WIDENING THE GAP

Recently in this column it
was pointed out that our ma
tional security is being threat
ened by purchases of heavy
electrical equipment being
made abroad by certain of the
Federal Government power
agencies. There is an explana-
ton, but not a reasonable ex-
cuse, for this misguided policy
of these government agencies
they are able to buy this
equipment from Europe can
manufacturers at consider
ably lower price than it can
be purchased from American
concerns. AS was pointed out,
the reason is that hourly earn
ingS of workers in these for
eign plants are only a fraction
of the hourly earnings of our
American workers.
In view of this great dis
parity in wages paid abroad
and those paid in the U.S.A.,
which is working to the detri-
ment of a vast segment of
American concerns, it would
seem to be the part Of wisdom
to take necessary measures to
narrow he gap. But certain
things are brewing that would
widen the gap and make for
an even greater handicap on
our American manufacturers
in their battle with foreign
competition.
Legislative action is being
proposed backed by organized
labor, to amend the Fair Labor
Standards Act SO as to provide
for a shorter work week. Such
legislation, the unions claim
IS necessary to spread avail
able work and thus to create
more jobs. Its proponents ad-
NIT, however, that with a
shorter work week, there
could be strong tendency for
many workers to seek and hold
second jobs, which would de
feat its hoped-for objective.
The present goal of the labor
unions is a 35-hour week, with
no reduction of take-home pay.

LATE MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST
BY JESS S. HARRIS

Ohio's two Democratic United
States senators seem to have
chosen different ways-one this
away; the other that away.

with Rep. John Henderson
Big Stick

Although the Senate was hard
at work considering the Labor
Reform Bill, last weeks schedule
of the House of Representative
was extremely light. This afford
ed me an opportunity to return
to Ohio and to the 18th District
for a first-hand conversation
with taxpayers and to obtain
their thinking. One theme seemed
to predominant in the minds of
the people with whom l talked
and that dealt with the philo-
sophy which this nation should
adopt in dealing with communist
Russia. There seemed to be
unanimity that our only proper
course is one of stern inSiStence
upon our point of view. Time
and time again, the expression
was given me "We must stand
up to these fellows and show
them that we mean business" !
Someone pointed out, and I
think rightly, that Russia will
take everything she can get
through diplomatic means and
that no matter how agreeable we
are in our negotiations, no mat
ter how sweetly or softly we
talk, if it serves the Russian pur-
pose to go to war with US, she
will go to war. By the same
token nothing that we can do by
way of insiStence on our point
of view or refusal to make con-
cessions to Russian demands will
provoke the Russians to a point
of armed conflict if it, in fact,
does not want to go to war
1t seems to sum up to the pro-
position that there is confidence
that the United States has the
advantage and will only lose that
advantage by inept diplomatic
concessions. Our position and
our strength can be the domln-
ant factor in the forthcoming
discussions at both the Prime
Minister'S Conference and at any
summit meeting that follows it.
A number of Southeastern Ohio
ans asked that their greetings
be conveyed to our new Secre-
tary of State and TO assure him

nitude of his responsibilities and
are backing his efforts to main
tain the peace through a strong
stand against further Russian
demands.

State assuming a larger share
of the burden.
He said much discretion was

the manner in which additional
State aid shall be used.
The program as originally
made public, appeared to in
dicate that even in those
counties which had salary scales
above the State minimum most
of the increased State aid would
have to be applied to teachers
salaries.
