Announces Details OF
$20,0OO,0O0 Price Reductions

Details of the recently announced international
Harvester policy of making price reductions
to save users of our products approximately
SIC, 600, 900 year have now been worked out.
We have reduced prices on 1853 models. These
cover IL basic models of farm tractors, 1913
basic models of farm machines, Is basic models
of industrial tractors and engines, and IL mod
els of motor trucks, as well as certain motor
truck attachments. The new lower prices are
effective as of March 10, 1947.
These reductions were made not because of
any decline in demand, but because we believe
nothing is more important to this country than
to lower the prices of the goods people buy.
While prices have not been changed on all
products, we have made reductions wherever
possible, in the amounts possible. Prices OF
many of our most popular products have been
substantially lowered.
Altogether, more than half of the company's
customers will be benefited by the reductions,
which range from 1 % to $3.50 and from $3.50
to $500 per item, based on list prices, FOB.
Chicago
!. Since the people have demanded that the
government withdraw from price contro. in
/, peacetime, the responsibility to keep prices in
check is back where it should be-in the hands
+. of business and industry. The business outlook
makes it possible for us to move toward the
goal of lower prices, and we have felt duty
to act as promptly as possible.
4 Our ability to maintain these lower prices
will depend on the supply and price of materials
we buy from others and on uninterrupted pro-
duction at reasonable wage levels.
} The prices listed here carry out our an
nounced policy that ANY price is too high if
it can be reduced"

Truman X. Gibson, Jr., formerly
civilian aide 10 the Secretary Of
War, takes exceptions 10 the series
Of articles advocating abolition Of
race relations jobs and the appoint
ment Of colorsd persons TO regular
government jobs on the basis Of
merit. He writes:
Racial relations advisers have
been directly and indirectly re-
sponsible for the Indignation Of
many Negroes into regular depart
mental positions. II was Bob
Weaver who started Bill HASTE in
his career as solicitor in the De
partment Of the Interior.
Certainly ! agree that the time
is past when Negroes ought TO be
appointed on their merits 10 high
positions in the government. but
I do not think this process will be
accelerated By disseminating the
few racial relations people In the
Government.
From your long experience In
Washington, you know things just
do not happen and that there will
be no rush TO hire top notch Ne
RrOes. Even II the advisers merely
by their presence reminded the de-
pRrtmsntal heads Of their too often
forgotten obligations, their reten-
ton would be justified. Actually
most have done more than this. II
doesn't seem TO me wise to give UP
what you have at the chance that
you might get something more"
DiliEent effort to find out what
race relations advisers were doing
was made before the articles were
begun. The answer was-the pres
snt crop Of advisers II doing moth
ing but hoodwinkinE coIored peO-
pie. In the past, some were con-
scientious and made earnest sf-
fort to do something.
The "foot-in-the-door" theory
would he acceptable II it were not
for the fact that race relations
advisory jobs are used as political
sops TO preclude appointment Of
colorcd persons to Government jobs
at policy making levels. More
over. there Is n small number Of
colored persons holding regular
Government jobs and performing
quite satisfactorily. There is no
valid reason why that number
should not be increased
No one Is advocating that in
cumbentS In race relations jobs be
dismissed. They can be transferred
10 regular Government jobs where
they can perform the duties Of
their office in a democratic man
