President Kennedy to issue execu-

in Federally aided housing and by
Federally supervised mortgage
lenders. When the President issued
the order in November, 1862, it did
not cover the latter category.

Steers Side of the Price Story

earlier stand against a 35-
hour work week had dis
pleased the labor unions. I
believe that he and Secretary
Goldberg felt that an in
crease in steel prices, follow
ing the early wage negotia-
tions, would be viewed as
evidence that the administra-
tons policies were adverse to
labor's interest"
Mr.. Blough insists tn at
the American consumer
would hardly have noticed
the price change, as 1t was
only three-tenths OF a cent
per pound. He notes that the
steel going into an electric
toaster would have cost only
- three cents more, in an auto
mobile only $10.64 more, and
In a washing machine only
an added 35 cents. But the
steel chairman points out it
would have helped to meet
wage and other costs, which
had risen by 6 per cent since
1858 without any increase in
prices.
Discussing the public in
terest," a phrase often used
at the time Of the steel con-
troversy; Mr.. Blough says 1t
is the duty of the Govern
ment to protect the lawful
interests of everybody and
Ito insure that force and CO.
ercion do not intrude upon
those interests, and to guar
antee that each individual
not intrude upon the lawful
interests of Others" He con-
cludes:
Viewed in this light, I do
not think 1t in the public in
terest in peacetime for any
one. including those Of presi-
dental rank, to substitute
his own action for the action
of the marketplace by trying
to set prices for any COM
petitive products"
Mr.. Blough emphasizes the
need for mutual confidence
between the Government and
industry, and points to the
demoralized spirit of busi-
ness and the heavy losses in
stock-market values that fol-
lowed the controversy.
All this was an experience
unique in American history,
and it is important that the
public should have "the other
side" in view of the heavy
publicity advantage enjoyed
by a President of the United
States.

The President is to 60 tc

for the delay including the visit

Fair play is always ex-
tolled as a virtue in a demo-
cratic system, but 1t is re-
grettably true that, in public
controversies, the American
people often get only one side
Of the story.
II, for instance, public
opinion polls were taken to-
day, a large number of those
interviewed would answer
that the steel companies in
April, 1862 were not acting
in good faith" with Presi-
ident Kennedy when steel
prices were raised. Mr.. Ken
nedy, as recently as Decem-
ber II, repeated his charge Of
bad faith and said he would
do everything he did last
April all over again.
But will the millions Of
people who heard those state
nNents over television and ra-
dio ever get the other side?
This week Roger Blough,
chairman of the U. S.
Steel Corp, in an inter-
view in Look magazine, tells
his side Of the story for
the first time. Some general
statements have been made
before by the steel company
official. but there has been
no such spirited and explicit
rebuttal. 1t is believed that
the reason for the new pro-
nouncement is the fact that,
on December II, the Presi-
dent-in a radio and televi-
sion interview over all three
national networks, before an
estimated 81 million viewers
made again the sam e
charge Of lack of good faith
which he made last April.
Mr.. Blough flatly con-
tradicts the Presidents
charges Of bad faith. He says
that. while he holds no ami
mostly toward President Ken
nedy. there are certain mis-
conceptions" he wants to re-
fute-among them, the fol-
owing:
THAT I purposely lulled
President Kennedy into the
false impression that U. S.
Steel would not raise prices,
and then raised them-which
is absolutely contrary to the
facts.

change each need" to
want and you get closer to
the truth. A need is a neces-
sity. A want is a desire. We
are being drowned in our
druthers.
And, simultaneously, we
are becoming rebellious about
paying the cost of what we
have. OF course, we haven't
been quite paying the cost.
The steady progression Of
the national debt is eloquent
testimony to our refusal to
meet our bills. But, as the
President correctly asserts
even though we have taxed
ourselves too little to meet
our expenditures we have
taxed ourselves too much.
The fires of enterprise are
getting smothered and the
steam gauge may soon be
dropping.
What is the way out?
You'd never guess - unless
you've been reading the pa
pers. Government officials,
business braintrusters, union
leaders have discovered a
marvellous escape hatch. You
don't have to cut spending,
What you do is cut taxes
and then the rapid growth
in the gross national product
will so expand the tax base
that the deficit will be over
come and we'll be put ashore
on the Happy Isles.
This is probably the finest
piece Of economic bluebird
twittering since FDR waved
his cigaret- holder airily and
dismissed the national debt
with the remark, After all,
we only owe it to ourselves" ."
In the meantime, the able
and busy people of Europe's
Common Market, whose war
wrecked industrial plant was
largely rebuilt by United
States funds and who have
cheerfully shucked off on
American taxpayers most of
the cost of their common
defense, are now beginning
to whip the pants off us in
many fields of competition.
Their steel makers blow oxy-
gen into their converters
while we still blow air. Their
featherbedding problems are
insignificant. Their cur
rencies grow harder while
ours grows softer.
But, so far, we've had a
pretty good ride down the
Niagara River. In spite of
the squabbling and grabbing
the guzzling and gobbling
have been good.

derful sign over the ticket

But it has attempted to
bring its moral power to bear,
especially in the Nicaraguan

to Managua, the Nicaraguan
capital. deploring the Somoza
governments refusal to allow
the commission to hold hear

displeasure with the rugged

was a calculated affront.
Again, this is completely op-
posite to the truth.
THAT u. S. Steel did not
need a price rise-entirely
untrue-and that our move
had political overtones -
equally untrue"
Mr.. Blough says the price
increase would not have hurt
and, indeed, would have
helped the American econ
omy. He adds:
And I am convinced that
pricing by political pressure,
rather than pricing by the
forces exerted in a free COM
petitive market, weakens the
industrial strength upon
which Americas very survival
may depend in time of crisis. :"
Mr.. Blough recalls that,
when the President tele-
phoned the negotiators on
both sides on the last day
Of March. congratulating
them on the contract, Mr..
Kennedy included this re-
mark: 1T is obviously nom
inflationary and should pro-
vide a solid base for con-
tinued price stability"
The u. S. Steel chairman
says this remark troubled
him at the time, since he had
repeatedly told the President
that cost increases were
basically the cause of this
Nations recent initiation and
that a price rise was long
overdue U. S. Steel" Mr..
Blough recalls that he had
been quoted in newspapers
and magazines in the same
vein on several occasions be-
fore last April.
Mr.. Blough declares that
Mr.. Kennedy nevertheless
made what was probably
the strongest attack on a
private industry ever made
by a President" The steel
chairman then adds:
I'm retrospect, I believe
that at least part Of Presi-
dent Kennedy's vehement
public reaction to the news
Of steels price increase was
not really because he ex-
pected a Nationwide infla-

Fidel Castro or no Fidel
Castro. the United States still
must decide how to deal with
other relationships remaining
In the Western Hemisphere.
And like his predecessors,
President Kennedy is having to
face up to an agonizing dilem-
ma in this respect.
On the one hand, declared
United States policy is to pro-
mote representative democracy
south Of the border. The CEN
trail theme Of the Alliance fol-
Progress is that economic and
social progress can come and
come rapidly within a frame
work of democratic institutions.
But on the other hand, the
stuff for building this frame
work is absent or insufficient
in parts of Latin America
Severe shortage of human and
material resources makes much
Of the talk about representative
democracy sound like beautiful
noise.
Three DictatOrships
Three relationships Of the
old-fashioned, well-established
type are still entrenched in
Latin America-in Haiti, Mic
aragua and Paraguay. Together
they form only a minute part
Of the people and territory Of
the area. In all of them, illit-
eracy, poverty and a tradition
OF primitive government are
overwhelming.

Many observers in this capt.
tai believe the Kennedy admin
istration is now approaching
the moment of truth" in its
policy on dictatorship. Urgent
decisions on all three countries
can no longer be ducked, they
say.
For one thing. two Of the
countries - Nicaragua and
Paraguay-are going through
the periodic ritual Of holding
mock elections next month. In
each the continuance OF the
present regime in power is a
foregone conclusion.
On February 8, Nicara2uans
will be asked to cast woes for
one candidate. Rene Schick,
former Foreign Minister and
candidate of the Somoza
dynasty, which has ruled this
small Central American country
for most of this century.
Single Party Vote
On the following Sunday,
February 10, Paraguayans at
the other end of South America
will elect a single-party con-
gress and acclaim the con-
tinued rule Of Gen. Alfredo
StroeSsner.
In both countries, opposition
parties have refused to take
part in the elections. In both
countries. opposition leaders
have produced evidence of
rigged election machinery, in
timidation, and fraud.
Much Of this evidence has
been presented to the Inter-
American Commission on HUI
