TONS overr iding Gaitskell, the Con-

produce an immediate crisis.
Nevertheless, the fact that senti-
ment is so strong within the Labor
Party for a break in the T. S. alliance,
and renouncing the H-bomb, is disturb
ing.
Britain and Germany are the strong
est U. S. allies in Europe, and any de-
lection, or weakening of our ties with
either would constitute a major blow
to the forces of the democracies. The

Great Lyricist Gone

Vice President about consider
able support for him here. urg-
ing him not to overlook the
Democratic nature Of it. He
asked me to send him more of
my columns on this theme and
I have been doing so. Not until
July IA last. just before the con-
ventiOns. did I hear anything
more from him. Then came an
exceptionally cordial letter well
beyond the call of political duty.
The incident suggested that he
had the South much in mind and
hope - and heart - as the con
vention began. that this letter
was one of many in build-up of
Southern lines.
BUT WHEN SEN TOR
JOHNSON accepted the Demo
cratic nomination for Vice Presi-
dent. Mr. Nixon had to enter
his own convention with swift
ly changed strategy based on
presumption that his Southern
chances were gone. He made
the Treaty Of Fifth Avenue,
joined Rockefeller on a civil
rights plank almost as bad as
the Democratic.
But double surprise! LBJ
didn't take. He was no magnet
any more. less even than Ke-
fauver and Sparkman. Southern
ers who had coaxed themselves
into enthusiasm for him when
he seemed their only chance
couldn't see him as Kennedy's
over-seer. They began remem-
bering how they had called him
traitor for letting civil rights
bill through. And when. to show

mentS however small they
may be will vote the Republi-
can ticket to protect the value of
the dollar. On the other hand,
those who do not own any home
and have no savings - eSpeal-
ally those who owe considerable
amounts on installments for auto
mobiles. furniture. etc.. or even
those who have large long-term
home mortgages - will vote the
Democratic ticket to depreciate
the value of the dollar.
The most important question to
me is how long this gimme"
political competition can con-
tinue. Certainly this trend to the
left found in all countries while
travelling about Europe. How
ever. 1t certainly cannot last in
definitely although l would not
now predict whether World War
III would hasten 1t or delay 1t.
1t may continue during the next
two or three presidential cam
paigns, until all parties see that
our country is reaching a dam
gerous economic precipice. The
result may be the appointment
OF dictator, or at least of a
coalition government. Otherwise,
we could be headed toward some
form Of Communism. My grand
children feel that Russia may
gradually move further to the
right with each generation while
the United States may go further
to the left with each generation,
until the United Nations becomes.

the economic causes of war.

Party Platforms
1t is an old saying, 1.-THE plat
form of a political party is like
the platform of a street car of
use only to get in on Origi-
nally. the Republican platform
was considerably more conserva7
tive than the Democratic plat
form, but at the earnest solicit
tation of Governor Rockefeller!
the Republican platform was
made much more liberal. l doubt
if this will lose Mr.. Nixon any of
the old hard shell" Republicans,
and it should secure for him
many independent votes. Howl
ever. we may now forget plat
forms.
The real difference between
the, two candidates will be shown
by the speeches they make dur+
ing the coming two months. It
now looks as if each will try to
Guido the other in the "give-a-
way campaign. where both the
liberals and conservatives offer
sugar-coated promises to win the
great independent voters who
may determine the election on
November 8. l doubt if the rel
ligious question will be a real
factor. The Florida vote will del
pend upon what the respective
candidates promise to do with
the Cuban situation.

Pricing Out Of Mark ct

THE nations largest steel producer,
I. 5. Steel, has announced greatly
reduced profits for the second quarter
of 1860
In addition to announcing reduced
earnings, the chairman of the board of
the largest steel company in the country
announced that total steel production
in 1860 would be far below earlier ex-
pectations. He forecast lower product
ion for the third quarter Of 1860 than
was realized in the second quarter
This means that I. S. steel produc-
ton in 1860 will be far below that in
1859. The {. S. steel industry is cur
rently operating at about fifty percent
of capacity while the Russian steel
industry is increasing it's output year
by year.
This is explained, by steel officials,
by the claim that total U. S. steel ca
paclty is greater than the average
needs of the nation. Some believe, how
ever. that an economy which was ex-
panding faster than our economy has
been expanding in the past eight years
would keep the steel industry operating
at capacity, and even perhaps force it
to increase its capacity.
Also, a cause for the decreased de-
mand for steel is the inflationary rise
in prices which has occurred in the last
fifteen years, which has resulted in
the price of United States steel being
far higher than steel from many other
nations. Thus, in granting higher
wages, and then in increasing the price
of steel the steel companies have, in
effect, priced their product out of the
