C0MMENTS-0N MEN AND THINGS Well, now, what think youpf itiis?: We, the coal people # of the United States, are shipping coal to Great Britain! . Riding on, the train from London to Edinburg, Scotland, I passed through Newcastle. Do you recall the old saying: "That is like carrying coal to Newcastle". Newcastle was a great center of coal and Great Britain was the great . producer and exporter of coal. * Today we are shipping coal to Britain and the Welsh miners are alarmed and loud in protest! Ponder this account: "A move by a majjor British steel maker to impo. i coal from the U. S. is meeting strong resistance from South * Wales coal miners and could spark a labor-industry storm. Steel Company of Wales said it has asked foi* an import licfensfe ’because it can buy Virginia coal at $2.24 to $2.80 a ton cheaper than it can buy local Welsh-mined coal. The company said that* figure takes into account shipping costs. . ' 0 The plan will be. bitterly opposed by delegates repre» senting some 80,600 South Wales miners. The miners con sider the move a threat to’their jobs. However, \inless the British Board of Trade reverses its policy ’tiie import license probably will , not be issued. ‘Normally, import licenses are not granted for coal\ a Board of Trade official said. 'However, there will have to be consultations with the Ministry of Power to see whether govern- • ment policy in this matter is to be changed’. The only exceptions to the Board of 4Trade policy have come • in times of great domestic coal shortages, the official said, and currently therS is. a surplus of coal in the South Wales area. Officials of Steel Company o f Wales declined to say how much American coal they hoped to im port, hut they indicated it would be only a small portion cf the two snlllion tons the company uses yearly. Sir Charles Goodever, president * of the Iron and Steel Institute of Britain, said the British Steel In- . dustry for some time has been considering ways to overcome ris ing domestic coal costs* and has concluded there is no alternative to importation. If the Steel Company of Wales received official approval of the plan, it is likely other British steel makers would make similar iinport requests. The industry around 25 million tons of coal an- nually, but steel industry sources estimate the annual coal imports 8y the entire steel industry would be one million to two million tons. It is understood the main prob- •lem is the high cost of a certain * grade of coal which is blended in low proportion with cheaper coals in the steel making process. The imports apparently would be of this higher grade cosfl. British steel makers complain other European steel companies have an advantage in that they ,buy American jcoal at an average of |4,?n a ton below current British prices.* Last year, Italy imported • 4,750,000 tons ff coal from the •U., S., Germany bought 4,000,000 tons and France purchased 378,— _ 000 tons.” I tkq Anderson Council but that it "Mine mechanization ’ probably | be sent to the State Council for tion. In the Pittsburg region, for instance, quality seams of metal lurgical-grade coal as thick as a man is tall can be followed under ground for miles on a fairly even- level .easing the task of laying track, moving men and heavy equipment and hauling out the coal. By contrast, some European mines are more, noted for their highly pitched, twisting seams, which increase the difficulty of tracking the coal and getting it out. 8c*ne British mines even ex tend under the ocean.” Did you take note of the Amer ican pay scale? $24.25 a day! Quite a tidy wage, eh ? ? There is a valuable point we might make: An American miner makes so much because he prcv- d’^es so much; and he produces sc much because of the heavy in vestment in the equipment he uses. Who supplies or provides the equipment? The owners of the mine: that is the American plan: the owners provide equipment and the workers increase production and receive increased wages!! That* made America rich and great. Our political orators do not build a rich economy; it is the businessmen using billions of dollars of investee^ savings of mil lions of people, big people, little people, rich people, and others of small means. Socialism and Communism of fer us nothing enduring. An outstanding citizen who thinks and speaks courageously sends me some * comments on Teachers’ Pay and Communism. As I understand, the Citizens Council of Anderson has endorsed the ideas embodied in the follow ing study, which is* not harsh, but timely. We need the Spirit of 1776 and h revival of real Amer icanism. * By one means or ano ther our nation ^ being divided. “The following study was pre pared for a resolution after con siderable thought and months of study, not only for adoption .by 4]ualifies as the key reason for U. S.' producers’ successful inva sion of world markets. And . this * despite th*e fact that American- dopted ' by our State Legislature. miners get $24.25 a day, enjoying what the United Mine Workers fit America boasts is ‘the highest hourly wage of any industrial worker in the world.’ While European miners may draw lower pay, they mine much less coal—2, 3, 4 or 5 toffs per iffipyi per day, in some instances. * In the U. S. a miner turned out an average 2.56 tons a day in 1696, according to Thomas Kennedy, currently president of * the UMW. By 19$0, this figure was 5.06 tons and 20 years later it was 6.77 tons a day. ‘By 1960 output per man day in the bituminous mines in creased to over 12 tons a day, or roughly twice as much as ten years .previously,’ Mr. Kennedy V has noted. . ] At least one highly mechanized mine claims its daily output per man’ runs around, 30 tong, other coal men # note. . # The' formation of ’the mines, as well as labor-management will ingness to work together on the f>rob^m, has helped the mechan- ization of coal mining* in this na- adoption; and that the proper forces be brought into action to have the matter immediately a- Likewise—that tha proper forces be activated to have this passed on to the Congress of the United Stat^, to be acted upon imme diately. In connection • therewith that suitable laws be immediately en acted if they do not already exist, and that such laws not only be en-. acted if necess'ary but vigorously enforced—not for the control of Communism in this country but for the absolute, complete and permanent eradication in every shape or form; and wherever it is found COMMUNISM must be eradicated fropi this -country NOW if we expect to exist as the GREAT UNITED STATES of our forefathers. As things stand to day, if our land isn’t completely freed of every vestige of commun ism, then within ten years ‘Com munism will wash our great land free* of every vestige of American ism. As it is we are just 25 or 35 years too laje taking steps to preserve our own independence. For 25 or 35 years we have lis tened to the very quintessence of ‘malarky’ to thfe effect that ‘If you attempt to drive them out, you thjive them undercover—and they would be more dangerous.’ Russia and her Communism have taken half the world; and most of the other half is just about ready to be forced into step with this curse which was spawned and nur tured in diabolic malevolence and forced. down the throats of the largest part of the world today by coercion, murder, brigandage, trickery and the most* brazen type of lying and deception. The matter of coexistence in the world with Russia and Commun ism is a sham and a sneer, and it is just as possible as the % co existence of a young rabbit in the den of a wolf. And the matter of toleration of a Communist party or «ny Communist in this coun try is shocking to believe. Why should this country tolerate any PARTY or any group of people— or, for that matter, any single individual whose prime purpose is to overthrow, this government. You read the report of Edgar Hoover of the F.B.I. to the effect that the Communists are activat ing a tremendous plan to have the minds of our youth thordughly indoctrinated in the Communists pijecepts. There is evidence that they have already indoctrinated a sizable percentage of our teach ers and preachers. And only re cently from the Communist head quarters in America, comes word that sthey will have candidates in the next general election. The latest piece -of ‘sop’ from Russia is that Russia has freed two fliers ' who were unlawfully shot down last July. Four of the crew were killed. In the fifst place, according to the informa tion we get backdiotne, they were unlawfully shot down. If that be the case, they were certainly ud* lawfully held in prison. Mark you- four of these fine young officers were killed. But now, I dare say, all of our appeasers will be thrill ed beyond measure and either feel or exclaim, ‘Isn’t that wonderful/ in Khrucshehev!’ The world must take time for sensible thought and realize there is not enough room in this world for this putrid mass of Godless, Christless, religious less murderer. We ’ therefore resolve that no longer shoultj the matter be put off of eliminating the- Commun ist party and every person who is a Communist—from this country, and to eliminate individual Com munists as you would any other criminal plotting and planning to overthrow this government. The courts will of course in sist upon a defendant being guil ty of an overt* act. The ipere membership and cooperation, with others in plannim our overthrow should be considered an t overt act. If you wait until they all commit what, in the court’s opinion is an overt act—there’ll be no courts, there’ll be no country to save. If the'Communists in this coun try, who masquerade as citizens of this country, have not commit ted treason against this country, then I don’t know the difference between a tumble-bug and the Queen of Sheba. According to old English law, treason is an overt act of betray al, treachery, or breach of alle giance or obedience toward the sovereign or ‘government; or a Newberrian Is Dedicated To * • Miss Paysirtger .

Mark you, that in old English law ’is considered an overt act. There fore any member of the Commun ist Party—and to be such a mem ber, he has to subscribe by oath of allegiance to things the Com munist Party stands for, that is an OVERT AC.T. We submit that there is abun dance of evidence in the program of the Communis^ Party and in the oath subscribed by its mem bers to justify criminal indict ment on the grounds of compul sory sedition and treason. In the matter of treason there is. a dif ference of opinion among man^ as to what actually .constitutes an overt act. Many brilliant legal minds maintain that .any act or series of acts calculated to dis rupt a country is an overt act. To rely on the old definition of overt act meaning an actual mil itary attack on Jthe country is danger of irreparable damage to this country.”.

WILSON HARDER There are some observers who feel that trtie sovietization will be accomplished in, the United States long before it is achieved in Russia. * * * This quite provocative stRte- medt requires some background explanations. Under the true .Soviet sys tem, It is vis ualized that in time the workers will own alt busi ness and in dustry. Theo retically, the Russian gov ernment is at present only running the c. W. Hardtr Russian business system until such time as the workers can take bver the operation of everything. Of course, it # is quite, unlikely their politicians will ever give up the economic power they now hold. * * *• However, in America, the trend is quite possibly moving quite rapidly in that direction. * * ** During the winter season re cently hi Miami, the nation’s most powerful labor leaders released a statement that they are contemplating going into the home mortgage business to perk up home building with a cool billion dollars put out at low.er than prevailing interest rates in mortgages. * * * . A billio*i dollars is ^ lot of money. Less than 20 banks in the entire nation have as much as a billion in total assets. * * * Bnt labor unions, aided by enforced payments of dues plus huge sums paid into pen sion and welfare funds, are todajr a major financial power and growing daily. © National Federation of Independent BttflMM And.unlike banks, insurance | companies, et al, these funds are subject to no regulation. * * * Thus, it is no idle threat that the unions can enter the home mortgage, field at ent rate in terest rates. It is only reason able to expect that they will enter into many fields of busi ness, banking, manufacturing, retailing, transportation. It is not inconceivable that in due time, entire industries will be owned by the unions. For after all, in an era when financipg is‘important in busi ness, so one can finance so eas ily, or with no expense. • .* * * Yet the worker in a unionized plant where the dues are taken out of his paycheck actually has little to say, from a practi cal standpoint, how much those dues should be, has no control 6f the money. Neither does he have any control .over vast sums paid in, usually by the employer, to union’s so called welfare and pension funds. ♦ * * There fyis been amasseck and there continues to grow, vast sums of interest free. capital practically uncontrolled. * * ♦ ♦ Here then, are theygreat pow erhouses of finance Tit is quite possible that some of the huge companies who complaisantly agreed to take t|pe dnes money out of their workers checks and turn them over to. the union are financing in fact their ovta destruction. And every payday throughont the land, more and more money pours into these immense storas of capital. Thus Jn a limited period of time there could come in affect the system that Russiap politicians have only talked about . .* . the ownership of the tools of pro- ductipn by labor. .

The pow ers vested in the National Gov ernment were, in fact, not dele gated to the National Government as a whole, hut specifically to the Congress. The Relegations of pow er appear ih Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution which begins “The Congress shall have the power . . .”. There was good rea son for vesting the preponderance of power* in the Congress, for of the three branches, the Congress is most broadly representative of and most responsive to the people. . IN RECENT YEARS there has been a pronounced trend for the power of the National Gov- ernment to shift from the Congress to the other two branches. So *mnqh power has been shift ed to the Exec utive Branch, either by usur ps tfon or delegation, that we are fast approaching a government by bureaucracy. THE PRESSURES for in creased power ip. the Executive Branch concentrate on each se rious problem of government aftd seek to use complexity as an ex cuse and reason to concentrate power in the Executive Branch. The power over the defense forces has thus been largely concen trated in the Executive. Despite the specific delegation of the con trol of foreign trade and tariffs to the Congress, this authority is now for all practical intents and purposes delegated to the Exec utive. • CURRENTLY THERE are forces seeking to utilize the com plexities of the agricultural sur pluses in jthe U.S. to transfer the control of agricultural programs from the Congress to the Presi- cjpnt and the Secretary of Agri culture, Orville Freeman. These pressures find form in the Omni bus Farm Program proposed by the Administration.* THE ADMINISTRATION’S farm bill does not propose to establish any new farm programs in and of itself. It does propose that the power to initiate new programs be delegated to the Sec retary of Agriculture and the President. . UNDER THE BILL, the Secre tary, after appointing a National Advisory Committee to consult with him, could formulate a pro gram for any agricultural com modities, including livestock and poultry, which, upon approval by the President, would be trans mitted to the Congress. Unless one House of the Congress, with in 60 days thereafter passes by majority vote a resolution of dis approval, the program wonld go into effect; except when a pro gram contains marketing quotas and jharketing orders, the pro ducers would have to approve by a 2/3 vote in a referendum. A referendum offers little hope as a safeguard, foy experience proves that all too often the alternative to approval pf a proposed new program is too penal in nature to be in fact seriously considered as a “choice.” * Under this proposal the Congress could make no change in the program formulated by the Secretary of Agriculture, but would be left with the narrow choice of accepting it in its entire-’ ty or taking the alternative ac tion required to veto it. THE AGRICULTURE problem is serious and the Congress has grappled indecisively with the problem without makftig any sub stantial improvement in the situ ation. The responsibility of the Congress to face the issue and come up with a practical solution cannot’ be fulfilled, however, by passing the back to the bureauc racy of the Executive Branch; for by delegating this .responsibility to bureaucracy, the Congress would also delegate broad powers constitutionally vested in the Con gress. ON SUCH SHIFTS of power .furthes away from the people are authoritarian and absolute gov ernments built. Complex problems, as difficult of (solution by consti tutional means as they may be, do not justify a trend toward dic tatorship.
