TIRES:
Good Prospects
With the manpower situation im-
proving rdth the return of many
veteran* and new facilities selted-
uled to get into production soon, the
tire outlook tor 1241 has grown ■
increasingly promising. though
stocks adequate to meet record de-
mand will not bo forthcoming be-
fore late in the year.
With 24 million cars in operation,
with many running on tires Av« or
more year? old. the government set
a goal of 00 million passenger cards tbe
for 1B40. Under present favorable keei
conditions, menufacturers; hope to
even exreed the mark. Because of
the continued scarcity of natural
rubber, substantial proportions of
both tires and tubes will be made of
synthetics.
Since BO per cent of all tires pro-
duced go to the market and only 10
per cent are retained tor new auto-
mobiles, not many more additional
cords have bean made available dur-
ing the closedown of auto plants

CAPITOL HILL:
Dems Row
With Harold L. Ickes having quit
the deportment of the Interior after
President Truman
had Questioned the
accuracy of his tes-
timony before a
senatorial commit-
tee probing Edwin
W. Pauley’s aomi-
netion as uudenec
rotary of navy, po-
litical sages pon-
dered what effect
the self-styled “Old
Curmudgeon’s" action would have
en Democratic chances in the 1946
cengraaalonal and 1MB presidential
elections.
In resigning from the cabinet aft-
er 13 years of service ns one of the
liberal New Deal st al warts, "Hon-
est Harold," as Ickes is sometimes
known, warned Mr. Truman that po-
litical massure tor retention of state
control over underwater oil re-
nd serves could result In a scandal
similar to Teapot Dome. He i'
EZ said that pressure to assess admi
Dre Istrative perr-nnel tor campaign
purposes mig I create a major
scandal.
Although it was lone rumored that
kluw might leave the Preaedcot**
cabinet, bis dramatic departure
grew out of his charges that Pauley
had suggested to bim that <300.000
could be raised tor the 1944 presi
dential race if the government
dropped a suit the interior secre-
(ary instituted to place underwater
oil reserves under federal rather
than elate control. When Pauley
denied the allege tie® and Mr.
Truman declared that Ickes' testi-
mony might be inaccurate, the "Old
Curmudgeon” stated that the Pres-
ident's lack of confidence to him left
him no alternative but to submit
his resignation.
Ill feelings between Ickes and Mr.
Truman were further pointed up by
the President's order making the
resignation immediately effective
rather then oa March Bl as tiie in-
terior secretary had requested so
“ ' " might push through th*
tarican oil treaty "which
I nurtured and raised by
bottle from lhe beginning."
While the liberal Ickes, long a
prominent figure in reform poli-
tics, Mid be would not oppore the
President’s re-election >n 1248. he
qualified his statement by pointing
out thrt he bod cost his ba For a* a

WAGE-PH1CES:
Go Sifin
Formulation of tha 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 races-
sary to assure prewar profit mar-
gins, represented a victory tor the
conservative advisers of President
Truman.
Spearheaded by John Snyder, St
Louis banker and director of war ply
mobiUzalion and reconversion, the red*
conservatives held that price a*
well as wage readjustment was nec-
essary to spur postwar produottoo.
With good* fiuwtog to market in vol-
ume, they held, prices would auto-
matically find their right level In a
competitive economy.
In announcing (he new wage-
price policy, which was designet! to
settle tha major steel, auto and elec-
trical strikes, Mr Truman hoped
that it would result in an early
resumption ut mass production that
atone could head off nn inflation-
ary spiral, la the meantime, he
asked far extenaton of price control,
subsidies and allocatfons and priori-
P*1- ties to temporarily bold Bvtag costs
■J to tins and break industrial bottle-
necks.
In wuxuag bis point of view, Sny- war
der was permitted to retain his In
over-el control over tbe stabilizn-
tlon policy, with former OPA chief
tain Chester Bowles put in charge
of administering the naw formula.
Bowles bad stood firmly for a more
rigid wage-price program, believing
lower costs would load to greater
purchasing power and volume, but
agreed to oo-operxta in making tbe
new policy work.

STELL CARTEL FILES
WASHINGTON.- Dozens of O L
investigators have been working
since the shooting war stopped to
help win another war. This is a
war against International big busl-
acos, which recognized do national
boundaries, which used countries
only aa market divisions for its
products, and which at one time aid-
ed Hitlar, Mussohru 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 businaes.-
For what it amounts ta is a world ayu -y.*L-k;.
®”n' clmultoneaualy curbing the tadurtri- e
al capacity of this country and other
"J** potential enemies.
And tbe names of the same men e
who have been dickerin? with Tru-
man over steel—Hen Falrlesa, Tzi-
gane Grace, et al.—have turned up
to European flies as part of the car-
tel which unwittingly played into the
hands of the Neris !t Is a story
which the leaders of tha steel in-
dustry would like to forgot. But
the jttsttoc department hasn’t for-
gotten it.
American participation m the
steel cartel was decided upon as
late as Ml— when there was no
longer any doubt regarding Hit-
ter’s warlike Intentions. By that
time t»e had already Invaded tbe
Rhineland, showed Ma hand by
sending arms to Franca, and boast-
ed openly In speech after speech
that Germany would dominate Eu-
rope
Tl»e steel cartel flies, seized
fa Luxembourg, reveal that S.
U. Barii of Bethlehem Steel
and A. & Blondie of U. fl. Bfael
took the Initiative in binding
' their compiulez to tbe cartel.
Foor months later an agree-
ment te divide up world mar-
bets was reached.
ANTITRUST ACT
Tha steel barons were careful
about th* Sherman antitrust act,
however, and the minutes of tbe
June. 1937. meeting reveal that no
written agreement reaarding U. 8.
markets was concluded

BAOE FOR ti'AR
Wbat the steel barons agreed ta (
was not only a divttaon ol markets :
but arrangement* for price-mainte-
nance. Quotas wci e **t regarding
the tola) production of each partici-
pating company, with Ane* levied
against tbe fam If it exceeded tts
quota.
However, here is the pay-off. The
Germans always exceeded their
quotas, after which they polUriy
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, wore contrite ’and
apologetic. For instance, here to aa
item from the steel cartel minutot
of April 18. IBM. which read:
"In regard to a recent ship-
ment by the American group ta
Belgium, Le., a bom a znarket,
the American representative
stated that ha was taking tbi*
matter up with fas gyeap 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 Str
Charles Wright In London, dated
January i2. IB*, which read:
----- "Glad to have your message and
