14 The News-Review, Roseburg, Or. Tus., Aug. 16, 1949 Demands Increasing Costs Will Be Firmly Resisted, Spokesman "or Employers Warns Printers OAKLAND, CallJ., Aug. 16-(JP An employer spokesman warn ed the International Tvpograpni cal union Monday that any de mand! that will Increase cosls will be resisted flrmlv. Speaking at the r,-enlnu ses sion of the ITU annual conven tion, Thomas P. Henry, Jr., of Detroit, said: "You are going to meet resist ance this year lo anv demand that will Increase costs. "And there Is going to be a good economic report for the firm stand that employers will take. We suggest that you ana lyze this situation yourselves and that you temper your demands out of an appreciation of the sit; uation which our Industry faces." Henry is president of the union employers section of the Print ing ndustry of America, Inc. "I venture to say that no cost increases which occur at this time can be passed on at all," he continued.-"If an attempt In made to pass them on, sales will be lost. Some companies will not be able to cut prices anU the less efficient ones, as alwavs, will have to cut back their operations CARS RECENTLY WRECKED Watch this list for recent additions. 4 '37 Chevrolets '39 Nash '48 Pontiae '39 Ford Truck '40 Ford Truek '40 Chevrolet Truek '39 Plymouth Coup '38 Pontiae '37 DeSoto '38 DeSoto '41 Willys '41 Chevrolet 5 paat.Coupe Many more older model ears DOYLE'S SALES AND SERVICE Highway 99 at Garden Valley Phone 611 sharply. 'Thus, as we see It, the prob lem today is one of continuity of employment and continuity of enterprise In the commercial printing field." Henry urged ITU members to be alert to the economic condi tions which the printing industry faces and to cooperate in every move to strengthen the economic structure of the industry. Tiic ITU, he said, could perform a valuable function by urging its members to increase their pro ductivity on present equipment. New Methods Considered "It is no secret," he said, "that the industry and Its customers are seriously investigating new methods of composition." The Printing Industry of Am erica, Henry said, has not chang ed its views on the Taft-Hartley act nor has it changed its "belief that the position taken by the ITU was unfortunate for our in dustry." "Hut the damage has been done and it would seem wise not to jelabor a point on which each of us has taken such a firm posi tion," he said. "Suffice to say that from our point of view the disputes of the oast two years were a high price to pay. They came at a time when our industry might well have been consolidating its posi tion for the more difficult times ahead." Henry told the convention that the factors which brought about the ITU's greatest growth to a large extent no longer apply. He enumerated these factors: 1. The union's argument that the union printer was better trained and a more reliable craftsman. 2. The union would supply a PAINTS All Kinds PAGE LUMBER & FUEL . 2nd Ave b.

Communism Flows In Asia Because White Race Is Losing Prestige By JAMES D. WHITE Associated Press Foreign News Analyst One of the more thoughtful men I know is a Chinese, born and educated among Americans. A man like that never quite belongs to either world. Life has put him on a fence between the two peoples he springs from. And from that fence he may see things coming before either world does. This man was talking recently! Utah Wattr Project Bill Sent To Prttidtnt WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 tfV The House passed Monday a bill to authorize the $69,500,000 Web er basin reclamation project In central Utah. It passed the bill without de bate or a record vote. The legis lation previously was nassed by the Senate. It now goes to Presi dent Truman. Christian Smuts of South Africa. Here is another man who hat liv ed with the racial problem ail his life. He sees the world as be ing In the middle of a centurv of revolution by the "colored" races of mankind. This Is a rev olution out of backwardness but it also is a revolution among the black, yellow and brown races to get out from under the domina tion of those western races usual ly called white. Thomas H. Lockett. top Am erican career diplomat in the Philippines, said that Asia is def initely on the march. Whether westerners like It or not, he said. Asia feels that colonialism be longs to a dead era. He said the United States would be wise to try to channel popular feeling in that part of the world towards democracy and freedom now, rather than see It stream into communism later. 1 NO BACK BREAKING WHEN YOU USE THE I.

L. L. POWERS about the way communism is sweeping over the land of his ancestors, China. He said: "Perhaps without knowing It, communism has climbed on the Itifjer of latent race hatred in ' Asia. That is it's real threat 10 line world In the long view. . . I That it may be tempted to try what Japan tried and failed to do plunge the world into a rac ial war. "Japan failed because China saw through her flimsv promises of an Asia for the Asiatics, and cast her lot with the west.

White Man Loses Prestige "The thing is," my friend wept on, "communism flows into this Dart of the world because noth ing has replaced the once-great prestige of the white man.

It has to 7 A t.h Am Best b; zt:j sasiire v.w V - - , , . ... satisfy Asia's highly varied peo Dies who today are buying its promises for a better world. "I think communism is too in flexible a doctrine ever to deliver on these promises. When its time comes to put up or shut up, com munism will answer In Asia by Dreaching hatred of the white man. Regardless of Moscow's Dose of racial harmony, the locnl boys will beat the drums of race hatred Just to stay in power. Peo ile will listen then as they listen now because they are poor anJ know there must be something better than what they have. "The danger will be all the greater unless the white man fig ures out some way to do a better Job in Asia than communism," my friend said. This talk took place some months ago, but very recently its viewpoint has been barked up by two interesting sources.
