America Has q Puppet President
Truman Pulled in Every Direction by Radical Advisers;
Some Of His Statements Con Be Proved Untrue

was spoken by the President
about this essential requirement
for profits. Nor did the Presi-
dent tell the American people
what he was advocating was
that virtually 81 billion of extra
wage increases should be paid
out to one group of citizens
and that the Federal revenues
of 10 per cent of that sum
namely, $700 million-should be
sacrificed by using tax money
to pay those wage increases.
This can only mean that Mr..
Truman is willing to transfer
the burden of raising $500 mil
lion to all taxpayers. including
workers in other industries.
The President told the Ameri-
can people that the Taft-Hart-
ley Acts machinery would be of
no help because the country
would have to sit around "a
week or two" while the neces-
sary injunctions were being OBJ
tanned. The act provides a
waiting period of 80 days.
whereas, Mr.. Truman argued,
the union had already waited
SO days. This is a 100 per cent
acceptance of the unions view,
but it isn't all of the truth. Nor
is it a statement Of the obliga-
ton to use specific law instead
of inherent powers" The fact
is that. any time during these
SO days, the President could
have set up a board of inquiry
to get the facts. He did not
have to wait till the last minute.
He could have explored the
question of price. He could have
had an impartial board make a
study of the facts about steel
costs.
Then American public opinion
could have settled the strike, as
it can settle all strikes, by siding
with the union or the companies
depending on what the real facts
show. AS it is, Mr.. Truman has
succeeded in disseminating
many false statements. He has
destroyed confidence in the
fairness of his administration.
He has delivered a body blow
to the cause of individual enter
prise and to the financial sta
bility of privately owned COM
panies in America. He has
demonstrated what a dictator
ship can do in free America
when a Chief Executive blunders
recklessly and then goes from
the frying pan into the fire.

best interest Of the Kremlin.
Col. Bogolepov testified to hav-
ing attended a meeting between
Foreign Minister Litvinov and
the head of the Mongolian desk
in the foreign Office at which
Litvinov declared it was impor-
tant to soften up" the Ameri-
can Government to recognize
Outer Mongolia, Soviet pup
pet. For that operation the
Kremlin needed assistance from
some American recognized as an
authority on the subject. Ac-
cording to Col. Bogolepov, he
selected Prof. baltimore for the
job.
Prof. v. E. Motylev. another
scholar" connected with the
Soviet branch of the IPR, was
also a member of the polit-
ical secret intelligence. He re-
portedly made the necessary
arrangements for the American
Far Eastern expert to visit Mon
golia. Since Prof. Motylev was
too busy to accompany Prof. Lat
timore, he designated Comrades
BRENNAN and Krasatsev. two
lesser members of that intelli-
gence organization, to be the
American scholars guides and
mentors. The then secretary
general of the IPR, Edward c.
Carter. was exuding enthusiasm
about this selection. In a letter
to Prof. baltimore, he described
them as making IAN excep-
tionally useful, delightful and
informing combination" The
Johns Hopkins professor. who
had stated before the subcom-
mittee that he was indeed an
expert on Mongolia, urged Will

fed last Tuesday that the
recommendation amazed him.

David Lowrence:

America today has a puppet
Presidents man who is pulled
and hauled in every direction
by radical advisers and who
does not himself have the ca
pacity to understand the funda-
mentals of the American in
dustrial system.
Several of the important
statements made to a Nation
wide audience by the President
over the radio were misleading.
His mistakes are errors of
judgment, inexperience, and
gullibility.
Yet some of the key state
ments he did make are never
theless untrue. They are easily
proved to be untrue. What's
more, Mr.. Truman did not tell
all of the truth. He omitted
some of the most essential
points that have brought on
the steel dispute-points which,
for political reasons, may have
been wise to omit but which
certainly, on the basis of can
dor, the American people have
the right to expect from their
President. Not a word was
said by him about the Govern
ment's official pressure on the
steel companies to force work.
ers to join unions or lose their
jobs or what this has to do
with the war emergency. Yet
this is one of the main factors
in the whole dispute.
Here are Mr.. Truman'S key
statements and the facts about
them:
Untruth number one: The
President said the steel industry
was making a profit of $3.50
a ton and that ION top of that,
they can get price increase of
close to SO a ton under the Cape
hart amendment" He thus adds
up to a possible $22 a ton profit.
Truth number one: The steel
companies are not making a
profit of $3.50 per ton, because
the Government takes away in
taxes an average of somewhere
between so and 70 cents out OF
every dollar. Profits" are what
companies have left after, and
not before, taxes are paid.
Untruth number two: The
President said that ''If all the
recommendations of the wage
board were put into effect, they
would cost the industry about 81
or IS a ton." and "1f the steel
companies absorbed every penny
Of the wage increase, they would

Constantine Brown:

The investigation OF the
activities of the Institute OF
Pacific Relations, started in
June, 1851, by a subcommittee
of the Senate judiciary Com
mittee headed by Senator Pat
McCarran, is drawing to an end.
A report of it's findings is ex-
pected within few weeks. The

the influence of that private
organization on the Govern
ment's policies in the Far East.
Also it will attempt to establish
to what extent some OF its
executive officers have Willingly
or otherwise served the interests
of the U. S. S. r. against the
best interests of the United
States.
The least spectacular but by
far the most positive and in
formative witness appeared be-
fore the committee last Tues
day. He was Igor Bogolepov, a
former high official and coun-
selor to the late Soviet Foreign
Minister Maxim Litvinov and
also a former Red Army colo
mel who was among the sew
eral thousand officers sent to
Spain during the civil war. He
later fought at Leningrad and
eventually deserted to the Ger
mans with hundreds of thou
sands of other White Russians
and Ukrainians in the hope of
freeing the fatherland from the
Stalinist tyranny. Col. Bogole-
pov now is serving a branch Of
the United States national de-
fense.
His testimony was all from
first-hand knowledge. He de-
scribed the activities Of the So
Wet affiliate of the IPR as "Op-
Grafton Infiltration," and was
fabbergasted that anybody in
the United States could imag-

able to do so. It could not have
been an easy decision-no
easier, in fact, than some others
he has had to make: The deci-
sion to drop the atomic bomb
on Japan, to stop Russia on the
Greek and Turkish borders, to
throw back the invasion of
South Korea. And he knew his
authority would be questioned in
the courts and in Congress. In
fact, even as he spoke, he was
aware that a Senate committee
had agreed to a stipulation that
he should have no power under
the Defense Production Act to
seize any privately owned facil-
tiles which are not public util-
tiles.
The risk the President has
taken is that he may lose his
fight with Big Steel, that he
may not be able to force produc-
ton of the desperately needed
steel and, finally. may fail to
control prices and so fail to
check the greatest inf1ationary
threat thus far faced by the
country.
AS for the courts, the Presi-
dent has given them a tough
problem, which is: Just how
great are the emergency powers
of the President under the Con-
stitution? If the question were
merely one of determining
whether or not the steel COM
panieS are asking for unreason-
able profits, the President could
Evening star., 1952-04-10

still be making profits of SIT or
$18 a ton" This figure is OBJ
tanned evidently by subtracting
81 to SIS of cost from $22 OF
alleged profits.
Truth number two: If the
companies absorbed the in
creased costs, it would extend
not only to their own wage in
creases but to the costs of the
materials they buy-a figure far
in excess of IS ton and close
to $12 a ton-and if they alb
sorbed all costs and these were
only, as the President says, from
81 to IS a ton, the steel COM
panies would not be making a
profit of SIT or $18 ton, be-
cause that's before taxes. Using
the 10 per cent yardstick for
tax rates-normal and excess
prof1ts-the profit would actu-
ally be about $500 per ton.
Untruth number three: The
President said that a profit of
SIT to $18 a ton is high and
that in the three years before
Korea-1947, 1948 and 1949-
steel profits averaged a little
better than $11 a ton, so he
declares that "the companies
could absorb this wage increase
entirely out of profits. and still
be making much higher profits
than they made in the three
prosperous years before Korea"
Truth number three: The $11
a ton profit was before taxes
and in the three years before
Korea the Federal corporation
taxes were only about 38 per
cent on every profit dollar, so
that 81 per cent of the $11
or $6.82 a ton, in those years
was retained as profit. Just
how $500 profit per ton after
Korea is better than $6.82 a
ton before Korea is hard to
understand. Nor were there such
inflationary prices in the items
bought by the steel companies
in the pre-Korean period as
there are today. The purchas-
ing power of the company's dol
lar has gone down. The cost of
living for the investors dollar
has risen, too.
The President paid no atten-
ton whatsoever to the need for
replacement money for expan-
sion and for the need of the
steel companies to complete the
biggest building program of steel
plants ever carried on in the
history of the world. Not a word

expect sympathy for his view
when and if the issue reaches
the Supreme Court. The men,
bers of the court, however,
might not be as outspoken as
one of them was some years ago.
Justice jackson, then Assistant
Attorney General, declared in
1888 in q discussion of profits
and wages:
I'm the face of these astound-
ing profits under the present
administration, big business
will never be able to convince
the American people that it has
been imposed upon, destroyed or
even threatened. It has merely
been saved from ruin and re-
stored to arrogance"
Big Steel's profits, dollar
wise and percentage-wise, have
greatly increased since 1888.

Lowell MeHett:

The Presidents smashing at
tack on the steel industry and
his evident intention to make it
a finish fight, to be won either
by the Government or the steel
companies, has given Washing
ton the biggest surprise in a
long time. It had not been an
ticipated.
The talk about town, as the
negotiations between the United
Steelworkers and the companies
dragged toward an 1nconclu-
sive end. had beeN cynical. 1t
was generally expected that the
companies would yield on the
wage increase demanded by the
workers-and in this instance
recommended by the Wage Sta
biliZation Board - and then
would obtain the price increase
or some part of the price in
crease they demanded in return.
That is the way it has been in
the past. The Government here
tofore has given in on this is
sue, rather than face the con-
sequences of a shutdown in steel
production - the dire conSe-
quences detailed by the Presi-
dent in his Tuesday night
speech. Franklin D. Roosevelt
did it, with bitterness in his
heart, and Mr.. Truman has
done it.
But this time the Missouri
mule in Mr.. Truman took over.
Completely convinced by the
findings of his economic, wage
and price stabilizing agencies
that the companies can pay the
wage increase and still make
excellent profits at present
prices, he has attempted to call
a halt Oh the leapfrogging proc
ess. Not to do so, he believes,
would be to sanction utterly
disastrous imitation, since steel
prices are basic to most all other
industrial costs. He had an
easy out, so far as the workers
were concerned. They could
have taken their new wages
and allowed the country to take
the consequences, saying, as
they sometimes have said in the
past, that prices are not their
problem.
The President elected to make
prices his own problem, as the
one representative Of the people
