possible for men to have their
sins forgiven before the coming
of Christ provided they had sim

sent messengers of forgiveness
e.g. Nathan and David. While
people who have never heard of

Turkey is one of major non
Arab Mosiem states comparable in
this respect to Pakistan or lndo-

the overwhelming majority are
of the Islamic faith. Even in Is

Jews and countless others give
the city a distinctly cosmopoli-

Moslems is estimated at IS per

something like $50 mosqueS-a

by different members of this
conglomerate panel of public
spirited citizens: Do wage In
creases cause price increases, or
vice versa? Who is soaking or
squeezing or gouging the public
labor or management? Is labor
stronger than management, or
vice versa? Or are they both
too strong for their own good
and for the good of the country
as a whole?
Consumer Caught in . Squssze
AS coincidence would have 1T,
two well-known journalists gave
more or less contradictory an
swers to these questions on the
same day, Aug. 7. They agreed,
up to- point, that the consum-
er is caught in a squeeze be-
tween labor and management.
But they disagreed as to the
identity of the culprit. Column
ist Frank Kent blamed it all on
the labor movement. 1t is all
due, he said, Ito the extraordl-
nary power of the great labor
unions to compel industry to
Weld to their demands no mat
ter how gross or unfair" A. H.
Raskin, veteran reporter for the
New York Times, adopted q
more neutral approach to the
problem.
In contrast to Mr.. Kent, Mr..
Raskin said - in the Sunday
Times magazine section-that to
the extent that the public is be-
ing soaked or squeezed, labor
and management are equally at
fault. He did not say explicitly
that labor and management have
actually put the squeeze on the
public. but he did warn that this
is a possibility to be guarded
against very carefully In future
negotiations between the two
parties.
Statistical Refutation
The answer to Mr.. Kent's col
umn is simple matter of statis-
ties. The record shows that prof
its after taxes for the first six
months of 1855 were 81 per cent
higher than for the same period
in 1954-for the second quarter,
"a per cent.
According to the August news
letter of the National City Bank
of New York, profits before and
after taxes were the best in four
years. These figures are SUBJ
Stantially corroborated by the

Atuns With The Times

In intellectual circles, especial
ly the universities, the striking
feature seems 10 be an indiffer-
ence to Islam-a certain dlSdain
for ii as an archaic institution,
and. an eager desire to be as
atune as possible with what is
conceived as the temper of the
Goth century.
Under the Republic non-Mos-
lens have a higher status than
before-in theory. In fact, their
role is actually subservient. The
new Turkish Republic is COM
pact, almost all-Turkish enter
prise in contrast with the cos
mopolitan Ottoman empire,
which for its existence was fore
ed to accommodate millions OF
subjects of all races and faiths.
AS of 1850, for example, the call
to prayers in Arabic was per-
mitted once again after the eff.
fort to make Turkish the sole
language of worship.
1t seems to me that the major
crisis in Turkish religious life
is the attempt to satisfy the Is
lamic tradition of people and
at the same time, appear in the
eyes of the world as a vigorous,
occidental, secularized state in
which what pass for "supersti-
tions" have been relegated to the
past. Turkey is not out of the
woods by any means on this
score.
Twin Fears
Communism obviously has no
roots in this land. First, because
it is illegal; secondly, because of
centuries OF hostility to Russia
which makes anything coming
from that land obnoxious to the
Turks. There are criticisms,
however, from official and pri-
vate sources, that the twin dan
ger in the future is clerical
ism and communism m"-that is
io say. revived Islamic fanati.
cism and Marxism.

just as good il not better.
In the light of these statistics
and in view of their highly re-
spectacle source, it is difficult
TO take Mr.. Kent seriously when
he says, in effect. that a power
mad labor movement is taking
unfair advantage of industry. On
the contrary, industry would
seem to be doing very well in
deed.
Nub of the Problem
Mr.. Raskin, on the other hand,
deserves to be taken very seri-
ously when he warns against the
danger of collusion between big
labor and big management. This
is potentially very serious
problem. The only trouble is that
Raskin doesn't tell us what to
do about it. He merely exhorts
labor and management to be
fair to the consumer.
The nub of the problem is that
labor and management, even
when they want to be fair TO
the consumer, lack the necessary
mechanism or organization for
putting their good intentions in
to practice.
AT the present time collective
bargaining, even at best, is car.
ried on more or less haphazard.
ly. Labor and management in.
one industry negotiate a. con.
tract at regular intervals with.
out any reference to the con.
tracts being negotiated in other
areas of the economy. The rea,
son for this is that there is no
organization through which these
contracts running into the
thousands every year-can even
be analyzed, let alone coordinat-
ed, in the light of their collee-
tive impact on the rest of the
economy.
1t would seem apparent, then,
that to exhort labor and man.
agement to be fair to the con.
sumer is only half the battle.
What is needed, in addition, IL
some sort of industry council
system charged with the authori.
ty to establish and enforce soma
rules of the game. Such a sys-
tenn cannot be developed over
night, but there are several pre-
liminary steps that ought to be
taken as soon as possible.
Two Preliminary Steps
One is the full disclosure OF
pertinent information in individ-
ual companies or corporations as
a basis for intelligent collective
bargaining.
Secondly, it would be a good
idea for labor and management
in each major industry to meet
occasionally during the course OF
the year - between collective
bargaining sessions = TO make A
Joint study of the relationship
between wages and prices in
their own little segment of the
economy. Subsequently this
might lead to series of intra
industry conferences for the
same purpose and, eventually, to
the establishment of a national
conference of labor and manage
ment in all of the major indus
tries. Later on such a confer
ence could be expanded to in.

Of contentious that will undoubt-
edly develop, it is to be expected
that the considerations of party
politics will intrude, but 1 am op-
timistic enough to believe that in
most instances partisan politics
will be a minor factor.
With the house Of representa-
tives under Democratic control
and the senate under Republican
control, we have the basic in
gradients of partisan politics in
the legislature. At this writing the
session is still SO young that the
harmony that now prevails is
normal. But it seems to me that
in this harmony there is some
thing deeper than the mere lack
OF friction that is usual so early
IN the session.
1t may be that the legislators.
even the Republicans, will not
always see eye to eye with Gov
ernor Aronson, but it is apparent
that the governor will go at least
half way in working with the
lawmakers and that the legisla-
tors, in the main, will sincerely
cooperate with the governor. Even
IN areas of disagreement, I think
the tendency on both sides will
be toward give-and-take solution.
One evidence of the cooperative
spirit between the lawmakers and
the chief executive is that each
Wednesday morning Gov. Aronson
is meeting with the joint finance
committees. Thus the governor will
be in a better position to keep up
to date on the legislators point
of view and they will have the
governors reactions on appropri-
alton problems.
Governor Aronson, who was a
veteran senator from Glacier
county when he became chief
executive two years ago, is par
ticipating in various other legis-
lative conferences. This is a whole
some situation, made possible be-
cause of the mutual desire of the
legislators and the governor to
work together. Also there is an
obvious tendency of legislative
committees to work with the heads
of the various executive depart
ments, boards and commissions.

prevails does not mean that Gov

Helena - Considering the di-
versity of economic interests, it
seems rather remarkable to me
that there is so little provincial
ism in the Montana legislature.
Montana's contrasts in topography,
IN historical background, in at
tachments either to the east or to
the west are so great that n
wonders how this can be a COM
monwealth with any real COM
mon ground of unity.
We who live in western Montana
may not appreciate how far we
are from eastern Montana and
how little we may understand the
problems and aspirations of that
vast area. I have lived in eastern
Montana and quite often I have
travelled over its highways. And
what has especially impressed me
In these experiences is the appar-
ent fact that there is too much of
a tendency in western Montana to
take eastern Montana for granted.
Over the years eastern Mon
tana has produced some of our
very best legislators. OF the pres
