Business, professional and white collar pproved by 80 percent. Farmers were 83 percent in | favor while 73 percent of manual workers held with President's plan. Large majorities in all groups Lought the proposal 'would help in reducing strike I cially noteworthy is the vote of labor union mem- 70 percent approval, 14 percent undecided and § percent disapproval. Here is another invitation to the Congress to move ad resolutely with strike-adjustment legislation is true that union leaders hotly denounced the President’s proposal when it was made. But in th matter they apparently speak for only a small minority | their following. The rank and file is, of course, ¢ for higher wages and better working conditions— would like to obtain thees benefits without resort- > strikes What Congress needs most in dealing with this blem is to shake itself free of organized pressure rom both employers and unions and to legislate in t eral interest. That comprehends, as is clearly d by results of the poll, the interests of organ- s well as unorganized workers-and consumers. That the general interest is at stake is signified analysis of the pattern of strikes that have already | question classe | which is of the greatest importance to the s ! is a different matter; yet it comes very close to the others in its relation to the orderly operation of our national life In a word, the industries already paralyzed or threatened with paralysis are predomina y thos2 in which the rest of the whole people is greater than that of the employers or workers directly concerned. This is not at all an exaggeration. the equities of the policy directors and the workers of the telephone companies and form a mnotion of wha hey have at stake. Then one can estimate the eco- nemic cost of paralysis in the Nation’s communic nd ma a rough approximation of the bill which the American people would have to pay. There is no comparison. The public interest is immeasurably greater than the private interests in jeopardy. The clear implication of th stoppages seek by w to provide an alternative ittrition as a method of reconciling of employers and workers essential that to the we must economic differences industries. There is here no contention that President Tru- man's proposal offers the only likely way out—though rd. Con- rvative to in gressional opinion ranges from ultra-cons the Moscow party line. But the men whose decisions shape the pattern of legislation are ih the middle of the road. They have been reluctant to take any anti- laber act have, indeed, been unwilling to fhrust the power of government into the strike question s a wartime measure But—their hand is being They continue to ignore the wave of strikes which threatens to manacie the economy cf a country already seriously crippled by the difficulties of reconversion.

The democratization country, he said, is hindered, among otk he fact that potential dem tic leade: coming to the front. They are fearful becau 10 not know “how long United States troops to protect them against the dreaded secret spicion! The discontinuity gn pelicy is historic, and is one of the great bles holding up world confidence, making for 1 such as has overcome, for example, the tin Americans toward the joint intervention pro- posal of Uruguay. There can pe no doubt that General MacArthur's efforts in the direction of the democratization of Japan have been well-considered, effective and continuous. One after another of the feudal and militaristic props of the old regime has been sawed away. So far as crders from without, plus legislation from within, can do the job, the path has now been cleared to consid- erable extent for a true democratic development in Japan. But whether the reforms ordered by General MacArthur and being executed by the Japanese authorities prove permanent or ephemeral depends, o0 a very large extent, upon us. It is true no permanent occupation of Japan is contemplated. Nor would such an occupation be wise.

This is red flag of public opinion | which organized labor needs to atch. the | lieutenant MEAT AND STEEL CIRCLES The meat and steel strike sare two illustrations of how the wage-price ircle spreads like waves from a ebble in a pool. When the price of steel goes up, as it will by $4 a ton, every user of steel—from automobiles to 10- penny nails—can ceme in and get A price increase. This sends up the yene. 720,200 s‘eel But T be drawn not passed on crwise, with the cost of 1i all unions will be coming back another raise. M: ing economics are even more illustr ve. Everyone eats meat. The meat-workers deserve a wage increase. It is a low-paid industry. But, if wages go too high, there is no way to escape increas- ing the price of meat. This means trouble for every housewife and a never-ending circle of new wage demands. All this illustrates the fact that the Government must exercise the power of arbiter in these disputes. It must set the middle ground. The old War Labor Board never should bhave been abelished; but, since it was abolished, President Truman still has the power without an act of Congress to create a new Board. And if certain labor unions will not cooperate, then the country will support President Truman, who has been the consistent friend of labor, in using whatever ste necessary to force cooperation ADMIRAL NIMITZ'S POINTS Adm. Chester Nimitz, new Chief of Naval Operations, was sitting in the Navy Building barber shop near a captain in the naval reserve. The four-striper, exchang pleasantries with the former U. Commander in the Pacific, twice where e to the p for reminded his superior that he had | sufficient points to get out of ser- vice, and seemed just as anxious to be separated as the average sea- man first class. Smiling mischievously, Nimitz re- plied, “I never thought I'd get enough points to get out of the Pa- cific.” CAFPITAL CHAFF Controversial Gen. Clayten Bis- sell, long head of Military Intel- ligence, -is being transferred out of this key spot. His replacement will be Lieut. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, nephew of the GOP Senator from Michigan and one of the ycungest generals in the Army, aged 47. . . . What makes veterans’ blood boil: When they drive up with their own truck to take de- livery on surplus property and find the RFC has a deal with the unions that only union trucks can haul surplus Government property away. This is the situation at De- troit’s RFC warehouse. . . . There’s at least one public servant on Cap- itol Hill not on the Government pay roll—“Wildcat,” the big black and yellow tom cat which has helped rid the Senate office res- taurant of rats. Gen. S. U. Marietta, head of Walter Reed Hospital, is now getting in tune with General Eisenhower’s orders to speed demobilization when G.I's have sufficient points. He has call- ed in medical technicians, hitherto frozen, to tell them they can soon exit. MAIL BAG Frem a corporal in the Marine Corps: “On Nov, 28, 1944, the cruis- er on which T was serving was crashed-dived by a Jap plane com- monly referred to in the Navy as a VAL dive bomber. Upon exams ination, the engine was stamped ‘Pratt & Whitney, N, Y., 1939."" From Private Virgil M. Dix, Barksdale Field, Shreveport, La.: “When I read of our sale of air- planes to Japan, it loeks as though we had to build up an dpponent, much as a poor boxer is built up to draw high gate receipts, before we knock him down, only in our case it was tools of war that re- sulted in death and not a phony knock-out. You and I know that the war with Japan didn’t start on December 7, 1941, but sometime during the year of 1938, Perhaps the first shot was fired at Pearl Harbor, but the foundation and cornerstone was laid in 1938. | “During the year of 1038 I was employed by the Aluminum Com- pany of America in the test la- boratory of the Cieveland forge plant. Let it be understood that I say the following without any dis- like for the Company, but as an American citizen I feel it my duty to speak my thoughts. We forged thousands of propeller blades, crank cases, and nose-pieces for Japan- ese aircraft manufacturers, Mitusi and Mitsubishi. I do think that the people ould see that Congress passes laws to see that industry doesn’'t sell us into another war. You have my permission to use my name.” MERRY-GO-ROUND Those two one-inne enemies, A. F. of L’s William Green and United Mine Workers' John L.
