your facta to do cither?
11E'RE all fairly certain by this
If time that if the new world
we are entering 1 to be anything
like we want It to be there must
be LIMITLESS MARKETS for
LIMITLESS PRODUCTION. 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

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.
In 1!.'W. a few years after they
began to take root In scattered
sections, there were 40 plans with

Siege Broken Up
By 'Frisco Police
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.
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

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.
Figures compiled by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of San Fran
cisco indicated there may have
been a turn in what the Federal
Department of Commerce called
a slowdown in savings.
