They are immediately thrown up against tough international or domestic problems. Scarcities, for eign supply 'and demand, trade balances, dollar shortages or political relations with other countries are involved. All seem to call for economic con trols of some sort or another, to remedy. what's wrong. It is traditional that all businessmen hate con+ trols and government interference with the nornral practices of the free enterprise system. Yet what happens nine tmes out of ten is that the business executives temporarily turned bureaucrats fre quently come up with the same answers that the ¢ollege proiesgcrs, the economic planners and the New Dealers would propose. Take a lew specific exdmples:” * here's Charies E. Wilson, Director of ODM, the © i e of Defense Mobilization. Republican. For vooc presicent of -General Electric. A rugged indi vi ‘ualist if there ever was one. \ the first place, he tells President Truman he v ou't take the job unless he can have full author ity. Mr. Wilson hates “czars.” But by force of cir gu nstances he virtually becomes one himself. /hat Mr. Wilson comes up with is a “three sve.r plan It's in the best tradition of the eco noasic pianners. Its goal is to provide enough raw niaterials to supply both a defense program and a normal civilian economy by the end of 1953. To a hisve that goal, Mr. Wilson has to impose all I nds of restrain.s on business-as-usual. JJUINSTON A GOOD EXAMPLE 3 ¢ take the case of Eric Johnston, director of the 0O ice of Economic Stabilization. Another Repub li-an. Supposed to have had ambitions to be GOP cardidate for President at one time. May still have *orn. Owns several small business enterprises in t o northwest. An ex-president of U. S. Chamber of Cymmerce. On leave to the government fromr a hizh-powered job with the movie industry, which is definitely big business. When Dr. Alan Valentine, a .professor and col fe » president, failed at the job of trying to sta bilize U. 8. prices, Eric Johnston was drafted and thrown into the breach. After finding his way around, he supports a pro g-.1 of tough price controls. Then he starts talk in: about the need for freezing the farm parity gormula and setting a fair standard for profits. Profits are, of course, the number one sacred cow. wucns OPA Administrator Chester Bowles s.arted talking about profit regulation in the last war, his own ceilings fell in on him and knocked hiri out of office. Yet Mr. Johnston comes up with a similar answer to meet the new- inflationary th-eat, and there is only mild protest. [n the matter of wage controls, Eric Johnston al'» condones a line that no big businessman would be expected to endorse. At first Mr., John ‘ston was for a tough 10 percent wage increase ceiling. But he has now allowed that ceiling to be punctured by the railroad wage increase and the meat packers’ wage increase. Or take an upcoming case in international rela tions. It concerns the new omnibus foreign aid bill. 1t would put Marshall Plan fourth-year operations, third-year military assistance and the Point Four program all under the same roof in the State De partment. “State Department” and “dog house” are now the same thing in the minds of many people. Any~ thing that comes out of there or goes into it is con sidered autonratically no good. [t so happens that this plan for centralized con trol and unification of all foreign aid programs was perfected by a couple of Massachusetts Republi cans named Thomas D. Cabot and Charles C. Cool idge. They were appointed Director and Deputy Director, respectively, of the Office of Interna tional Security Affairs by Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Way down ®ast in Boston, they just don’t come any more conservative than the Cabots and Cool idges.: Yet these two Yankees, after studying the situation thoroughly, came to the conclusion that putting all foreign assistance programs under State Department control was the only plan that made any sense, There are some GOP political leaders who think that officials like Wilson, Johnston, Coolidge and Cabot, who collgborate with the Truman adminis tration, should be read out of the Republican Party @s traitors to their class. The other side of that story is that maybe these officials and many like themr are public-spirited citizens who are able to put the welfare of their country above political party. Film clinches are hard work. Actors have to hold the girls in their arms for maybe three or four hours at a stretch. —Edmund Goulding, movie director. . - ‘ Graduating Class Poinis . . v University's Growth More than 1,200 students received various degrees from the University of Georgia at today’s graduat ing exercises. To many of those attending the commencement exercises, the growth of their Alma Mater within their own lifetime must have appeared phenomenal, It was only a few years ago, seemingly, when there were only a few hundred students enrolled in the University. Today hundreds were given diplomas as they finished their college careers. A few years hence we may expect to see two thous and graduates, receiving their degrees. The exercises today brought to a close the Sesqui- Centennial Programr at the University, The observ= ance has been a big success, emphasizing the im= portance of the University to the state and the na tion throughout its existence. We are all proud of the great record of the Uni versity and, as plans for its future development and usefulness unfold, we will become more and more proud of its significance. " The Presidency ltself Damaged By Incessant Attacks A good deal of the time in our history the Pres ident and Congress have been at odds with each other. Often the conflict is just a gentle blow, but occasionally it whips up into a tremendous storm. This struggle is inherent in our system of three co-equal branches of government with the courts, the executive arm and the legislature operating to balance each other and check excesses of power. The opposition to a President’s policies may orig inate—and often has—within his own party. But clearly it is bound to be most accurate when it is spearheaded by men of ancother political faith. We are in that kind of a period now. On some issues, notably domestic ones, President Truman has to combat mrembers of the Democratic Party, Southerners for the most part. But the chief stum bling block he faces in Congress is the aroused GOP. The Republicans believe they have Mr, Truman on the run. With the* RFC probe, the crime dis closures in various Democratic strongholds, (al though crime and politics knows no party lines) and now the dispute over General MacArthur's dismissal, they think they have the ammunition to blast the Democrats out of the White House in 1952, It is natural, in this situation, that Mr. Truman’s opponents should seek to press their advantage, to score every point they can rack up for the coming elections. But whether the opposition has the President on the run or not, it is still necessary that we conduct our government according to the checks-and-bal ances theory on which it is founded. A Congress cognizant of its limrtations under the Constitution cannot take away the reins of govern ment from the President. He is our duly-elected Chief Executive, and as such must be respected as national leader and prime maker of policy. He and his politics must be repudiated at the polls before the reins can pass to other hands. The lawmakers obviously are free to criticize, to temper White House policieis where they can, even to block those they believe unwise. Yet they can not usurp the managerial functions which devolve upon the President; if they do, they disrupt the system of checks and balances and tend to become all-powerful. The Constitution gives an American President a lot of discretion in matters affecting defense and foreign affairs. For Congress to narrow its author ity in these fields is risky; it establishes precedent which can be used to justify similar or greater limitations by other lawmakers in later years. By the same token, to attack any particular Chief Executive so extremely as to detract from the dignity of his office is dangerous. The American system depends upon the people having confidence in the Presidency, the Congress and the courts. A suggestion like Senator Wiley's, to subpoena Mr. Truman, shows little respect for the Presidency. The attitude of some that “Congress knows best” reaches into soft ground when it convinces legisla tors that they know more about military affairs than life-long soldiers, and they grasp detailed executive policy better than expert administrators, and that they may assert their authority without regard for the dignity and power of the Presidency. The British protect the crown from political attacks and thereby safeguard an important bul wark against the ill effects that result from ex trenre partisan attacks upon the Presidency. In their frantic efforts to displace a Democratic administration at Washington certain economic and political groups have actually so undermined the office of the Presidency until their confidence in the occupant of the office which is necessary has been almost destroyed. € There has been nothing like the present situatioi. since the bitterly conducted campaign by the Re publican Radicals in Congress against President Andrew Johnson. The country suffered then as it suffers now from attacks upon the Presidency. Although these attacks are directed against Mr, Truman as a person, it is difficult to differentiate the person from the office, and so the office itself is brought into disrepute. And thus losing in respect and authority, its influence even when its occupant is right is damaged. The men carrying on this reckless campaign are injuring their country far more than they are hurting Mr. Truman. | THE BANN&-!IERALD.
