A Political Steel Burquin

that management cannot be
granted the right to negoti-
ate changes in the work rules.
The next step, Of course,
Is the vote to be taken next
month under the auspices Of
the National Labor Relations
Board. The steel companies
are very anxious to see what
the men will say by their
votes. On the ballot will ap-
pear a summary Of the COM
panies' latest offer and the
men will be asked to vote
yes" or mo" on it.
1t is expected that the
union position will be upheld
by a substantial margin. But
the important point will be
the size of the opposition.
1t would seem that this will
be higher than the 7 per cent
noted in the postcard poll
just taken by the unions, be-
cause the actual campaign
by the companies to state
their case has not yet begun.
When the voting is over
and the steel workers pre-
sumably have rejected the
final offer by the companies,
a decision will have to be
reached by the unions wheth-
er to keep the men at work
as the 80-day Injunction ex-
pireS.
But even while this hap
pens. the pressure from in
f1uential members of Con-
gress will begin, and the
chances are in the end that
If a political" settlement is
made, it will deal a body
blow to the whole crusade
against imitation. The COM
panies will then feel justified
in raising their prices. This
would be a disappointment
to all those who believe in a
stabilized economy. 1t will
be a demonstration of the
power of unions to force in
f1ation on the American peo-
pie.

Foreign Aid Promises Are Seen Mounting

situation for a retiring Presi-
dent, and the two-term limi-
tation which prevents his
running again is only a part
of the story.
Even the presidential can
didates who must get noticed
in all ways open to them
view their headline rival with
considerable detachment. All
naturally have a healthy dis
like for tangling with him
under any circumstances,
and they are particularly
wary of appearing to be on
the wrong side of the peace
issue.
From this group will come
the inheritor of the conse-
quences of the Eisenhower
travels, and, it can be safely
said, it contains no optimiSts.
The President is moderating
the international climate
and arousing fresh hope, but
he is not achieving solutions.
He rarely visits a country
which does not want more
American money, a situation
that has been getting more
difficult every year. In fact,
a foreign-aid cut next year
is probable.
Hope disappointed is a
strong and bitter emotion
with which to deal. Dis
patches from the countries
the President has just visited
suggest that the United
States cannot possibly do all
that these nations are asking
for.
In private political dis
cussions, the question is al
ways raised about why any
one really wants to be
President at this point. 1t
has been seriously suggested
to Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
that the 1860 winner could
not possibly be reelected in
1864 after dealing with the
can of worms he will find on
his desk and that he, there

National Attitude, Not Party Size,
Revealed as Key to Red Strenoth
CONSTANTINE BROWN

sit Is a dangerous illusion to
think that country is safe
because its Communist Party
Is weak, If pro-Soviet views
meet with a wide response"
In the United States the
Communist Party is esti-
mated at approximately 90
600. Some claim it is even
smaller. But in a nation of
l76 million citizens, statistics
have led some people to be-
lieve that the danger to the
Nation Of such a small num-
Der is infinitesimal. If we ac-
cept the number of 10000
Communists it comes to one
out of every 5000 citizens.
Yet, if we are realistic we
will see that "pro-Soviet
views are meeting with a
wide response"
One can see the success of
Soviet propaganda in the
United States every day in
our newspapers. We can read
the views and suggested solu-
tions Of our national and in
ternational dilemmas by solid
American citizens whose con-
Germ for our Nations welfare
stems from a real patriotic
fervor. Yet many of the solu-
tions are unwilling repeti-
tions Of Soviet propaganda.
This is because the Soviet
agents are far superior in
their ability to sell their prod
ucts than the much-touted
Madison Avenue boys.
Let us review a few of the
Soviets' particular propagan-
da lines. Immediately after
the a mic bombs were
dropped in l945, William z.
Foster, in an article in the
Daily Worker, advocated that
the military control of atomic
power should be invested in
the United Nations. Less than
a year later there was formed
an Atomic Commission in
the United Nations, and it's
Evening star., 1959-12-24

There is a general mis-
conception in the non-Com-
munist world that the size Of
the Communist Party in any
given country determines the
strength Of the party. 1t
takes only a handful Of
armed guards to control a
large number of prison in
mates and, similarly, Soviet
Russia with a population of
220 million is ruled by the
elite Communist Party esti-
mated at approximately 3
million. That is about one
out of every 10 persons.
In the non-Communist
countries again it takes only
a small number of trained
Communist agents in influen-
tial and strategic positions to
mislead thousands of free
citizens. One can compare
such a situation with a fully
equipped, well-trained divi-
sion Of 10000 soldiers who
can be led to victory, rout
or surrender by the strategic
position of its commanding
officer.
The aim of the Soviet
Union throughout the free
world is to obtain power and
influence; power to deter
mine a specified goal and
influence to dupe the non
Communists into carrying it
out. On the face of it, it
would be impossible for the
followers Of Marx and Engels
to persuade every citizen in
the world or even every citi-
zen Of the Soviet Union to be
a dedicated intelligent Com
munist. 1t is the control OF
education and the thinking
OF the masses which is their
ultimate aim.

Of Soviet propaganda, made
by one Of the committees of
the NATO congress held in
London last June, stated that

was one Of the stalls Of a
caravanserai. You may see
them even today in parts
of the Holy Land, in India
and in Arabia.
They are picturesque places,
where the camel, donkey or
horse caravans come. Their
attendants sleep in the stalls
or on piles Of straw and blan-
ketS in the open by their
animals. The area about the
stalls will be filled with dogs,
people coming and going, and
with cooking fires. The air
will be heavy in late after
noon with the smell Of NUT
ton or goat meat cooking and
Of tea being brewed. All about
will be vendors of the fat,
round Arab bread and Of
sweetmeats and tobacco. I
have seen these in Iran and
India. They are not too
greatly changed from the
time Of Christ.
Wherever there are horses
and camels, there Is grain.
And wherever there is grain,
there are birds.
Now, legend has it that in
the stall where Jesus was
born there was a little brown
bird which had his nest high
in the top Of the stall on a
ledge of rock. He is a most
inconspicuous bird. He could
not sing a note. He lived a
very dull life, and he was shy
and sad because he could not
sing like the other birds.
One night as the lonely
little bird slept on his nest, he
was awakened by a great

A Tiny Bird Has an Honored Place
In the Legend of the Soviours Birth

Birds are perhaps the ia
vorites Of Gods many crea-
tionS. The pleasure of hav-
ing a bird feeder about the
house is one of the purer
enjoyments of life. They are
beautiful without exception.
There are no ugly birds.
They have many foibles
shared by humans, but their
beauty causes us to over
look these, or to be amused.
Never angry, it is not at all
a coincidence that birds are
the center of some of the
most pleasing and happy
stories about the great events
Of the Bible in the folklore
Of the ancient countries
where the bearded prophets,
the Apostles and Christ lived
and had their being.
One Of these concerns the
nightingale, which Keats i'm
mortalized in lode to a
Nightingale:
Thou was not born for
death. immortal bird!
No hungry generations tread
thee down;
The voice I heard this pass
ing night was heard
In ancient days by emperor
and clown;
Perhaps the selfsame song
that found a path
Through the sad heart Of
Ruth, when sick for
home,
She stood in tears amid the
alien corn"

know, in one Of several caves

Pressure Is Described as Building Up
For Soft Settlement, Hostenino InfIotion

the enormous political influ-
ence that they usually exert.
Again and again, manage
ment has been virtually
forced to yield to the de-
mands of the unions through
government intervention. In
the current situation, PreSi-
dent Eisenhower has up
to this time stood up well
against the pressure for a
political" settlement. Inside
his official family nevertheless
are those who have been
urging him to change his
attitude. 1t is an open ques-
ton how long Mr.. Eisenhower
will be able to stand firm.
If the labor union leaders
were convinced that manage
ment would under no circum-
stances yield. there would be
a quick settlement. For the
differences between the two
sides are by no means ir-
reconcilable.
Actually. this years con-
tract isn't half as important
as the precedent to be created
by this years negotiation.
The work rules are the real
stumbling block. Conditions
vary in different companies.
The steel managers feel that
they must. by this present
controversy, diSabuse the la
Dor leaders of the idea that
a work rule once adopted
cannot be changed there
after, and that clauses once
agreed upon in the past are
not subject to collective bar
gaining in subsequent years.
The principle involved is
important to both sides. It
could bring frustrating con-
dition to the steel industry
unless solved. Machinery to
bring about a settlement is
available, but the unions
have taken the position that
they will not yield at all, and

them said:
Sing with US, little bird"
Alas" he said, 81 cannot

And the little bird did try

that is why, even today, the

the nightingale sings like an

Indeed, the reason all chill

children are closer to the

1t Is an accepted fact of
political life that 1860 will
see President Eisenhower al
most exclusively occupied
with the ceremonial and
peace-making tasks so con-
genial to him. His travel
schedule is already heavy,
and the more countries he
visits, the heavier the pres
sures will be from others
eager to share his limelight.
Politicians of both parties
are satisfied to have it this
way for many reasons be-
sides the simple and obvious
one that as people they share
the desire for peace which
the Eisenhower presence so
successfully projects.
They know first of all that
they could not change him,
even if they tried. The Pres
ident has been worked on by
experts in the hope of inter-
esting him in long-range
domestic problems and poll
cies. He has not responded,
and in his final year of office
his power to get such pro-
q grams off the ground has
dwindled to the vanishing
point anyway.
Only some domestic catas-
trophe demanding his active
interest could change this
situation. Neither party wants
this, for it would force both
into strong positions which
would bear harshly on some
important segment of the
voters. Democratic congress
sional leaders frankly want a
short housekeeping session
next year. Republicans know
that in his peace role, the
President is giving them his
best, and they are happy,
too, with his passive. conserv-
ative attitude on domestic
affairs, including the budget.
Thus the hardened pros
will give the President more
compliments and less real
attention than he has ever
received. It is an unusual

Federal mediators may
come and go, the manage
ment representatives and
steel union leaders may be
called into continuous ses-
sions, but the fact is that
neither side has the slightest
intention Of giving in at this
time.
The future procedure is
plainly marked out. The union
leaders do not say so, but
actually they want a "polit-
ical" settlement. BY this is
meant a governmentally-im-
posed agreement. The union
strategistS think that in the
end the steel managers will
be compelled to accept it.
This is what has happened
many times before. The COM
panies will not, of course, ac-
cept responsibility for an in
f1ationary settlement. If, how
ever, the Government puts
them in a situation where
they cannot do anything but
yield, they will have to agree
to such a settlement and then
later raise prices.
This has been the history
in major strikes, and the
unions feel that their in
f1uence is such that the ad-
m ministration in power,
whether it is Republican or
Democratic, must conform to
the pattern.
The argument is made that
Congress will be urged 10
pass legislation providing for
compulsory arbitration If
there is no settlement. This
means, Of course, the break
down Of the collective bar
gaining tradition and the
introduction of more and
more compulsion in labor
management disputes. This
