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.

A—Reason for continually higher highway deaths Is the same as toi
continually higher death totals for all reasons /. • there are more
people and more people driving ears. Actually the total death rate
for all purpoees per 1,000 is at lowest pohrt la history. At the same
time the American Automobile Associations says die highway acci

driven—the lowest point over recorded.

A—Yes. Actually primary impact at the proposed increase from 75# to

in agriculture. In industrial areas minimum wage is already gen

passed on to the former by rural services and industries in addi

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.

“America’s economic progress is based upon productivity.
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.”

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
From the Cedar Rapids Tribune,
Cedar Rapids, Iowa: The sudden
agreement by Soviet Russia to
withdraw its troops from Austria
has made an unmistakable impres
sion in Italy. 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."
