Weeks Hopeful
In Fall Forecast

4 MIAMI BEACH July 4 tP).-l
Secretary of Commerce Weeks
said last night fall business pros
poets are bright and will re-
main so unless the steel strike is
prolonged and creates wide
spread materials shortages.
The steel situation is not yet
clear" Mr.. Weeks added. He did
not say how soon he thought a
steel shortage would develop.
The secretary referred to the |
strike in a speech prepared for
the biennial convention of the
National Federation of Business
and Professional Womens Clubs.
Best SIX Months Ever
He did so in outlining the $36
Billion program of plant expan-
sion planned by business and
industry, which would require
huge quantities of steel during
the remainder of the year.
Mr.. Weeks said the Nation has

year. the American people ever

usual summer doldrums may
slow down some lines Of business
activity a bit in this quarter. "
But. he said, the general out
look for the remainderof the
year and the future is bright.
Public Confidence Strong"

of the economy shows strength.
Right now consumer spending is

He said business would not be

sums in expansion if they did

be customers with the cash and
credit to buy their wares when
new factories and plants are in
operation"
Further, he said. the American
people have confidence that a
major war can be averted.

The change of tactics of the
Communists from Moscow to
New York has brought a
greater state of confusion,
doubt and hesitation than
heretofore in the conduct of
our foreign policy.
The American people be-
lieve what they have heard
over the last 10 years from
high political quarters, press,
radio and pulpits that 1.-The
primary objective of the United
States is the establishment
and maintenance of world
peace" This is a national goal
almost universally accepted by
our people. 1t is sacrosanct: no
one dares question the philo-
sophical premise on which it is
predicated.
Because of the goodness and
honesty of purpose of those
who are in the forefront of
the peace crusade, the premise
is accepted automatically by
an overwhelming number of
sincere. God-fearing Ameri-
cans. Yet, does this axiom, if
we are bent on preserving our
heritage. actually mean that
we can avoid fighting in the
future as so many seem to in
terpret it?
We are a Nation dedicated
to honor. We can conduct our
affairs in such way as to be
IN accord with the God-given
conscience within all Of us. To
do this, however, might mean
that honor" would demand
recourse to arms in the event
some other nation sought TO
force dishonor on us.
We are a Nation dedicated to
justice. In our daily domestic
life as in our dealings with
foreign nations we can insist
on justice for all parties as
we have done in the past. This,
too. might conflict with peace
in the event injustice is forced
upon US.
We are country ardently
dedicated to freedom. Here,

The Eisenhower administra :

The Eisenhower administra-
ton is cautiously optimistic
that the steel strike will not
be prolonged to the point
where the public interest is
clearly affected.
Their reasoning is cogent
and almost brutally simple.
For they do not believe that
either the steel companies or
the steel unions can stand the
bright white light of publicity
on the extent to which both
already have contributed to
postwar initiation.
Such publicity is inevitable.
once the Government moves
in-either the administration
or Congress, or both. The first
step of any public investiga-
ton necessarily would be a
study of the facts. not as they
appear TO the union or the
employers, but as they exist
in relation to the general
economy.
Some such studies were set
in motion when the steel strike
first doomed on the economic
horizon. They are not in final
form. and they are being
jealousy guarded from public
view. But their trend is we'll
known to the circles which
watch the progress OF the ma
tional economy.
In general they show that
steel is the leader by a wide
margin Of postwar imitation.

The additional funds that
Congress has appropriated are

We Strive for Peace, but Also Freedom,
And Freedom Is Held More Precious

again, a philosophical conflict
might force us 7 to choose be-
tween freedom and peace.
So we could call the roll OF
the historic detectives of this
Nation: Liberty. general well

equality. and national security.
Each could-and very we'll
might-conf1ict with "estab-
lishment and maintenance of
world peace"
The connotation of complete
dedication to world peace as a
national objective is nothing
more nor less than a pro-
nouncement that we will APP
pease and ultimately surrender
in order to achieve that end.
If peace and honor conflict,
those who are dedicated to
peace have no choice but to
surrender honor and all other
principles for which this Ma
ton has stood ever since its
inception.
Is it the new American phi
losophy to lie supinely and al
low our legacy to be sacrificed
TO heather materialism? Is
this workable? Peace is not a
unilateral action. 1t can be-
achieved only by nations of
good will who desire it. No
matter how diligently we may
be striving toward that goal,
our efforts will be in vain when
the world is stalked by a vi
clous philosophy which is de-
termined to engulf others by
force of arms.

The Steel Strike and Initiation

they have merrily helped it on
its way.
Steel leads the infiationary
parade, but it has never made
a serious. if any, effort to
absorb rising labor costs. 1t
has added Immediately to its
own costs all the new labor
costs and something besides to
take care of any contingency.
Its clotted cream has come
from the fact that while steel
costs inevitably are reflected
elsewhere. there is an in
evitable time lag before other
costs rise. But steel never
waits.
This was shown again last
week when Union President
Mcdonald offered to postpone
a national steel strike for Is
days, provided that any wage
increases and other benefits
mutually agreed on should be-
come effective as of the origi-
nal deadline.
The industry replied it could
not do this because it could
not make higher steel prices
retroactive. The New York
Times account Of the negotia-
tionS said that "in the past
the industry has barred retro
active pay adjustments on the
ground that price increases
cannot be applied retroac-
lively"
From the sidelineS, it does
not appear that a l5-day eff
fort to absorb higher costs is
too large a price to pay for
peace in huge industry ia
nous for its high profits.

1t often has been said that
the COMMUNISTS are especially
adept in organizing mass dem
oristrations and creating prop
uganda for their cause while
the people I'm the Western ma
lions seem slow to appreciate
their opportunities to sway
world opinion.
A good example is what has
happened in the last few days
since the workers of Poland
were shot down because they
demonstrated and pledged for
bread and freedom. 1t would
seem that this dramatic eX-
ample Of what happens to
innocent workers behind the
Iron Curtain who ask only for
Justice would impress every
body on this side Of the Iron
Curtain that the Kremlin's
professions OF righteous turn
toward democracy" have been
debunked.
But where are the protests
of the liberals? Where are
the demonstrations by trade
unions in America. in England,
in Germany. in France and in
Italy? What about the great
religious organizations in this
country?
Often have these religious
groups expressed themselves in
open statements on what they
believe to be moral" issues in
public affairs. They have been
quick to denounce some Of the
controversial procedures of
essional committee
which they may not like. But
shouldn't they be particularly
vocal when civil liberties and
human rights are really
trampled upon as in Poland?

Administration critics have

We have a prosperous country,

The question is not what this
country can afford, but what is

in the Korean War, we spent
S437 billion. In 1855 without
a war, we spent only $40 billion
less. In 1856 the administra-

billion less than at the height
of the Korean conflict.
These astronomical sums are
being spent with the Soviet

unacceptable must restore as
our national detectives those
things which we can attain by
our own conduct and sacrifice.
Perhaps we may have to fight
for them. Perhaps even die for
them. Other Americans have
done so, or this republic would
not have reached its l80th
birthday.
Does a restoration Of these
national detectives make us
"warmongers' and advocates
of violence? Does it conflict
with our deep religious beliefs?
Certainly not. 1t restores
pride, courage and faith. 1t
recognizes that when in an
cient Rome Cincinnatus put
down his pillow and took up
arms there was a reason tran
scending personal safety, not
just for war.
AS free Americans we all
hope and pray that one Of the
outcomes of our dedication to
these detectives will be world
peace. AS realists we must
recognize that the choice Of
war or peace lies with those
who would destroy the dignity
of man. BY our strength and
