CONSERVATIVE TREND

Yesterdays election was more than Repuohcah landslide It showed a definite swing away from the so-called lef-wing element of Congress and an antt labor vote Three States adopted proposals which would outlaw the closed shop Practically all of the CIO Political Action Committee candidates were de- feated as were these candidates who urged gve-in attitude towards Russia in o1r foreign policy.
 The American people have evidently had enough of labor codding and have demanded some regulation before labor strife wrecks the whole nation as it is wreckng Alaska today.
 The American people apparently also have decided that we are not going to appease Soviet Russia
 However with the executive branch of the Gov ernment still control of the Democrats, in spite of a generous Republican offer that President Truman resign it looks if little will be accomplished for the next two years. All key Congressional committees will of course be taken by the Republicans, and further appropriations for the Democratic bureaus which have been criticized by Republicans will prob ably be npped in the bud present funds run out.
 Today, the strongest potential COP Presidential candidate is still Governor Dewey of New York one time loser for the big job. But lot can happen in two years.

 The President showed .shreWdness in picking MT Averell Hartman for the portfolio of Commerce MT. Hartman combines in himself all of qualifica tions which had to be considered in choosing cessor to MT Wallace continuity with the New Deal and MT Roosevelt, standing in the business world big enough to appeal to the business community, a knowedgeabity in foreign relations particularly with Russia and Brtian-all these conspire to make the appointment a wise The former Ambassador to Moscow and London will be useful addition, besides, to the Cabinet No President in our history is better served with facts than MT Truman; none so ill served with understanding. Such defect, which arises from the deficiencies in his immediate advSorate will least be offset with MT Hartman enlisted in his official family.
 It has always been felt by those who know him and don't profess to-that MT. Hartman has con structive and comprehendng mind He did not show it when him in action in San Francisco but by all accounts-and his statement in London comes as confirmation-he is firmly welded to the use of resources in world reconstruction, both economically and culturay. He is heartily back of our propaganda work abroad He feels that in such the Danube, field of activity lies waiting for American enterprise in economic development. In other words, he would fight for peace" by betterng the worlds livelihood and propagang ideas of freedom Only by doing live to the responsibilities that destiny. has put doorstep of moral well | S material leadership.

the price of new cars by 10 per cent at the most, Instead states that the price has been increased by some 30 per cent It is welcome to find this belaed recognition that increases do have an impact upon prices but the implications of MT. Thomas statement that the increase in prices has been substantially greater than the recent wage in crease does not stand up upon examination
 Several increases in prices have been granted to automobile producers At the present time the prices cars may be about 30 per cent above the pre-war
 level But this rise certainly is not attributable solely to the 18 -cent wage earlier this year Ac cording to OPA, that wage advance made necessary an increase of only SIG to $60 for General Motors While precise figures of the average cost of cars are readily available increase of this magnitude certainly did average in excess of or per cent or substantially less than MT. Thomas 10 per cent estimate OPA permitted further rise of per cent in the price of in order to compensate for the higher costs of steel and other parts These higher prices reflected wage increased granted to workers in other industries In other words the purchaser of automobile must pay for the wage increase granted to steel workers well the higher wages paid to automobile workers.
 Most of the price rise over the prewar level has since V-J Day These other factors include the sub stantia increase in wage costs and material costs during the In controlled economy where costs the basis for price adjustments increases in costs must be reflected rather promptly in higher prices This has been demonstrated many times during the past months As the AFL noted in LaborS Monthly Survey for August practically the entire living cost rise has occurred since the steel workers forced the price ceiling break in February and direct result of this break" Labor leaders ought to examine fully the developments earlier this year before they inaugurate new series of wage demands, which in the absence of sharp increases in productivity can only force price increases.

Eaton has occupied pulpits in Toronto, Cleveland, New York, was once editor of Leslie's Weekly, served as Canadian correspondent for the New York Tribune and The Bos- ton Transcript.
 Ways and Means-Harold Knut- son of Minnesota, new chairman of this vital committee, is bad news both to his party and the country. He voted against practically every defense measure before Pearl Har- bor, claimed Hitler is displaying a forbearance that might well be emulated by statesmen of other countries" Personally pro- claimed the hraZen MT. KnutSon T cannot see much difference be- tween Germany's actions in Nor way and the New Deal program in this country"
 Knutson is noisy, irrepressible publicity loving, has a mania fol cutting taxes, especially in the higher brackets. He once made a bitter attack on the late Cardinal Mundelein for favoring the Reorganization Bill.

 Banking and Currency-This com mittee formulates all legislation dealing with Federal Reserve Sys- tenn, national banks and fiscal pol icy New chairman will be Jesse Wolcott of Michigan, sometimes called the General Motors repre- sentative in Congress" Wolcott is roly-poly, smart, has a sense of humor, sets policy for members of his party on fiscal affairs. First opposed to the British loan, he later championed it. Wolcott will move to knock out Federal Reserve Board Chairman Eccles policy of discouraging installment buying Big bankers will wear broad smiles when Wolcott takes over this com mittee.
 Interstate Commerce Chairman of this committee which deals with railroads, telephones and telegraphs is veteran Representative Charles A. Wolverton of Merchantville, N J. Though Wolverton has served in Congress longer than most col leagues, he doesn't hesitate to vote with the Democrats when it comes to labor and consumers. He voted against every crippling OPA am- endment, has the reputation of put ting the country ahead of party.
 Indian Affalrs-Karl Mundt of South Dakota, new chairman of this committee, is effective, re- sourceful, refreshing, packs weight with his colleagues. Mundt differs with Sol Bloom on everything pertaining to foreign affairs; hates Russia and once remonStrated good d-naturedly with Ibn Saud, rul- CT of Saudi Arabia, that he and other Congressman should be al- lowed to peek into the rulers harem. Mundt was a vigorous iso- lationist, revised his views during the. War. He checked down on Ernie Adamson, Counsel of the Rankin Committee, for opposing democracy and once kidded Rus sian chess players in Moscow that they were taking unfair advan- tage of American competitors by beginning their games at midnight
 National Deiense-Under the new reorganization of Congress, the for mer Naval and Military Affairs Committees will be merged into one, probably under the chair manship of Rep. Walter Ham Andrews of Buffalo, N. Y. An drews is a conservative, conscien- tious Congressman with a good rec ord in World War l, who believes that the sun rises and sets with the brass hats. The Army vii get what it wants from him. He will be a big improvement, how ever, over the retiring gentleman from Kentucky, Andrew Jackson May.
