we're ambushed. Red-faced, the
Mexican government had to ask
Washington to back down on the
all-out control program. Washington
agreed, over the protest Of cattle
men throughout our Southwest.
Mexico's friendship repays us for
having put away the big stick OF
interference. If things come to
war she will be, without more than
murmurs of dissent, on our side.
Her army drills according to United
States tactics, rides American jeeps,
uses shot and shell made in new
Mexican factories by United States
Army specifications.
Other Side of Picture
Short of world war, however,
Mexico's economic and political SAL
vation is to remain her own battle.
Foreigners and Mexicans all live
under e-Mexican-law while in
the republic. Exactly that is a
worry to some United States busi-
nessmen, with perhaps half billion
dollars invested in Mexico. Here Is
their squeeze, as they see it:
They can make good money in
Mexico, but they are never sure for
how long. Net profits of 209o yearly
are common here, high above the 8
to 1870 considered attractive by
United States corporations at home.
Some companies-a soft-drink bot
tier, for example-have been recov-
ering their whole investment in
plant within single year. But
and here's the rub-on entering
Mexico, the enterpriser renounces
United States protection.
In this way, the recent pam
American agreement at Bogota
didn't guarantee much to investors.
Mexico, like her sisters, still can
take over any property anytime
with compensation.

with their Labor government, Mexi-
cans also feel themselves ideologi-
cally somewhere "in the middle"
between Washington and Moscow.
Mexicans are alert to the needs Of
world security. The record of their
air fighters in the Pacific and Of
the Mexican Americans in our in
fantry proved their ability to fight.
But instead of battling to stop Red
revolution in Europe, they'd prefer
to build more power plants and
highways and oil wells to continue
their 28-year-old revolution at
home.

crease of II cents will bring the
average hourly wage Of production
workers to s161 per hour.
On September and each quarter
year thereafter the workers wages
will go either up or down. depending
on the Bureau of Labor Statistics
estimate of living costs at the time.
The wage rate will move l cent per

the BIS price index.
There is no ceiling on the increase.
If wild imitation sets in, GIN wages
VIII automatically 90 up, too.
The advantage of the agreement
to the workers Is that no matter
how much living costs decline,
wages cannot go down more than
total Of cents an hour during the
two years of the contract. If real
defation sets in, the new wage rate
could be cut to $156 per hour, but
no further. Next May it would be
increased to $159 when the next
Scent raise goes into effect auto
matically. If prices remain the
same, the average GIN worker will
get sl64 per hour next May.
Aim at Better Index
Evan Clague, director of BIS, said
that a survey some time ago showed
that the pay Of about 100000
workers was geared in some way to
his consumer price index. But, he
added. that the GIN agreement
marked the first time a wage con-
tract was tied so closely to Federal
living cost data. He said BIS would
do the best it could within limited
appropriations by Congress to i'm
prove its index.
The problem of what to do about
wages in period Of f1uctuating
prices has been a perplexing one for
industry generally. The GIN formula
may offer solution to that problem.
The 3-cent-an-hou allowance for
improvement of workers living
standards also should help solve an
other problem, That involves the
finding of way to cut the produc-
ton workers in on the savings re-
sulting from improvement in indus
trial efficiency.
Labor generally greeted the GIN
agreement with enthusiasm.

Federal Mediation and Cancellation

settle disputes, thinks the automo-
bile agreement should 60 long way

Years of Plenty Loom
Again After Long
Lean Spell
By jones J. Strebiq

The aircraft industry is looking at
the world these days through rose
colored glasses after two dark and
gloomy years.
It hopes the days of deficits are
over and the years of profits in sight
again.
The change will not result from
the $3,O00,000,0 900 air power program
adopted by Congress, however. That
money will not reach industry in ap-
preciable volume until next year.
The outlook for a profitable IL
months after two terrible years is
based on the aircraft industry's writ
ing off Of costs attributable to re-
conversion and unsuccessful postwar
civil plane ventures and Congress
generosity with air power funds a
year ago. Then the legislators added
about s2OO,000,000 to the sums
recommended by President Truman.
The better look began to show in
first quarter reports. Five of the
first six large manufacturers to re-
port showed a profit. The average
probably will not remain as high,
however.
Four Showed a Profit
By comparison, II of Is major
plane builders had an aggregate
operating loss of $13S,435 900 last
year. The other four had an operat-
ing profit of s21 $4,000. Tax credits
under the then existing law reduced
actual losses for the industry to
s32,903 900.
The industry's backlog of business,
both military and civilian, is roughly
600000,000. 1t should rise con-
siderably in the next IL months,
when contracts are let under the
new bill.
That legislation provided $923,-
100000 in cash appropriations and
S2,275 100000 in authority to con-
tract for new planes and equipment.
1t omitted the customary reference
to two-year limits on purchases, but
did not cover the issue of FIVE
year procurement program recon-
nended both by the Presidents and
the congressional Air Policy Com
mittees. That matter is the subject
of separate legislation.
With the new authority, the mil
itary intends to buy 1852 planes.
The Air Force will order 2,122 Jet
fighters, 385 bombers and 22O trans
ports and special-purpose planes.
The Navy will buy 807 fighters, SIS
attack planes, 103 patrol planes,
20 transports and 80 helicopters.
Nearly half of the money spent
for military aviation goes to pro-
ducers Of equipment furnished to
the airframe manufacturers, such
as engines, propellers, guns, landing
gear and radio
The manufacturers produced 1900
combat planes last year. They will
do a little better this year, and
should reach an annual rate of 5000
warplanes by the middle of 1949,
less than 3 per cent of the peak
wartime rate.

who tickles it's fancy. No candidate
this year entered the States presi-
Dental preferential primary. That
primary is only adviSory-but it
still gives the voters an opportunity
to express themselves. Representa-
tives of Gen. Macarthur and Mr..
Stassen were on hand the last filing
day with petitions signed and ready,
placing their candidates in the pri-
mary. Neither, apparently, cared to
file unless the other did. So, after
hours of eying each other, both
went away without making an entry
in the primary. Gov. Green had no
plan to enter this primary, and
would not have done so. The ex-
pectation was, however, that the
Illinois delegation would line up for
Green on the first ballot in Repub-
lican National Convention, irrespec-
tive of the result of the preferential
primary.
That expectation still persists.
Among the Illinois delegates, how
ever, are supporters of Senator Taft
of Ohio, Dewey, Stassen and Van
denberg who may jump on the sec
ond ballot-or even on the first-to
the candidate of their choice. Gov.
Green, for his part, will endeavor to
hold the delegation together until
the time arrives to make tenshot
and then to deliver it to the win
ming candidate. It's the kind OF
thing that can be done by large
State delegation-with great deal
of political benefit to the man who
engineers the maneuver and to the
State which makes a presidential
nomination virtually certain.
Says He Has No Favorite
Until the recent Dewey -Stassen
fracas in Oregon, where the New
Yorker defeated the Minnesotan in
debate and then in the preferential
presidential primary, Mr.. Stassen
was making wide headway among
the Republicans Of Illinois, espe-
cially among the younger crowd
Mr.. Dewey appeared to be second
choice, Taft third-despite the fact
he has had a pat on the back from
the Chicago Tribune-and Vanden-
berg fourth. The trend to Stassen
however, has been somewhat
checked by the oregon results.

Nations Confer
On Air Matters

The second assembly Of the In
ternational Civil Aviation Organiza-
ton will open at Geneva Tuesday.
with perhaps 40 countries studying
today's flying problems.
The meeting will not lack issues
to consider, but prospects are that
only few major decisions will be
made. The tendency will be to de-
vote effort to preparation for a
general revision of ICAO's charter
in 1850.
The United States will recon-
mend a cautious approach, defer
ring final action until all of the
proposals for amendment can be
co-ordinated In the light of post
war experience in international air
transport.
ICAO's constitution was written
at Chicago in 1914, when global
flying with commerce instead Of
bombs was still only a hope. There
had been no experience with the
type Of airline operations common
today. Prewar international flying
was done largely with seaplanes on
schedules figured by the week. Now
the Atlantic is crossed dozens Of
times daily by landplane.
Question of Spain
The United States is particularly
| interested in getting action on
separate treaty to simplify the sale
and operation of planes in foreign
countries.
| Among the questions confronting
the meeting will be these:
/. What to do about ousting Spain
from membership. The custer was
voted last year to comply with
requirement for affiliation with the
United Nations. But only nine
member countries have ratified.
Twenty EIGHT signatures are needed.
2. How tough to get with men,
bers who don't pay their assess
ments. Some countries have failed
to chip in their share. Shortage Of
dollar balances is a large reason.
ICAO's budget is around $4,000. 900
this year and will be slightly higher
next year.
8. Should assemblies be held
every three years instead Of an
nually? 1t has been proposed that
full assemblies be held every three
years, with sessions considering
merely administrative matters in
the intervening periods.
4. How to get member countries
to act on recommended practices in
technical matters. Language diff
culties and a general resistance to
changing from familiar methods has
slowed progress in world acceptance
of technical standards-a major
objective Of ICAO.
There will be discussions also Of
closer relations with United Ma
tions, the old familiar issue of q
world airline. requirements for mul-
tiple insurance, slowness in report
ing statistical information, prob.
lens of air travel across borders,
defining scheduled air carriers.

will shrink to plans for joint opera

more countries.

Outpolled Roosevelt

A year later, Mr.. Green was the
choice of the Republicans for Gov
ernor. He was elected and his total
vote was $4,000 votes better than
that of President Roosevelt, who
carried Illinois in the presidential
election in 1910. He was reelected
in 1944-although in that year the
State also went for Roosevelt, DEM
onstrating again Mr.. Green's vote
getting ability.
AS Governor of Illinois through
out World War II, Mr.. Green had
plenty of knotty problems, which
he handled successfully. He was a
veteran himself of the First World
War, serving in the Air Corps. He
believes today that air power should
come first in the country's defense
program.
The Illinois Governor is Hoosier
by birth. He attended Wabash Col
lege in Charlottesville. Ind. and 1t
was there he got the nickname
Pete" which has stuck to him ever
since. 1t may have been in In
diana that he got his taste for
politics, too. 1t has been said that
all Hoosiers are either politicians
or writer's, and some are both. At
the end of two years in college,
where he had played football, MI.
Green was in the Army Air Corps.
He was sent out to the Pacific Coast
as an instructor and was there when
the war ended. He took a turn at
Leland Stanford, and then went to
Chicago University for law course.
