THE ORACLE. eT TIME FOR LABOR STATESMANSHIP Writing on early results of the Taft- Hartley labor law, David Lawrence said: \lready major labor unions have pledged themselves to settle their disputes with employers directly and to resort as little as possible to governmental boards— a development long hoped for but not un- til now beginning to be realized.” It may be that the new labor law will encourage a return to our traditional sys- tem of collective bargaining—and that the trend will be away from running to the government whenever labor and manage- ment find themselves in disagreement. One of the worst phases of labor troubles in recent years has been the trend toward dictatorial’ government intervention. If that were continued indefiitely, some gov- ermental bureau would inevitably become the ezar of all labor relations in this coun- try—to the detriment of managers, stoek- holders and workers alike. On the other hand, it is apparent that some large unions are still determined to do everything possible to make the Taft- Hartley law inoperative, to circumvent Congress and the popular will. Should these practices become widespread, at the expense of production and employment in this country, there will unquestionably be an irresistible public demand for legisla- tion of a much more stringent character. Labor statesmanship of the highest order is needed now. FOOD SHORTAGE TO 1949 The world food situation is no better than a year ago, declares Sir John Boyd Orr, Director-General of the Food and sriculture Organization of the United Nations, Sir John warns that machinery and fertilizer will have to be sent to the de- vastated countries or the severe food shortage will last two years more. A conference of fifty nations will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, late this month for the purpose of seeking an agree- ment upon a food program. Sir John warns that if the nations fail to agree on posi- tive action to implement a food- -raising program, affecting the welfare of people everywhere, there is little hope of their reaching an agreement on other issues, eS eee ea Work hard, save your money and you wil! die early enough for your heirs to en- joy spending it. GOOD NEWS FOR KEY WEST So many reports and counter reports have been made about the Carib Queen, the ferry that is to be operated between Key West and Havana, it is refreshing to note that an Associated Press dispatch from Jacksonville states that efforts are being made to have the ferry in operation by next January 1. Something else, in connection with that AP. report, is highly gratifying. Rumors have been making the rounds about the condition of the company that is building the Carib Queen, but those rumors should be set at rest by this report: “The Gulf - Atlantic Transportation Company ended its fiscal year in May with a surplus of $123,119, compared with a loss of $100,000 for the preceding 12- month period, President G. H. Williams told stockholders at their annual meeting. Operations for June and July, first two months of the current fiscal year, have produced $23,062 in profits, he added.” Then Mr. Williams, according to the AP story, said something else that is of great importance to the people of Key West. He declared: the Carib Queen, superferry being com- pleted here (Jacksonville), ready for op- eration between Key West and Havana, by January 1.” Let us hope that Mr. Williams’ esti- mate of the time it will take to complete the ferry turns out to be right..Should the ferry begin operation by January 1, it will be another factor in what now appears will be the ‘most successful winter season in the history of Key West. As The Citizen readers have’ noted, many buildings are in course of construction to provide more accommodations for‘tourists, and announce- ments have been made that work on other structures will be started shortly. Doctors are facing the problem of so- cial medicine—because of their exorbitant charges for medical services. FACTS ABOUT PRICES Consumer protests against the* high cost of food continue. Understandable as this is, it seems certain that the public at large is unaware of certain basic econo- mic facts. According to one authority, food bills are no greater today in proportion to gross per capita iricome than they were in the 1935-89 period. They have, in other words, simply followed the general trend. Again, farm authorities have present- ed some very compelling evidence to the effect that allegedly swollen agricultural profits are largely non-existent. The enor- mous increases in farm operating costs— labor, materials, feed, taxes and everything else—have eaten up the increase in the farmer’s gross income. To blame the packers and retailers for high prices is a common practice. It is also an utter fallacy. The meat pack- ing industry, for instance, states, that it earns less than one cent a day, after ex- penses, for providing meat for an average American family of four. The retailer is in preciseiy the same position. The large food chain systems earn, as net profit, only a cent or two on each dollar of sales. The independent mer- chants, who must meet the competition, work on similar margins. Many stores have voluntarily sliced their already narrow profits in order to hold price increases to the minimum. But they can’t operate at a [oss. High prices are an economic conse- quence of the times. Neither producers, distributors, processors or retailers are re- sponsible for them. There have been very few businesses to \ close their doors because they minded their own businesses. NEED FOR AN ARMY The Indonesian republic calls upon the United Nations to order the Dutch to with- draw their troops from the East Indian islands. , This is very simple. The U.N. is to ac- cept the assertion of the republican lead- ers that they are right and throw the Dutch out of lands that they have con- trolled and developed for decades. The idea that the United Nations can make all nations behave is far-fetched, to +} Say the least, at the present time. Not un- til there is in being an international army, air force ad navy will the U.N. be able to put much weight behind any plan to solve international disputes. . “Every effort is being made to have’ | Radio Programs THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daytime Summary Selected programs as listed below are broadcast at the e Mon. day through Friday.
