Then and Now

The Administration says we should
MT worry, that the recession of
1949-1950 was worse.
1t wasn't.
In 1949-50 there was an enormous
backlog of consumer demands that
were still untitled. Passenger car
production in 1850 was over 6.5 mil
lion as against a contemplated mil
lion in 1854.
At the end of 1913 consumer cred
it outstanding was $8.9 billion but
by the end of 1853 it had risen to
$21.8 billion and was leveling off.
That increase of nearly $13 billion
built and sold a lot of cars, television
sets, washing machines and other
goods.
In 1949-1950 federal spending was
rising. In 1854 it was falling and is
continuing to fall. In 1949-50 Amer
lean farmers were still getting good
prices for their products. Four years
later they were on the down-grade.
The Administration tells critics,
''Why didn't you say something in
the recession of 1949-5O?" The
answer is, Look at the record"
At the opening of Congress Presi-
dent Truman asked for a number of
measures to keep purchasing power
up including repeal of Taft-Hartley,
more aid to housing, increased fed

Figure Juggling

The harsh fact is that the govern
ment's figures seriously understated,
month after month, the number of
workers who had lost their jobs.
The economic wizards advising the
Administration came up with a phrase
to describe our prosperous economy
of early 1858: They called it a
forced draft" economy or an cover
time" economy.
So as hundreds of thousands of
workers lost their jobs, and realized
there was no place to get new ones,
the statisticians simply wiped them
out of what they call the "civil labor
force"
By Eisenhower administration fig
ures the civil labor force was no
bigger in December 1853 than it
had been in December 1952-al-
though about 100000 new workers
entered the labor force as they fin
ished school and began competing
for work.
How did the economic wizards
reach this astounding result?
They simply dropped from their
statistics what they called the "mar-
ginal" workers-older men and wom-
en-, second wage-earners in a family,
and anyone else who, learning that
he couldn't get new job, stopped |
actively trying to get one.
These workers, the wizards
had been the product of the
forced draft" economy.
They had all had jobs, doing pro-
ductive work and adding to the
strength of our economy.
But the statisticians claimed, in

TrickIe Downers

Congress declared in the Employ
ment Act of 1916 the responsibility
of the federal government to main
tain maximum employment, produc-
ton and purchasing power"
That was a statement of policy
rather than legislation. But it was
supposed to mean something. What
it means to the present Administra-
ton is now being tested.
There are just two theories about
the best way, in our kind of economy,
to encourage maximum employ
ment" One is that maximum en-
ployment and production was stimu-
lated when most people get money
enough to buy the flood of goods
and services we can pour out.
The other is the Trickle Down the
ory-the notion that if the govern
ment gives tax favors to business,
thinkers with money and credit to
favor business, this encourages Sin
vestment" and the benefit eventually
''trickles down"
We are now in the Trickle Down

Purchasing Power

The economic wizards don't make
up for lost purchasing power by
simply refusing to count as "unem-
ployed" hundreds of thousands of
workers statistically manipulated
out of the labor force"
They don't make up for lost farm
purchasing power, with its impact on
farm machinery, automobile and ap-
pliance factories, by planning new
attacks on the parity prices guaran-
teed farmers.
The stock market prices, which
reached a 24-year high early in 1854,
don't reflect the actualities of eco
nomic conditions. High dividends
paid on the basis of last years So
called "forced draft" economy don't
guarantee the future of business.
The American economy must be an
one, year after year, to
consume the products of our fac
tories and service trades. If it does
Mt expand, we won't have trolling
readjustment" or a recession" but
the threat of genuine depression.

eral standards for unemployment
compensation, continued rent con-
troll, and expanded social security
legislation.
In April 1850 he sent special
message to Congress asking action on
increased unemployment compensa-
ton. The Senate set up a special COM
mittee to study unemployment.
CLIO President Philip Murray on
April 21 wrote all congressman urg-
ing emergency action on unemploy-
ment. He asked higher level of un-
employment compensation benefits,
an emergency public works bill, and
establishment of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps.
In line with the CLOS demands
for action and Pres. Truman's mes
sage attempts were made in 1850 to
bring unemployment compensation
payments into line with reality, but
they were killed in the Senate. Sen.
Knowland (R-Calif.), now majority
leader, played the chief role.
The Observation-Disclosures coalition
forced through Congress adoption of
the Knowland amendment to the so
cial security act 1t had the effect of
lessening the federal governments
control over state unemployment
compensation programs.
1t opened the door for raids on
state unemployment compensation
systems-which took place later
by employer groups interested in
slashing unemployment compensa-
ton funds and in putting into the
state laws hundreds of reasons for
disqualifying workers from jobless
benefits.

The Tax Program

The tax "relief" proposed by the
Administration concentrated almost
exclusively on the relief of corpora
tions and stockholders.
Corporations would be allowed new
depreciation allowances on their ma
chinery and plants. They would save
on taxes on foreign earnings. They
would get liberalized provision for
writing back" losses.
All of this would benefit corpora
tions an estimated SIS billion
year, rising to over So billion by
1860 when the quick depreciation
feature reaches full flower.
Another SIP billion in tax "relief''
would go to corporation stockholders.
This creates a favored class of tax
payers drawing income from invest
ment rather than day-to-day work.
1t completely reverses an earlier the
DRY that earned" income-wages
or salaries earned by work of hand
and brain today-deserved a more
favored position than dividend in

Short Hours

Even workers who still had jobs be-
gan to suffer the loss of overtime
pay and the short work week.
The average work week in the steel
mills last January, according to a
WALL STREET JOURNAL survey,
was 35.7 hours hours down from
January 1853.
The average in all manufacturing
was 1915 hours in February 1854
down from Al hours in February
1853.
Steel production dropped to 60
per cent of capacity. Detroit motor
producers talked blithely of selling
more than 5 million new cars this
year-but most dealers thought
they'd be lucky to sell more than
II million new cars.
Farm income continued to drop
both in relation to past records and
in proportion to the income of other
groups. Seven million farmers suf-
fering recession meant million
poorer customers for industry.

The COP Recession

Face to face with recession be-
ginning in the latter part of 1868, the
Republican Administration reacted
almost exactly as Herbert Hoover's
Administration did in the economic
crisis that got deeper and deeper
from 1929 to 1888.
Treasury Secretary George Hum
phrey denied it was a recession. He
said our economy was simply going
through rolling readjustment." "a
rolling readjustment is one in which
people get ''readjusted" out of jobs
but theoretically will soon be ''rolled"
into new jobs doing something else).
The businessmen in the Admins
tration issued windy warnings as
sorting that people who talked about
recession" were inviting" one -
that we might scare ourselves into
trouble if citizens spoke their
thoughts honestly.

No Pickup

Trouble was that the rolling re-
adjustment" kept on rolling up high
er and higher figures of unemploy-
ment
Men and women thrown out of
work climbed from IL million in
October 1858 to 81 million in March
1954-and this told only part of the
story.
There was nothing like the "nor-
mal' pickup in business in February
over January. March showed an in
crease of $4,000 in unemployment
instead of decline of 114,000 as
in 1853.
Newspapers were full of stories of
new layoffs, new Burroughs" Work
ers in New England were warned
that if they didn't vote themselves
voluntary" wage cuts, production
would be moved elsewhere.
The Department of Labor reported
that job declines were occurring Sin
wide range of industries" The last
single area listed as 'short labor"
center disappeared, and IT'S areas re-
ported labor surplus-more work
ers than jobs.

81 to s

The only tax relief proposed for
the vast majority of Americans-the
500 of them who have incomes of
$4,000 a year or less-amounts to
about $205 million, about six per
cent of the total tax relief granted.
Most of this is concentrated on
special hardship and dependency
cases-people with unusually large
medical bills, widowed mothers work
ing to support children, a few fami-
lies with peculiar cases of depend
ents.
The great mass of the workers get
nothing, except slap in the face.
If they earn their money with their
hands or brains they pay more taxes
than if they sit on their hands and

selves - that the economy was
sound and that we weren't in any
''real trouble"
Secretary of the Treasury George
Humphrey told a congressional COM
mittee that even million unem-
ployed was relatively low figure"
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks went to Canada and assured
our good neighbors there that every
thing was all right in America-and
that if things turned sour the Adj
ministration would know what to
do. But it wasn't doing anything, eX-
cept scheme up ways and means of
getting tax relief to business.
1t refused to acknowledge the
realities of joblessness and recession
and refused to listen when warned
that ours must be an expanding
economy.

Expansion

The only way to look at our econ
omy correctly is to realize that each
year we need more jobs, not fewer,
to keep the country sound and pros
porous.
Each year the workers produces
more-his output per hour climbs an
average of 4 per cent. That's good,
providing people have enough money
to buy the products.
Each year more and more young
workers flood into the job market
about 100000 of them.
We can't maintain prosperity by
standing still or slipping back, by
tinkering with the statistics about
the civil labor force, by pretending
that things won't be ''too bad" if
they are only little worse than a
year before.
Our economy must furnish enough
power to buy the produc-
ton of more workers and higher eff
ficiency. If it doesn't, if it shrinks
or stands still, mass unemployment
is a constant threat.

Delay

Back of the policy of pretending
everything was all right there was
shifting and uncertainty.
On February II President Eisen-
hover told news conference that
March would be considered a critical
month, that unless there was a bust
ness pickup, tax reduction for con-
sumers would be one of the first
measures considered.
On March "a, when the figures
showed there wasn't going to be a
pickup in March, the President told
another news conference he had been
advised Easter was late this year
and the ladies weren't buying. He
couldn't commit himself on taxes but
the situation was under study.
All the study seemed to revolve
around means of juggling the tax

effect, that they never should have
had jobs, that what happened to them
had no place in the economic picture.
That's the way the Administra-
ton managed to count 'only" 81
million unemployed in March 1854.

Spring

The whole subject was treated as
a theme for political wisecracks.
COP speech-writers suggested that
those who were worried were mere
"self-appointed prophets of gloom
and DOOM"
The Administration pinned its
hopes on the coming of Spring.
Way back in 193O-on March 8
Mr.. Hoover's Secretary of Com
merce, Robert P. Lamont, claimed
that "as weather conditions moder-
ate we are likely to find the coun-
try as a whole enjoying its wonted
state of prosperity. Business will be
normal in two months"
Twenty-four years later his words
were being echoed by Mr.. Eisenhow-
er and his Secretary of Defense,
Charles Wilson. Eisenhower said the
trouble was Easter is late this year.
Wilson said-February 10, 1854
II wouldn't worry about Detroit.
Come spring it's going to be all
right.

still is opposed to the separate

said he thinks it would be bettax

Nevertheless. Senator McCar-
ran offered hope of q solu-

not changed his mind, he said
did not propose to be adamant
about it, If Washington interests
insist on settling the issue in
what he termed "the more ex-
pensive way"
The issue win have to come
before the Senate soon, unless
both proposals are allowed to die
in the last days Of this Congress.
Neither Senator McCarran nor
Senator Barrett has indicated he
intends to let the solution be
reached this way. Both, rather.
