We shall see what we shall see in higher courts. the new york Times It is obvious that if this order stands up in the federal courts we shall have entered a new era in which the . . . implied pow ers of the presidency go very far indeed. If the president can take over the steel industry, set the wages it shall pay and govern its right to pay dividends to its owners and interest to its credit ors, he can of course do the same thing in the case of any other in dustry whose product bulks large in the national economy or is of importance to the national defense. WASHINGTON POST President Truman's seizure of the steel Industry will probably go down in history as one of the most high-handed acts commit ted by an American president . OREGON JOURNAL President Truman was right in seizing the steel industry to pre vent the paralysis of production so vital to this country. He had no reasonable alterna tive. Most companies are resuming operations under the presiden tial decree but some are taking their case to court. The U. S. PETRI WINE CO. SAN FRANCISCO.

COOOy OK TOU9H) district court has denied a tem porary injunction. The men are returning to work. But It is a sad commentary on our labor relation and on our government that such seizure ever was necessary. , A settlement could have been made between the steelworkers and the steel industry if there had been a better spirit of com promise. The steel industry Is booming with both government and civilian orders and has been showing heavy profit. PORTLAND OREGONIAN President Truman's denuncia tion of the steel companies in his address accompanying the order to Secretary of Commerce Saw yer to seize the plants in the gov ernment's name was arrogant, abusive and wholly unnecessary. The retiring president now can mark off his political debt to union labor "paid in full." But his caustic, unfair and mislead ing diatribe against the manage ment of an industry on which re armament and the nation's se curity are founded can only coo tribute to disunity and unease throughout the country. The federal administration has no clear-cut authority, either un der the constitution or statute, to take possession of the steel companies. The order is based on the president's proclamation of a national emergency. Decem ber 16. 1930. in relation to the war in Korea, and on the gen eral powers of the presidency. The Smith-Connally act of World War II. which did give the president powers of seizure, has been repealed.
