Foreign Factories We Helped Rebuild

-
the people in how to make
products which they formerly
purchased from US we chip
away our economic advantages.
1t must also be noted that In
the course Of world develop
ments. countries which in the
past relied principally on the
wealth Of the soil for their
economic prosperity are now
becoming rapidly Industrial
lied. And each time we allow
cheaply made foreign goods to
enter our domestic markets we
injure some segment Of our
society.
A substantial portion Of the
price Of any American product
is the charge for labor. Most
Americans don't squawk at the
price because they feel that
those who work with their
hands are entitled to a fair
share Of the reward. The great
strength Of this country is that
our working people can be
homeownerS, can enjoy ma
terial benefits, such as auto
mobiles, and can rear and
educate their children COM
fortably.
II we keep moving into an
international labor community.
however. something has to give.
Either wage scales Of all people
in the world must be raised to
our level, and this is, of course,
highly unlikely. or our wage
scale must be reduced to the
lowest common denominator.
Statistics show frequently a
true picture. The following
interesting figures show the
difference In wages between
the American. British and
Japanese working man:
An unskilled laborer receives
$2.4l an hour in America; So
cents an hour in Britain and
10 cents an hour in Japan.
A bricklayer draws $4.15 an
hour in this country; IS cents
in Britain and 20 cents in
Japan.

ReshuffIing of Commissions to Favor

against his confirmation by
Pacific Northwest Senators
and a few scattered allies from
natural gas consuming States.
In the case Of the former, the
reason Is Chairman Kuyken-
dall's part in turning over the
Hells Canyon power site on
the Snake River to a private
utility, Idaho Power Co. Sena-
tors from natural gas con-
sumner States are disturbed
over Chairman Kuykendall's
part in helping to draft and
to promote in Congress the
bill to deprive the commission
Of which he Is chairman Of
authority to regulate producers

Democrats engaged in the
fight see In Chairman Kuy-
kendall a symbol by which
they could make an issue Of
the debilitation and corrosion
Of the Federal regulatory
agencies during the Eisen-
hover administration to the
detriment Of the public in
terest.
It is, indeed, an opportunity.
But there is one hitch, and an
important one. To make an
issue, you need a party united
behind It's elected leader. But
the leader Of the Democratic
Party in the Senate Is giving
no help In this fight. Why?
Because that leader-Senator
Lyndon johnson Of Texas-is

Decision in Red Cases Seen Gripping
Congressional Inquiries Effectiveness

knowing more about what
Congress needs to know to
legislate than Congress itself
thinks it does In the words
Of Justice Clark:
"The majority (of the COURT
has substituted the judiciary
as the grand inquisitor and
supervisor of congressional in
vestigations. It has never
been so."
All the justices, Of course,
are honorable men and con-
scientious in the pursuit of
their duty. But for the most
part they live in a legal
vacuum. They display a
curious unawareness Of the
actual operations Of Com
munist subversion. To them,
apparently. there is no Com
munist menace, no such thing
as infiltration by stooges of
the Communists. and If a man
admits he has worked and
"co-operated" with the Com
mpnists and then refuses to
tell who else he met in such
activities. this is construed
now as a right Of silence"
derived from the First Amend
ment which, now added to the
Fifth Amendment. makes it
easy for treason to be pro-
tected.
The Supreme Court major
ity realized, to be sure, the
gravity of its decision and
tried to soften the blow by
minimizing the future danger.
All the Congress has to do
now. the court patronizingly
suggests, is to take added
care" in authorizing the use
Of compulsory process. But,
as Justice Clark realistically
points out, the court doesn't
say how this added care"
could be applied in practice.
The Supreme Court major
ity-Chief Justice Warren,
Justices Frankfurter. Black,
Douglas and Brennan-seemed
to think that the desire Of the
individual to be spared any
unpleasant publicity due to his
past associations was more
sacred and more important
than the right Of Congress to
get information about Com
munist plots and infiltration
in order to pass laws to safe
guard the Nation against de-
struction. The ruling was pro-
claimed, too. by the court that
anyone hereafter can teach
and even advocate the forcible
overthrow Of the Government
Of the United States. but un-
less there is conclusive proof
that these teachings are part
Of q conspiracy to "incite"
someone to some action, the
viewpoint expressed Is merely
abstract doctrine" and not
subject to punishment by any
law Congress might pass.

The Supreme Court OF the
United States has crippled the
effectiveness Of congressional
Investigations.
BY one sweeping decision,
the court has opened the way
to Communists. traitors, dis
loyal citizens and crooks of all
kinds-in business and in labor
to refuse to answer any
questions which the witness
arbitrarily decides for himself
are not pertinent" to q
legislative purpose.
This means that every time
a Senator or a Representative
asks a question in an investi-
cation, the witness must be
given a clear explanation of
what the Legislative purpose"
is, and this may even have
to be confirmed by q resolution
adopted in each case by the
Senate or the House. Then 1t
may have to be passed upon
IN a decision by the Supreme
Court before it is really valid.
This cumbersome procedure
kills future Investigations that
seek to expose the ways and
means by which the Commu-
nists infiltrate America. It
kills any searching investiga-
ton Of racketeers in the labor
union movement, or any other
kind Of corruption. Had the
Supreme Courts new law"
been in effect during the
Harding administration It
would have killed of any ex-
posure of the Teapot Dome
