THE UNPALATABLE TRUTH The people of the United States have reached a point where they must face facts, We have been taught to look upon our country as a land of inexhaustible re- sourees. We have lived in a sort of a drama world ereated by our own wishful think- ine. We have been told by so-called economists that wages could be raised al- most indefinitely without an increase in the coat of living. We have been told that we could go in debt almost indefinitely, on the theory that when government bor- rowed from the people it was not really a debt because the people merely owed the money to themselves. : Now we face the Frankenstein we have built, Wé have found that more wages for leas production per man raises prices enormously. We have found that when we loaned money to ourselves in the form of government bonds, interest on that money has to be collected in taxes and paid to ourselves—this in turn adds srveally to the cost of living. General Eisenhower has now told us-in plaim language that with the present condi- tion ef the world, it is possible we will be in abother war within 12 months. There is only one way the people of the United States can save themselves. As workers we must learn that increased in- come can only be made permanent through increased production per man; we must learn that only by work and saving and ecommmy can we maintain a solvent gov- ernitient, Le. save the money Wwe have loaned ourselves. It makes no difference whether we allow extravagance in govern- ment or extravagance in our fatiilies— either will destroy our savings and tapi- tal. We must all learn that in a world economy larkely devoted to a race for military supremacy and to the quickest and-most efficient means for destroying the human rave, we must be prepared to protect ourselves, Today we are like a giant who has be- come sott due to his own excesses. Unless we Correct our method of living, we ate simply inviting trouble. We have had our warning. We have seen the inevitable ré- eulte of policies we have pursued. Are we intelligent enough to correct our errors? Many laws, on the statute books, are not worth the paper they are written on, NOTHING “STAYS” No kind of times are “there to stay,” as ‘ey West business men, in common with others, are well aware. Business condi- tions change, as do all other things in life. In view of that fact, Leon Henderson, former OPA administrator, merely stréss- ed an apparent truth when he told a joint house-senate committee that good times are not here to stay, but when he said there may be another “bust” unless con- gtess “does something about the wage- price situation,” he entered a field of theory on which few men agree. What is congress to do? Henderson will tell congressmen to do this, and an- other man, fully as competent in the world of economy, will tell them to do that, and a third man will express an entirely dif- ferent course to pursue. The more wit- nesses who appear before the committee the greater number of ways will be sug- gested to thwart a “bust.” ; Whatever congress does, a “bust” may occur, and if congress does nothing, the coming of a “bust” may be deferred. Conditions that work toward a “bust” and conditions that tend toward good times are beyond the power of congress to control. The late President Roosevelt spent billions to try to bring back good times, but, up to the beginning of World War II, business still continued to be “just around the corner.” Key West got a full dose of economic injections to try to bring prosperity to the community. One of Roosevelt’s alpha- betic agencies tried to “rehabilitate” Key West, but the only rehabilitation was that of hundreds of imported administrative officers, whose salaries were hefty com- pared to the bread-and-butter wages paid Key West workers. The present good times “are not here to stay,” regardless of what congress may do, in following Henderson’s or anybody else’s suggestion. i The United States Department of Com- merce recently released the statement that in 1946, the American people spent $8,- 700,000,000 for alcoholic beverages, which is an increase of $900,000,000 over the amount spent in 1945. This amount repre- sents a per capita expenditure of $89.00 for every person over 18 years in the Unit- ed States. No true American can read these astrominical figures without genuine concern for the future of his country. It is not surprising that the FBI reports for 1946 show that a major crime was com- mitted every 18.7 seconds for the year, and that every 6.4 minutes some one was either feloniously assaulted, raped or murdered under the American flag. SOCIALISM IS NOT THE ANSWER One of the most astonishing ideas ever promulgated in this country is that the government should immediately seize and eventually nationalize the coal mines in or- der to solve the problem of labor disturb- ances that have created periodic chaos in the industry. If that is true, it means that the Unit- ed States government is so weak and vacil- lating that it must destroy private enter- prise in a great industry, and pave the way for socialization of all basic industry, in order to deal with a single union which is controlled lock, stock and barrel by a single man. From the practical point of view, there is no reason whatsoever to believe that na- tionalized coal mines would be more pro- ductive than privately-owned coal mines, he evidence is all the other way—as the current example of England’s government- owned coal industry demonstrates. In all probability, less coal would be produced, and costs would be higher—at the expense of all,the taxpayers. All industry would be affected directly or indirectly. We would be unable to meet foreign commit- ments, and there would be less coal for use at home. é That, however, is of relative signifi- cance beside the principal at stake. This country is the last citadel of free enterprise left on earth. We are spending billions of | dollars in an attempt to keep the rest of the world from sinking into totalitarian- ism. Socialization of any industry would be sheer communism—at a time when we Tecognize that the communist ideology is the greatest treat that freedom faces, hat case coilld we make to the people of ey nations if we accept defeat of our own Brineip és at home? The Solution to the coal labor policy is honest collective bargaining between the union Aid the operators. The new la- bor law may make that possible.
