Britoin's Wage Issue

Current negotiations between Sir Stafford
Cripps, chancellor of the exchequer, and spokes-
men of the Trades Union Congress, indicate that
Britain's long -simmerng issue of wage levels is
about to boil over. The TUG represents virtually
all of Britain's 100000 organized workers, and,
as such, must be distinguished from the Labor
Party. Hitherto, the Labor government has had
the cooperation of the TUG in it's policy of
freezing wages as vital part in promoting
foreign trade, especially with the dollar area.
This policy was made possible by stability of
internal prices.
Unfortunately prices have been rising slowly
but steadily in recent months. In part, this rise
was due to sterling devaluation, though another
factor was the inf1ationary effect of govern
mental expenditures that were financially ex-
cessive even though politically imperative. That
price rise automatically lessened the purchasing
power of wages and provoked growing demands
from labor that the balance be redressed by
higher wage scales. But any general wage in
crease would cancel out the narrow margin OF
advantage in foreign trade gained by sterling
devaluation, render impossible closing of the
dollar gap," and provoke an economic crisis OF
major proportions.
The wiser leaders of organized labor recog-
nized this and worked Loyalty with the govern
ment in it's wage freeze policy. But the rank
and-file membership has been increasingly hard
to hold in line and the indications are that some
wage raises will have to be granted especially
for the lower-paid workers. The question Is
whether the process can be kept within such
bounds. Fully half the membership of the TUG
is now on record as demanding wage increases.
It should be noted that some OF the most in
sistent demands come from unions with strong
Communist elements. For we must realize that,
although communism was decisively squelched
in the recent elections, its adherents remain in
huential in certain important unions. And Com
munist agitators are doing their best to inflame
labor discomfort over wages and stimulate de-
mands destructive to the national economic
interest.

RebuttuI on Mccarthy

Congratulations to you on your splen-
did editorial of Saturday on the ire
sponsibility of Senator Mccarthy. am
aStonished when you say that most of
the letters" favor the Senator. This leads
me to believe that some special reason
OF partisanship must have motivated
those who write them. cannot believe
that the writer's have considered the
facts and their implications.
hope The Star will continue to stand
for the right of the individual not to be
smeared.

May commend you on your editorial,

Publicity hunting by Senator Mccarthy
is accomplishing the publicity all right

Can there be such thing as too much
music?
We wondered about this the other day
while listening to prominent concert
bureau manager lament empty seats at
some of his concerts.
Had he ever, we wondered, thought
about the effect Of incessant music in
buses, banks and even airplanes?
Music is properly sometime thing,
not an all-time thing. It has precious
quality which sets it apart in our hum
drum world.
If we listen to it too much for too long
periods we find it gro>"s stale and un-
profitable.
Like many other wonderful things, it
bears within itself the seeds Of Its own
destruction.
Surely we cannot expect man who
runs busline to understand this.
It. is not his business. His business is
to sell transportation at so much ride.
If somebody sells him on the idea Of
forcing people to listen to advertisements
by sugar-coating them with music he
accepts it. evidently as a good idea.
He is not fconcerned with the precious
ingredient ii music which keeps it alive,
its fragility.
How can a thing that comes to us
through the air, unseen, be anything else?
It Is not hard as coal, nor red like meat:
1t has none Of the tensile strength OF
plate glass. nor the sturdy rigidity Of q
baseball bat.

am very glad that The Star is taking
a stand against the kind Of irresponsible
smearing Of characters and regulations

ing in behind his convenient cloak Of

evidence, the Senator from Wisconsin,

not an army which could be expected to
hold line running all the way from tho
Baltic to the Mediterranean.
Western Germany has no army at
all. Norway, Denmark. Holland and
Belgium could not muster nearly enough
men between them to hold their own
frontiers without assistance. Italy
is equally weak. France has a garrison
in Germany and Austria and a small
force in training at home, but the
bulk Of her arny-or, rather, the best
of its in Indo-China fighting war
the end of which is not yet in sight.
Fortunately, the real defense of
Europe at this moment does not lie
in Europe at all. The situation is
pegged simply because of the American
stockpile of atomic bombs. But this
is not an advantage that Is bound
to continue Indefinitely.
The real problem before the Western
Allies in Europe is to reestablish their
armies, navies and air forces while there
is still time; to be in position Of equi-
librium with Russia before the present
comfortable protection of the American
atomic bomb is taken away.
Despite all the depressing details given
above, this is very possible proposition,
for it is not only question of manpoWer.
1t is a question of industrial output, Of
money, of skill, of natural resources-and
Of that kind of morale that makes people

For the past five years the Russians
have taken nearly all the initiatives. Now

to swing slowly-as yet much too slowly
the other way.
