Chinese End Strife

Rejecting efforts of the U. S.
to unity strife-ridden China,
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
brought his Is years of authori-
tartan rule in the country to an
end with the announcement that
henceforth political parties can
openly organize and conduct
their campaigns in accordance
with legal rights and proceed
ures.
Chang made his historic pro-
nouncement at the closing of po-
litical consultative conference in
Chungking, where nationalist,
communists and other parties
had gathered for the adjustment
of differences and creation Of
unified state to open the way for
broad economic development in
hitherto backward China.
Before adjourning, the consul
tative conference had arranged
for meeting of national as
sembly in May to draw up
new constitution. Over $500
delegates are to attend, with
Chiang's Kuomintang party pos
sessing over so per cent of the
representation and the commu-
nists the second largest. Re-
flecting the views Of the dele
cation as whole, a 35-man ALE
party committee will draw up
the document.

CONGRESS-:
Labor Curb

Despite the frightening industrial
picture, a strong coalition Of Re-
publicans and conservative Demo-
Gratis in congress moved for adop-
ton Of restrictive labor legislation
against the vehement protests Of
liberal members.
Amid charges by Representative
SABBATH (Dem., Ill.) that the con-
sentative bloc was being used by
Wall street, 1853 Republicans and
los Democrats joined forces to pile
up 258 to ia vote for immediate
consideration of bill which would
set up a labor-management media
ton board; provide for 30-day cool
ing off period before a strike or lock-
out; make both parties liable for
violations of a labor contract; pro-
hibit unionization of supervisory
employees, and ban sympathy walk
outs.
While liberal members vigorously

turns, Ford said that the productive
ity of the big manufacturers de-
pended upon suppliers' activities.
If price control were abolished, he
declared, the heat Of competition for
markets would bring down the cost
level.
s In keeping with his announced
position for firm control, President
Truman rejected Ford's suggestion
in news conference, asserting that
the removal of OPA regulation would
result in wild imitation with it's disas-
trous effect upon purchasing power.
Henry IFS attack against price
control came even as clothing and
shirt manufacturers blamed OPA
for the insufficiency of stocks on
dealers shelves in the face of tre-
mendous demand from consumers.
Charged with Withholding at least
100000 suits from the markets,
clothing makers were particularly
resentful of OPA regulations, claim
ing that with their recent grant of
a 221s per cent increase in wages
to workers price readjustments
were necessary to permit them an
adequate profit.
Shirt manufacturers raped the
OPA's so-called maximum aver
age" price regulation for failure to
produce adequate stocks, claiming
that they were unable to turn out
more of the better grade items in
the face of a shortage Of cheaper
fabrics because OPA required bal
anced output of all types.

UNO:
Avoid Strife

Invoking article SO Of the United
Nations charter calling upon quar-
reling governments to attempt con-
ciliation of their difficulties first be-
fore appealing to UNO, Russia
moved to settle her differences with
little Iran privately and take the
matter out of the hands of the Sc
curity council.
BY so acting, the Reds succeeded
in avoiding a ticklish situation with
in UNO itself, with possibilities that
the U. S., Britain, France and China
might have placed Moscow in a
compromising position in Investigate
ing the row. In permitting the Reds
and Iranians to thrash out their own
problems, however, the security
council called upon the disputants
to report on the progress of their
negotiations.
In originally appealing to UNO to
look into the controversy, Iran had
charged the Russians with interior
ing with government efforts to SUBJ
due leftist rebellion in the north
west province of Azerbaijan. Sent
into the oil-rich country in 1912 to
guard supply lines leading into
southern Russia, Red and British
troops were scheduled to pull out
early this spring.

their relations, the Big Three

tary-general of UNO. Russ-backed,
the selection of the bulky Norwe-
gian foreign minister offset the ear
lier elevation of British-backed Paul
Henry Spaak of Belgium as presi-
dent. :
The U. S. played key role in
balancing the powers through the
elections. After the Russians had
charged Secretary Of State Byrnes
and company of having double
crossed them in not pushing Lies
candidacy for president as against
Sparks, Chief Delegate Edward r.
Stettinius later arranged for the
Norwegian's selection as secretary
general in five-power pow-wow in
his Claridge hotel suite.
The son of a carpenter who be-
came active in the Norwegian labor
movement Immediately after his
graduation from Oslo university in
1919, reddish-faced, bustling Lie
will occupy a key position in UNO
as secretary general, having within
his power the authority to submit
any problem he chooses to the Sc
curity council.

FARM MACHINERY:
OUTPUT of

Hampered by material shortages,
inexperienced help, inability of sup
pliers to deliver parts and strikes,
farm machinery manufacturers do
not look for attainment of peak pro-
duction until later this year or early
l947.
When full-scale operations are re-
sumed, it was said, companies will
first concentrate on the output OF
parts for worn equipment since
many farmers will be compelled to
make their machinery do until new
units begin to appear in satisfactory
volume.
AS it is, manufacturers efforts to
meet a part Of the tremendous de-
mand for plows, planters and cult
vators for spring use have been
crimped by production difficulties,
with no substantial deliveries OF
these items forthcoming.
With 10000 workers of the Inter-
national Harvester company out on
strike over demands for 80 per
cent wage increase, the total of idle
employees in the industry approx
mated $4,000 Of 10000.

Truman Labors Under

CONGRESS Seen Taking Advantage OF Pres-

fort (begun by Theodore Rooseveit)
to try to house the Office work OF the
President under the roof OF the
Presidents House." but ! mention
this controversy simply because 1t
reflects the seamy side OF White
House-congress relations. Many OF
the Presidents friends feel that
trying to make a modern office out
of a beautiful old American colonial
residence is folly, but they also felt
that much of the Juror raised IN
congress was due to desire to en-
barrass Mr.. Truman.
Why can't Truman get on with
congress? Perhaps because he is a
little too much like them. This is
merely a bunch but I am not the
only one who has toyed with the
idea: both congress and the Presi-

loose term because the legislators

many minds) inclines farther to the
right than the inherited Roosevelt
program is targeted. Congress, the
part of it that knows Harry Truman
well, undoubtedly feels that his
heart leans just about as far in the
same direction. Therefore, he just
can't get these more leftish ideas
across. Harry Truman has a ire
mendous respect for the office OF the
presidency, a deep feeling of duty to
carry out the program which death
placed in his hands-a duty and
function he never sought. He can
not toss this heritage into the dis
card. And he probably reasons that
if he feels that responsibility, the
members of the party should do like
wise. But it must be remembered
that it was the powerful influence OF
a personality which could win an
election four times, task no
American had dared to attempt
even for the third, which kept con-
gress obedient and even then, to-
ward the end, only falteringly.

FARM STRIKE:
Cool Reception

While farmers in southeastern
Nebraska, incensed by the machin-
cry shortage, talked up an agri-
cultural strike in protest Of indus
trial walkouts, farm organization

Of agricultural products to force
resumption of industrial output,
Strike Leader Hubert Johnson, 48, Of
Edgar, Neb., listed farmer griev-

Truman Reveals
His True Self

On this particular day of which /
am speaking, / think we heard Tru-
man revealing his true self. He be
lieves that the White House should
be enlarged. He resented the OPP
position which he suspected was at
least in part personal and political
rather than the product of sincere
conviction. I thought heard that
in his voice.
But also think / heard in his
words, a similar expression of his
own philosophy, when he said that
he thought the present industrial
strife was struggle for power be-
tween labor and management. In
other words that basically it was
not the demands of the men who
work for more pay nor was it an
objection on the part of industry to
pay higher wages, as much as it
was a pitch battle between labor
leaders and the top men in manage
ment to see which could beat the
other down.
To one who brags about being
middle-class, without even drop of
blood of an Irish king in his veins,
it sounded like good, sound (call it
stuffy if you want) middle-class re-
sentiment. Then the President add
ed that he thought that both labor
and management had too much
power and it was time for the gov
eminent to step in and assert the
power Of the people which govern
ment is supposed to represent.
But when we asked the President
if and how the government was go
ing to assert itself to exert the pow
er Of the people" to settle the mess,
all he said was that he had done
all that he possibly could do.
He could have called out the
army and the navy, the national
guard, the FBI and the United
Marching and Social Clubs, and TAX
en- over the steel industry the next
day. But a step like that, which
was no more than the wave of a
tapering cigarette holder yesterday,
was one which no cautious middle
class, middle-western, middle-of-the-
road American would like to take
except under duress. Il say that
as one such.)
And so congress, part of it respond
ing to the pressure of management
and part of it under the pressure of
labor, fiddles and filibusters while
industry contentedly lives off its fat,
labor on union funds or relief and
I the people" with all their alleged
power" wonder how long, oh Lord,
how long!

Poultrymen generally can expect
an income in 1916 somewhat lower
than 1915 earnings, in the opinion
of Economist John W. Carncross Of
Rutgers.
Pointing to last years all-time
high egg consumption record of
800 per person, he said it is not
likely to be duplicated this year.
Some reduction in consumer in
come during 1915, a greater guam
tity of red meat available to civil
ians, and reduced military require
ments, add up to less egg demand.

INDUSTRY:
Profit Margins

First part of study by the Secu-
rites and Exchange commission on
profits and operations of American
Industries in 1884, "a SEC sur
vey showed that while Is meat pack
ers crossed $4,732, O38, 900 in 1914
they Melted $45, 348, 900 or / per cent
of sales.
Next to the meat packing, the Gig
arctic industry ranked highest in
gross income for 1914, with $780,
10000. With a net income of 3.9
per cent of sales, however, the Gig
arctic manufacturers outstripped
meat packers in profit margins.
With total sales of 81, 452, 1851 900,
the dairy products industry ranked
third, but like meat packing, enjoyed
a relatively smaller profit position,
earning 81 per cent on it's gross.
With $1,226, 1884, of sales, distil-
leries showed net returns of 3.8 per
cent.
OF all industries surveyed, gro
Gerry specialties had the highest
profit margins, with Al per cent on

UNRRA:
Ne,v Exodus

Even while British Gen. Freder-
ick Morgan was in New York con.
ferring with Director Herbert Leh-
man over his reinstatement as Unit
ed Nations Relief and Rehabilita-
ton chief in Germany, a U. S. Bird
army report confirmed his charge
that Zionist-aided Jews were leaving
Poland for Germany in the hope Of
eventually reaching Palestine.
In helping the migrants, it was
said, Zionist groups prepared them
for communal life abroad and sup
piled directions for infltrating into
Germany. Where necessary, money
and clothing are furnished. Though
the Jews hope for eventual admis-
sion to Palestine, they look for the
establishment Of a Jewish state in
Bavaria If denied access.
Target Of bitter Jewish criticism
after his charge that Zionist groups
were supporting a Jewish exodus
from Poland for Palestine, Morgan
vigorously denied anti-Semitic sem
timents in being restored to the
UNRRA fold. Declaring his SYM
pathies were with all displaced per-
sons, he said he did not question
the motives Of any individuals or
groups on resettlement problems.
