slight Soviet concessions, but the
discussions soon begged down
again.
Some delegates now feel that
the recent announcement of the
H-bomb may have been timed to
afford a dramatic opportunity
for new proposals. Whether OF
not it was deliberately timed, it
does provide a plausible reason
for reopening atomic control dis
cussions.
ArmiStice Is Factor.
The Korean armistice has a

f1ict continued.
Both these developments are
reflected in the brief annual re-
port of the United Nations Dis
armament Commission adopted
August 20, eight days after the
Soviet Union exploded it's first
H-bomb.
"It is hoped" the commission
said, that recent international
events will create a propitious

tions have ever proposed. But
that case can be best made
by the monopolistically in
clined who would like to crush
competition. While it is true,
for example, that ten maga-
zine publishing companies may
send through the mails three
fourths of the second class
mail matter, also it is a fact
that the remaining one-fourth
comes from $4,000 smaller
periodicals. which provide jobs
for hundreds of thousands of
printers and editorial en-
ployeS.
If postal rates are increased,
they have to be uniform so
the same legislation that seeks
to impose higher rates on the
larger companies penalties the
smaller companies which have
narrow margins of profit and
would go out of business al
together.
The late Senator Huey Long,
when governor of Louisiana,
persuaded the State Legisla-
ture to pass a law imposing a
heavy tax on newspapers of
large circulation while vir-
tually exempting smaller news
papers in that State, but the
Supreme Court of the United
States held the law uncon-
stitutional because it would be
an infringement on the free
dom of the press.
The second-claSS mail system
was adopted by Congress
several decades ago as a means
of encouraging the diSsemina-
ton of information to the
people. It has proved of
Nationwide benefit in en-
couraging mass consumption
of goods and an ever-increas-
ing National income.
The comments by the Illinois
Senator merely illustrate that

the Republicans happen to
be administering it, but as
social welfare" when the
New Deal or Fair Deal spends
billions of dollars of tax
payers money for subsidies to
farmers or for Federal power

other boondoggling enterprises
that use up taxpayers money

Thomas L. Stokes,-

In his first message to Con-
gress back in January, Presi-
dent Eisenhower promised
new, positive foreign policy"
and in administration quarters
the objective came generally
to be described as a dynamic"
foreign policy.
In that same message, the
President provided big head
lines with his announcement
of withdrawal of the 7th
Fleet which had been serving
as a "neutralizer" between the
Formosa Nationalist China
refuge and Communist China
on the mainland, though the
dramatic "unleashing" of Chi
ang Kai-shek then predicted
has not thus far materialized,
Thereafter for quite a while,
there was little further dra-
MATES as the administration
felt it's way cautiously, and
with no marked deviation from
past policy.
In recent weeks, however,
we have begun to see a con-
traSt with pre-Eisenhower pol
icy. 1t is largely a matter of
accent, of emphasis-and that
publicly-a sharpening up, as it
is known in the theater, rather
than a decided turn in direc-
ton. This has become height
ened since the Korean truce
which clearly has released in
hibitions and relieved tensions,
if perhaps only temporarily.
Interestingly, this change is

charge that the Democrats
had hoped to receive the favor
of the publishers and didn't
increase the postal rates as
much as they should have been
increased, and now are dis
appointed that their efforts to
bribe the publishers by low
rates didn't bear fruit?
To ask the question is to
show the absurdity of the hy-
pothesis used by Senator
Douglas.
During the 1852 campaign,
Senator Olin Johnston of
South Carolina, Democrat,
threatened a Congressional
investigation of postal rates
because he said some large
magazines were supporting
the Eisenhower candidacy.
Senator Mccarthy, Republi-
can, recently tried to show
that there is a right to in
vestigate newspapers because
they enjoy lower rates for
postage, through second-c class
mail, than does the general
public.
The essential fact which
Senator Douglas omitted is
that most big newspapers have
their own carrier systems di-
rect to the homes of sub
scribers and that is why they
don't share the Second-class
mail-rate advantages to the
same extent as nationally dis
tributed publications. Mr..
Douglas also omitted in his
statement to tell the public
that the large magazine pub
fishers now are bitterly oppos-
ing the increases recommended
by the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
This correspondent, although
himself engaged for several
years now in a publishing en-
terprise, has never opposed
the increases in second-claSs
mail rates recommended to
Congress by either Republican
or Democratic administrations,
and believes the public should
pay separately from the sub
Scription price the postage
charges for any publication
delivered by mail, just as the
recipient pays the transporta-
ton cost of any other article
shipped to him.
There is a very good case for
increasing postal rates beyond

retaries of State were seen
rather than heard. The latter
were subordinated to the Pres
ident in a second fiddle role.
That was true particularly in
the Franklin D. Roosevelt re-
gime, less so in the Truman
era.
John Foster Dulles had for
years, likewise, been in train
ing for Secretary of State and
had been regarded, by himself
and some of his friends, as sort
of unofficial Secretary-to-be
without portfolio. He was, you
may recall, all set to go to
work when the second Thomas
E. Dewey election went sour
on election day. Finally he
realized his hardly secret am
bition with General Eisenhower
and, Furthermore, he found
himself with more initiative,
more freedom of action, in-that
office then enjoyed by pre-
decessors for many years. This
was because of President
Eisenhower's firm belief in
delegation of responsibility
and what is sometimes called
cabinet government"
So John Foster Dulles came
out of his shell. He has not
only been the most active
Secretary of State physically
of any in recent years. travel
ing here and there about the
world and to some spots which
never before saw a United
States Secretary of State-to

about our now thick catalogue
of foreign problems, but also
the most active vocally. He has
been much more inclined than
his immediate predecessors to
pull the strings of diplomacy
publicly, in plain view, and
to think out loud on Page One.
For the most part the Presi-
dent has remained in the back
ground.
Such freedom of action and
speech has its risks. There
is. for instance, the case of
the German election. While

have the vision and economic
understanding to grasp is that
the preservation of our eco
nomic system of free enterprise
rests upon the recognition by
government and industry that
our people are entitled socially
and politically to a decent
standard of living through full
employment year in and year
out.
Any businessman or indus
trialist who, in this modern
day, disputes the economic
right of the millions of pro-
ducers of our Nations wealth
to full employment lacks faith
in the social and human values
of enlightened capitalism.
The truth is that the very
survival of our capitalistic sys-
tenn, SO essential to maintain
ing an economic and political
freedom for every American, is
dependent upon a cooperative
economic program between
government and all the forces
of private business and indus
try. Such a program should
have the economic objective Of
full employment for wage
earners and full productive
fair return for farmers, SO as
to assure a decent standard Of
living for every person willing
and able to work and produce.
Such a program is not creep
ing socialism. To the con-
trary, it is enlightened capital
ism in its true sense. 1t limits
the function of government in
the economic field to exercising
only those controls and oper-
ating or supervising only those
public economic projects nee
eSSdry 10 IlrIn up Iull employ
ment and a decent standard Of
living for all.
However, if we follow a
course of action in our own
country which WeakenS the
legitimate gains of labor, re-
duceS the standard of living
of American consumers, con-
centrates wealth in a relatively
few powerful corporations and
international cartels, gives
away control of our natural re-
sources to private monopolies,
and fails to have government
exercise whatever checks, con-
trolls and regulations upon the
economic strong are necessary
to prevent exploitation of the

like Samson, will destroy our

labor will use all of it's econo-
mic and political power to pro-
tect its legitimate economic
and organizational rights.
American labor should face
the ugly fact that there are
powerful employer and busi-
ness leaders who actually be-
lieve that it is desirable to have
an economic recession to a
point that will produce a pool
of unemployed of at least 3
million and preferably 4 mil
lion persons. The callous diSre-
gard of human values repre-
sented by such advocates of
human suffering through un-
employment as a means of
keeping labor disciplined is
shocking evidence of how far
the political pendulum has
swung in our Nation in the
direction of blind reaction. In
fact, big business, now in the
political saddle of the Eisen-
hover administration, is al
ready proposing a sales tax
against the interests of the
consumers of America.
The unsound economic theory
that the law of supply and de-
mand should determine wage
rates and working conditions,
and thef archaic economic
theory that a laissez faire
economy should constitute a
government policy toward con-
Sumer interests, are riding
again in America. They are
horsemen of economic plunder.
They must be unhorsed quick
ly. The laisseZ faire theory
that government should keep
it's hands off the business ac-
tivity of the Nation represents
the point of view of those ever
hopeful and anti-labor forces
in our country who believe that
labor should be treated as one
of the commodities involved in
economic production.
These cruel advocates of
human suffering through a
planned unemployment pro-
gram of 3 million to million
workers as a means of insuring
cheap and disciplined labor do
not really believe in economic
freedom and free enterprise.
They have yet to learn that
their economic success in the
long run depends upon a de-
cent standard of living derived
from a high purchasing power
of every farmer, laborer and
consumer in America.

nomic reactionarieS do not
