Privilege or Responsibility?

Whether the sound and wise ad-
vice given in this industrial maya
zine will be needed by big business
cannot be foretold 1t will be re-
membered that Eric A. Johnston,
former president of the United
State chamber Of commerce, gave
much the same sound advice in
mid-l946 to his fellow industrialists.
Mr.. Johnston, now heading up
the Motion Picture Association
of America, warned that "the
whole process of thinking Of
capitalism for the privileged
few must be raised to a plane
where responsibility to the pub
lie interest is the key word.'
He warned that capitalism must
change so that imam is more i'm
portant than the machine or the
products of the machine where
the primacy and dignity of man
come first" Mr.. Johnston was
prophetic when he said, I'VE must
turn from the old monopolistic COM
petition which throttled competition
VI lIlS lltIlS lSllOW " Tile new COIIl-
petition which provides ideas for
thinking, for inventive minds, which
holds prices reasonable, makes bet
ter living, stimulates, but never
stymies opportunity.
However, big business, repre-.
senting capitalism. refused to
recognize those truisms or those
warnings, and the Republican
leadership, which the public
feels is SO closely related and
identified to big business, again
stands discredited.
AS result, the little Republican
in the street is placing a large
share of the blame for the past
election result squarely upon those
thousands of Republicans in indus
try who have refused to recognize
the evolution into this new era and
who, as the magazine Steel says,
"should share the responsibility for
the continued and consistent failure
of Republicanism over a period of
nearly two decades"
This reporter believes the man in
the street in the Republican party
will do something about it now.

IN WASHINGTON
End Of an Era

6uu VI oil Eta
D ESULTS of the recent cleo
N ton, as this column has
pointed out in previous editions,
marks the end of an era and
the beginning of a new period
in economics, in labor relations
and in the capitalist or so-called
free enterprise system.
Since March, 1888, when Frank
lin D. Roosevelt entered the White
House, the nation has gone through
a period of social and economic re-
forms, long overdue, and consid-
cred by a majority of the people
as essential for the liberty and pur-
suit of happiness of the masses Of
Americans. These reforms were
called the New Deal.
A segment of our society rep
resented by the so-called vested
interests or big business has re-
fused to accept, or accepted I'M
der protest, those reforms as
essential for a free America.
This segment, represented
largely in business by the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers and in congress by such
men as Sen. Robert A. Taft Of
Ohio, has fought with every in
strument at its command, large
ly with money, the completion
or extension of these New Deal
reforms.
The use of money and huge in
dustrial and economic power in the
by-electionS of 1916 almost won
back the government in Washing
ton for big business, but not quite.
and most everyone except Harry
S. Truman and the plain everyday
American people believed they
would complete the job last Novem-
Der 2.
But they failed and the plain
people won. So it is refreshing to
read in the current issue of Steel,
one of the nations best industrial
magazines, what this reporter be-
lieves is some sound and wise ad-
vice to American industry and that
segment of society which histori-
cally backed the Republican party.
Says Steel:
For years industry has
been pouring hundreds of mil
lions of dollars down a rathole
in belief that, if the man in
the street can understand indus
try properly he will support it
staunchly. The cold truth is
that the average citizen has
more faith in industry and in
the free enterprise system than
he has in the ability of some of
industry's leaders to administer
the system properly.
1--WE suggest that part of the eff
fort made in the past to sell indus
try to the public henceforth be de-
voted to directing industry's affairs
so that the average man actually
receives his proper share of indus
try's benefits in form that he can
easily recognize. When that has been
accomplished there will be no need
to sell him anything. Secondly, we
suggest that those members of the
Old Guard whose presence in the
high councils of Republicanism has
been of doubtful value, abdicate in
favor of young men with open
minds"

Extra Working Hours
Washington Postl


 The proposal of President Green of the AFL for extension of the working week a of increasing production and curbing imitation sounds good But do not share his optimistic view of its ant-inflatonary effect. For Mir Green assumes that time worked in of 40 hours would be paid for at time e-an0-a-half rates. We doubt whether the addition of an hour to the working day would so reduce manufacturers overhead costs as to enable them absorb such pay increases and avoid increasing the prices of their products Proof the contrary afforded by the fact that many industries cling to the 40-hour week to avoid paying premium rates for overtime There is to believe that a mere Congressonal recommendation in favor of longer working hours, urged by MT. Green, would persuade such employers to change their working schedules. In good many industries moreover shortages of materials or restricted plant capacity the really hours in such would merely mean paying work CTS to idle on their jobs
 Tn his recent Economic Report the President noted that so far the farm output is concerned were shortages most acute weather will be the major determining factor. On the industrial side, basic shortages in coke, steel other metals, petroleum railway and motive power, traceabe to variety of causes certainly cannot be overcome in the near future merely by adding hour to the working day. Because there is single quick means of bringing supplies of many essential articles into balance with existing high demands the President has urged adop ton of his TO- point an-inflation program MT Green goes along with the President indeed his lndorsement of the longer working week is conditional on Con gressiona approval of anti-inflation measures ex- cuding of course wage controls which he rejects as "unrealistic7 and unavoidable" We are forced to conclude that MT. Green just talking for the record For he is undoubtedly aware that his pro- posa even acceptable would not prevent labor from pressing for further wage the absence of wage controls.

FAST ACTION ON ERP NEEDED

It Is now nearing one year since General Marshall proposed what is now known as the Marshall Plan for aid to Europe.
 When the plan was first proposed Congress said it was too busy with routing appropriation bills and shortly thereafter adjourned for the summer.
 Last fall, as the European sit uation got bad again and speedy action on the Marshall Plan was urged, Congress squawked about going back to work Too many of it's members were away on trips, Congressman complained
 Finally when Congress was con- yened there elapsed weeks and weeks of hearings, debate, argu- ment, and secret COP meetings at the home of Kansas isolationist Senator Reed, all at a leisurely pace as if the world was perfectly normal and there wasn't the slightest need to hurry.
 Meanwhile Russia has gobbled Czechoslovakia, frightened its hold on Finland, and is preparing for an early strike at Italy After that, France.
 Some Republicans-notably Ma lone of Nevada, Ecton of Montana and Wherry of Nebraska-are too dumb to know what the world sit uation is all about. But other COP obstructionists-among them Know land of California and Ball of Minnesota are smart enough to realize that a few millions of dol lars spent now can save thousands of lives later. So far, however, they haven't.
 The debate in Congress boils down to the fact that either the Marshall Plan is worth voting for or it isn't. If it's to be dragged out until after Russia swallows Europe then 1t might as we'll be kissed off right now. Congress should make up it's mind-and fast

Senator Buffers SUR 162 would deprive the De- partment of the Interior of this power.
 The aboriginal rights theory has been more or knocked out by recent court decisions which hold that the only rights the Indians may have to lands in Alaska those of private individual property holders, who protected in their possession and occupancy just all other citizens of the United States in Alaska protected by the Act of 1884. Under recent court decisions, the Indians must prove their right to the huge land claimed by proving their ancestors possessed occupied and used those lands in 1884 their descendants have been in possession of the lands since that time Needless to say. the Indians cannot prove this
 Attorney Robertson points out that because a single vote prevent SUR 162 from being placed the Senate consent calendar for consideration this session, have hard battle ahead of us The measure is being opposed by the Interior Department and representatives of the Indians. Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett Robertson declares will give his wholehearted support to the measure but is more or less neutral This is certainly the most serious barrier the legislation faces since on matters per aining to Alaska, Congressmen are known to seek the advice of the Delegate from Alaska, and if MT Bartlett does choose to support this there will undoubtedly be some Congressmen who will not vote for it.

SERIOUS SITUATION

It is 10 be hoped that the people of Southeast Alaska will waste no time in exerting all of the influence they can muster on the members of Con- gress urging passage of legislation by Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska which would bring an end to the dangerous power and authority of the Secretary oi the Interior to create reservations in Alaska Tor the exclusive use of natives.
 Just back from Washington D. C., local Attorney R E. Robertson points that until this legislation Senate Joint Resolution l62-s adopted, cannot expect to make any further progress in the establish ment of a pulp industry in Alaska.
 Before 1886 the chief barrier to the establishment of pulp and paper industry in Southeast Alaska was economic Other forests were available where the profit from investment would be greater.
 Today the economic barrier has been dissolved, but two serious obstacles remain One is the power of the Secretary of the Interior, under the Wheeler Howard Act of 1886 to create reservations for the exclusive use of the natives and from which the white man is barred except by consent of the owners. The other obstacle is the theory of aboriginal rights, ated by the Department of the Interior in 1941 and 1922 which led the natives of Alaska to believe that they could claim title to vast areas of Alaska which their ancestors may have roamed in the days before the white set eyes Alaska.
 It is obvious that paper company wants to invest millions of dollars in Alaskan timber only to Department of the Interior may declare that this area is reserved for the exclusive and occupancy of the Indian.
