COP Thinkers Abandon
Me To- For 1890 Model

centration, on bigness, on the fantastic growth
of monopoly, were imagination instead of
harsh fact
They shut their eyes to the fact that as
mergers continue and more and more small
businesses are swallowed up the drive for
security becomes ever stronger; and as the
individual battles for, and sometimes gets, Sc
curity in his job, security against accident and
illness, security in his old age, smaller en-
ployers tend to merge with larger units, and
the movement towards bigness accelerates.
In other words the tories want the kind
of world in which security is necessty-but
they don't want to grant the security their
very world makes necessary.
What do the tories offer? They want to
have the states provide security. The states
have proved neither willing nor able to do so.
They raise the specter that the welfare state"
is Socialism" and Socialism" is but step
toward Communism" That one is easy Rus
sia was no socialist state under the Cars.
China was no socialist haven under Chang
Kai-shek. Yugoslavia was not socialist under
its King. But Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand
have had Socialist governments. And the COM
munist parties in those countries are mere
shadows Nor did the Communists support the
Weimar Republic, or the Socialist government
of Leon Blum in France Nor are the Com
munists supporting the Labor government of
Britain.
The COP strategy committee met recently
and decided against "Me Too" program for
the 1850 elections. They are going to give the
people "a clear choice" They're getting lot
of letters from rank and file Republicans ap-
plauding that decision. But the rank-and- -flers
also have other notions. Some suggest new
party, to be called the Conservative Party, or
Constitutional, All-American, American Party
Some say the COP elephant should be re-
placed by an eagle, or a four leaf clover
Others say what the COP needs most is a new
and glamorous figure Eisenhower and Stassen
are mentioned.
So, the COP is going to abandon "Me Too"

Six hundred members of
the DUPONT family are COM
ing there for a family re-
union.
Dave Lawrence, business
minded newspaper columnist,
pulls many whopper and
many a contradiction. But he
made mistake in December
by reversing his field within
18 days, and got caught at it.
On December l, Lawrence
devoted his column to pooh
pooling the CIO steel union
victory on pensions and well
fare program. Lawrence quot

Central thought of the let
ter: Phil Murray and the
Steel Workers should be
roundly chastised for conduct
ing a month-long strike to
gain peanut-sized improve
ments. At Bethlehem, said
Lawrence's "liberal-minded"
source, pension and welfare
plan won by union would cost
company no more than "six
tenths of cent per hour"
Then, the steel companies
hiked up their prices, and
Lawrence had to find a way to
blame the unions for the cor
porations' actions.
So, on December 10, Law
renee lashed out at Murray
and the steel union "for inn

not just 10c an hour cost

and pensions, but a figure es-
timated to be at least 15c an

In other words, Lawrence
lifted steel union gains by

urnns of December / and 19.
It was neatest trick of week.

Inside America

ORGANIZED Dor in
" America has come a long
way during these first so
years of the goth century.
Today's la bor movement
has a membership of over l3
million; in 1900, membership
had just passed the $4,000
mark-and a few short years
earlier the union rolls didn't
number more than quarter
of-a-million.
Unions in 1900 were limited
to few groups of skilled
workers; the day of CIO or
ganization of mass production
industries was still far away.

might have been the United

Leaders of today's big un-
ions hadn't yet attended their
first union meeting when the
new century hove into view.
Phil Murray was a boy living
in a Scottish mining town;
Walter Reuther had years to
wait to be born; Bill Green
was going to school in an
Ohio town; and not a single
cartoonist had yet drawn
John Lewis's eyebrows.
Labor had friends, early in
the century, as ii does today.
Read, for instance, this edi-
torial from the Springfield,
Massachusetts,, Republican of
1902:
Capital must make UP its
mind to get along with organ
lied labor. Such labor is here
to stay, and the law is more
likely TO compel the unioni-
zation of labor than 1t is to
outlaw the labor union. The
sooner this fact is recognized.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-12-30

the sooner will the country be
placed on the way toward at
tanning a permanent indus
trial peace"
That editorial could be read
with profit by good many
present-day Republicans
Speculative question for

diets his party will train or

ions" And he's quoted as
saying COP will start a school
patterned after and intended
to compete with the CIO Po-
litical Action Committee.
CIO-PAC, being human,
likes the compliment.
But it reminds big-shot Re-
publicans that "techniques
are only the body of political
action. The inspiration and
soul of political action is a
deep and abiding faith in the
people of America"
Republicans may be able to
copy ''the body of PAC-but
without a soul, a body, is a
pretty useless thing"
Also, in addition to body
and soul, PAC needs dough.

EccIes Charges FDIC
Is Used 10 Cut Federal
Reserve Membership
Also Tells Subcommittee
Of Attempting to Weaken
U. S. Monetary Policy
ByJ. A. O'Leor

A charge that the Federal De-
post Insurance Corp. "has been
used to discourage membership in
the Federal Reserve System and
to weaken effective monetary pol
icy" was made before a Joint Con-
gressional Economic subcommittee
today by Mariner S. Eccles, vet
eran member and former chair
man of the Federal Reserve Board.
Mr.. Eccles said he supported
creation of the FDIC as a means
of fostering public confidence in
the banking system in the early
30's when most OF my fellow
bankers were denouncin it,"
"But I never expected, and !
am certain Congress never in
tended that this protection for
depositors should be used either to
hamper effective National none
tary policy or to give any class Of
banks special advantages over
others, ne aQoeo.
Urges One Set Of Rules.
The witness, appearing before
the subcommittee considering
overall fiscal and monetary prob
lens. said he regretted to say that
FDIC has been so used.
He also told Senator Douglas.
Democrat. of Illinois, chairman,
there should be one set Of Reserve
requirements for all segments of
the banking system.
Mr.. Eccles said that, except
in emergencies, the Government
should not compete with private
banking and credit institutions.
He supported a pending bill to let
Federal Reserve banks take over
part of the lending function of
RFC~by guaranteeing in part loans
made by private banks.
Asks Change in Act.
He urged a change in the
FDIC Act to let bank become
a member Of the Federal Re-
serve System without joining the
FDIC in the same way that a
State bank is privileged to join
FD1C without becoming . Federal
Reserve member. Under existing
law he said a bank cannot join
the Federal Reserve System with
out also joining FDIC.
He also attacked organized
banking and its outspoken, chiefly
large city banks" as not wanting
any change.
IF you abide by their counsels
or wait for their leadership you
will never do anything in time
to safeguard and protect private
banking and meet the changing
needs of the economy in such a
way as to avoid still further in
trusion of the Government into
the field of private credit" Mr..
Eccles said.
