ONE-WAY ROAD

In a recent address, Evans WoOllen, Jr.,
vice president of the American Bankers AS
sociation, observed that government lending
and government guarantees of credit are a
One-way road to a completely SOcialiZed state.
Specialization of credit" he added, "is one
of the less bloody techniques of cOllectivist
revolution, but it is vital one"
Mr.. WOollen is certainly not alone in hold
ing that view. 1t was expressed long ago by
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who did
more than any other men to create and eX-
pound the basic doctrines of communism.
According to them, "centralization of credit
in the hands of the state, by means of ma
tional bank with state capital and an eXclu-
sive monopoly" was one of the major steps
to be taken. 1t has been done, of course, in
aGofnmunist Russia, where the, government
has a monopoly on credit and all other forms
of finance And much the same thing has
happened in Socialist England, where the
Labor Party nationalized the financial Sys-
tenn soon after coming into power.
In our own case, it is doubtful if the
majority of people realize how far we have
gone in putting the government into the
banking business. The list of Federal lend
ing agencies would take pages to name and
describe. A number of those which were Gre
ated during the war on the grounds that
IIlSy were uSCSSSo1y W lllCCC CAAoC SOAANJ
are still doing business at the same old stand
Real estate, home building, agriculture, bus
mess, foreig ntrade-the government credit
agencies have finger in every pie. And, Il
we permit the government to keep increasing
its control over the national purse, the steI
toward socialization of the financial struc
ture and political monopoly of the bank
ing system will simply be shortened.
1t cannot be argued that this is neceS
sary in order to meet the nations needs fOl
credit-private enterprise in that field, lik
private enterprise in all others, built thu
nation. Nor can it be argued that it is nee
essary to protect the public -gOvernmen
supervision and regulation of banking in al
it's branches has long been an accepted prin
ciple, and has worked successfully. The diff
ference between regulation by government
and government lending and guarantees 20
credit, is as broad as the difference betwee
night and day. 1t is time that the natiO
which leads the Western world in resistanc
to the spread of Communism should under
stand that and act accordingly.

Too MUCH IVA

A former administrator of the OPA re-
Gently fOreSaw the worldwide use of river
valley developments on the Tennessee Valley
Authority model. This, he said, was neces-
sary to sufficiently increase food production
to take care of the worlds future needs.
What he apparently didn't see is that
many of the troubles of the world are due to
the fact that it has adopted IVA principles
on an infinitely larger scale. IVA is prin-
cipality-a dictator, with it's fingers in the
affairs of every family, home and enter
prise. 1t is the boss, and it always has the
last word. There may be right of appeal in
theory but there is virtually none in fact
IVA, therefore, on limited scale, is simply
the super, all-pOwerful state in all it's glory.
BY its monopoly of electric power alone-an
unregulated, taX-exempt monopoly-it can
determine the destiny of the Southeast
When it comes TO soil conservation and
flood control, IVA has often been guilty of
deceit. 1t has built huge hydro-electric dams
in the name of flood control. Yet these dams
must be kept nearly full if they are to pro-
duce the power, and thus they cannot receive
flood waters. The top engineers know that
more than Is per cent of the damage done by
flood can be prevented by water control and
soil conservation measures on the individual
farms, and in the headwaters and the valleys
Arthur Morgan, first IVA chief, resigned
because he would not be party to the fraud
of convincing people that real flood control
and big power development could go hand
in hand in the IVA pattern.
IVA is just one more example of plan
ned economy-a polite phrase for an ecOno-
my run by political dictatiOn. 1t kills COM
petition and saps the vitality of peoples. II
is the enemy of individual initiative. 1t is
opposed to every concept of free govern
ment.

IT CAN BE DONE

From the point of view of fire loss, last
year was the blacklist in American history
The total destruction was about $7OO,OOO,-
600.
At the same time, however, it was year
of progress in fire prevention work. Ac-
cording to the National Board of Fire Under
writers, there was material improvement in
the delivery of new fire fighting equipment.
The number of cities adopting the Boards
model fire prevention ordinance increased by
48 per cent. Many cities made progress in
strengthening their building laws The Pres
ident's Fire Prevention Conference initiated
a long-term program which has been felt
to some degree in most of the states. And
the Spring Cleanup Weeks attracted an
unusual degree of cooperation and eliminated
many hazards.
1t may seem strange that we should have
record fire losses along with such intensive
prevention work. That simply indicates the
extent of the fire danger. The total number
of fires has been on the increase, and in these
days of high prices the average fire does
much more dollar damage than before the
war. And due to the building shortage, many
homes and businesses are housed in substand-
ard structures where the risks are abnorm-
ally great.
Last April was the first time since March,
1914, that monthly losses declined below the
same month in any preceding year. II that

NOT SO SIMPLE

The Legislative Reference Service of the
Library of Congress has prepared report
on some of the economic factors involved in
minimum wage legislation. The report is of
special interest at this time, as measures for
increasing the minimum wage will be con-
sidered by Congress in the relatively near
future.
The study opposes the use of data such
as the Bureau of Labor Statistics City Work
er's Family Budget as an argument for high
Ell minimums. Under the BIS budget, if
worker were supporting family of four in
one of the largest cities his minimum wage
would be about So an hour. For family of
two it would be S1.35. It is obvious that
minimum wages of this kind for unskilled
workers would be impossible of realization.
An increase in the minimum wage, the
report continues, often Institutes an upward
adjustment of wages in general, sometimes
throughout the entire wage structure of an
industry 1t thus contributes to higher prices
and more imitation. Finally, the report says,
"a statutory minimum wage cannot solve
the problem of inadequate income for work
ers in the lowest-wage categories and for
those among the unSkilled who have large
families to support"
The issue, therefore, is nowhere near as
simple as it may appear on first glance. An
unreasonably high minimum wage would
unquestionably be a. powerful spur to infla-
ton. The only solution to the problem OF the
lOw-paid worker is for him to acquire the
skiIls and to accept the responsibilities that
will Justify better-paid job. The best-meant
social legislation cannot change the fact that
infthe long run, ability and productivity are
the measure of ahyone's earning power.

WASHINGTON
LETTER
WASTING TINE WITH RUSSIA
l. Il. JOneS


WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Uni
ted Nations was founded to restore
peace to the world and outlaw war,
forever.
Russia was one of the charter
members in framing all the plans
and in organizing the United Ma
tiOns.
This Letter challenges anybody
and everybody to point out single
important instance i'm which the
Russian government has lived up
to the principles of the United Ma
tions-from the start at Dunbar
ton Oaks in Washington up to the
present time.
None of us have any faith in Rus
sia. From the beginning they have
| been waging a "cOld war against
the Nations with whom they assO-
Ciated.
The United States has gone far
beyond it's responsibilities and pill
ed up our liabilities-a condition
which all leads to war-everything
but the shooting.
We ask you: Why doesn't the
United Nations expel Communist
Russia from membership in it's or
ganizatiOn?
Evidently the United Nations
likes the location on the East Riv-
er, New York City. There has beer
a good deal of talk in Washington
over the failure of Congress to ap.
prove the $65,000,O0 loan to bC
used for new housing for the grea
peace organization.
Some of our best news hawks
are awfully hot under the collar
and they go out on the limb to sa!
that the United Nations have beel
snubbed by Congress. Nonsense!
; ! History repeats itself. Genevi
was the Capital of the League o
J Nations and that great Organiza
ton came to a tragic end. 1t wa
just as energetic in it's efforts t,
bring peace to the world as tn
United Nations. 1t really accom-
> plished more during it's lifetim
than is likely to be achieved b.
the United Nations.
In fact we are almost at war wit
Russia right now.

Ford's Minimum WAGE

Many of us can recall the wall
that went up from industry, and
especially the automotive industry,
about a quarter of a century ago.
The occasion was Henry Ford's an
nouncement of a minimum wage in
his plants of $5 for each eight-hour
day.
To wage earners It seemed like
the arrival Of the millennium; to
industrial management il seemed
like the fOrerunner Of dire catas-
trOphe. The lowest paid man in
Ford plant would take home for
each six, eight-hOur days a total
Of $50. Automobile manufacturers
especially saw ruin staring them
in the face. Il has not worked
that way.
For last year, 1947, General Mo-
tors paid to. its 375,689 hourly rate
plant employees an average Of $57.S6
for each six days totaling an aver
age Of 38.5 hours. That is twice the
Ford rate of some Is years ago.
Improved technology, plus a q
per cent increase in the price the
public paid for cars, made such
wages possible. It was not paid out
of profits. To offset any additional
raise in wages. improved technology
cannot again provide a considerable
portion of the increase. The public
will pay for all of it in the prices
they pay for cars.

government.
The school teacher looks longingly
to Washington for a salary increase
and Washington is holding out al
inducement for acceptance. When
the increase comes there will come
with it instructions as to what she
shall teach her pupils and how she
shall teach it. She will have be-
come but cog of vast educa-
tional machine. She will have lost
the opportunity for individuality
that has endeared her to her pupils.
What has happened to the indivi-
dual also has happened to the state
and local government units. AS an
illustration: The state of California
needed irrigation water for her in-
land valleys. The interior depart
ment would provide the needed
dams and bitches but with string
tied to the offer. The irrigation
system, when completed, would be
operated by Washington; Washing
ton would make the rules; would
say to whom water might be sup
piled and how much. II would be
operated by a Washington bureau

completed the irrigation system will

Who pays for these lavish

not benefit from the water sup
piled to California farms but they

of other than auto makers. (3) A gradual
expansion in productive capacity of the steel
industry inself.
Petroleum, electric power, coal operators
and food manufacturers will continue to pro-
vide a powerful support to the general level
of business. Furthermore, those industries
where a decline is expected are by no means
candidates for a sharp slump-with the pOss-
ible exception of cotton textiles.
WHAT ABOUT BUILDING?
Building construction to be completed may
be sky-high compared with the first six months
of 1948, but am predicting that new building
contracts will suffer more than their usual
seasonal decline. Likewise, our railroads will
be held at a high rate of operations until
after the October crop peak-at which time l
expect a more than seasonal recession in
traffic.
There is a possibility that the textile in
dustry will witness sharp recession. The
cotton surplus promises to cause uncertainty
in the price of this important fiber. Such a sit
uatiOn may induce a suspension of buying
during the transition from the old crop prices
to the new fiber quotations. Hold off before
stocking up with shirts, sheets or most cotton
goods.
