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
