demands. TIL r e was never a
chance with Lewis to find out VIVA,
he actually wanted, much less to
discuss it calmly with him. His
method was to seize the govern
ment and the country by the
throat, and then as they gasped for
breath to tell them what he wanted.
This was shee- coercion and moth
ing else, and had it worked, il
would have set the pattern for the
other labor leaders. Had they tried
to be reasonable, decent and civil
lied, and to consider the genera.
public interest, they would have
been attacked as appeasers by Mr.
Lewis and the tougher u~nionists.
Mr.. Murray has, on the other
hand, begun by presenting an ar
gument that can be examined ano
debated. The threat of great
strikes is there in the background,
to be sure but, at least, there is tc
be a serious attempt to argue and
persuade. Mr.. Murray's case, as
presented IN the Nathan report,
is, of course, ex parte. 1t is, quite
clearly I think, a brief worked UP
to support a client. That is to
say the Nathan report did not lead
to the C. l. o. demands; the re-
port was made to justify the de-
mands.
But it is an argument and not
an ultimatur, and that is some
thing, indeed a good deal, in .
time of strife and angry passions.
The Nathan report was written
1 strongly suspect, after reading it
carefully, by men who would have
preferred not to recommend an
other round Of wage increases.
Their analysis called for quite
different conclusions, for a high
degree of conscious fiscal manage
ment. But because they believe
that the country is not ready to
accept this, they took the view
that organized wage earners should
intead get what. they can fo-
themselves. But the authors OF
the Nathan report virtually ad-
init, and almost certainly realize
it themselves, that labor as a whole
cannot get anything substantial by
their wage demands.
This comes out at the conclu-

sion OF the report where they say
that raising wages without in
creasing prices appears (sic) to
offer the only currently (sic) pos
sible means Of bringing about the
kind of relationship which will
avoid a serious decline in business
activity"
But at the beginning Of the re-
port they had said that sit is
obviously futile, at the present
time, to anticipate correction OF
these dangerous trends through
reductions in prices and profits.
The regulatory mechanisms by
means of which reductions in
prices and profits might have been
achieved, through government ac-
ton, have been shattered ire
t-ievably. However, business men
show no signs Of exercising such
self-restraint in their natural
search for profits as would bring
about a decline in prices except in
the face of a sharp reduction in
demand" ~ 81
Now, if prices cannot be reduced
by government action or volun-
tarily by business men, then how
are they to be held from increas-
ing? The authors of this report
saw this question but avoided it.
What they would answer is, l
imagine, that either prices can't
be raised much more because de-
mand at current prices may be
nearing its limit; or that NEON
trolled prices will rise but that at
least the c. !, o. workers will have
more money.
In either case, the authors OF
the report do not profess to be-
lieve seriously that they can do
anything about prices. Thus they
do not argue for the wage de-
mands with conviction that this
will right the balance of the ma.
tional economy. They support the
wage demands pessimistical and
reluctantly because they expect an
unbalanced economy, and hope that
their clients will suffer less than
others.
The authors of the Nathan re-
port are quite clearly men trou-
bled in their professional and
public conscience. For this is no
conventional demagogic attack on
profits. They know perfectly well
that if profits are very large, it is
not merely the wage earners in
the mass production industries who
have a claim upon them in the
form of higher money wages.
There r the consumers who have
paid the high prices, and there is
the national economy as a whole
which ought to be enriched by
ploughing back the profits.
Because they realize this, they
do not make their claim for wages
out of profits a moral issue. They
know better. They have studied
too much modern economic theory.
Their argument IS that while these
profits ought to be reduced by
lowering prices, prices may not be
Lowered, that while the remaining
ought to be spent or re-
invested, they will not all be spent
and re-invested.
Therefore, there will be an eco
nomic i%mbalance, which higher
wages would temporarily-though
not permanently--edress some
what for some part Of the people.
This is not an easy subject for
debate. But a serious at
tempt must be made to debate it.
For the debate, however difficult.
will be infinitely better than a
fierce struggle on the picket lines.
