Z Dean Manion Any impression that the President or anyone else mig-ht have had that there was such an agreement should have been corrected by the Attorney General, Mr. Robert Kennedy. In February, before negotiations had reached any stage of com pletion, the U. S. Steel company had announced that if any addi tional cost occurred, the company would have to raise the price of steel or operate at a loss. Those who heard the President on television were impressed by ’ , ~ ,, his own persona! contempt for the our government now fights the ., pursujt of private profit3 .>. w„ : THE ! MANION : FORUM > Some weeks ago, I stated that private property, private enter prise for profit system more en ergetically than it fights Com munism. Some people found this hard to believe until the Presi dent pounced upon the steel com panies. The President has never spoken so harshly about Castro or Khrushchev as he did about a “tiny handful of steel executives whose pursuit of private power and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibility.” But it was his deeds rather than his words that pointed up the big reservoir of power over the per sons and property of the people of this country that a President may now tap and use at his pleasure, or, as in the steel price case, at his displeasure. The President’s wrath at U. S. Steel’s sudden notice of the steel price increase can be blamed upon the misleading blandishments of his own ubiquitous press agents. Months ago the White House spoke out against any rise in steel prices and let it be known that it would move fast if a deadlock in wage negotiations threatened another steel strike this summer. Persistently prodded by govern ment, the union and industry ne gotiators came to a basic agree ment on a new contract by the end of March. Under this contract workers will get an additional 10c an hour, not in cash but in an as sortment of fringe benefits. The strike threat was thus av erted and in the resulting chorus of commendation of the President’s leadership in preserving industrial peace, the cost significance of the ten cents an hour “fringe’ increase was overlooked and everyone, in cluding the President, was led to believe that the steel industry had agreed to keep prices at their pre contract levels. But in the happy paeen of praise it was overlooked that the steel companies could not possibly agree to keep prices at existing levels without violating the anti trust laws and exposing them selves to the tender mercies of the Justice department. Neither Mr. Blough nor any other execu tive of a steel company would have dared to give any assurances about the future price of steel. We would have liked to ask him, “What is wrong with profits and with the attempt to make profits honestly and legally?” If private profits were to cease, then the payment of taxes to the Federal government would fall off very suddenly. Where then would the President get the 92.3 billion dol lars the Administration expects to spend during the coming year, or the one hundred billion he has al ready asked for in 1963? Will the President then expect to use the Polish government’s Communist currency that the State department has agreed to accept for the fifteen million dol lars worth of rice and cotton we have just “sold” to the Kremlin’s Polish agent, Gomulka? Or per haps the President could spend the Indian rupees he will receive for the new 539 million dollar credit just extended to Nehru. It should be obvious to everyone that a manufacturing company 'cannot prosper while it raises wages four times in three years and agrees to a fifth raise, with out a corresponding increase in its selling prices or in its pro ductivity. A president has no legislative authority to regulate the price of steel or the price of anything else and he did not ask Congress for any such authority. Instead of directly undertaking to do so, the President merely used the author ity he has to direct the Depart ment of Justice, the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission to start looking over the books, prac tices and policies of the people who have offended him in the mat ter. Then too, he has the power to shift the huge defense contracts which would have a definite effect on the business of these compan ies. In the steel proceedings, the President let it be known that he wMl offer neither appoasment, ne gotiations nor co-exisvence with those whom he considers enemies of his government. He is not han dicapped by a “no-win” policy in mm Smith To Attend >>.*:! ; ^ •X'jy&Ti :• <*:•> 11 A mb i t HHi .:?• a -V.v •• .V. •• wmm J. M.
