PASSING UP THE PEOPLE

CONGRESS HAS BEEN ACTING like wayward bus, sup
posed to the people but imagining itself to be pr-
vate limousine
The Republican majority assisted by the poll tax Demo
cras has been obsequous chauffeur for big business
has jumped to obey every order of the proeers to
give them tax relief higher prices and rents and everything
else they ask
1t has enacted the anti-labor TaftHartley law as de-
manded by the Natl Assn of Manufacturers
And now, with all this bg-busness baggage attended to,
the Congressional leadership is stepping on the gas and
hurrying to adjournment.
Meanwhile the American people have this Congress
pass them up again and again, leaving them waiting and
ignoring their needs
These needs great
The present boom is heading for bust. Profits and
prices grossly inflated while the share of national income
going to wages and salaries has sharply declined
The system avors the greedy at the of the
needy Millions housed and lack adequate medical
Educational facilities in deplorabe condition. Job dis
ordinations growing in industry Civil liberties suf
fering from assault The minimum wage remains at the
sweatshop level of 40c an hour.
The people are entitled expect represent
atves attend such needs and egsate for their
onlic security.
But Congress has been so busy serving big business that
it has time left for the people And now 1T is getting ready
Among the unfinished domestic business before Con-
gress are the following bills The Wagner Elender-af
housing BILL to spur construction of ow-rent houses and
sum clearance projects.
The national health insurance and public health bill
(S 1920 to make medical and hospital available to
those who need it most
from 40c Csc hour zoe 1948 and 75c in 1949
The ant-polltax bill, to abolish this restriction the
right to vote in federal elections.
The anti-bas BILL to set up permanent FEPC to pre-
vent determinations in hiring and on the job.
The anti-ynchng BILL to make ynchng federal crime
which may be prosecuted in us. courts
The federal aid-toeducaton BILL to improve school fac
tiles and grant all children equal educational opporun
tiles
Contrast the above legislation which Congress has neg
leced with the bills which it has enacted if you want to
judge the character of the present majority and to know
which master it serves.
Then remember that this majority has tried per-
petuate itself in office by restricting the political rights of
working people, through the Iaft-flartley Act.

THEY CALL HIM JUNGLE sHYLOCKo

SECRETARY OF STATE GEORGE C. MARSHALL recent
y declared that Historical records clearly show that
people have acted generously and unsehy
than the people in rendering assistance to alleviate
distress and suffering"
How true that Is emphasized by statement just releas
ed by the international Economics Division of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
In the two postwar years. it reveals this nation has
made grants and pledged loans otang than $50 billion
for the relief and rehabilitation of foreign nations.
Outright gifts to Europe, Asia and Africa amount
to S7215 millions Loans comprise $12871 millions of the
total There is little likelihood that any part of these loans
will ever be repaid the report indicates.
To give idea of the involved in these
loans and gifts recalled that the national debt of the
United States in 1882 only $19,487 millions.
Detailed figures of exports really staggering For
example shipped 29600000 tons of coal abroad in the

BETRAYING THE AMERICAN WAY

EVER SINCE THE END of the war labor unions have
- siseny warned against high prices and the necessity
for controlling them They have been just consistent in
demanding that excessively high prices brought about by
aboishing price controls be lowered
1t is pleasure to note that Fortune magazine for Big
Business is agreement with that position editorial
boosting proposed 500 billion investment in peace to
war-wrecked countries to healthy productivity Fortune
told business that they should begin that investment by
Is percent to 20 percent reduction in prices in this country
though would have to be made the expense pro-
fits.
Fortune warned that there growing the
high level of prices and that the size of copor
profits related to high prices didn't look any good
the public. Fortune asked business if they didn't
know that their failure to lower prices betrayal of the
American way of life ito which they profess such constant
devotion"
This good sound practical advice and its should
commend it to the business men of the nation

PRICE-FIXING is "OKAY" SOMETIMES

THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION this week issued a
modified order which illustrates way in which
"free competition" is not free.
Back in 1914 the commission found that the Eastman
Kodak Company fixing minimum retail prices for its
"Kodachrome" and Magazine" films
In other words retail dealers could not compete with
each other by cutting prices the films they sold the public
That suited the dealers fine but the F. IT, c. said not
good for and ordered the pcexng stopped
Later Eastman Kodak back and said conditions
had changed because "Ansco fm made by another
facurer has become generally available to the public
Therefore if do not like the fixed prices East
film, they can buy Ansco.
n the light of these facts the commission said in it's
modified order the ban the prcefxng suspended"

in the report to justify this pessmism.
The only dark spon otherwise favorable picture the
report sad con which has been retarded by cold weather
and disastrous Midwest floods
But when allowance is made for all unfavorabe factors

it asserted.
"Alcrop condition declared to be the average
of the past nine years. when production larger than in
