Tariff Battle Looms
AS 1861 ends Americans are
choosing up sides for one of the
biggest tariff battles in years.
The President wants more
power to cut tariffs as a way
to bargain in Americas con-
test with trading blocs around
the world. especially the fast
growing one in Western Europe.
Many United States business
men want more tariff protec-
tion, not less to ward off the
flow of foreign goods.
And many industries have
their own domestic problems.
Examples are the airlines and
railroads. which are sharing
very little in the general pros
perity at year end.
But for most the 1861 New
Years Eve is a lot happier than
was the 1861 New Years Day.
Industrial production has
climbed to a record in the
final months of the year. Steel
mills report an influx of orders
that keeps them a lot buster
than in the first half of the
year.
A sharp rise in new car sales
puts both the dealers and the
makers squarely in the ranks of
the optimists again. It's also
good news for a lot of auto
workers, who will be working
longer weeks at higher wage
scales.
Construction High
Construction workers, as a
whole, should be happy, along
with building firms and the
many companies that turn out
building materials and furnish
ings.
The Commerce Department
estimates the value of new con-
struction put n place in 1861
at a new record of $57.5 bill
lion. This would be 3 per cent
above last year, and would top
the previous record in 1859
by 2 per cent.
The biggest gamer was public
constructions, up Z per cent
over 1860. Home building was
declining at years end, but
not as much as usual in the
bad weather season.
And the average factory
workers. whoever he may be,
should be in a mood to cele-
brate. The Labor Department
says his take-home pay was
the highest in history in No
vember, while the cost of liv-
! ing was slipping a trifle.

MOST MENTIONED Friends
or enemies or both seem determined
that Bert Bennett shall be denoted
or promoted from his post as
chairman of the Democratic Party
in North Carolina.
| Within the past month he has
been mentioned for: us. Senator;
Lieutenant-Go Governor; and State
Senator. They say he, too, is am
bilious for political office because
he now accepts speaking engage
ments whereas here awhile back he
'eschewed them. He made a rousing
speech the other day praising Gov
ernor Terry Sanford. Hardly news,
one would note in passing-but it
made headlines.
WAIT! =. While craftsmanship of
the Party in this State has on oc-
casion led to elective office, it
frequently comes in a roundabout
manner. The chairman is appointed
to a vacancy by the Governor-and
then runs for reelection.
We have had former chairmen
go to the State Supreme Court, to
the u. S. Senate, to Congress, and
to one or two other posts via this
route. But there is just nothing
available at this particular time
suitable to, Businessman Benefits
talents. The old time-honored post
of chairman of the State Highway
Commission, mountaineering
plum to some former Party chair
men, has been filled. There is just
nothing Of great interest left
around here. Bert Bennett obvious
| ly desires elective position.
But he must wait. We predict he
will go to Congress-either to the
Senate or the House-but only
through appointment; not by cleo
ton.
