A BIPARTISAN PROBLEM

+ The platforms of both the parties contain
transportation planks. That of the Demo-
Gratis pledges a national policy which would
permit the coordination and moderniza-
tion" of all forms of transportation, and also
says, that, "The nations railroads are in par
ticular need of freedom from burdensome
regulation to enable them to compete effec-
lively with other forms of transportation" !"
That of the Republicans urges "competi-
tive and integrated" service by the different
modes of transportation, and also calls for
"minima regulation" and for tax reforms
providing incentive depreciation" to stim-
ulate modernization investments.
These planks are specific in principle if
not in detail. They certainly indicate that
both the political parties are pretty much in
agreement as to what is wrong with trans
portation law and policy, and what needs to
be done. And they point to problems that
urgently require adequate solutions without
avoidable delay.
We are still following horse and buggy
concepts of transportation regulation in this
electronic age-concepts which, in large mea-
sure, came into being when railroads had a
virtual monopoly of commercial haulage. OBJ
solete and destructive tax and depreciation
policies are barriers to the kind of transpor
tation progress this country not only wants
but needs.
Both parties have gone on record with
words. Those words must be reflected in
deeds.

SHORT END OF THE STICK

= The Russian leaders boast endlessly of
their nations material progress-and of
their plans to overtake and pass the United
States. But this progress, if it exists, GER
tainly isn't filtering down to the Russian
masses.
The National Industrial Conference
Board has issued survey showing the work
time the typical worker must put in to buy
consumer items in New York and Moscow.
Examples: In Moscow it takes an hour and
A minutes to buy pound of sugar-in New
York three minutes. In Moscow it takes Is
hours to buy mans cotton shirt-in New
York Sc minutes. In Moscow it takes 275
hours to buy mans wool suit-in New York
% hours.
So it goes, all the way down the list of
staple food, clothing and other necessary
items. The figures are based on average earn
ing in manufacturing industry, and the Mos
COW prices are based on information appear
ing in the Soviet press.
This casts an interesting light on Russian
methods of production and distribution-as
well as the philosophy back of the Russian
economic system. Production is not based
on consumer wants and demands-it is based
on what the dictators decide. Distribution,
almost all of which is through, state-owned
stores, is non-competitive and the prices
along with quantity and quality are estab-
lished by fiat. The consumer, aside from the
small elite group, gets the short end of the
stick.

FACING UP TO FACTS

Ever since the federal wage-hour law was
passed, in the depression days, certain SER
vice industries, retailing among them, have
been exempt. Senator Holland led the fight
for the retail exemption when it was threat
ened in 1949 and was successful And he is
leading that fight again, in opposing propos-
ais which would bring retailing within the
scope of the law.
Senator Holland, needless to say, is not
against higher wages. Neither are legions of
other people who favor keeping the exemp-
tion intact. But they face up to an inescap-
able set of facts.
One is that retailing is a local business,
which must adapt itself to widely differing
local needs, customs and standards. An out
let of the biggest national chain must still
compete at the local level.
Another is that retailing has room for
marginal and part-time workers, including
teenagers and housewives, whose value is
limited. If wages are artifcally forced up
to where they pass that value, retailers will
have no choice save to reduce employment of
this nature to the maximum degree.
Another is that elimination of the retail
exemption, like an increase in the minimum
wage, would be infationary.
Senator Holland deserves public as we'll
as legislative support in his fight.
