-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS_
Stabilization Policy Designed
To Spur Production; Argentine
Military Junta Under U. S. Fire
...........—.—I. Released by Western Newspaper Union. -
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions analysts are expressed in these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s news and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
WAGE-PRICES:
Go Sign
Formulation of the administra¬
tion’s new stabilization policy set¬
ting a pattern for wage increases of
from 15 to 17 per cent and permit¬
ting price boosts wherever neces¬
sary to assure prewar profit mar¬
gins, represented a victory for the
conservative advisers of President
Truman.
Spearheaded by John Snyder, St.
Louis banker and director of war
mobilization and reconversion, the
conservatives held that price as
well as wage readjustment was nec¬
essary to spur postwar production.
With goods flowing to market in vol¬
ume, they held, prices would auto¬
matically find their right level in a
competitive economy.
In announcing the new wage
price policy, which was designed to
settle the major steel, auto and elec¬
trical strikes, Mr. Truman hoped
that it would result in an early
resumption of mass production that
alone could head off an inflation¬
ary spiral. In the meantime, he
asked for extension of price control,
subsidies and allocations and priori¬
ties to temporarily hold living costs
in line and break industrial bottle¬
necks.
In winning his point of view, Sny¬
der was permitted to retain his
over-all control over the stabiliza¬
tion policy, with former OPA chief¬
tain Chester Bowles put in charge
of Bowles administering the new formula.
had stood firmly for a more
rigid wage-price program, believing
lower costs would lead to greater
purchasing power and volume, but
agreed to co-operate in making the
new policy work.
GOOD NEIGHBOR:
Not So Good
In issuing its historic “blue book”
condemning the Argentine military
regime and its strong-man leader¬
ship of Juan Peron, the U. S. state
department raised the whole ques¬
tion of continued U. S. and Allied
relationship with the South Ameri¬
can country.
At the same time, the state de¬
partment’s indictment against the
army junta, charging collaboration
during the war and in establishing
a fascist economy in peace, came
"Strong Man” Juan Peron, whose
military junta was under state depart¬
ment fire.
on the eve of the Argentine presi¬
dential election, lending possibilities
to a nation-wide swing against
Peron’s candidacy. Taking cog¬
nizance of the U. S. action, Peron
laid blame for the strained rela¬
tions between the, two countries on
Assistant Secretary of State Spruille
Braden, whom he accused of under¬
mining previous accords.
In charging Argentina with col¬
laboration with the axis in war, the
state department’s "blue book” de¬
clared that the military regime en¬
gaged in espionage against the al¬
lies, sought to undermine govern¬
ments in neighboring countries
friendly to the united nations, and
protected German economic inter¬
ests.
Asserting that the military junta
had permitted the establishment of
a fascist economy in Argentina to
serve as a base for reviving Ger¬
many’s imperial ambitions, the
“blue book” stated that Germans
now controlled such key industries
as chemicals and pharmaceuticals,
construction, electrical equipment,
metallurgy and agriculture.
FOOD SUPPLIES:
W orld Outlook
While per capita food consump¬
tion in the U. S. in 1946 is expected
to reach a new peak, a survey of
65 foreign countries conducted by
the department of agriculture
Boundary Problems Plague Peace Makers
Indicative of the complex problems facing the Big Five committee
drafting the postwar European peace treaty are the rival claims of Italy
and Austria to the southern Tyrol, ceded to the former after the first
World War.
Italy has opposed the transfer partly because of her investment in
several hydro-electric plants along the Adige river, a turbulent stream
about 225 miles long. Italian opposition has persisted even though Austria
has agreed to waive control of the plants and co-operate in further
hydro-electric developments.
Meanwhile, one of Austria's chief interests in the region lies in its
output of vegetables and fruits, including potatoes, cabbage, apples and
pears.
CLEVELAND COURIER
showed that the average person will
have about 12 per cent less to eat
than in prewar years.
In reporting its findings, however,
the department pointed out that
striking of an “average” balance
did not truly reflect conditions
abroad, what with near starvation
levels persisting in Italy, Germany,
French North Africa, France, Spain,
India and China.
Itemizing individual supplies, the
department said that the world sup¬
ply of bread will remain tight, with
reduced rations in some countries.
Demand for wheat will exceed sup¬
plies by 200 million bushels and
stocks of other grains will be lim¬
ited. From 15 to 20 per cent less
rice will be available than in pre¬
war years.
A shortage of meat will persist
in Europe and Russia, the depart¬
ment said, with increased produc¬
tion retarded by use of feed grains
for human consumption. While 1946
supplies of fish will be higher than
last year, cheese and egg stocks will
not meet demands.
The total of fats and oils will ap¬
proximate only two-thirds of import
needs while sugar consumption will
fall to the lowest level in a decade.
Only half as much butter will be
available for world trade as in pre¬
war years.
In contrast to the tight world food
situation, the American larder will
stay well stocked, barring poor
crops. Only butter and sugar sup¬
plies are expected to show no ap¬
preciable improvement, and while
fewer eggs are predicted, availabil¬
ity of more meat should cut de¬
mand for the product.
Butcher Old Dobbin
From the steadily declining horse popu¬
lation of the U. S., 77,887 equines went to
the slaughter houses in 1945 to provide
meat for American tables, hottest on rec¬
ord, the number of horses in this country
stands at less than half that of a quarter
century ago.
Reflecting the steady increase in horse
slaughter during the war, when overall
meat supplies failed to meet popular de¬
mand, the butchering of equines in 1945
showed a 49 per cent rise over the 1944
figure of 5 2.063.
Along with the horse, the old goat has
been sent to the stockyards with increasing
frequency, the slaughter of 13,150 by fed¬
erally inspected packers in 1945 represent¬
ing a 98 per cent boost over the figure for
ihtyirevious year.
TIRES:
Good Prospects
With the manpower situation im¬
proving with the return of many
veterans and new facilities sched¬
uled to get into production soon, the
tire outlook for 1946 has grown
increasingly promising, though
stocks adequate to meet record de¬
mand will not be forthcoming be¬
fore late in the year.
With 24 million cars in operation,
with many running on tires five or
more years old, the government set
a goal of 66 million passenger cords
for 1946. Under present favorable
conditions, manufacturers hope to
even exceed the mark. Because of
the continued scarcity of natural
rubber, substantial proportions of
both tires and tubes will be made of
synthetics.
Since 90 per cent of all tires pro¬
duced go to the market and only 10
per cent are retained for new auto¬
mobiles, not many more additional
cords have been made available dur¬
ing the closedown of auto plants
by the General Motors strike, trade
circles poinded out.
NATIONAL GUARD:
Postwar Increase
In accordance with plans to keep
America strong in the postwar
world, the national guard will be
increased to 622,500 officers and
men. more than double the total of
300,034 in the prewar period.
• Of the 622,500 men and officers,
571,000 will be included in the
ground forces, 47,600 in the air wings
and 4,000 in miscellaneous services.
This compares with the prewar
establishment of 295,000 on the
ground and 5,000 in the air.
Twenty-two infantry divisions will
constitute the bulk of the ground
forces, with two armored divisions
and 18 regimental combat teams
making up the remainder. The 12
air wings will be composed of 27
groups, 84 squadrons and 12 control
and warning units.
With 47,777 men and officers. New
York’s national guard will be the
largest in the country, followed by
Pennsylvania with 39,580; Califor¬
nia, 39.568, and Illinois, 32,908.
STEEL CARTEL FILES
WASHINGTON.-Dozens of G.l.
investigators have been working
since the shooting war stopped to
help win another war. This is a
war against international big busi¬
ness, which recognized no national
boundaries, which used countries
only as market divisions for its
products, and which at one time aid¬
ed Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito just
as much as it did France and Eng¬
land.
What the G.l. investigators have
uncovered in Germany is a tribute
to Nazi thoroughness and to the
gullibility of American big business.
For what it amounts to is a world
plan by which Germany expanded
its industrial capacity for war while
simultaneously curbing the industri¬
al capacity of this country and other
potential enemies.
And the names of the same men
who have been dickering with Tru¬
man over steel—Ben Fairless, Eu¬
gene Grace, et al.—have turned up
!n European files as part of the car¬
tel which unwittingly played into the
hands of the Nazis. It is a story
which the leaders of the steel in¬
dustry would like to forget. But
the justice department hasn’t for¬
gotten it.
American participation in the
steel cartel was decided upon as
late as 1937—when there was no
longer any doubt regarding Hit¬
ler’s warlike intentions. By that
time he had already invaded the
Rhineland, showed his hand by
sending arms to Franco, and boast¬
ed openly in speech after speech
that Germany would dominate Eu¬
rope.
The steel cartel files, seized
in Luxembourg, reveal that S.
M. Bash of Bethlehem Steel
and A. G. Mundle of U. S. Steel
took the initiative in binding
their companies to the cartel.
Four months later an agree¬
ment to divide up world mar¬
kets was reached.
ANTITRUST ACT
The steel barons were careful
about the Sherman antitrust act,
however, and the minutes of the
June, 1937, meeting reveal that no
written agreement regarding U. S.
markets was concluded.
In February, 1938,a delegation of
European sfeel men came to the
United States.
“Our representatives,” the
Luxembourg files showed, “ob¬
tained a very clear declaration
of responsibility for the agree¬
ments from” Messrs. Eugene
Grace of Bethlehem Steel, Ben
Fairless of U. S. Steel, Rufus
Wysor of Republic Steel, Frank
Purnell of Youngstown Sheet
and Tube, M. Haekett of Jones
and Laughlin Steel, Charles
Hook of Armco International,
William Holloway of Wheeling
Steel, Robert Wolcott of Lukens
Steel, and Ernest Weir or the
National Steel corporation (Weir
ton and Great Lakes steel).
Also included in the American
group were Inland Steel, Newport
Rolling Mills, Pittsburgh Steel, Otis,
and the Allan Wood company.
RACE FOR WAR
What the steel barons agreed to
was not only a division of markets
but arrangements for price-mainte¬
nance. Quotas were set regarding
the total production of each partici¬
pating company, with fines levied
against the firm if it exceeded its
quota.
How-ever, here is the pay-off. The
Germans always exceeded their
quotas, after which they politely
paid their fines and then kept on
speeding their output of steel in the
race for war. Meanwhile, American
and British firms stayed within their
quotas and kept down their war ma¬
chine.
In contrast with the Germans,
American firms, when they exceed¬
ed their quotas, were contrite and
apologetic. For instance, here is an
item from the steel cartel minutes
of April 18, 1939, which read:
“In regard to a recent ship¬
ment by the American group to
Belgium, i.e., a home market,
the American representative
stated that he was taking this
matter up with his group in
order to avoid a recurrence.”
How the cartel worked is also il¬
lustrated by a cable sent by Eugene
Grace of Bethlehem Steel to Sir
Charles Wright in London, dated
January 12, 1938, which read:
“Glad to have your message and
talk with Elliot. I feel sure there
will be no question about perform¬
ance of member companies. Our
only dificultv will oome from out¬
side and uncontrolled interests. It
will be our hope to protect prices
and bring all influence possible on
uncontrolled interests.
