Battle for Germany Near Climax
Action Taken by Bonn Parliament NATO Peace Conroc
Will Either Strengthen or Weaken Western Coalition

The Russian proposal unques-
tionably appeals to the rank and
file of the people of Western
Germany. Some experienced po-
litical leaders see the pitfalls
of the Muscovite proposal. But
the man in the street seems to
think that there is much merit
in what the U. S. S. r. govern
ment is Offering.
The position of the shrewd
and tough German Chancellor
has been weakened in the last
few months. His popularity in
the country has shrunk and his
following in the West German
Parliament has dwindled. He
managed with some difficulty to
induce the Bonn Parliament to
approve the steel-coal agree
ment with France known as the
Schuman plan. But it is now
doubtful that he can muster
enough votes for ratification of
the peace contract, or for ap-
proval of the Pleven plan which
provides for a limited merger
of all Western European mill
tary forces.
The German people have be-
come more aware recently that
since the end of the war France
has been fearful and distrustful
of a fully sovereign Germany.
The suggestion that Germany
must become once more even a
limited military power in order
to ward off a possible Soviet ag-
gression is frowned on not so
much by the French cabinet
but by the National Assembly
and the vast majority of the
French people. This fear Of Ger
many'S military persists in
France and Belgium despite the
formal guarantees given these
countries by the American Gov
ernment that the United States

gression against France from

OPS Says Steel Can't Prove Case

Actually. the cost Of the
most important single item

and is now lower than it was

1T Is true that In the past
the steel industry has often fol-

prices by substantially greater
amount than the increase in
labor costs. The effect of this
policy has been to steadily in

a level of 50 in 1947 to an aver
age of more than $40 in 1851"
The excess profits tax in the
case Of steel is based on the
good earning years Of 1947, '48
and '49. During those years,
the report says, the industry's
earnings (before taxes aver

Little Is Known Pronouncements Of the Supreme Court
On Subject Of Powers During an Emergency
tents Of the Supreme Court
ring an Emergency

This correspondent, in a con-
verSation with the late Chief
Justice, heard him complain
rather bitterly at the distortion
of that phrase by opportunists.
What Justice Hughes was trying
to argue in his speech on the
stump was an entirely different
point, and the expression was
used in a literal sense at that
time-namely. that the Supreme
Court had interpreted the Con-
Stitution in particular case to
which he referred and that
therefore their decision was the
supreme law. The Constitution,
Of course, is what the words and
phrases of the articles in that
great document say is the su-
preme law Of the land.
It is amazing how little known
are the pronouncements Of the
Supreme Court Of the United
States on the subject Of powers
during an emergency"
President Lincoln during the
Civil War took an action which
the Attorney General later
sought to justify as due to an
emergency, and when the case
known as lex parte Milligan"
was decided in 1866, the de-
cision handed down at that time
became a landmark in Amer
lea, because it pointed out that,
while as Commander-in-C Chief
the President has the power to
command the armed forces and
to conduct military campaigns,
he does not have the power to
violate civil rights. The Supreme
Court said in that case:
"The Constitution Of the
United States is law for rulers
and people, equally in war and
in peace. and covers with its
shield Of protection all classes
of men, at all times. and under
all circumstances.

Lowell MeHett:

The price Of steel-the price
the companies should be per-
mitted to charge If compelled to
pay the wages recommended by
the Government-continues to
be the sticking point in the
dispute between the industry
and the workers. This dispute
has been carried to the White
House, to Congress and to the
Supreme Court. The court, of
course. has not been asked to
deal with the price question:
only with the legality Of the
Presidents seizure order. the
method by which he got the
workers back into the mills
pending adjustment Of the dis
pute. Nor has Congress under
taken to deal with prices. Yet
the inSiStence of the companies
that they cannot raise wages
unless allowed to raise prices
remains the crux Of the prob
lem.
It is useful therefore to con-
slider what the one agency
charged with the. sole duty Of
determining the reasonable
ness Of prices under the Defense
Production Act has to say on
the subject. This is the ONCE
of Price Sterilization OPS.
OPS has issued a report, "Sta-
bilization and Steel Prices" in
which it says:
"A price increase such as the
one demanded by the steel in
dustry to Offset the wage in
crease recommended by the
Wage Sterilization Board can
not be justified-either on the
basis Of public policy or sound
facts and figures"
Breaking down the increased
cost of operation under the
proposed new wages, the report
says the added cost per ton to
the steel mills would be $3.43
per ton during 1852 and $3.97
per ton for the contract period
Of 18 months. But even in the
face Of these figures the steel
industry has insisted that it will
require $12 a ton ceiling price
increase" The report says fur
ther:
"A general increase in steel
wages in December, 1850, raised
employment costs per ton by
about $3.50 on the average. At
the same time steel prices were
raised in excess Of So a ton. Yet
OPS figures indicate that since

no net change in the cost Of

ais for the steel industry.

than that any Of it's provisions
can be suspended during any of
the great exigencies of Govern
ment. Such a doctrine leads di-
rectly to anarchy or despotism,
but the theory of necessity on
which it is based is false; for
the Government, within the
Constitution. has all the powers
granted to it which are neces-
sary to preserve its existence"
What is not generally known,
also, is that many laws are
passed and many executive acts
are from time to time per-
formed which are not chal-
lenged in the courts, and hence
there is no opportunity to
determine whether or not they
are within the Constitution.
Thus, the Department Of JUS
tice recently contended as
justification for the seizure of
the steel plants, that several
times there have been plants
seized in the past. Justice Pine
disposed of that contention by
pointing out that at no time had
the acts been challenged, and
hence it could not be said that
they had been legalized.
1t is not widely known more
over, that any act which is be-
lieved to be unconstitutional
can be challenged and even dis
obeyed, but the person who is
bringing the challenge runs the
risk, if the act Is upheld, of pay
ing the penalty for having dis
obeyed the law. This is one
reason why. even though an un-
constitutional act may be be-
lieved to have been committed.
