Ob viously If modern Industry'! vast capacity to produce I to be ab sorbed and consumed, the masses of the people must be enabled to buy Its products. But how are we to bring that about? By high wages? Or by low prices? Either way will work If we can keep the rate of exchange of goods and services EQUAL among all kinds of people. NEITHER way will work If we DON'T keep the rate of exchange more or less equal. HOW are we to know which way ts best? . Industry says low prices later on. Labor says high wages now. Both produce Impressive fig ures to prove their points. IINFORTUNATELY, we're U coming to he distrustful of figures especially the other fel low's. Some cynic, quite some time ago, upset us by observing that "flggers don't lie, but liars flgggcr." Experience has taught us that there is a certain amount of truth in the wisecrack.) THE best way, of course, would be to try everything, keep the good and discard the bad secure In the knowledge that In the long tun what is good for ALL of us Mill be good for ANY of us. In THAT way, wa could build on a solid foundation the kind of world we all want to live In. It would take time. And TOT, ERANCE OK THE RIGHTS OK OTHERS. But it would WORK! IT WOULD be quite easy IF We could only bring ourselves ALL of us to apply to the so lution of the seemingly hopeless tangle of problems that confront us (which, after all, are merely problems In human relationships) the simple principle of the Gold en Rule: "Do ye unto others as ye would that others shall do un to you. THE difficulty that lies In the I way of adoption of the prin ciple of the Golden Rule as the formula for the solution of our problems is the TRAGIC fart that cynics have convinced us that it Is Idealistic and impractical. It ISN'T. Sound business men, In con stantly growing numbers, are learning by experience that a contract that is fair to both sides is apt to be more profitable In the long run than a contract that gives all the benefits to one party. . .

INCOMPLETE By Charles V. Stsnto. Press associations and newspapers, fn our opinion, are making a gross error of omission in reporting current labor difficulties. When we read of controversies between Labor and Management the report, invariably, mentions only the wages. But pay increases seldom are the paramount point of disagreement. Nearly every prolonged strike has resulted from some factor, other than 'wages, concerning which negotiations bogged down. Pay increases usually have been agreed upon with but little persisted for weeks, failure to resulted from argument over of pay. The recent lumber strike good example. While A. F. of for several weeks, the C. I. without work stoppage. ' The that it was not a matter of wages which stymied negotia tions. The chief point of controversy was demand for an industry-wide contract But from reports carried in the daily press, a casual reader would believe that wages con stituted the only issue. The recent newspaper strike in Seattle concerned form of contract rather than rate of pay, but we saw no mention of that fact in strike reports. Working conditions, travel time, hours, vacations, by laws, and numerous other matters, aside from wages, enter into contracts between Labor and Management, but it is seldom the general public ever hears of any subject for debate other than wages. A wrong impression; therefore, often results. For this the press is to blame. We are reading a great deal today about the President's proposal for "fact-finding" commissions. Corporations and unions alike have rejected the plan. To the casual observer it would appear that corporations have something to hide in refusing to open their books for inspection. But the President predicated his fact-finding solution upon the "ability to.pay" theory. Application of "ability to pay" to establishment of wage standards is desired neither by Management nor by sober leaders of Labor. Let's examine into the theory as it would operate, using as an example the steel industry, in which labor controversy now is attracting attention. The steel industry is firmly established in the East Here on the West Coast we are endeavoring to break the steel monopoly. We have a small steel industry in the making. The steel industry of the East, obviously, would, because of its solidly entrenched position, have ability to pay much higher wages than would a new and struggling West Coast industry. Steel workers would gravitate to the East, where higher wages were obtainable. Thus the program for decentralization of industry, creation of more jobs, and Um'fg of monopoly would be defeated..' i . "Following the "ability to pay"' theory through to the final result of its operation, it becomes apparent that it would tend to centralize industry and business into a few hands. Monopoly would be encouraged rather than dis- couraged. Growing public dissatisfaction would crystalize eventually into demand for seizure and socialization of highly centralized business and industry. Coupling promulgation of the President's proposal with the long-time trend of the administration toward state socialism, it is not difficult to determine the source of the President's inspiration for his fact-finding boards. We need more complete public understanding of the problems of Labor, industry and business. This process of education is a responsibility of the public press. News papers generally are dependent upon their press associations for the news they publish. The responsibility of the press in this connection we believe, has been grossly neglected. Voluntary Illness Insurance Now Carried by Thirty Million Americans, Statistics Show By WILLIAM J. CONWAY AP Newsfeatures Writer. CHICAGO. Approximately 30 million Americans now have some kind of voluntary, pre paid protection against the costs of ill ness. C. Kufus Rorem, director of the American Hospital Associa tion's Blue Cross Plan Commission, supplies statistics on the extent and expansion of voluntary systems at a time when Congress Is con sidering President Truman's proposal for a national health program that Includes compulsory Insurance against the expenses of sickness. Rorem, In figuring at least 30 million persons are participating In voluntary health prepayment programs, submits these esti mates: Blue Cross plans for hospital care have an enrollment of more than 20 million, while medical service plans coordinated with them have 2,164,000 members. Croup Insurance, Too Commercial Insurance com panies cover six million or seven million through group hospitali zation policies, and approximately half of these policies include medical or surgical coverage. Industrial and cooperative med ical services -such as railroads and plants with their own doc tors or contracts with private physicians -take care of two mil lion or three million workers and their dependents. Health and accident Insiirnnce Is curled by additional millions Id provide Income during dis ability, and at least three million of trie policies Include hospital and medical benefits. System Expands Rapidly The Blue Cross hospital plans -non-profit corporations sponsored by citizens, hospitals and the inentcai proicssion nave ex panded rapidly.

UP) Police dispersed a large crowd of would-be butter buyers swarming around a wholesale butter company yesterday after the company had been forced to halt its retail sales as a conse quence of OPA orders prohibit ing retailing by butter whole salers. As early as 6:30 A. M.. crowds bega Into gather at the store, which has been selling butter on Tuesdays and Friday at the rate of S pounds to a customer. There was a sign on the door yesterday morning stating that sales at retail were prohibited by the OPA. The crowd wouldn't leave, so the company called po lice. William Hadeler, secretary of the California Retail Grocers and Merchants Association, said the OPA order would correct "a dis graceful method of distribution." Kenneth R. Hammaker, district OPA director, issued the order yesterday. "This," he said, "will put the butter back In the retail stores where it belongs." The order was the first action of its kind In the country. Time Deposits Hit New High in Western Banks SA NFRANCISCO, Jan. 16. UP) Savings deposits have re sumed the sharp rise they were making in Pacific slope banks be fore reconversion brought a slow down. Time deposits, another name for them, hit a new high record of $2,030,000,000 in 31 far west ern banks last week. That was a 1946 gain of $19 million over the final 1945 figures. Those 31 banks are located in seven cities Los Angeles, Seattle, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma and Spokane.
