M A AG ELECTED William H. Maag of Mill City, has I shall pick a few choice quotes which will give you some idea of what the been elected to membership in the steel companies are trying to do. This American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' quotation is rapping the senators for association at Chicago, announces Secretary Frank Richards. failure to pass the Baruch plan: “. . . and some of the steel moguls now talking about the dangers of in­ flation, which are real, were not here , when a relatively small group of sen­ ators were fighting for the adoption of the Baruch plan, which would have frozen prices and wages, established credit controls which really would have been a check upon inflation, and would have resulted in fiscal policies I on the part of the government which j really would have had an effect in checking inflation. . . . “Had we adopted that plan, I think that by today we would have saved the American taxpayers a minimum of $14,000,000,000 which have now gone down the inflation drain, wasted be­ cause there were too many groups who were more interested in ‘getting theirs while the getting was good,’ and who were willing to profiteer at the expense of blood being spilled in Korea. “In the Johnson subcommittee of the committee on Armed Services an opportunity has been afforded to look into the matter of profits of u large number of corporations that have been making an economic killing out of the defense program. The profits are much higher than they were at the height of World War II. I say that is shameful." ♦ ♦ « Net Profils Reported titer Taxes— Steel Industry (In millions) 1939 1945 1951 U. S.

You will note that Kaiser is the only steel company that did not in- crease its profits. Several more com- panics not listed here show profits have doubied and in some cases multi­ plied ten times. Is there any reason then that Big Steel must raise its prices in order to pay increased wages to its men? * ♦ ♦ When Senator Morse discussed the profits of the steel companies this is what he had to say: ", . . . prepare to weep, for you should feel sorry for these steel companies. They are mak­ ing tremendous sacrifices for their country in the midst of a war; they are bleeding economically for the boys who are dying in Korea -in fact, in 1951 they did so to the tune of at least $596,000,000 of profits, after taxes, including excess-profits taxes. Mr. Randall forgot to tell the Amer­ ican people that.” "But it takes a lot of brass to prop­ agandize the American people about the need for a $12-a-ton increase in price, when in 1951 profits after taxes were in the neighborhood of $596,- 000.000." • * * Where is the patriotism of Big Steel when you see the thousands of dollars it spends on full nage advertising and radio time to beat down the working men and rob the consumer with higher prices?
