Mean- while prominent labor I cited the figure in radio speeches and press statements as official endorsement of their demands. The OWMR calculation was followed by a widely publicized report issued by the Department of Com- merce. This was dated October 25 and made public by Secretary Whallace to a representative group of news- paper men on November 1. The report declared that “present cost-price relationships are such throughout industry that a basic wage crease is possible without raising prices”; and that the automobile industry in particular could grant a 15 pet cemt increase “without adverse results in the first post-war year and a further increase of 10 per cent for 1947.” This revort was made public at a decisive point in the labor negotiations between the unions and the automobile companies. It was cited by they unions as official backing for their wage demands. Repre- | sentatives of the automobile industry asked the De- partment of Commerce for the detailed statistics sup- porting the conclusions. These were apparently not supplied by the Department until February 6. Statis- ticians for the industry called attention to errors in the figures. They also found remarkable coincidences | both in methods of calculation and in errors in the i Department of Commerce’s report and in a United Automobile Werkers-CIO report dated October 26.

BRITISH POLICY ON FBRANCO British Delegate Sir Alexander Cadogan has issued a denial of this column’s recent report that Lon- don had instructed British diplo- mats at the Security Council to postpone or complicate procedure on the Spanish issue until Franco could work out a ccmpromise in Spain.

I have received nothing remotely like the so-called instructions revealed in this ¢olumn. It seems a pity that the American public should be so grievously misled.” t is interesting to note that just a few hours before Cadogan issued the above denial, he sent round to all British diplomats in New York and hastily called in the texts of the previously distributed cabled instructions on Spain, Jt will falso be interesting to watch future Bri- tish policy on Spain and see whe- ther the American public has real- 1y. been so “grievously misled BILBO ON NEW YORK A’ New York acquaintance en- countered iron-tonsilled Senator ‘Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi bust- ling down the corridor from hi office. “Well, I see Life magazine been giving you some free city,” said the New Yorker “They can keep it,” The Man. “That. blanke magazine is always attacking has publi lustered me 1 wish those New Yorkers would stay the blankety-blank out of my affairs and Mississippi pelitics.
