What Are Our Interests in Greece?

Lake Success, N. Y., is pleasant place on a hot day. There spokes- men for the United Nations are de- batting issues which have a direct bearing on when and where the next World War will break out. Needless to say, every American should be intensely interested in the discussion. Your boy will do the fighting, if these diplomats don't get together.
 And they are not getting tOgeth- CT. Herschel D. Johnson, "career diplomat" speaking for Uncle Sam, said that our country was prepared to send armed forces to Greece to avert Communist domination" That's the kind of thing that has led to wars in the past. Don'tS be surprised if it has the same re- suit this time.
 Our side proposes that the Unit ed Nations appoint a commission to preserve order along the Greek border. This is based on the as- sumption that Red" guerrillas from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and AL bania are harassing the Greeks, and unless they are headed off, will eventually take over that country.
 Russia has vetoed the American suggestion. Under the United Ma tions charter, five nations - the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia-have this veto power. Our representatives have said they are not in favor of abol-, ishing it, but they don't like the way Russia uses it. Russia replies that, under the U. N. charter, it has the right to use the veto in any way it sees fit.
 Now MT. Johnson announces we will bypass the United Nations. unless the Soviets back up. That's 8 dangerous move. In the first place, it means that one of the most important provisions of the United Nations charter is about to be junked, and, next, it may mean war if Russia doesn't yield.
 It is about time for Americans to begin asking: What are our inter- ests in Greece?

Joe Rourke's personal advice toS the delegates from the affiliated To- calls of the New London Central Labor Union and their many guests, some representing CIO organiza- tions, to bypass and ignore the TaftHart1ey law in all their future negotiations, brought tumultuous applause. Encouragement for this type of bargaining was displayed recently by both the CIO Automo- tive Workers, under Walter Reu- ther, and the United Mine Workers under John L. Lewis.
 By not filing for protection and privileges under the Taft-Hartley law, the bargaining union is not affected by the law, provided they do not appeal to the National La bor Relations Board for their me- diation services.

Lilienthal said the new board would
have two purposes: "a to recommend
methods to expand and intensity in
dustrial participation, and ca to keep
American industry informed on the
commissions widespread activities in
research and development.
Lilienthal's move is regarded as an
attempt to break the tacit big business
boycott of the governments program,
which dates back to last year when
it failed to knock out a ban on private
ownership Of atomic patents in a bill
transferring atomic control from mill
tary to civilian hands. The law now
gives the government a complete mo
nopoly on atomic power with authority
to license operations on a freely COM
petitive basis.
Bringing in the industrialists may
mean a r%eopening of the entire pa
tents issue. with big business II
ing its fight to make atomic energy
the exclusive plum Of private monop-
oily, Just as most utilities are now in
its grasp.
The oil and public utilities indus
tries. both heavily represented on the
new board and now among the most
profitable in the US, could easily
become displaced industries with the
introduction OF atomic energy. Under
a planned economy, both could be
adopted to other uses but American
industry is notably reluctant to sac
rifice immediate profits for the sake
Of chronological advancement.
According to science editor John ].
O'Neill of the New York Herald Tri.
bune. atomic energy would bring to
a close the role of petroleum as an
important source Of heat and mechan.
zeal energy and result in a shutdown
of as high as 75gs OF the nations
refineries.
The first major use U atomic energy
would be for the generation OF cleo.
tricity. The completely changed con
ditions wrought by this revolutionary
development, O'Neill points out. may
make it necessary to consider the en-
tire electrical power industry as a
unit-requiring reorganization OF Our
entire electric power industry on q
national scale as a co-ordinated unit
for maximum efficiency of operation
That's not a welcome idea to the
free enterprise boys-and the last

In answer TO critics who have fore

ed. Mason declared that such an IN
crease would have two beneficial re
suits.
First. the productivity Of the in
dividual worker who had been receiv-
ing s~ubstandard waee will Increase.
You may ask why this should happen.
The answer is very simple. Workers
receiving a substandard wage cannot
be expected TO contribute To then iul-
lest extent to the welfare OF the en-
terprise. Because Of the low wages,
they cannot provide themselves or
their families with adequate food.
housing or clothing. The individual
worker III such conditions Is easily rat
igued, has a very low morale and he.
cause of his other worries cannot con
tribute the full measure of his cana
bilities. With a minimum wage which
will provide a decent standard OF liy-
ing his productivity naturally rises.
Secondly, the imposition OF the
minimum wage will mean greater man
agerial efficiency. Since in most
cases. substandard wages have been a
subsidy TO the less efficient producers
at the expense of the workers. the ef-
feet of the minimum wage will fall
heaviest on those less efficient pro-
ducers. II will thus force these oper-
ators to reexamine their methods Of
doing business so that they a mann
