end isn't in sight. This can
squelch the building boom
and result in unemployment.
Interest rates for mortgages
now are above 6 per cent in
many parts OF the country.
What's 1t all about? The
truth is that imitation is in
full swing. The Government
has been spending more than
it has been taking in. The
"spenders" are still fighting
against the savers" in
Washington. Confidence is
lacking.
The public is being repeat
eddy told. moreover. that the
Democratic Party is going to
win in the 1860 presidential
and congressional elections,
and that's less than 10
months away. So if there's
going to be more and more
spending and more and more
imitation in the next few
years, the investor feels he
must turn now to the places
where he can get a higher
return on his money.
Also, the Government later
would have to pay higher
prices for the same quantity
Of things it bought this year.
This means more deficits and
a further weakening of con-
fidence in the dollar.
AS for the economic situa-
ton generally, while there has
been a business boom for the
last few months, now the
steel strike has produced a
new climax. 1t could mean a
turning point for the Nation
in both wages and prices. II
the steel unions win. imitation
will be encouraged because
steel prices will rise. If the
steel companies, however.
can effect a stabilized settle
ment that saves money on
working rules" then prices
can be held down despite a
slight increase in wages next
year.
Every business and every
union in America is watching
steel for a clue to the future
of the economy. 1t will do
the worker little good to get
a wage increase now and pay
out more later for living
costs. This really reduces his
pay.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-20
Initiation in the Interest Rate

To illustrate the meaning
OF imitation. 1t is necessary
to look back only a few years.
Thus. in 1916 a new house
priced at $4,000 required
about $4,000 down and a 90
year mortgage at as per cent.
The total cost amounted to
$l3,202. But today a similar
house costs $l7.600. The usual
down payment is $3.50 and
the interest rate is 6 per
cent. so the total cost is
$27,748.
Until the Nation as a
whole becomes aware of the
unsound doctrines Of the
inflationistS who steer the
Democratic Advisory Council
and influence a substantial
number of Democrats in Con-
gress, there will be little ac-
complished toward develop
ing a sound economy.
Likewise. the union leaders
keep pointing to the profits
of corporations. forgetting
that SURPRISES have to be &C
cumulated to buy new plant
and equipment at higher and
higher prices each year. Pro-
fits went down during the re-
ceSSion. This deficiency has
to be made up in succeed
ing years.
The steel strike will itself
cost the Nation billions of
dollars. One wonders why the
leaders of organized labor do
not see that this is one time
when a wage-and-price
freeze would rescue the econ
omy and start a real wave Of
prosperity.
The facts are just as clear
today as they will be after a
lengthy strike. The answer is
simple: a pledge by the COM
panies that they will not in
crease prices, and an accept
ance by the labor unions of
a revised set of working rules
that will help the employers
to improve efficiency and in
crease productivity so that
the next wage increase can be
absorbed by the companies
without a price increase. 1t
would be a Salutary lesson to
the whole business and flnan-
cial world and gain a big vic
tory for the champions of
sterilization as against the
destructive forces Of in11a-

Mr.. Eisenhower has con-

shrewdness and foresight of
his No. 2 man in the ad-

learn from Mr.. Nixon, after
he has had an exhaustive
talk with the Communist
boss, whether in the Vice

to this reporters informants,
a negative opinion from Mr..
Nixon would postpone the

while an affirmative judg-
ment would bring 1t to a head
this fall.
Mr.. Nixon will have an ad-
vantageous position when he
meets Mr.. Khrushchev. Not
only is he the second highest
Official in the American gov
eminent, but he is also re-
garded by the Soviet boss as
a strong possibility to be
elected President of the
United States in 1860. From
that point of view he has a
distinct advantage over other

gone to Moscow to gain pub
licity for themselves. Accord

Possibly because the steel
strike for months has ap-
peared inevitable, there is no
sense of emergency on the
part of the Government in
dealing with it now that it is
at last an actuality.
President Eisenhower asked
and got a two-week extension
of labor management talks
on a new contract. This was
merely an extension of a pc
Rod in which there seemed
to be no genuine collective
bargaining. He has now asked
the Federal Cancellation Serv-
ice to extend its good Offices

The Nation is in the midst
Of a serious crisis in the fin-
Ancial and economic sense.
Here are some significant
facts:
/. Five years ago the Gov
eminent could sell one-year
notes at an interest rate OF
Ia per cent. Last week 1t
cost the Government 424 per
cent to borrow one-year
money-the highest rate in
30 years for short-term
money. Predictions among
bankers are that the rate will
go to an unprecedented 5 per
cent before the end of the
year.
2. Interest rates FOR COM
mercial borrowing are rising.
Also tax-exempt bonds of
States and cities that just a
few years ago used to bear
interest at l24 per cent now
pay more than twice as
much to attract investors.
The State of California bor-
rowed four years ago at 2
per cent and last month had
to pay 3.94 per cent.
3. Because United States
savings bonds pay too low a
rate Of interest, many people
are cashing them in and in
vesting in something else. In
June alone the public cashed
in $470 million and bought
only 1923 million Of the E
and H bonds.

pie ding with Congress to
raise the ceiling established
by law so that Government
bonds can compete with
other interest rates, but the

are blocking action. They

President Eisenhower will
reserve his final decision on
whether TO attend a summit
meeting until after he has
received a full report from
Vice President Nixon on his
talks with Premier Khru-
shchev, according to know
ledgeable sources.
The Vice President is
leaving this week for a H.
day official visit to the So
Wet Union. He is scheduled
to have a searching heart
to-heart discussion with the
Communist boss. This is in
fact. the main objective Of
his trip. While he is not ex-
pected to indulge in a
vituperative contest with Mr..
Khrushchev, who frequently
uses strong language to i'm
press his visitors, there is no
doubt that Mr.. Nixon will
give tit-for-tat in a more
civilized and polite manner.
Mr.. Eisenhower continues
to remain in doubt about the
actual advantages of a sum-
nit meeting. He is being
urged to attend by our
British allies who appear
convinced that a meeting at
the highest level might yield
vague results (which they
contend are better than
nothing. He is also being
strongly advised by a num-
Der Of Senators and leading
businessmen to try to break
the present deadlock by
complying with Mr.. Khru-
shchev's inSiStent demand for
such a gathering.
On the other hand, import
ant members Of the Presi-
dents own party whose
judgment he has learned to
trust in the six years he has
been in Office have expressed
serious doubts about the ad-
visibility of a summit meet

Some observers have pro-
fesSed to see a degree of
cynicism on the part of both
the union and the industry
in the past, in the belief that
both counted on the accep-
lance by the public of in
creased costs as inevitable.
The public buys little steel
directly and feels its higher
costs mainly in increased
prices for automobiles and
appliances.
It was unqueStionably this
record which prompted the

Labor Issue Plaques Democrats

Moreover. no domestic is
sue has been bedevilled long
er by extremism and by
stereotypes and stale slo-
gans. While the ultracon-
servatives want to make la
Dor more or less unconsti-
tutional. labor itself tends to
demand the whole loaf. La
Dor has largely earned and
honorably kept its high place
in American society. But
rather than helping the
temperate Democrats to
bring OF a reasonable Solu-
ton, some labor leaders are
crying mo" to nearly every
thing.
They did exactly this
eleven years ago when the
Taft-Hartley act was being
drawn. They alienated the
moderateS. The only result
was to build up rather than
to reduce anti-labor extrem-
lists. 1t was only the patient
and skillful Senator Taft of
Ohio who saved labor from
truly vindictive legislation
that passed the House. Labor
is risking now a repetition of
1948.
Senator Taft's reward was
to be unreaSonably denounc-
ed by labor leaders who owed
him much more than they
recognized until much later.
They came too late to under
stand what this supposed

for them, in an angry public
climate.
The climate of public
opinion is similar now. by
every sign. Again, however.
labor leaders are refusing to
give effective support to
those temperate men. such
as Senator Kennedy. who
are above all trying to pro-
tect labor's and the public's

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Nixon to Test Summit Climate

Soviet Union has in this
country. The Kremlin pays
far more attentian TO politi-
cal and economic intelligence
in America than TO military
espionage these days.
While the Soviet economic
intelligence reports are be-
lieved TO be geared TO dove
tail with the wishes Of the
Kremlin that we are slipping
behind Russia in technology,
the political intelligence is
described by informed sources
as excellent and more accu-
rate than most Of our polls.
This was verified, TO a point,
by this reporter. While in
Paris in late october, 1852,
a responsible ofiicial Of the
Polish embassy told a mem
Der of the French secret serv-
ice that Warsaw had been in
formed by Moscow that Mr..
Eisenhower would win hand
somely over Adlai Stevenson.
The news was not particu-
larly pleasant TO: the ! \
lin, since Stain thought he
could do better in dealing
with the Democratic candi-
date, whom the Kremlin re-
garded as a more amenable
and progressive political
man.
But the Pole added that
facts are facts and we must
look at the situation realistl-
cally. 1t appears that the in
formation being transmitted
at present from this coun-
try to Moscow is in the same
vein. This was expressed to
former Gov. Hartman by Mr..
Khrushchev himself during
the formers recent visit to
Moscow.
Mr.. Khrushchev will I'M
quesionably bear in mind
during his talks with Mr..
Nixon that he is talking to
a likely future top policy
maker for America and not
to a person who hopes to de-
rive principally publicity
advantage. The talks will re-
ceive only scant publicity as
to detail unless KhruShchev
wants to make some propa-
ganda capital.
