From One War to Another

The nation will pause this year. Labor Day, 1946 to pay just tribute the industrial workers whom the United States-and the world-owe much. Theirs is a record magnificent achievement down through the and surely group Of citizens richly merits the proud title of Americans the signal honor of special holiday.
 It particularly appropriate that Labor Day should fall this year the first anniversary of VJ Day. For without the incredible aanments of industrial America during the of worldwide boodshed which followed Adolf Htlers assault Poland would not be cee brating the triumph of democracy and justice the e glons of blackness and hatred
 To say this express lack of appreciation for the vaor and sacrifices of the servcemen who carried the fight to the enemy and destroyed him. It simply to state truth which fighting themselves the first to concede The victorious soldier has always delegated large of his glory to he behind the be- hind the gun.
 That this Labor Day coincdes with the first anniversary of VI Day appropriate also because that fact should reminder that the United States is today in the midst of another, and perhaps equally grim The battles of
 this bloody pregnant with imaginative inspiration those of World War H. but they little less important
 This is the nflaton It, too is of produc- on it. too be in factories by industrial workers It. requires miracles of strength of stamina of skill In this in the last the United States has lost the first battles This is understandable almost n evitable.
 Labor having forced itself to work at full capacity seemingly endless years had reached the limit of human endurance when the Axis surrender The workers waned-ndeed needed-a rest perhaps extended tons They wanted higher wages than those with which they had been eontened in prewar days
 And so they struck Strikes brought them higher all right but with the increases something far less desrablersng prices And postwar production utterly unable under normal circumstances the tremendous pentup demand dsastrousy parayzed by the strikes, with the result that prices still higher
 Thus imitation came. But it is not yet too late for al production head off that nation Anyone who thinks 1t simply doesn't know the American worker and ,s tools So Sept. 946 salute his past accomplish ment the nation issues still another call real miracle man-the American aborer.

 So far the British Government has made no announcement to these mems future. Neither the Germans their British employers know whether they will remain in Britain six months six years
 The Governments failure to announce any policy IS under sharp attack by the press Tory papers like Lord Rothermeres Daily Mail and Lord Beaverbrookis Daily Express attack the Government for making that the prisoners be returned forthwith Germany and that British agriculture be entirely dependent on British laborers

(EDITOR'S NOIE-Whlle Drew Pearson Is on . brief vacation, his column will be written by eral distinguished guest columnists-today's by Commodore John D. Small, Administrator, Civilian Production Administration
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-One of the most un- expected things that has ever happened to me has been to be invited to write column for Drew (obfuscation spelled sdeways) Pearson. There is no point in my trying to compete with the crack making expert will write about my field-production and try to give you clear picture of the progress industrial America is making back to free enterprise.
 Our countrys industrial production recovered sharply in June to a postwar peak and in July production climbed still further to point higher than our best prewar year In August production has steadily increasded The outlook is heartening noth ing occurs to rock the boat and production is a- lowed to continue without interruption for at least the next five or six months.
 In the case of many products we are now pro- ducng far more than pre-war and in the of others producing less. Products being produced at high speed those which do not require the of materials Industry is still plagued with shortages created, intensified, during the wide spread labor-management disputes throughout the first half of this year, and these shortages slow ing down production of many things need the most.
 For example, there simply isn't enough sheet steel to around in spite of the fact that steel is now being produced at very high rate. As result, considerably fewer automobiles, refrigerators wash ing machines, and many other consumer items are being produced. Similar shortages ot copper and lun- Der are also slowing up production.
 Rumors crop up every week that goods being withheld from the markets that speculative hoardng on wide scale is going en- It simply is not true. On the whole, over all inventories at every level-manufacturer. wholesaler, and retailer-are lower today per dollar sale than they were pre-war.
 Every now and then someone starts rumor that enormous quantities of goods being exported Again-it simply is not true. All the agen- cles Of government that concerned are watching exports of scarce materials very carefully, and alert to stop any undue drain that might harmful to our economy
 Retail sales continuing at record breaking high levels. The public is for the goods 1t was unable to obtain during the war years In sequence retail stores drained of items as rapidly as they are put sale
 Take mems suits, for example. The demand is terrific yet the facts that in the first months of 1946 there was produced about 1900 900 mems suits, plus 3,50000O separate coats, and 100000 separate pants Ia total we'll above prewar peak pro- ductlon). The veterans still having tough time getting outfltted The situation would be greatly eased Ii every man who does not absolutely have to have new suit would refrain from buying for the next two or three months, and give the veteran chance to get outfitted for college or job.

Stabilizing Wage Dollars

Writing in official AF. of L. publication, William Green recently urged the 100000 members of his oganza ton to stabilize their wage dollars by helping to increase volume of production which wipe scarcte and the danger of runaway infaton. An accompanying cartoon drives this thought home with it's capton Bring prices down by producing the goods!'
 If Mr. Green is able to make this felt he will be doing signal service for all the American people, as we'll union labor For the New York Herald Tribune puts it. Here in the simplest terms is the fundamental to the whole problem of infation-productlon. There of other factors involved, such ex- cessve spending which in itself strong in aonary influence But production is at the root of every thing.

cannot be released without mutilating the whole demobllization scheme and at the same time weak ening Britains armed forces upon which there are still many great calls. Undoubtedly this is one of many in which Britains government planners" and what happens
 German prisoners working in British agriculture receive only sixpence day. But lest the British farm worker feel that wage scales being depressed by this slave labor the farmer is compelled to pay four pounds per week to the Government for each prisoner employed Thus, the Government is making a pretty penny out of the prisoners. This one of the facts in the situation which is particli- lary troublesome to all Christian coscences in Brit ain.
 Under international law prisoners of war cap- tured by victorious power need not be returned until after the signing Of peace treaty. Therefore on strictly legal grounds the Government has good case But it Is not strictly legal grounds that the average Englishman views this problem.
 Already the Government is paying sOOOoooo pounds a year to feed and organize the British zone in Germany. Many Engishnen are asking why these German prisoners do not go back aad grow food in their own country where they no doubt would work even harder than they do here and thereby would reduce the drain on British resources. Though the prisoners well housed well fed and we'll clothed there is doubt that they have deep- seated nos talgia for Germany. Though they know that life would be comparably harder at home than it is in Britain, overwhelming majority would like to re- turn forthwith
 So far, the only indication of policy from the British Government is an admission that, beginning in September 2,0O0 per month will be repa triated In view, however of the current agitation it is safe to guess that the harvest is gathered this rate will have to be sharply accelerated.

The desperate need for housing is too we'll known to need repetition. Many factors are retardng hons nances shortages of skilled abor lack of sufficient number of apprentices rising costs of home building including both materials and labor and last but not leaSt shortages of materials. CPA has Jurisdiction over only the last of these factors.
 Ever since VIE Day, CPA has been using its powers to increase the supply of building materials The results clear. Ever since midsummer of 1945 the production of building material has been increas ing steadily and substantially. all goes well and building material production continues to increase steadily, shortages of building materials will become less dless retarding factor in home building and other factors will assume increasing importance
 At present and for some time ahead material shortages will plague For this reason the CPA must still continue to hold down non-housing con- struction Only those projects that are absolutely essential and non-deferabe can be authorized to go ahead. All such projects reviewed by CPA mittee of unpaid outstanding citizens familiar with local necessities So that the public is kept informed a neWspaperman sits on each such committee.
 Both in this column and elsewhere lot has been written about the CPA control order Everyone knows that the veterans need jobs well homes Every one admits that a certain amount of commercial industrial and educational construction must go ahead. The $64 question is How much?"
 It would be disastrous if, in our eagerness to build homes for veterans, wrecked their chances to living. CPAs operation of its construction control order will be guided by the belief that vet erans housing and the minimum essential recon version of industry and commerce can and must go forward together.
 
 Upon occasions, have been criticized for not stepping construction which under way prior to the issuance of order In my opinion for the government to step in and stop construction already legally under way would not be fair equitable Many veterans with whom have discussed this matter agree with CPA's position
 So long building materials scarce every citizen who wants to help veterans housing do 1t by deferring all the construction, repair main tenance that he possibly can. In the aggregate the deferrng of small jobs that require materials would greatly ease the situation.
 During the war industrial America had its prob- lenls-plenty of them-but they were solved People reasonable and tolerant and reconciled their differences. As result, production scared to amazing heights.
 Today industrial America has different and in many ways difficult problems. Yet the need for production, for steady, sustained aout production; for flood of goods at competitive prices, is greater now than ever before. Give that flood of goods for the next five six months and we will have licked imitation and be the high road leading to- ward sound prosperity and the highest standard of living in the history of mankind.
 We need not we must not, tumble countrys golden opportunity and I, for one convinced that will not.
