Around the Square-
President Truman’s seizure of the steel
r.ills and the consequent possibility of the
government's ramming through the contro-
reisial wage increase by decree pose a
grave issue of national policy for the
American people.
The steel case differs from previous in-
stances of similar actions on two principal
points.
Tirst. the steel controversy has been es-
sentially a government baby all the way
through. A wage ceiling exists by govern-
ment edict. Steel prices are limited by the
same source. A government board alleg-
edly loaded with labor partisans approved
4 iyage increase which is described by
some sources as substantially larger than
frhat the union hoped to get. Then the gov-
ernment took over operation of the mills
when steel companies refused to meet the
bill without assurance of authority to
ehaige higher prices for their products.
* * * *
Secondly, there is the fact that the gov-
ernment has approached this particular
dispute not in its accustomed role as um-
pire hut frankly in a partisan guise as the
ehnmpion of labor. It is election year, you
know.
* * * *
The precedent involved in the con-
troversy is one of the utmost import-
ance. If the government can get away
j with its seizure of the steel mills, then
the government can seize any corner
' store or other business establishment in
; the land under the guise that it is act-
ing for the public’s benefit,
j The process is exactly that which
• was followed in setting up the dictator-
ships in Europe and the Peron regime in
Argentina.
• v /f: y. ://' - ■ y /;/: wm
cate your property.’ Who will be next?
'Those who love the freedom and
justice that has made America a great
nation shuddered. / It is happening
here.’’
• * * *
The steel case also raises a serious ques-
tion as to the value of all emergency gov-
ernment controls. i
If wage ceilings arc to be broken capri-
ciously for political favorites, why should
the average worker and the average small
employer be forced to toe the line knee
deep in red tape?
It is a fairly logicaj assumption that
the great majority of employer-employee
dealings could be settled much more
simply without interference by the heavy
hand of government and without the re-
sulting tendency to dump all problems into
the hands of government.
The value of price controls at this stage
is equally questionable. The easing of
price pressures that has taken place has
been directly the work of the familiar
forces of supply and demand rather than
the result of government controls,
i At times it would seem that the prin-
cipal fruits of the controls system are lush
jobs for additional hordes of bureaucrats,
continued tightening of the heavy hand of
government on everyone and a general
leeling of frustration and futility on the
part of the folks who must try to figure
out the regulations and pay the bills.
* • * # *
Two extremely worthwhile campaigns
are being conducted in Sulphur Springs
just now.
One is the scrap metal collection being
sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Com-
merce.
The other is the annual American Can-
cer Society fund-raising drive being spon-
soied locally by the Rotary club.
As during the war, scrap metal is urg-
ently needed to keep the steel mills roar-
ing full blast. (Truman, Murray, et al
also willing). This is a good time to con-
vert old metal into usefulness and to do na-
tional production a good turn at the same
time.
Everyone is familiar by now with the
great work being done by the American
Cancert Society in conducting much need-
ed research on the terrible ailment and in
educating the public on the nature and
treatment of cancer. A small contribution
will go a long way here toward helping
bring life, health and happiness to one’s
fellow man.

Even in staunchly Democratic Hopkins
county, General Eisenhower is far ahead
of the field in popular esteem.
The results of the News-Telegram and
Echo Presidential poll are typical of those
being shown in all parts of the country.
In practically every official and unof-
ficial test of sentiment, Eisenhower has
ranked far above every other candidate in
popular esteem.
The lone important exception was in
Nebraska where Senator Taft outdistanc-
ed ike in the competition for write-in
votes. Even here the wetback was tem-
pered by the fact that only ballots with
correctly spelled names were counted,
which gave the senator a distinct advan-
tage,
Eisenhower undoubtedly could be
elected President on either ticket. Wheth-
er the politicians will give the people an
opportunity to vote for the man they want
is another question again.
Just now Eisenhower’s election appears
a much easier hurdle than Eisenhower’s
nomination.—FWF.
