For the past 100 years English
and American promoters have
sought concessions" to invest
money and do business in foreign
countries. These concessions con-
sisted of railroad and trolley lines,
electric power plants, manufac-
turing or merchandising operations,
and later mining and sass11loer rights
Some were unpr:hcipled exploit
ations, but most have been honestly
operated. All, however, have given
little attention to the local people
of these foreign countries. almost
none of whom have had a stock in
terest.
These "one-sided" agreements
have caused many diplomatic mis-
understanding and even revolu-
tions against the white man"

are secondary. The big thing is what the
contracts call supplemental unemployment
benefit plan. And this plan, while it falls
short of providing guaranteed annual wage,
is step in that direction. When and If men
are laid off, the companies will make cash
payments, out of large special funds which,
when added to state unemployment compen-
sation, will give the worker 65 per cent of his
take-home pay for four weeks following the
first week, and so per cent thereafter up TO
26 weeks. Walter Reuther originally asked
for much more-80 per cent of take-home for
50 weeks. But he got the GAW principle into
the contracts and that is what counts.
Some think this is an evolutionary devel-
opment-oshers feel that revolutionary is a
more accurate term. Whatever the case, these
contracts have no real precedent and no
one can know now just what the effects Will
be. There are pessmists who feel that they
NAV hold potential seeds of disaster There
are optimists who feel that they VIII lead to
hitherto-unknown stability OF employment
and production at high levels, and will assure
industrial peace. And there are all kinds OF
in-between views and guesses.
One fear is that the drive to extend the
CAV may put companies other than the
giants In an extremely difficult position.
Sylvia Porter touched on this when she
wrote: Smaller, less powerful industries
than the automotive industry Will be strug-
gllng TO keep up. Smallefs less powerful coHl-
panies within the industries will be scranlb-
ling to make it-and if they fail, they'll be
swallowed up by the giants" Another fear is
that companies accepting the CAV will be
forced to limit additions to the work force as
much as possible, because of the heavy liabil-
tiles they assume each time another man
joins the payroll Also, it is widely agreed
that the GAW will cause industry to concen-
trate still more intensely on the development
of labor-saving, cost-cutting machines and
techniques And there is legislative prob
lem involved-only one state, New York, spe-
cifically authorizes payment of unemploy
ment compensation along with wages, while
in number of states administrative agen-
cies have said that this would be illegal.
Both unions and the managements concerned
will now be keenly interested in obtaining
whatever changes in law are required to
make the GAW operative.
At any rate a great experiment, full of
unknowns, is underway. A view of it ex-
pressed by George Shea, writing in the Wall
Street Journal, is undoubtedly widely held:
at may bring some unexpected changes as
well as some expected ones. For the sake of
everyone in the nation, let us hope that bus
mess conditions remain favorable enough to
give it fair test, during which any bugs in
it may be repaired before too much harm is
done, and during which any benefits it may
bring will have time to be recognized

Insurance For independence

Nearly two out of every three
men, women and children in the
u. S. are now protected by volun-
tary health insurance. This is the
dominant and reassuring fact that
survey of the Health Insurance
Council which has just been made
public.
Here, in a nutshell, is the re-
sounding answer to those who be-
lieve that the American public
should be taken charge of, like
helpless infants, and their good
health maintained by socialized
medicine administered by an all
wise Government bureau.
One year ago the Council re-
ported gains in the adoption of
voluntary health insurance in its
various forms, which, with the
further expansion just now reported
makes it pretty clear that Ameri-
cans prefer to look after their own
personal problems. Council Chair
man John H Miller estimates that
by the end of this month, 104 mil
lion people will be insured against
hospital expenses, SO million will
be protected against surgical ex-
pense and so million against regu-
lar medical expense.
Since 1941 the number of per-
sons with hospital protection has
multiplied nearly eight-and-a-half
times, and those with surgical pro-
lection about Is times. The total
benefit payments on all forms of
voluntary health insurance in 1854
exceeded S2,700,000. 900, a gain of
II per cent over 1853.
The et-Government-do- coterie
has long argued that the costs of
disqualification, surgery and gen.
eral medical care have become too
high to be borne by the average
citizen, if and when a catastrophe
illness strikes him or his family.
But, in the discovery that he can
deal with this menace in the same
manner as with fire and food
through a business-like. insurance
arrangement that also protects
millions of others. and for which
all pay the freight-the American
bread-winner has found the way
to health services of his own
choosing. And he is protecting not
merely his physical being, but his
independence and self-respect as

The Burma Plan

The Burma Plan
Mr.. Govett's Plan divides stock
ownership, and membership on the
Board of Directors of the foreign
owned companies between the old
stockholders and the foreign gov
ernment at the start of the re-
organization. One half of the stock
goes to the old stock holders, and
the other half is put intrust in
a Rangoon bank to be delivered to
the Burmese Government as it con-
tributes labor and native supplies.
The Govett Plan insures that the
profits henceforth will be divided
fifty-fifty. The foreign nation sup
plies the ore, oil, or customers if
it is a utility, while the English and
American investors supply the

peace, freedom and human pre-
gress-are shared by men of good
will everywhere"
The realistic DR.. Rhee goes on
from there to remind the assem-
bled delegates that The fifteen
United Nations members who con-
tributed forces for the military
action against the imperialist ag-
gressors in Korea stand committed,
by the joint policy declaration of
July 20, 1858, to the defense of
Korea against further aggression.
''The United Nations is also
solemnly committed to the uni
fication of Korea, which remains
cause of deepest concern and
great urgency to the long-suffering
Korean people. All the people of
Korea want to survive as an in
dependent, democratic and united
nation"
To restore world peace now" ,
President Rhee urges the with
drawsi of foreign troops from
Korea His country asks first. he
says, "the withdrawal of Chinese
Communist troops, with the assur-
ance that they will never renew
their aggressive actions When
they all leave, we know full we'll
the United Nations forces will be
happy to return home.
"Only if our neighbors recipro-
cate the peaceful intentions of the
Republic of Korea, shall we be
in a position to enter into friendly
relations, whether it be with Soviet
Russia, Red China or even Japan
"As long as there are powers
who believe they can conquer the
world, even talks of peace are
practically impossible"
In closing his greeting, DR.. Rhee
comes up with provocative and
cogent thought: I'VE hope all world
statesmen will take sides at this
time The so-called neutral nations
in death struggle between Com
munism and democracy, are friends
of one or enimies of the other. No
Individual or nation can serve two
masters in terms of permanent re-
lations"
In view of the foregoing advices,
requests and recommendations, so
aptly and tersely put, we think we
can appreciate DR.. Rhee's cryptic
closing line: More power to you
on the tenth anniversary of the
United Nations"

WIN, PLACE, AND SHOW

Who profits most from the operations of
American corporations? Some figures from
the u. S. Department of Commerce provide
an answer.
Last year, American corporations paid
out S165, 800 900 900 in wages and salaries
to the people who provided the human energy
used in the production of goods and services.
They paid S17, 100000 to government in taxes
money that built roads, supported schools,
helped maintain the military establishments,
and did thousand and one other jobs. They
S8,000,000,000 of this was retained in the
business to pay for expansion and other job
creating activities. The balance went TO the
stockholders-the people whose savings made
the existence of the corporations possible.
So, in dividing up corporate income, the
workers come first, the government second

THE VANISHING WINDMILL

The last retreat of the windmill in the
United States may be Long Island, New
York. The State Department of Commerce
says that more are found here than anywhere
else in the nation. They go back to British
days, and some are still in working order.
They survive, however, as curiosities rather
than as useful devices.
Half a century ago Cape Cod in Massa-
chusetts was famous for its mills, which prov
ed drawing card for tourists. Little by little
they have disappeared. One of the most fam
Gus, and possibly the Oldest was bought by
Henry Ford and established in his Dearborn
Village, Mich, collection of antiques.
Experts say that few people today know
how either to build windmills or to repair
them. The same difficulty has been found in
England. Their disappearance is a pity.
They were picturesque features of the land
scape And they made constructive use of
the power of the wind.

GIVE RAIL TRANSPORTATION
NEW LIFE

Railroad regulation was set up in the
days when trains were the only major means
of transportation in the country. Designed
to control a natural transportation monopoly
of long ago, this regulation is sadly out of
date in the light of keen modern competition
from trucks, buses and airplanes. Far from
working to the advantage of the public, out
of date regulatory laws impede progress.
Right now regulatory rigidities make it
almost impossible to discontinue passenger
service at points where it is no longer needed,
and where alternative means ef transporta-
ton have reduced the demand TO almost
nothing.
If the recommendations made by the
Presidential Cabinet Committee on Trans
port Policy should become law it is estimated
that over 700 passenger trains are likely to
be eliminated to make room foI progress.
To illustrate, an official Of a railroad
points out typical case where one light
weight highspeed streamline train could re-
place two old-fashioned passenger trains,
thereby putting the service on a paying basis
while providing passengers with better ac-
commodations.
Regulatory laws which prevent the nor
NAL Encouragement and development of our
railroad system to meet the changing needs
of the country simply do not make sense.
