five, and enjoy more benefits and greater
employed, retirement benefits and 50 on.
The only way these benefits could be grant
ed would be for many industries to order
sharp increases in their products.
Keeping this in mind, we repeat what
we have said on earlier occasions The
economic threat from Communism will
succeed only if labor leaders and industrial
leaders allow their own selfish interests to
upset the economic progress of this
country. While there is no limit on the
profit margin big industries can make, in
dustrial leaders should attempt to produce
good product, at reasonable profit, and
should refrain from gouging the public by
exacting excessive profits in cases where
they are in a monopolistic, or semi-mono-
polistic position
Likewise, union leaders should keep in
mind the general welfare of the country
and should not encourage their workers to
believe that they can earn more and more
each year, working less and less each year
four-day work week would not only
weaken the United States, economically
1t would weaken our country morally, and
cannot be justified in view of comparative
conditions in practically every other
country in the world.

Action-Not Promises

president EISENHOWER this week
suggested to the conference Of Governors
that states responsibilities be reestablshed
particularly insofar as federal grants for
functions for which safes are responsible
working committee of governors and
federal representatives may be constituted
to study the suggestion
1t is reassuring that the President has
acknowledged federal assumption of
states responsibilities in any particular
The spheres mentioned were calculated to
reduced financial demands on the federal
treasury. Unless the federal government
adopts policy of balancing its own bud
get. repaying its debts, and reducing it's
taxes, we can see no results to be gained
II federal taxes are to remain steady so
as to provide more money for foreign re-
armament, rehabilitation, and financial
aid. it appears additional state taxes will
be required to continue some of the fed
orally financed domestic functions.
Mr. Eisenhower has talked states re-
sponsiblities from the beginning of his
political career. He sold himself to South
ern voters with straightforward statements
proclalming the rights of the states 1t can
be fairly said that during his administration
the federal government has gradually
taken away states responsibilities until
they are little more than political sub
division. The condition has come about
principally through decisions of the Su-

no direct control under ordinary circum-

Beginning Of The End

WALTER REUTER-, president of tho
United Automobile Workers, says that
next year the JAW will bargain aggressive
ly for shorter work week and increased
take-home pay. Reuther told reporters that
the Unions demands next year would be
larger than ever.
There are hints that the JAW will seek
a four-day worker week in collective bar
gaming next year and seek pay raises to
more than compensate workers for the
shorter work week.
We cannot help but review the results
Of the short work week in France, and in
other countries, where it has been tried.
Despite all the marvels and miracles Of
mass production, there is still no way in
the United States. or anywhere else in the
world, for workers to enjoy the fruit Of in
dustrous labor without providing just

The American worker is where he is to-
day because he has been willing to work,
and because industry has provided him

goods. which in turn are sold all over the

No matter how one figures it, there is no
way in 1857, or in 1858, for the American
worker to work only four days, rather than

No, he is not eligible for

was out of work for some
months. He isn't disabled
now. There are no social Sc

temporary disability.

said, "I'm a salelady in a

down ladders and being ON
my feet all day. My doctor
says I've got to stop and take
a lighter job, but as I'm past
so, l think I'll quit work alto

There are some types of work
she can do. There are no So
