MJr A -.5: COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS The conference of the top figures doesn’t inspire me with confidence. Something is wrong, cleaily wrong, in our think ing. It'may be that I am entirely wrong, grossly, egregiously in error. If it be that the error is in my thinking, the world will suffer very little, for I am but a wee mite in a great world., Let us hope that it is I who anl all at sea and thresh ing about like a man overboard in the billowy deep. Let us see: Recently the Russians shot down.one of our planes. Was Russia in the wrong? If so, let her make resti tution, payment on the barrel head. Russia even admitted the facts and offered to pay half the loss. WHY HALF-? If at fault the total loss was Russia’s; if not at fault no part was due. But we have agreed to accept half. Remembering some of our diplomatic blunders the wonder is that we don’t offer to pay something to Russia!! Russia has not returned to us all the ships we lent her 12 years ago!! When we became brothers in arms with the Russians we “went all out,” as they say; we even lent or gave them the plates so they could (and did) print American money. As I understand, no one knows how many millions of dollars were issued by Russia. Nor do I understand thaLthe plates have been returned to us, or destroyed. Who had such authority as to authorize Russia to issue our money? Not even the Congress; but that was just part and parcel of the Roosevelt despotism. Behind that smile he was arrogating to himself unlimited power. Our government entered into agreements with Russia— such as the Yalta affair—solely on the word of Mr. Roose velt. No treaty, no agreement, recognized by our Constitu tion and laws. All those usurpations, those assumptions of power, have been accepted by the Congress and now have become precedents. Senator Bricker of Ohio has been trying for years to per suade Congress to submit to the states a proposed Amend ment to the Constitution that would conclusively prevent deals, agreements, understandings, with foreign nations, except by for mal treaty, as the Constitution provides. And the Senator would have us protect ourselves not only from the preident but from the Senate also; for if the Senate may bind our nation by any treaty, regardless of cherished rights guaranteed under the Constitution, then the president and the Senate can do away with the Constitution by making a treaty that subverts the Constitution. Do you think I’m dreaming; or having a nightmare; or wildly conjuring all sorts of scares? Not so, my brethren; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, together with two other justices, said that President Tru man had the right to seize the United States Steel company; and that the authority to seize it was given him by a treaty! No newspaperman, no radio man, cooked up that unsavory dish; it was so argued by the Attorney General of the U. S. and approved by th^e members of the Supreme Court. More recently, we have seen the Supreme Court upset the accepted law of 60 years because the justices had fallen under the hypnotic spell of a number of addle-pates whose literary output has no more validity as law than a circular extolling the merits of pink pills for pale people. We should do something if we would preserve the kind of government that made this great nation. I have no illusions about this; I see the persistent, the constant, encroachment by all the agencies of government; and we are acquiescent, lacking in the spunk and spirit of our fathers, for they would not have sold their birthright « for a mess of pottage.

Actually the total death rate for all purpoees per 1,000 is at lowest pohrt la history.

M R. HERBERT HOOVER, at age 81 is retiring again from public life, this time on his own In so doing the Commission which he headed filed its final reports and is now officially out of business When Mr. Hoover was retired from public office in 1932, he main tained that despite the election re ^ suits then, he was right. Today his Commission, The Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, filed re ports seeking to eliminate many departments and functions of the federal government established un der the New Deal of President Roosevelt, and the Fair Deal of President Truman. And today Mr. Hoover still thinks he is right in eliminating these governmental functions and returning to a so- called *'little" federal government, However there is a paradoxical significance there somewhere. The first Hoover Commission estab lished under President Truman waa charged with ferreting out waste and extravagance in. foe executive branch of the goverhment And tip Congress adopted more than 75% of the recommendations of this first Hoover commission. However the second x Hoover commission was given added power to suggest poli cy changes in the government, wherein Mr. Hoover claims the tax payers will save billions fit dollars. Here’s where the paradox comes. Congress is willing to eliminate waste and extravagance, and did so in accepting most of the recom mendations of the first Hoover Commission. However Congress seems to have little confidence in Mr. Hoover when it comes to estab lishing policy, add little, if any, of the recommendations of this sec ond commission likely will ever be adopted. Even the Eisenhower ad- ministration, while heaping praise on Mr. Hoover, has carefully re frained from making any solid commitments on the policy changes suggested by Mr. Hoover’s com mission. It can be said, however that despite the failure of Mr. Hoover’s own administration to stem the tide of deflation and de pression, and the tremendous rec ord of social and economic gains which have been made yince his time in the White House, he re mains consistent in his views and the principles in which he believes, popular or not President Eisenhower’s Commis sion on Intergovernmental Rela tions, which two years ago was in augurated with much fanfare with Pat Manion, Indiana Democrat turned conservative Republican, as chairman, has filed its report. It is a good report but it lets the states and foe states rights folks down with a dull thud. After Mani on was fired by President Eisen hower, for opposing foe Admini stration policy against foe Brickei amendment which would curtail the President's treaty making au thority, the President named Chi cagoan Meyer Kestnbaum chair man of the Bpard of the Commit tee for Economic Development, as chairman. Mr. Eisenhower in his congressional message setting up the Intergovernmental relations Commission, sought a sounder re lation between the states and the federal government But in his campaign he had promised to cut down big federal government and return to the states duties and re-^ sponsibilities taken over by the fed eral government and particularly to eliminate^ duplication in the fields of taxation.

Production per worker in this country is about tentimes that of the pre-machine period and about ten times jthat of the average worker in the rest of the world. Terrific demands are being made on our productive ma chine. Because of the cpld war, it has been found necessary to devote approximately 11 per cent of gross national product to military purposes. American industrial and technological know how was the chief contributing factor to the winning of two world wars, and upon it freedom-loving people every where depend as the principal bulwark against Communist aggression. It is imperative, therefore, that the nation’s productive machine be kept sound and strong as it is the greatest weapon in the struggle for survival. In addition, great domestic"claims are being made upon our productive economy. The American people demand stead ily rising living standards, with more goods and services as well as increased leisure to enjoy the fruits of labor. By 1965, it is estimated that the labor force will constitute a considerably smaller proportion of the total population than at present. This means that, if our living standards are to continue upward, the output per man-hour will have to be at a much higher level than now. Since compensation of employees constitutes roughly a- bout 90 percent of total costs, it must be reasonably flexible. Otherwise, the high pay of the few in particular industries may imperil the jobs of the many. With such great demands being made upon our produc tive economy, it is important that there be a better under standing of the underlying forces of productivity. While several factors play a part, the outstanding one is that the American worker is well equipped with power-driven ma chines and has at his command the equivalent of 36 electri cal slaves. These machines for the most part are financed by earnings ploughed back into business, and most of the re mainder comes from savings of the well-to-do. The largest increase in employment over the past four decades has been in those industries that have made the heaviest invest ment in plant and equipment. The leading ones in this cat egory are automobile manufacturing, petroleum refining, electrical machinery, chemicals, and rubber products. These same industries were also outstanding in outlays for re search. The record shows that the industries which have adopted modern facilities and applied scientific methods are wthout exception making the greatest* progress,' pay top wages, and are in the best position to meet changing con ditions. . ' ! The record shows that the industries which have adopted modern facilities and applied scientific methods are without exception making the greatest progress, pay top wages, and are in the best position to meet changing conditions. But the most important factor in productivity is manage ment. Foreign experts who come here to find out why the American system is so superior in effectiveness, almost with out exception attribute it to the predomin nt role played by American management, which is chosen on the basis of com petence to mobilize men, materials, and money into a profit able combination. In our dynamic economy, competition forces management to find and develop better products. In order that the underlying factors of productivity may function vigorously, the economic environment must favorable. Fruits of greater productivity should be divided among labor in the form of higher wages, management in the form of a fair return in its investment, and the consumer in the form of lower prices. For the past four decades or so, the gain in real wages has corresponded closely to the increase in productivity. In the long run, this must be so for the continuation of lour prosperity is dependent upon a broad distribution of income so that the output of mass production may be absorbed. Provided with a favorable political climate, and with strict adherence to fundamental principles, the forceful challenges to our productive machine can be met. Economic pressure will force the extension of automation in order to cut unit costs and to provide acceleration in productivity. As a consequence of huge expenditures in the post-war period for research and for plant and equipment, an increas ing volume and variety of goods are being brought within the income range of all classes.” moon and tt» •ton ht B» don not ~ Ms prajror was too sano that Christ ftt Qofosomsna. -Not mj will but Thlno bo After that prajor Ma mind was etear and ha could totak.

France and several other countries included in the NATO alliance. Dispatches from these countries reveal this trend, without a doubt, and the United States might as well face the de veloping issue. This issue may not come to a head for several months and it may either be circumvented or brought to the forefront even more quickly by foe Big Four meeting. Nevertheless*, the belief that Rus sia’s new rulers are actually in favor of peace is lessening the sense of need for NATO in several European countries. , This is reflected in foe recent election of Giovanni Gronchi to the Presidency in Italy. * Gronchi is a neutralist and has never been much in favor of Italy's commit ments to NATO. Debate in the Chamber of Depu ties in Paris recently has shpwn that Moscow's agreement to evacu ate Austria ham increased senti ment in France opposing foe re armament of Germany, which is another NATO matter. In addition, some of foe U. S. military officials in Italy say foe apparent willingness at foe Chris tian Democratic Party in Italy to ■ W .-ir ^ t;" ' / '• accept Left-Wing Socialists as working partners means that Italy's adherence to the principles of NATO are endangered. The Left-Wing Socialists have opposed Italy's ties with NATO. Since 1945, the United States has contributed more than $5,000,000,000 in grants, loans and other forms, to assist in the reconstruction of Italy. This expenditure has been made in order to strengthen Italy so that she can be a strong mem ber of the anti-Communist bloc of nations. The fact that the Christian Democrats seem to be moderating their views, concerning loyalty to Nato, and opposition to those op posed to it, might constitute an undermining of the anti-Communist orientation of Italy. From foe Tempe Daily News, Tern pc, Arizona: The United States of America were visualised si many republics, determined handling their own affairs looking to the Federal only for international policy guidance in matters of a strict national character. We have so far away from that principle that we have reache point where all powers begin end in e Federal government It's a sorry come-down for American heritage; and if it to sink any lower people begin getting up on their hind and speaking up for it."
