Truman Turns Heat
On Business Men
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON — (AV- President
Truman is putting the heat on
business, not on labor, to get this
country out of its slump.
He wants business men to cut
prices, but not wages.
He made this clear in his report
to Congress on Monday and in his
radio talk Wednesday.
Further, he challenged steel
companies to let government fact
finders check on their ability to
meet their workers' demands.
Mr. Truman thinks there’s rea
son to worry about the economic
illness which the country is suffer-
ing now.
One of the
main cures he
suggests is a cut
in prices. Too
high prices, he
says, brought on

now. His reasoning goes:. ,
When prices soared after the war.
people with money to spend bougnt
what they needed, in spite of the
prices
At last they had to begin cut
ting down on their buying because
of the big gap between the prices
and their pocketbooks.
So production began to go down
It's still going down. This meant
fewer and fewer people needed to
produce and more people were made
jobless. Dnemploymnt is growing
So —
1. What is needed is more pro
duction unless people are able to
buy what's made
2. They won't be able to do the
necessary buying unless the price
are cut down closer to their ability
to buy. Therefore, to encourage
buying, prices should be cut down.
3. The more the buying, the more
the need for production of things
that people want to buy. And that
will mean more people employed
to do the producing.
4. But. if wages are cut when
prices are cut. then the gap be

mams the tame people will have
too little money to buy the reduced
goods.
9. Therefore, to keep us people’s
ability to buy, wages should not be
cut. But—businessmen will lose
some of their present profits if
they cut prices but not wages.
6. That's all right. The main point
is to have people with money to
buy goods, since that will encour
age production and employment
In the end business men will make
sufficient profit* through the in
creased volume of production, ot
number of items they sell.
That’s what Mr. Truman suggests.
It puts the burden on business, not
on labor.

Ciampa explained that find
