But the installation of labor-saving ma­ chinery has been consistently op­ posed by organized labor. The latter, therefore, must be won over to the idea that the American standard of living can only be maintained through superiority of American enterprise in mass production; and this superiority can only be created by expanding our man-hour production through labor- saving machines. The recent suspen­ sion of chrome mining operations in the county shows what will be in store for us in the way of foreign competition, unless costs are sub­ stantially reduced by united effort of government, labor and management.

Perhaps it is well that action has been slow, considering the rapidly changihg war picture which makes frequent revision of domestic policy necessary. As usual, Congress is very fearful of the strong pressure groups. It is sen­ sitive to any shifting of the balance of power between the huge opposing groups, such as organised labor vér- sus organized farmers. The subsidy measure, defeated in the House, is about to receive a face lifting in the Senate because propaganda ■ has aroused pressure groups to fly to its defense. There la no danger to America as long as no one pressure group is per­ mitted to capture balance of power, and as long as the free ballot exists.
