DrsPELLING THE FOG

In a previous article | pointed
out that if ''The American Way"
is to be retained and improved,
businessmen must bestir them
selves to inform the American
people of the true facts regarding
our economic system; that also
management has responsibility
Ia trusteeship not only for its
stockholders but for its employees
and the general public.
The u. S. Steel Corporation is
one company that realizes its re-
sponsibility. ]. Carlisle MacDon-
aid, Assistant to the Chairman of
that company, recently addressed
a meeting of Industrial Editors at
Philadelphia. During his speech
he stated that developing favor
able public opinion in the plant
community is function of indus
trial management, ranking in i'm
portance with market develop
ment. sound engineering, operat-
ing practices and availability of
raw material. He maintained that
the creation of favorable public
opinion is dependent upon two
principal factors.
The first of these factors" Mr..
Macdonald said, ''is sound poll
cies which work to the mutual sd-
vantage of the company's employ
ees, customers, stockholders and
neighbors in the plant commun-
ity. The second is proper explain
alton of these policies, and public
understanding of them"
These two factors are extreme
ly important in a new develop
ment like Fairless Works, which
u. S. Steel is building in nearby
Bucks county, Mr.. Macdonald
declared. Here is great new
fully integrated steel mill rising
in county hitherto predominant
ly agricultural, a county widely
known for its lovely, residential
sections, its historical monuments,
and an exceptional group of resi-
dents who have taken an import
ant part in the cultural develop
ment of the nation.
Industry, so far as it has ex-
listed, has been chiefly in the light,
small manufacturing field" he
continued. "It is little wonder
that such an extensive develop
ment as the building of the Fair
less Works has created certain
complex problems of civic, So
cial and economic nature. These
problems, and the questions they
raise, must be harmoniously re-
Isolved if community and plant
are to move forward together on
the rising tide of industrial resur-
gence."
Describing what has been done
to meet these problems, Mr.. Mac
donald said that "first of all,
| from the policy standpoint, Unit
led States Steel believes that COM
lpany and community share a mu-
tual responsibility in discussing
and solving these problems. The
ipublic in the area may count up
ION a substantial measure of coop
,eration from this new industry in
/ its efforts looking toward solu-
ton of community problems Gre
ated by industrial growth.
"Much has already been accom-
iplished in this regard. The pro-
gram is going forward. Whole

are being expanded; more and

We are spinning our own fates
from day to day be they good or
evil, never to be undone.
The smallest stroke of good or
bad leaves its little scar.

count it., and a kind heaven may
not count it; but it is being count
ed none the less. Nothing we ever
do is literally wiped off our slate.
This, of course, has its good
points as well as the bad points.
in as much as persons can become
drunkards by so many drinks, SO
we can become saints in the
drinking of good morals.
We all get more satisfaction out
of living a good life, than a

When you get discharged from

honorable to receive an Honor

What is the job ahead for farm
ers who must provide the food
and fiber to keep this nation GO
ing at high standard of living?
According to the estimates at
the census bureau, the popula-
ton of the country is increas-
ing at 212 million annual rate,
which means that in another 20
years, we will have an additional
so million people to feed, or any,
where from 100 million to 200
million Americans dependent up
on the diminishing farm popula-
tion for food and clothing.
And according to the Depart
ment of Agricultural, the farmer
must do this job on just about the
acreage that is cultivated today.
Also, according to the research
section of the department, the
production of the American farm
er can be pushed up about so per-
cent.
To do this job of increased pro-
duction means that the farmer,
given growing weather, must
make wider application of the
research knowledge now avail
able :. it means application of
| more fertilizer s. more of the
conservation rotation practices
which have been found best to in
crease yields \. /. continued soil
improvement expansion of
electric power and mechanical
implements :. +. better seeds, both
from a production standpoint and
resistance to plant disease +.
more and better insecticides
it means more and better credit
facilities and continued price
supports at a figure which will
Insure the farmer a fair profit for
these additional yield practices
will mean higher costs of opera
ton.
| According to these folks who
are looking ahead to the future OF
American agriculture, there also
must be put into practice bet
ter distribution system to provide
for better farm market and
lmore thought given to the actual
needs of farmers in the matter OF
the nations manufacturing out
tput.
| Few folks realize it, but the
fact is that the farmers of the
country use more steel in a year
than goes into years output OF
passenger automobiles . &. that
they use enough rubber to put
tires on six million cars +. that
they use more petroleum and its
| derivatives than any other bust
mess that they use enough
electric power to supply the cities
lof Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore
and Houston.
In 1851 the operating cost Of
farmers alone amounted to S22E
billion dollars, ah IS more
than the total fai oss incor1s
of any year prior 943. Year:
ago a farmer could operate a long
time at loss if he had to. Today

roads, or any of the other means of

Constitution stands athwart his
path. Not even members of the
Congress, in which all delegated
Legislative power resides under the
Constitution, could constitutionally,
and without violation of their re-
spective caths of office, make the
necessary appropriations and au-
thorize the President to nationalize
the industry of the United States,
thereby converting this nation in
to socialistic nation.
"Citizens who value the priceless
advantages of Americanism cannot
stand idly by and allow our chosen
representatives to depart from the
orderly and established methods of
governmental functioning. Ours is
correctly described as a government
of laws and not a government of men,
Under such legal system private
property and individual freedom are
safeguarded. Under it our free en-
terprise system has fourished and
has brought this infant nation to a
position of preeminance in the world.
"But let us never forget that the
great advances in American life have
been accomplished, not as the result
of militaristic methods, not by die
tatorial action, not by lawless seizure
of private property Rather they
have been achieved through order
ly, legal, well-defned methods which
have spurred on liberty-loving in
dividuals to exercise their God
given talents to the utmost.
"This system now faces its greatest
crisis. Accepting the report of yes
terday by the President of this coun-
try, that the greatest emergency in
our history now confronts America,
let us meet it through adherence to
American principles and time tested
legal methods. Let it not be met by
REIMBURSEMENT of basic constitu-
tional principles.
''The creed which has kept alive
the spirit of the United States will
not allow acceptance of any system
which is founded upon principles
foreign to the American way of life.
Our system is the soundest ever
devised by man. From modest be-
ginnings placed in the soil by the
early founders, the government of
the United States has proven itself
the most notable in world history.
This is the system to be preserved at
all cost 1t will be perpetuated only
if men and women who value their
liberties and their freedoms will raj
ly now to its support. By so doing
they can guarantee that this form of
shall not perish from

from authority to requisition,' to
authority merely to institute con-
demnation proceedings in the courts.
More significantly, is the De-
Tense Production Act, Congress ex-
pressed its intent that there be eff
fective procedure for the settlement
of labor disputes affecting the ma
tional defense and that no action in
consistent with the provisions of the
Labor Management Relations Act
of 1947, or other applicable laws,
should be taken.
''In Selling the steel plants, the
President has thus ignored the con-
sidered judgment of Congress and
has apparently relied upon the
theory that he, as President, has I'M
der the Constitution a broad and
underlined inherent power to do al
most anything which he conceives to
be in the public interest. It is my
firm belief that that theory does not
find any support in the Constitution
or in our fundamental principles or
government.
eff we depart from the well-de-
fined system and proceed along the
path that such unwarrented action
traverses, we advance one step on
the road to dictatorship. The choise
must be made between a govern
ment of limited powers, or a govern
ment by executive decree. Any ar
bitrary and drastic action by the
Chief Executive of this nation, with
out legal foundation, is a denial of
the underlying theory of our form of
government. Through separation of
powers the Congress makes the laws,
the Courts interpret those laws, and
the Chief Executive is limited to
the execution of the laws.
More important than anything l
could say on the subject is the
Judicial mandate set forth by one of
the greatest Marylanders of all time,
Chief Justice Roger Brook fancy.
He stood firm against the usurpa-
ton by the President of excessive
power. The fancy declaration mo-
mentous when it was made, is even
more of warning today. This il
lustrious Marylander said:
1t is the second article of the
Constitution that provides for the
organization of the executive de-
partment, enumerates the powers
conferred on it, and prescribes its
duties. And if the high power
over the liberty of the citizen now
claimed, was intended to be con-
ferred upon the President, it
would undoubtedly be found in
plain words in this article; but
there is not word in it that can
furnish the slightest ground to
justify the exercise of the powsF
Nor can any argument be
drawn from the nature of SOW
ereignty, or the necessity of gov
eminent, for self-defense in times
of tummult and danger. The gov
eminent of the United States is
one of delegated and limited pow
ers; it derives its existence and
authority altogether from the com
stitution, and neither of its
branches, executive, legislative or
judicial, can exercise any of theI
powers of government beyond

words, the surcharge is only a
temporary device for the liqui-
dalton Of a specific obligation.
It should also like to point
out that this surcharge is not
causing any additional burden
on the consumers Of electricity
This is due to the fact that i'm
mediately after the transfer Of
the electric power system to
the Virgin Islands Corporation
the electric light rates were
generally reduced. With the
exception Of minimum rate
consumers, formerly SOC per
month, and now raised to $1.00
q month which, however, car

CITY, all other consumers are
enjoying substantial reduc-
tons, even including the sur
charge.
TO satisfy myself that this
is the situation, I have re-
viewed the accounts of the
Power Authority and the Vir-
gin Islands Corporation for
the months Of May, June, July
and August 1852, the new
rates having become effective
on July !, 1852. Here are some
typical cases culled at random
from the records.
Consumer A paid $3.50 for 49,
XIV in the month of May and only
$4.93 for 48 XIV during the month
of July. Consumer B paid $2.38 for
II XIV during the month of May
and $1.87 for II XIV during the
month Of July. Consumer C paid
$500 for 95 XIV during the month
of August. Consumer D paid 1854
for n XIV during the month Of
May and $2.86 for 26 XIV during
the month Of July. Consumer E
paid $40 for SIS XIV during the
month of May and $6.05 for SIS
XIV during the month Of July.
Among some of the larger con-
surners are these comparisons:
Consumer "A paid 1910 for 90
XIV during the month of May and

Of July. Consumer B paid $l7.76
