Will We Ever Learn

Experience, it is said, is the best
teacher. Babies learn by experience,
children learn by it and adults who
do not profit By it are generally
conceded to be mentally deficient
one way or another In view of
these undisputed facts, is it not
strange that they do not apply to
this great and highly literate
country as a whole?
The proof that it does not apply
was made plain again in the state
mcnt Of Mr.. B. NJ. Baluch this
week when he appeafed-by re
quest before the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee. This
committee considering legislation
which proposes to put on stand
by basis the authority and ma
chinely necessary to cope with
another war on near-war emer-
gency were one to burst upon us.
None Of these powers" Mr.. Ba-
ruch explained, would go into eff
feet now. They simply would be
placed on the statute books so they
could be invoked without delay at
some future time Of peril"
There is nothing new in the
legislation before the committee
nor in what Mr.. Baruch said in
support. A man who learns from
experience, Nh. Baruch became
convinced of the principles he ad-
vocates through his experience as
head of the War Industry Board
in the first World War. He hal
been preaching them ever since.
He has presented them in numer-
Gus articles, speeches and many
times before committees Of Con-
gress. No one has ever disputed
their soundness nor suggested an
alternative. There have been thou
sands of editorials approving them
and a great favoring public senti-
ment. At the outbreak Of World
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-04-02

War II, Mr.. Baruch, pointing out
the mistakes Of World War /,
strongly urged THEN immediate
adoption. The then President Mr.
Roosevelt agreed as to the desir-
ability but took no action because
Of the opposition of the labor
union bosses.
After World War II came the
Korean crisis and again Mr. Ba-
ruch went before Senate commit
tee and gave his views. One state
ment he then made-to wit, that
failure in the second World War
promptly to put ceiling on prices,
profits, wages, rents, food, etc,
had unnecessarily cost the country
one hundred billions of dollars,
prolonged the war at least six
months and considerably added to
the sualties-that statement still
stands uncontradicted and unfor-
gotten-at least by few. That
time the committee approved the
Baruch proposals and Congress en-
acted the legislation. Actually, it
gave Mn Truman more power than
he asked. Unhappily, he failed to
use it. Again the obstacle was the
White House alliance with the CIO
labor bosses.
The result has been a dangerous
imitation which has increased the
cost of living; added more than
20 percent to defense costs, per
mitted damaging strikes in basic
industries and defense plants
which, among other things, have
contributed to the shortage Of am
munition pointed out by General
Van Fleet. And now comes Mr. Ba-
luch, responding once more to a
request for his well-known views.
1t is worth while to quote his
words: "The principles underlying
a sound mobilization are unchang-
ing. The object is to organize the
nation so that no matter what hap
pens the armed forces will get
what they need when needed with
the least necessary dislocation to
civilian life"
Continuing, he said This re-
quires allocating our resources so
survival takes priority over de-
sire; it requires power to COM
mandeec, higher taxes, controls
over credit and money, over prices
and wages, rents and other costs
to prevent initiation and to see that
what is scarce goes not to the fat
test purse or the biggest pull but
to the most essential needs with
out profteering The costs Of war
must be shared equitably by all on
internal bitterness will divide us.
These obJectlves cannot be realized
unless the mobilization laws are
on books before the emergency
breaks out Let me emphasize that
particularly for those who would
wait until the bombs are falling
and the world is aflame before en-
acting these standby laws Toi
wait is to make certain our mobili-
zation will be needlessly slowed
which means lengthening the
struggle and looming some to losc
their lives needlessly."
A 1nore solemn warning could
not be given us. What he said was
we'll said but it was mere repeti-
ton of what he had been saying
for nearly 30 years. During that
time another war had been fought
and won, but at vast needless cost. !

Defense Is Expected
To Take 17ob Of Gross
Output During Year
BY the Associated Press

The armed forces. fighting q
limited war and in limited mobili-
zation, now are using about Is
per cent Of the gross national
production and next year will take
an estimated II per cent.
But if the situation doesn't get
worse. If there is no new or bigger
war, the chances are the burden
will be no heavier than is meas
ured by that II per cent figure
Indeed, it probably will begin to
decrease although slowly, after

lduction-the total of all goods anc

IS per cent.
The estimate of Is per cent now
and II per cent next year is based
on the requirements of the De-
fense Department only. It does
not include the secret and undis-
closed construction and produc-
ton projects of the atomic energy
program. While Uranium is not q

New Administration Will Face
Economic Snogs Thick and Fast

Although Government econo-
mists discount the possibility of a
rampaging imitation, they don't
write it off entirely. They were
startled at the latest report on
consumer credit-it suddenly in
creased $3.50 million in October,
to a record high of $22,311, ,O00, 900.
Some of Gen. Eisenhower's
problems are interlocking ones.
For instance:
A truly deep slash in Federal
spending would mean using the
knife on defense appropriations.
This would be distasteful to the
general whose last job was barri-
cading Europe against the Red
Army, and on whom millions are
counting for a quick cleanup in
Korea.
It also raises further questions:
Would such cuts hasten the recess
sion which some businessmen ex-
|pect and all fear, by advancing the
date when defense spending levels
off? And, will the new admins
tration have had time to perfect
anti -def1ationary defenses before
the downturn comes?
Caution Anticipated.
No President would care to pre-
side over a depression. Some who
have talked with Gen. Eisenhower
expect him to move cautiously,
even at risk of alternating some
Republicans in Congress and sup
porters elsewhere.
He will be lucky if he contriveS
to escape some embarrassment
The national debt may sail past
the $275 billion legal limit in his
first or second year in the White
House. He would have to ask
Congress to raise the limit.
It also is possible that the first
Eisenhower budget-meaning the
G. o. P. re-write of the one Presi-
dent Truman is shortly to an
nounce-will wind up with q big
ger deficit in mid-1954 than the
present Truman budget will show

Chemical Plants Report
High Output; Prices Lower

Abundant output at generally
lower prices continued as the key
note in chemical manufacturing
during 1852. AS a variety of new
developments were added to ex-
isting product lines for industrial
and home use. chemical prices
fell back an average of 31a per
cent from last year.
At the same time, production
hit an all-time high. The Fed
eral Reserve Boards index put
industrial chemical production at
a record STA in October 1885,

Although President-elect Eisen-
hover is inheriting a business
boom, his first year in Washington
will bring economic problems thick
and fast.
Imitation may deliver some
lingering kicks if price controls
are allowed to expire on schedule
April 80. And a dose of deflation
is possible later on, when defense
spending stops going up.
Decisions bearing on two major
policies Of his party, a balanced
budget and tax reduction, must be
made even sooner-before the new
Congress with its scant Republican
majority grapples with tax bills
and appropriations.
Gen. Eisenhower's problems will
be aggravated If his supporters ex-
Ipect and demand near-miracles-
such as wiping out the deficits and
cutting taxes in the coming fiscal
year, which starts July /.
Most Government officials and
some Eisenhower business
leaders say privately they do not
see how taxes can be cut before
1854 and do not hope for a budget
balance before fiscal 1855, begin
ming July l, 1854.
Controls One Issue.
Gen. Eisenhower also will have
to decide whether to go along with
the numerous legislators of his
party who demand an early end tc
price-wage controls.
His advisers will recall that the
Republican minority in the 82c
Congress repeatedly denounced
the Truman administration for its
hardness in clamping on control.

A Milford Air Force pilot, who
had been missing for a week on a
routine flight, was found dead near
