Some Fear Of Autocrotic Controls
OF Wages and Prices Reported

union leaders are not facing
up to their responsibility in
a long-range sense. and are
doing the very things that
will cause unemployment to
grow and recessions to recur.
Only this week a United
Press International dispatch
from Cleveland reports a de-
velopment which has more
significance as to what's
coming in America next
year-possibly another re-
ceSsion in the autumn of
1962-than any other single
economic factor. 1t reads as
follows:
1.-The Nations steel pro-
ducers, looking ahead to
June 80, 1862. when labor
contracts expire, already have
begun stockpiling,' Steel
magazine said today. Inven-
tories will be about 20 million
tons-more than a three
months supply-by the time
the pacts expire. The build
up, which will about double
present inventories, will be
less than 1885.
The magazine said the
buildup already is underway.
1t noted inventories were
about 100000 tons higher at
the end Of October than at
the start of the month"
This. is exactly what hap
pened early in 1859 just be-
fore the 115-day steel strike
that began on July Is and
ran until November Z, when
it was ended by a Taft-Hart-
ley injunction. A convulsion
of the whole economy
called a recession" - fol-
lowed and as yet there has
not been a complete recovery.
Why is it that everybody
waits until just a few days
before a contract expires be-
fore trying to bring about a
settlement? Why shouldn't
the steel problem be tackled
now, instead of next June?
One answer is that labor de-
ponds on a process Of ex-
tortion. 1t waits until the
danger of q strike is close at
hand, then holds the threat
of a big financial loss above
the heads of the companies.
But these companies today
are not owned by just a few
men. They are the property
Of millions Of stockholders,

Urge to CIobber the Aggressive Enemy
Laid to Isolotionists and Reoctionories

Where would we be If the
policies SO loudly and glibly
urged by the extreme political
right in this country were in
effect?
Undersecretary of State
Chester Bowles has been
speaking on this subject.
We would now be fighting
a minimum of three wars
in Laos, Germany and Cuba.
The fatal effect of warfare
on three such widely sep
arated fronts would be in
escapable. That other small
wars" requiring conventional
armies, naval and air support,
would have followed in Latin
America also is unquestioned.
Secondly, we would be out
of the United Nations and
without allies.
There is a national frustra-
ton which causes some per-
sons to proclaim, and sup
port, such untenable and dis
aStrous policies. Some Of our
military suffer from it. They
say, out of Impotence, that
since we have the power to
clobber the Chinese, we
should proceed to do so. I'M
patience is the label Of this
school Of isolationist thought.
This Illustration" says
Secretary Bowles. sis COM
pounded by the fact that in
the long years in which we
we're isolated from world af-
fairs we were able to handle
a vast number OF domestic
questions in our stride. We
had come to regard problems
as situations to be solved, not
as situations to be lived with.

What do businessmen talk
about when they get together
nowadays? Mostly about the
short-range future, but lately
a few Of them have begun to
have serious doubts about the
long-range outlook for Amer
lea. Some of them privately
express fears that an auto
cratic exercise by Govern
ment of the power to control
wages and prices is inevitable
and businessmen dread this.
If 1t happens for a prolonged
period. they foresee the ma
.tional growth impaired and q
gradual deterioration Of the
whole system Of free enter
prise.
Everyone knows, of course,
that the railroads are in trou-
ble-due to mishandling by
Government regulatory bodies
and a narrowing of their
opportunities to compete with
other forms of transportation.
Now the steel industry is be-
ginning to be worried lest it
go the way Of the railroads.

an impairment of the Compel
tive spirit as a consequence
of excessive regulation by the
Government.
Current discussions cannot
be oversimplified merely by
referring to the Kennedy ad-
ministration as ANTITRUST

growing sympathy for the
President and a fear that he
may find himself helpless for

the whole question can best

land the sooner we in bust
ness accept that fact, the
more progress we will make
toward a solution of the real
