Today's Roundup
; By MALCOLM EPLEY
XIRTUAIXY every settlement ot ;
V
labor dis
pute is compromise. The two sides hold
out for certain concessions, and finally, when
the chips are down, both find
it advisable to give a little
and thus the middle ground
of settlement is reached.
That was what happened in
the settlement of the AFL
, lumber strike in the Klamath
; basin district. The original
minimum wage was 87 cents.
The union asked for $1.10.
1 Operators came .through with.
. a proposal for $1.3 The union -then
made a compromise, pYtr-
' posal of $1.02 tt) and. that Was -X EPLEY
the figure finally agreed "upon. ' '
Inasmuch as $1.02H; was, the union's own pro
posal, and that was vthe inal settlement, it
looked on the surface that; the union had won
the argument On i the other hand, the, settle-,
mcnt retained'- "the'Warea differential between
pine and fir,-as well as the intra-industry dif-
ferential--between remanufacturing and saw
' milling jobs. Thus. . it appears that both sides
' were willing "to give a little and thus bring an
' end to a costly . stoppage.-. v ;';..;
Stability ThQoal,-
THE northwest council: of the AFL,-.strategy
board for the regional strike, has-indicated '
j it is annoyed at the settlement here. It claims -
the terms of the settlement preclude the union- :
' ists from raising the wage issue again in 1946.;
We. do not find that specifically stated iff the
text of the agreement, but it is true that the.
' negotiators on both sides stated it -was" their
intention that this settlement.should take-care :;
of wage problems in 1946. . -.yiyu' . V. :
That appears to us to be the expression, of a ('
-- -desire to establish stability in labor-management ' .
-.; relations for -the coming calendar year," and
J certainly stability is desirable from the .stand- ".
? point of both the working man and thC"opera- V
J tor. Therefore, we do' not regard thedeclared "f
inieDDon oi me negguatura, as expresaea m-.;
; their' agreement, as necessarily a "concession"
won by the operators. All hands will probably
- - be glad to go through the year without disputes
' t that reach the costly, stage of the strike just
I ended. -- s . .
k Unquestionably! if conditions became such
. that the agreed-upon wage structure was ob-
ltlniielv anH - MtHrtiielw Ant rxr lino 1r turn 1 1 rl risk
possible to open wage discussions. But -it will -
benefit all concerned if the industry can- go
1- through the coming year without further dif- .
" i ficulties,' and that' implied objective- of- the .
negotiators appears to us to be a worthy one.

Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 Mr. . Byrnes avows
the Christmas season peace he made at
Moscow is an excellent compromise of difficult
divergent views a 50-50 settlement. He is
prejudiced. He made the agreement.
To an objective analyst, . the agreement .-resembles
the rabbit stew prepared by Old Trader
Joe out in the Dakotas and sold to the Indians.
One day an Indian complained about the rabbit
stew. He said: -
"It tastes like horsemeat."
"Oh no," said Trader Joe in an Injured tone.
"It has good rabbit in it." '
"But does it have any horsemeat?" asked the
, Indian.
"Only 50-50," conceded Joe.
"Whattayamean fifty-fifty?" shouted the Indian.
"This is horsemeat."' -- '
"Well, if you want to! know;" confessed Joe,
"I always use in each. preparation one rabbit
and one horse." ; , . . , '
For Japan, a nation we conquered and oc
cupied alone, there is to be established a
governing commission of the so-called United
Nations, each with a veto power. We are to
surrender our control to other nations, includ
ing Russia.
. But for the nations Russia conquered and oc
- cupied alone, there are to be no governing com
missions. We do hot have a veto power in
any. Nor does any other nation.

Won "Concessions"
IN Romania and Bulgaria, both enei..
I now in Russian hands.'Mr. Stalin pronuJnW.'d
himself in favor of matters as they now stand,
says our state secretary. But Mr. Byrnes thinks
he won something he considers as "concessions'
bv Russia in Bulgaria and Romania. As re-
sards Bulgaria, the agreement says:
"The Soviet government takes upon itself
' the responsibility of giving friendly advice to
the Bulgarian government. .
.' There it will insist upon some additional
"leaders who "are really suitable" (?) and who
will "work loyally" (!).
As soon as Stalin finds men who are really
suitable and who will work loyally, then, the
United States and Great Britain will recognize
that government but Mr. Byrnes says Stalin
is already satisfied.
' The rabbit is somewhat larger for Romania
"Free and unfettered elections," are advised
there, - "as soon as possible," and the reorgan
ized government "should" mark ydu, need not,
but "should give assurances concerning the
grant of freedom of the press, speech, religion
and association" none of which basic Atlantic
Charter -freedoms- are mentioned for Bulgaria.
Mr.. Stalin' willatlet a threeiation committee
in to see things,, "and allow one representative
of two parties . set into the government some-
-, where.
These are the -hares of Mr. Byrnes' stew, the
-'-concessions'? i. won for our way of life. "Even
the remaining horsemeat is doubtful and vague.
J Korea we splitTvith Russia 50-50. China, we
will withdraw from, leaving Chiang to survive
tommunist revolution if he can.
The conquest of northern Iran by Russia
not mentioned; nor is Yugoslavia, already under
Russian controls.
-..
Free Hand In Japan
MR. BYRNES says General MacArthur will
have a free hand in Japan, but the agree
ment says otherwise. To the United Nations
commission is specifically entrusted all matters
of "politics, principles and standards" which
seems to cover everything. ."" . :
While Russia has but one vote (and Britain
six against our two on the commission), any
nation can veto any MacArthur act in practical
effect, by demanding a "review.'
- Mr. Byrnes forgot to mention that we can
act in emergencies "only following consultation
and the attainment of agreement in the com
mission, even as to "fundamental changes in
the regime of control.'
As for the atomic bomb, Mr Byrnes says we
are to give away no secrets, but the agreement
says the United Nations commission which is to
have charge is to proceed "with the utmost
dispatch" to "exchange basic scientific infor
mation" between all nations, and even provide
methods of inspection inside nations to protect
against violations in the use of the bomb,
A seat for Russia is specifically provided on
that commission, and the commission is to be
set up by the assembly of the United Nation
meeting, in London January 7.
The wording of the agreement, therefore,
naturally suggests Russia would have to get
"basic scientific information" within a few
weeks or a few months at most and a few
days at least, if everyone acts "with utmost
dispatch and inspect our bomb plants.
The Byrnes recipe for peace thus certainly
includes:
The hair of one hare.
' The tail of another.
One horse (with a secret ingredient of bear,
