
their control of broadcasting even
more complete than it was before.

WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE?

A New York newspaper, noted
for it's conservatism, gives first
page position to a story from Eng
land showing how British indus
try is salvaging wornout manpoW-
err" Employers have purchased IAN
imposing 300-acre country estate
and there British workers, who are
victims of industrial sub-health,"
are treated.
Those in charge have discovered
that when these unfoftunates are
given a chance to rest for a little
while, and to eat decent food re-
gularly, they come back to health
and strength in amazing fashion.
British industry is so pleased
with the results of this expert
ment' that it contemplates deve-
Looping it on a much larger scale.
Now will someone please tell us
what is the fundamental difference
between this experiment" of Bri-
fish industrialists and what John
L. Lewis and his coal miners sug-
gest should be done in this coun-
try?
At the moment, the only differ
ence we al see is that Mr.. Lewis

SCOURGES BEING
BROUGHT UNDER
CONTROL

Just about the most important
news of the week came from
gatherings of scientists. 1t held out
hope that two of mankind's worst
scourges are being brought under
control.
Army spokesman revealed to the
American College of Physicians at
Philadelphia that a new vaccine
developed during the war gives
protected persons a nine-to-one
chance to escape influenza.
DR.. Selman A. Waksman, dis
coverer of the wonder" drug
'streptomycin, told a Pittsburgh
gathering that the common cold
which piles up a terrific tool OF
misery and economic loss, will soon
be shackled by science.
DR.. Waksman went further and
predicted that the day is not for
off when both infantile paralysis
and tuberculosis will be brought
under practical control.
From the standpoint of suffer
ing humanity, either accomplish
ment would rank higher than the
developments of the atomic bomb

Stdtic Statistics Move A Little

The static Bureau of Labor Statistics has finally stepped off OF
dead center long enough to admit that the cost of most the necessities
the average family buys has risen over so percent since the war started
in Europe.
1t still maintains the old falacy, however, that the price index is
only 800 percent higher now than the 1935-39 average. The mystery
is how it can reconcile that figure with the fact that the cost of living,
according to its w estimate, has risen three percent in the last year
II also admits that from mid March to mid April the cost of food went
up IL percent-and remember that does not take in black market
prices although most of America today is buying off the black market
where there is no limit to the price but food at least is plentiful.
The cut in the size of bread loaves shot the price of bread up 48
percent-if you can find bread.
Maybe we ought to ask South America to put O a drive to starr
feeding us-Unied Mine Workers Journal.

FASHION NOTE

French dictators of female fash
ons will have to look elsewhere
than this country for acceptance
of their DEGREES.
Just now they are promoting
ankle length skirts and full sleeves,
but the sale of their creations on
this side of the Atlantic has been
banned by the Civilian Production
Administration.
The reasons: "A radical change
in style would outmode every gar
ment the American woman has in
her wardrobe" and "the demand
for new dresses would far exceed
the capacity of American indus
try"

Human activity shall be initiated
by the owners
And that
All human necessities shall be
produced for sale, rather than for
use, and for the profit of the own
ers of the means of production.
TO MAKE SUCH a system work
those distasteful things about which
nOn-OWners - and even owners
sometimes - have been complain
ing r necessary.
If capitalism is to function at
all:
Workers MUST produce surplus
values; they must make more than
they get.
The surplus MUST be the pro-
perry of the private owners of in
duStry.
That surplus MUST be sold at a
price that will provide profits for
the owners.
Those are the indispensable con-
ditions of the system which people
have been tolerating and approx
ing.
{ And so it is that the owners are
merely trying to make their system
work when they cut workers
wages in order to outstrip competi-
ton; close their industries and pro-
duce poverty in the presence of
abundance when they have more
SURPRISES than they can sell.

WHY SHOULD WORKERS DEPEND
UPON ANY Mere INDIVIDUAL?


THE FAULT LIES far less in
men than in the SYSTEM" wrote
Norman Thomas the other day in
an analysis Of the failure of price
control.
Now I think so highly of that
sentence that I'm wondering
whether it should not replace
"Workers of the World Unite" as
the slogan of Socialism. Thomas
succint statement contributes to
understanding, while the eXhorta-
ton of Marx which still quickens
the hearts of veteran Socialists is
an appeal to action. And it occurs
to me that action without under
standing, however WelI-intentioned,
may be productive of some sorry
consequences.

A WELCOME FORECAST

The forecast Of G. A. Lamb, assistant U. S. Bureau of Mines director,
Of market of at least 500 900 tons of bIuminous coal a year for the
next fifteen years is welcome news to the industry.
Lamb has based his forecast n a study of conditions and more
favorable markets which he expects to be developed soon.
Coal men in general will welcome this information and strive to
make it come true-The Progressive Miner.
Statistics show that the tobacco manufacturing companies made
profits of over $154,OOOOOO last year, and since their production is
increasing this year, their profits will be greater than ever. Fifty
eight per cent of all tobacco workers receive less than Csc per hour

WHENEVER l HEAR or read
an attack upon ''greedy' capital
lists, or upon politicians who, hav-
ing been elected as defenders of
capitalism, do whatever is neces-
sary to make the private-enter-
prise economy work, l think the
words that Norman Thomas wrote.
Of course, l don't express the idea
quite SO well. What l say is 'nuts!'
But the thought behind my in
elegant comment is the same.
Why should workers, with all
their numbers depend upon any
mere individual to do something
for them when they could do
everything for themselves?
It's not the man; it's the system.
IT'S HIGH TIME that people
understand that. Not only current
rising prices, but all of the events
and conditios which men and wo-
men beWail as evils are either the
results of the private-profit system
or necessary to its continued exist
ence.
And if this generation doesn't
like teh results or find the pre-
servation of capitalism too costly
then they'd better inaugurate an
other system as quickly as possible
and with all the intelligence thew
can muster. Crying out saying
ouch" and calling names isn't
going to help.
THE SYSTEM WHEREBY we
humans have been and still are
getting our food, clothing and
shelter is based upon the PROPOSE
ton that
The means of production and
d"lstrlbution; namely, natural re.
sources and important industries
shall be privately owned.
