A wonderful bird is the pelican There is a well-known little verse about the pelican and his gift for gobbling up more than he can swallow. A parallel is the UAW'-CIO demand for higher wages Jrom General Motors, For General Motors' wages are already high. ; fact, in the last peacetime year, the income of the average CM worker jell in the top third of all incomes in the United States. Vl'e believe in high wages! Rut we also believe that when wages are already high, the question arises whether further cost reductions that management can bring about mny not well be used to lower prices or improve products. Lowering prices or improving products benefits everybody. Customers get more for their money. The company's business grows. And the growing business is able to employ more and more people. Wider employment serves the national welfare and should be a primary objective of all of us. Unfortunately, many people are too apt to place their own interests above the national welfare.
