The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is
for good men to do nothing. 2 "
One evil that disturbs many of us today is the ac-
celerating drift toward a welfare state and away from
the system of free, competitive enterprise that has
made this nation not only the wealthiest but the happi-
snatched back from the brink of
national suicide. We discover a
new weapon to destroy disease
and go so hog-wild we use it to
destroy ourselves instead.
Yet every time we are almost
victimized by our own imbalance,
each time the American people
start to go down a third time and
get swallowed up forever in an
ocean of their own unharnessed
emotion, some greater Wisdom
provides a counteraction.
Pell - mell we produce cars un-
til there are two for every fam-
ily and no place to park. So driv-
ing becomes less attractive, less
advantageous, so we’ll produce
fewer cars for a while. Eventually,
every excess creates its own con-
traceptive.
But there is one chronic ill
which has attacked our economy
...and this growth...might be malig-
nant. It is the annual insistence
by labor's leaders that we have
another round of pay raises with
no concern for a corresponding
increase in production. *
I don't know how to counterset
it.
These fellows have to justify
their existence and perpetuate
their presidencies by showing re

they’ll be voted out of office, they
fear.

look which has caused the Presi-
dent of the United States, with
the best advice obtainable at his
disposal, to throw up his hands in
desperation and say inflation is
here to stay. Right now we are
anesthetized by prosperity.

WASHINGTON ( - Most of the
statement by President Elsenhow-
er and British Prime Minister
Macmillan — on what they agreed
to at Bermuda — was a collection
of banalities. It sounded more
tired than vigorous.
For example: They agreed it’s
good to have military allies.
That’s hardly news. They said
they will continue support for the
reunification of Germany. No one
expected otherwise.
Nor, to continue the example,
did they have to go to Bermuda
to agree as they said they did,
that they: sympathize with the
Hungarian people: think Russia is
repressive; believe sll countries
should have liberal trade policies;
have a common interest in Eu-
ropean unity within the Atlantic
community.

Penalties On Efficiency
Wa Americans are paying billions more for freight
transportation than we should—because obsolete gov-
ernment policies have encouraged inefficient freight
carriers and penalized efficient ones. That is the sub-
stance of an extremely well documented article by
Gilbert Burck in the January issue of Fortune.
Mr. Burck comperes the situation to the European
cartel idea, which restrains productton and progress,
and raises prices. The cartel has always been viewed
with the utmost mistrust in this country. “Yet," Mr.
Burck writes, "the fact is that government regulation
has not only caused inefficient carriers to be subsid-
ized and promoted at the expense of efficient carriers,
it has given nonregulated carriers unfair advantage
over regulated carriers, and so has encouraged the
maintenance of a larger transportation plant than the
nation needs." In the case of the railroads, he adds,
regulatory policies have prevented them from" . . .
competing for traffic that they could haul profitably
and economically, and so has forced them to maintain
higher rates than they would otherwise have main-
tamed.”
Mr. Burck’s article runs to many thousands of words,
and is buttressed with all manner of statistical and
other factual evidence. He plays no favorites, and
deals with past policies of the railroads and other
carriers which he regards as short-sighted snd bad.
i But that is water over the dam, and the problem now;
is to get the kind of regulation that will give the pub-
lic the best service at the lowest cost.

The demagogue’s axiom is "It's good politics to be
anti-business?’ And the rabble-rousers are right. This
seems to be the popular side to take. Proof that the
businessman is in the public’s doghouse came from a
pre-convention Gallup poll in which a cross-section of
the voters favored for the presidency a man who
"usually sides with labor" over one who "usually sides
with business." And the margin was better than 3 to

jealousy of the man who works for a "big" business.
This warped thinking fails to recognize the Amer-

a good job for the public. We all know that, because
we are all customers. And every worker, whether for
a big business or a small one, should cherish his Amer-

A heavy outpouring of senti-

indignation against' the investiga-

Just when Panhandle farmers
are about to give up after five
dry years, they got a wet one.
Just as industry bands togeth-
er and fixes prices that squeeze
the freedom out of the working-
man. along comes an antitrust
law that puts things back in bal-
ance.
When big labor begins to abuse
the workers and misuse their dues,
in the nick of time a Senator
from Arkansas gets his teeth into
the trousers of the big boys and
chomps them down to their right
size.
Egyptian President Nasser keeps
on kicking up his heels.
All they said — without men-
tioning his name — was to indi-
cate they hope he will com-
ply with united nations' resolu- '
tions for restoring peace to the
Middle East 1
They may have reached agree- '
ments not put in writing. it s t
doubtful for example: Macmillan
has favored a strong hand in deal- 1
ing with Nasser; Eisenhower has
preferred handling him through
the U.N.
Eisenhower and Macmillan did
reach positive decisions on three ।
points: ।
1. The United States will lot
Britain have American guided .
missiles. This was a natural step,
besides saving Britain money try-
ing to develop similar weapons, ,
since Britain is in the front line
of this country’s own defense.
The British—because of a ban 1
in American law—won’t get the
atomic warheads to go with the
missiles. But warheads will be
stocked in Britain. In an emer- '
gency — a Russian attack — they ]
would certainly get the warheads. ’
1. It was agreed the United
States and Britain will continue <
testing nuclear weapons while 1

when be wanta to.
The alternative to our free enterprise system, as
we cm it, is the welfare state. In the welfare state
everyone will be very little indeed—except the anti-
businss leaders and the federal overseers. If we are
to save what we have, businessmen will have to save
it—all businessmen, from Peck, the shine boy, to the
board chairman. .*-----7*----7----—-
Each of us will have to rediscover what we believe
and why, and learn to talk about it as loudly and as
convincingly as the politician plugging for big govern-
ment and collectivism.
In fact, we must convince the politicians that it’s
very bad politics to be anti-business.

Reopening Of
Suez May Cut
Gasoline Bills
NEW YORK. UR Reopening of
the Suez Canal next month may
cut your gasoline and fuel oil bills
as Middle East oil starts flowing
to Europe again.
That's the opinion of oil execu-
tives here. Prices of refined pet-
roleum products will probably go
down a bit, they say. Basic crude
oil prices— increased in January
for the first time in three years-
may be under heavy pressure.
When tankers start churning
the canal and the big Middle East
pipelines are pumping oil in heavy
volume. Europe will have a sur-
plus of oil instead of the shortage
it has now. The emergency call for
U.S. oil - which kept producers
in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma
in clover for five months — will
stop.
Even now signs show the Eu-
ropean oil pinch is easing. On
April 17. Britain will raise the gas-
oline ration for motorists 60 per
cent. A good part of the Iraq
Petroleum Co’s sabotaged pipeline
system is back in operation, pump-
ing oil through Syria to the Med-
terranean for delivery by tank-
er to Europe. On this side of the
Atlantic, Texas oil men report
that several big European custom-
ers have stopped buying.
NEW WORRY
This is worrying many Indepen-
dent U. S. Producers for whom the
European oil crisis provided a
heady if short-lived boom.
Now, after five months of living
high on the hog. they’re in for a
spell of competition that may be
fiercer than anything this rough-
and-tumble industry has seen since
the Rockefeller era. .
Since November the big Arab
oil countries have been holding
their production down. They’ve
been losing out on the lush royal-
ties they used to collect through
their 50-50 arrangement with big
companies. Now that the Egyptian
Pledges of full support for the
union leadership came from oth-
era. .
From the high ranks of the la-
bor movement itself, all was si-
lence except for a vigorous state-
ment from Walter Reuther, presi-
dent of the big United Auto Work-
ers and a member of the AFL-
CIO Executive Council. -
He characterized Teamster Pres-
ident Dave Beck's alleged use of
union money as "highly improper.
Inexcusable and morally indefen-
sible."
Of indicted union Vice President
Frank Brewster, Reuther as-
serted:
"I 10 per cent of what has been
revealed” is true, Brewster la
"unfit to hold union office or any
other position of public trust.”
And he added that if the facts
in an indictment against Vice
President James R. Hoffa are
true, "then Mr. Hoffa should go

sions around the country:

Max Schweitzer: "The whole thing
is bad for the union and if these

them right now." Fullmer Latter,
secretary-treasurer of union Local
222: "I have confidence in the In-
ternational union."
MILWAUKEE—Roy Lane, pres-
ident of the 6,000 member Local
200, said he does not "appreciate
the fact that Bock borrowed $400,-
000 from the union without the
authorization of the membership."
Of Hoffa. Lane said: “He has done
a beautiful job for the member-
ship in the Central Conference
and we are willing to go out to
back him.”
PORTLAND, Ore.—A petition,

members in the area, Informed
the Senate committee that they
are "In full accord with your in-
vestigation. We wish removal from
office of all Teamster officials
found guilty of racketeering for
minuses of union funds.”
SOME SURPRISED
Other Teamsters interviewed by
the Oregon Journal took varying
views. Some expressed surprise
at the Washington developments,
one saying Beck and Brewster
had “done a lot for us,” but most
said they would resent defense as-
sessments.
"We need a law to make sure
we have some control over the
union and that our money isn't
wasted on big shots,” said one
man. Another thought the AFL-
CIO should charter a new Team-
sters Union.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-John
LaNear, local union business
manager, said both he and the
union members had a "wait-and-
see” attitude and that the mem-
bers were “not very shook up
about it.”
A survey by the Albuquerque
Journal got mixed reactions rang-
ing from a reply that, "The whole
union should be investigated from
top to bottom" to others that, "I’ll
wait until the invesigaion is fin-
ished."
