that same union is given the
right by Federal law-the
Taft Hartley Act to force
every employed worker to join
the same union under pen
atty of losing his job.
The idea that an employer
must fire a man because he
doesn't want to belong to a
union is a scandal of which
the American people have not
been fully aware. It seems
ironical that a Supreme Court
decision rules that outside in
terests cannot own % per cent
of the stock of another big
corporation-and there are
many businessmen who feel
that this is a sound principle
of antitrust doctrine-yet at
the same time a union can
have 100 per cent control of
the workers in a plant and
Federal law recognizes that
kind of monopoly. The Su-
preme Court. moreover, has
indicated by recent rulings
that this may be valid.
To cure this monopoly,
many States have adopted

teract the Taft-Hartley law.
But these statutes are in
danger because the Supreme
Court has indicated that Con-

at any time and take away
their right to legislate at all

Soviet Promises and Spanish Gold

Minister Negrin felt compelled
to sign that any portion Of
the gold should be used to pay
for whatever supplies the
USSR had sent to Spain.
The treasure was placed in
three modern galleons = the
Kino, Neva and the Volgales-

high officials of the Spanish
National Bank accompanied
the precious consignment.
Three of these are believed to
have died in Siberian and
other Russian concentration
camps. Only one. Jose Con-
zales Alvarez, managed to
escape and died in Montevideo
where he revealed that from
the moment the Spanish gold
arrived in Odessa. and was

the Soviet officials insisted
that it be counted by the
Spaniards coin by coin. This
stratagem was used to keep
the Spanish officials in the
USSR as long as possible.
After the present Madrid gov
eminent received the Negrin

Spanish gold had been sent to
Russia for safekeeping, the
men in the Kremlin admitted
that they had it in the treas

IDENTITIES" The situation was
different, however, with the
Spanish gold. AS a matter of
fact, the Communists suffered
their only military defeat in
this generation on the battle
fields of Spain.
The claim of the Kremlin,
which is mildly attempting to
hide the theft. that the
Spanish gold amounting to
nearly three-quarters-of-a-
billion dollars was used to pay
for the equipment sent from
the USSR is untrue, accord
ing to loyalist sources. Esti-
mates found after the Com
munists were defeated show
that the total value of Soviet
tanks. guns. planes and am
munition did not exceed $50
million.
According to the recently
revealed documents, the loyal
list government decided, when
it was obvious that the war
was being lost, to ship all the
gold and monetary reserves of
the National Bank of Spain to
safety. 1t transferred some
500 million to the Banque de
France as a nest egg for a
rainy day. 1t even sent silver
worth $40 million to the
United States for the account
of the loyalist government, as
well as to other countries.
The USSR ambassador to
Communist Spain, Comrade
Moses Rosenberg. acting as
sumedly on orders from Mos

the Spanish treasury consist

In these days when top

ence proposals of Nikita Khru-
shchev at face value, the fact
that the Soviet government is
guilty of actual thievery is
being overlooked.
None of the free nations
seems to seriously query the
worth of Soviet promises or
formal signatures in the light
of the fact that the Soviet gov
eminent with vast gold re-
sources of it's own has actually
stolen from its one time ally.

Businessmen Urged to Attack Problem
Instead of Criticizing Eisenhower

would think also that the ar
gument made by the labor
groups that profits themselves
have gone up-which is true
in numerical dollars-would be
met with facts and figures
showing that in constant dol
lars" the rate of profit in re-
lation to sales has not risen
at all, but has gone down.
And it is the purchasing power
Of those profit dollars which
counts when it comes to buy
ing plant and equipment to
replace obsolete facilities.
This was the time of all
times for the business groups
of America to be firing away
at the inflationary monster
which is cheating the widows
and orphans and. in fact, all
persons with fixed incomes who
every year are finding their
purchasing power diminished.
1t is surprising that so little
is heard about the causes of
initiation in America. For it
is the concerted and organized
power Of big unionism which
has forced upon the American
economic system higher and
higher costs. In turn. this has
necesSitated higher and higher
prices.
One would think that the re-
cent revelations by the Senate
committee headed by Senator
John L. Mcclellan of Arkansas,
would open the eyes of the
Nation to what the organized
power of a labor monopoly in
virtually every big industry
can do to the Nations price
structure. But it gets passing
attention. AS yet no commit
tee of either house of Congress
has come forth with any pro-
posals to regulate these mo-
nopolieS.
The main cause is being vir-
tually ignored by the business
groups that are attacking the

The biggest threat the
American taxpayer faces isn't
getting much attention now
adays from the businessmen
Of the Nation. Many of them
are talking heatedly in criti-
cism Of the high budget of
the Federal Government, and
blaming the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. They want tax
reduction. But they are over
looking the main culprit-the
steadily increasing imitation
which can wipe out any bene-
fits from tax reduction.
If imitation continues. the
Federal budget will soon be
$50 billion instead of $72
billion a year. Also, in the
last 10 years State and city
budgets have gone up faster
even than the Federal budget.
Whereas the 1948 budgets of
all the cities and States
throughout the Nation was
$15.8 billion, these same totals
went up to $36 billion by 1857.
This is a bigger increase pro-
portionately than the Federal
budget experienced.
But in constant dollars"
in terms of the purchasing
power of today compared with
l940-the budgets of the
States and cities increased
from $50 billion to $l4.2 bill
lion. This is a rise of only
SIS billion. From 1855 to
1858 the Federal budget went
up from seas billion to $7l.8
billion-an increase in nu-
merical dollars of $7.2 billion.
Yet in constant dollars" the
Federal budget went up only
from $30.1 billion to 5000
billion-an increase of only
$500 million.

fire on the Eisenhower ad-
