water. The annual economic loss
resulting from water pollution has
been variously estimated at from
a hundred million to a billion
dollars.
The history of local and state
attempts at effective pollution con-
troll is a record of futility. For over
so years now municipalities and in
dustries, States and individual pol
luters have wrangled among them
selves as to who should pay the
bills.
Law Enforcement Lax.
There are now, to be sure, pollu-
ton control laws in most of the
States, but the enforcement of those
laws is a joke without humor, for
a river may flow through any num-
ber of States and cities. If one
State decides to enforce its anti
pollution laws, industry will threat
en- to move on to another State
where it will be free of the expense
of waste treatment.
The only answer to this badly
muddled situation seems to be Fed
eral control. Attempts in this direc-
ton have so far been abortive. The
first Federal pure streams bill was
introduced in the Senate in 1886

Industrialists argue that it is a
great deal cheaper and easier to
dump waste into the nearest river
than it is to keep our waters clean
1t is only cheaper for the indus
trialists 1t is not cheaper for the
community. 1t is not cheaper for
other holders of lands on the edge
of the polluted waters. Would the
reader. for instance, be willing to
pay more for land on the edge of
a clear sparkling river, or for land
bordering on an open sewer? In
dustrial polluters even ignore the
fact that some wastes can be profit
ably treated.

feet solution of the problem, but its
passage would have meant a good
start. It recognized the Importance
of establishing control on a water
shed basis. regardless of State
boundary lines; it encouraged the
enactment of uniform State laws,
interstate compacts and the CO.
operation with State agencies, and
offered Federal aid to States, mu-
inequalities and industrial enter
prises.
The bill had a good many loop
holes through which acute indus
trialists might have squirmed, as
industrialists are sometimes prone to
do. But it was a start, and similar
legislation should have a high place
on the agenda of the next Congress.

futile every attempt to restrict then

At the last session, though public
sentiment was deeply stirred by the
wave of great strikes eliminating
In the coal and railroad strikes
which really took the Nation by the
throat, Congress was unable to en-
act any of the several proposals to
correct what seemed to have be-
come an intolerable state of affairs
Mr.. Truman's veto killed the Case
bill which Congress had passed and
Congress refused to give Mr.. T'ru-
man the legislation he asked TO
deal with the railroad crisis.
CIO Threats Failed.
After what the country had been
through as result of its lack of a
labor policy. it seemed almost in
credible that the session should ad-
journ without action of any sort.
But to the delight of the labor
bosses and their radical friends and
the great distress of most of the
people, that is exactly what it did.
During the session and immedi-
ately following, the CIO leaders,
through their publicity machine. an
nounced their intention of going
into the primaries of both parties
with the view of driving out of
public life the members of Con-
gress who are not our friends
in brief, those who had not voted
as directed
1t is interesting to record that
they were singularly unsuccessful
in carrying out this threat. Instead
of being defeated in nearly every
primary contest, the candidates op-
posed by the CIO were renominated
without trouble. In some instances
the CIO Endorsement was clearly
3 liability instead of an asset. This
however, has in no way diminished
the arrogance of the CIO politicians
and the same threats are now being
repeated for the general election
Nor has CIO primary futility
1essened the number of strikes. Or
the contrary. within the last few
weeks these have been more violent
and menacing than before. Also
the defiance of the presidential
authority has been more open and
in effect, the strikes have been
against the Government itself. Ger
tainly that was true in the shipping
strike.
Parade of New Demands.
In the next two or three months
new parade of wage demands is
expected, which will still futher in
crease the cost of living, enhance
imitation and disclose governmental
impotency.
1t Is obvious that we are moving
toward a great economic decision
In the next session, in response to
public sentiment and to recover our
national Self-respect, either Con-
gress will pass and the President
sign effective labor legislation estab-
lisning a real labor policy that will
protect the public and restore the
dignity of the Government, or ii
will acknowledge its inability to
remove the hoof which is on our
neck and submit permanently to
labor subserviency which inevita-
bly, means drastic changes in the
American system.
