techniques.
In 1852, and again in 1856,
labor discovered that while
they had done a good job
with members, they had not
really reached the wives who
did not attend the meetings.
Since 1856 a determined drive
has been made to correct this
fundamental error.
These political experts in
labor, who also seek to have
doorbells rung and votes cast,
are aiming at the white-collar
workers self-interest to
counter any gains corporate
business may make in its
program Of political action.
Since 1850, for example,
white-collar employment has
increased almost half again
as fast as total employment.
Nor is this gain brought about
by a shift from manufac-
turing to services. The great
est percentage increase in
white-collar employment has
been within the major manu-
featuring industries. Today
about 2l.5 per cent of all
white-collar workers are en-
ployed in manufacturing as
against 1873 per cent in 1910.
This is explained, in large
part, by the introduction into
manufacturing Of engineers,
physicists, chemists and tech
nicians of many kinds. in
Guiding those who care for
and operate the computers
and machines Of automation.
In politics, too, there are

lenge wrought by the indus

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Stepped-up Red Economic Aggression
Against West Expected to Be Result

among all the democratic
countries, Britain was most
willing TO maintain peace by
concessions to the totali-
tartan governments.
There were in 1886 far
seeing Britons who pointed
out that the Nazis would not
live UP to the treaty terms
and would build a powerful
navy which eventually might
be turned against the En-
pire itself. Similarly, now it
can be pointed out that the
commercial treaty might be
turned against the vital COM
mercial interests Of Britain,
as well as Of the free world.
The agreement signed in
Moscow by Britain's Chair
man of the Board of Trade
equivalent to our Commerce
Department. provides among
other things the sale to the
Soviet Union Of complete
plants which could serve as
prototypes for Russian copies.
Once these are transplanted
to the Soviet Union and du-
plicated in numbers, there
would be no hating the COM
petition against the produce
ton of the free countries.
We in America, as well as
in most Of the free industrial
countries. must pay high
wages and high taxes in our
free competitive enterprise
system. In Russia, as we'll as
in the satellite countries,
wages are fixed by the state.
There are no labor disputes or
strikes in the Soviet Para
disc While the production
prices in the free countries
are established by the wages
paid. the cost of raw ma
terials and necessary profit
for the investors, the Soviet
government need not worry
over these factors. Men and
raw materials are the proper
ty of the dictatorship.
In order to further under
mine the capabilities of the
free world, the Kremlin can
sell its manufactured products
for foreign trade at whatever
low cost is necessary to de-
stroy the competition of the
free industrial countries.
1t is for this reason that
the MuScovites have always
insisted on obtaining from the
West prototypes accompanied
by blueprints which would
permit their engineers to
copy and (sometimes) i'm
prove on their product. The
Russians have had the jump

The signing Of a CONNER
cial treaty between Great
Britain and the USSR on
May rs has caused eyebrows
to be discreetly raised in
Washington. This treaty had
been foreshadowed for some
time-in fact. since Prime
Minister Macmillan's visit to
Moscow to pave the way for
a Big Four foreign ministers
conference to be followed by
a summit meeting.
Informed sources said then
that the British Prime Min
lister had committed himself
to bringing about a summit
rneeting--so dear to the heart
OF Premier. Khrushchev. In
exchange. the Soviet die
tator agreed to sign what is
described as a Juicy" trade
agreement with Britain-so
dear to the hearts Of the
British industrialists as well
as Conservative and Labor
politicians.
What Britain can actually
gain. except in terms Of
domestic politics, is difficult
to understand. Some diplo-
mats compared this Soviet
British agreement with the
German British naval agree
ment signed by Joachim Rib
bentrop in 1896. 1t provided
that Germany would be free
from the naval limitations
Of the Versailles Treaty. Her
naval forces were increased.
They were to be maintained
at SO per cent below the Brit
ish naval strength. France,
which was far behind in her
naval rearmament. was not
even consulted during the
negotiations.
British leaders of those
days saw advantages to their
own country, and went
through with the agreement
even If some realized that it
was being made at the ex-
pense of their then close ally.
The argument set forth to
critics, such as Winston
Churchill. was that there was
no point in not entering into
such an agreement since
Hitler had decided to increase
his navy regardless of what
the allies might have said.
Surely, it was then argued,
Britain would not plunge the
world into another war be-
cause the Germans had de-
cided to do away with a
clause of the Versailles
Treaty. The London treaty,
1t was said, gave assurances
for the maintenance of peace
since the Nazis would thus
refrain from building an
overwhelming sea power.
There is a similarity be-
tween 1885 and 1859, in as
far as British conduct is con-
cerned. although the naval
and trade treaties are entire
ly different in scope. The
similarity rests in the fact
that the present Communist
dictator, like the departed
Nazi colleague, felt that
