grab under a vaguely asserted
constitutional power to protect
the national welfare . . . Truman
won the first round. 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.

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.
