Prolonged Steel Strike Serious

LEW Americans will find fault with ac-
ton on the part Of the Administration
to counter the adverse effects of a contln-
ued steel strike. The strike, which had only
recently begun to close down plants in var
ious sections of the country, reached stage
in the past few days where the national
economy was seriously involved.
One thing some people didn't realize was
that continuation of the strike we'll into
October would have altered the budget pic
ture for fiscal 1860 materially. Whereas
$9O,OOO,OOO surplus has been tentatively
predicted for the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1860, this estimate will have to be
changed if tax collections are adversely af-
fected by continued strike.
For this reason, and for many others, the
Administration limited through Labor Sec
rotary James Mitchell a month ago that &C
ton might be forthcoming in October if
progress toward a settlement were not
reached by that time. But the steel COM
panies and labor unions were so tightly
locked in their dispute, involving strong
views on economic theology, that progress
appeared negligible.
1t is to be hoped, of course, that it will
be settled. AS President Eisenhower has
said, this strike is actually test of the
free enterprise or free bargaining system.
If it cannot be settled SO that the outcome
will not do violence to the vital interests of
our country, then our system will have fail
ed
In past strikes and settlements the com
panies have merely passed on wage increas-
es to steel buyers and in the past year rec
ord profits were made. Thus it would seem

and the country went heavily into
debt.
Cannot Balance the Budget
We all know what happened to
Germany, Poland, and many other
European countries during World
War II. They completely defaulted
on their national debt and tn e
value Of their dollars" declined
greatly. The Swedish dollar" M
called a KRONA -- is now worth
only 10 cents.
Sweden has not balanced its bud
get since 1852. In fact, the budget
airy deficit has been in a decided
uptrend, and in the year 1858 the
deficit had risen to is billion
Kroner. or to the equivalent of
$3.50 million in American funds.
System Disc0uraging to Executives
All the above is disappointing to
me. especially as the Swedes do
not admit that they are operating
under SOcialistic Government
They talk only Of cooperative
government. 1t is true that tn e
Swedish people buy almost every
thing from the great "Co-opera-
tives" which operate most of the
factories and many of the farms
and other producers.
Then what is the trouble? I hear
no complaint of dishonesty; the
workers are faithful and there is
less leaning on shovels" than in
the United States. The difference is
that the able Swedish executives
leave the country. going largely to
the United States where they can
e earn much more. Because of
Sweden's economic system tn e
country cannot get efficient mana
gers; and this applies to the banks
and all offices which receive high

logical to expect the companies to contrib

ute something, and the unions to contribute
Unfortunately. little evidence of primary
concern with this national economic con-
sideraton has been observed. Yet the very
system which has made this country SO
strong and which has made democracy pow
erful and rich is being tested. 1t is a vital
test, in time when the communist system
is distinct challenge, and initiation real
danger to the free enterprise system. That
is why the great majority Of Americans
will support any reasonable move on the
part of the government to bring about a
sensible settlement Of the strike.

Letters To Editor
Who Pays?
Editor The Herald:

Editor The Herald:
The October issue Of the Ameri-
can Mercury carries an article
titled: Are we facing a wheat re-
bellion?" by Ken Kluberz. It opens
up by saying that the wage earners
are tired of the billion dollar boon
doggle paid for by their Withholding
tax to benefit wealthy wheat grow
ers.
He quoted Benson. Agriculture
Secretary. as saying: 1.-The eco
Monies of the farm problem are

Mr.. Kluberz classified the weat
growers as THE Cadillac class OF
agriculture They live in the most
expensive homes and commute to
the farm in late model Cadillacs.
A Pennsylvania editor reviews
payments Of millions Of dollars to
farmers for not raising wheat rang
ing from ten thousand dollars to in
dividual farmers, to one and a half
million dollars for corporations and
more than a billion dollars each
year to store the surplus.
Note the Cadillac farmers re-
ferred to here are from the wheat
belt around Hutchinson, Kansas, the
Wheat Capital, where one elevator
holds II 1000 900 bushels. The gov

on executives salaries is the great
handicap to the Swedish Co-opera-
tiveS. railroads, steamships, a n d
utilities.
Capitalistism Needs Competition
| am sorry to find this state of
affairs in Sweden. Government
operated businesses need the COM
petition of privately owned. fairly
taxed competition. But our pri-
vately owned companies also need
more competition as they become
bigger. This is especially true of
the "Dow-Jones Industrial" con-
Germs. which have recourse to I'M
limited capital. We further can get
the worlds best managers, since
we can pay very high salaries.
This. however, is not healthy. Our
nation needs small businesses"
just as church needs a Sunday
School. Yet our good executives
are being forced into the profess
sions and government jobs because
OF the very high taxes levied on
big business"
Not only does the Swedish sys-
tenn lack the income to attract
good managers, but Sweden is los
ing its best mechanics and artisans.
Khrushchev may see this danger
ahead for Russia. It may be his
reason for keeping his workers at
home and not letting them see how
much better they could live in the
United States than in Russia. This
may be one reason why the Com
munistic nations want to make the
whole world communistic- namely,
to prevent the moving of their best
people to . so-called capitalistic
country where business is privately
owned.

lions Of votes.
AS we see it, it would be good thing for
organized labor increasing it's power,
perhaps - if the unions were independent
and decided to support candidate only
after the platforms and nominations had
been made.
No doubt the unions would exert just as
much influence on the parties if they were
not considered Gin the bag" for the noml-
nees of one party. 1t may be impossible for
them to exert such independence, however,
because of the traditional attitudes Of the
parties 1t will be very difficult, for exam
pe for union leaders to get away from
supporting the Democratic party in the big
metropolitan centers, where the Democrats
are additionally the more liberal of the two
parties We are inclined to think that labor
unions will continue to support the Demo-
cratic party, but do believe that their own
good and the good of union members,
would be best served by more independence

BABSON REPORTS ON SWEDEN

Goteborg, October /. l had been
told by some of my Washington
friends who have heard Premier
Khrushchev that they forecast as
follows: Russia will gradually be-
come more conservative and the
United States will gradually become
more socialistic, until they meet
on middle ground, like Sweden. Z
With this in mind, l have looked
forward with great interest to visit
ing Sweden. where l now am.
Swedish People Have Security
Stockholm the capital = is a
beautiful city with wide streets and
handsome buildings It has large
Supermarkets with cooperative
arrangements. Railroads. utilities,
and telephones are mostly govern
ment owned. The people have old
age assistance, free medical care.
and many other things which give
them security" They seem happy,
contented, and not overworked.
They have only one complaint,
namely. that taxes are very
high"
Not only is real estate heavily
taxed, but excise taxes exist on
most products used by the people
from the cradle to the grave"
There also is an expensive bu-
reaucracy of govern m n en-
ployees. Even though these are
poorly paid. they have security"
Rather than compete in private
work or business. people seek these
government jobs. Until well after
World War l the heavy taxes were
cheerfully accepted. as Sweden was
very prosperous from 1912 to 1927.
But World War II was . different
story. Sweden then got little trade,
there was much unemployment.

In the past the Democratic nominee for
President has been a almost certain to receive
the vast majority Of organized labor's sup

labor unions called for support Of certain

necessarily follow suit
On the other hand, there are tremendous
