mtotU&1kto The World Today FRANK JENKINI Editor MALCOLM EPLIY Managing Editor Mambar, Aaaoolatod Praia ' Hambar Audit Buraau. Circulation Today's Round -Up By MALCOLM EPLEY FAIR-MINDED people, seeking to establish straight line of thought on the critical labor situation in this country, are confronted with a vast confusion of emo tions, principles, and informa tion, plus a strong suspicion that a lot is going on under the surface that they don't know about,- Public opinion in this coun try "' unquestionably strongly believes in the right of work- ing people to decent wages and working conditions, and the right of every man to . aiek through everv legitimate means to better his economic EPLEY lot In life. That is all straight American. Strikes, to achieve those ends when they have been denied by more moderate methods, are generally believed justified. We have heard hard-boiled industrialists defend the workers' right to strike for better wages and working conditions, and oppose proposals for outlawing strikes. The public interest demands that every fair safeguard against the extremity of striking should be established, but the actual outlawing of strikes that deal directly with wages, hours and working conditions does not seem to be the answer. a a Different Kind Of Strike THERE occurred the other day an example of another type of strike that arouses far greater concern, among thinking people, than a great strike which is based directly on such matter as wages. ' As the story comes to us, the city of New; York was considering the sale of certain city owned " power plants. The transit workers union (CIO) opposed the sale, which certainly was Its right, but the method it used to express its opposition was most questionable. It threatened a city-wide transit strike, which would have tied up transportation pretty gen erally in the great city. It demanded that the sale of the power plants be submitted to the people for referendum, as the price for calling off the proposed strike. The mayor gave in to the union on this demand. In New York, as elsewhere, the legal pro cesses for requiring a referendum on public action are well established. These are the methods that are open to every citizen or group of citizens. For a union to threaten to tie up a city's transportation system, rather than to use these constitutional methods of appealing to or forcing the hands of the authorities, carries implications of grave significance. We do not believe union members generally, if they fully understood them, would support such' union , actions. This is an illegitimate motive for strike that alienates public opinion from the union cause and creates sentiment for outlawing all strikes, regardless of the worthiness and propriety of their purpose. By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Preis World Traveler MADRID, Jan. 26 W) Generalissimo Franco is quick to combat any suggestion that his government is backward in political reform. As I found during my interview with him In the palace where he resides at El Pardo, near Madrid. Of course the term "backward" is relative. Progress which would seem slow in one country might be regarded as good going in another. Apropos of this matter of speed, I had asked Franco if he was headed for absolute democ racy, that is, rule by the people, and he had replied: . "Yes. But we must proceed slowly step by step until the people are properly pre pared." I introduced the question by saying the im pression abroad, tight or wrong, is that very little has been done towards political reform in Spain a purposely blunt approach to the subject, I suggested that it would be very useful if the generalissimo could clear up this matter. Lived A Great Deal AITH much pleasure," he responded, VV "although it is very difficult for peo ple to be able to interpret the facts about others without knowing the situation and events which went before. The United States is a young and new country in political life. Spain has lived a great deal of political life and lived it very rapidly. "It was almost a century and a half ago that it (Spain) began to adopt democratic forms and it has passed through all the stages: the tran quil stages with two great parties, the following stages when it became impossible to govern because-of the breaking up of those two parties into 15 or 20, the eruption into politics of the working masses and their obedience to foreign commands for the unleashing of social revolu tion. "I am sure that the day on which the United States has passed through these or similar phases, its public opinion will understand per fectly the problems of Spain. Constant Progress INCE our war of liberation (the civil J war of 1936-39) ended, the progress and perfection of Spanish politics have been con stant. For three years the Spanish cortes (parliament) has been functioning without inter ruption. In it the syndicates, the municipal governments and the corporations have their elective representation, and during this time there have been discussed and drawn up with important changes in the original bills a great number of important laws. Some of them, which met with many difficulties, had to be withdrawn by the ministers who presented them. "Recently there has been promulgated the referendum law, in order to effect the direct consultation of the nation in those laws which are transcendent, and there is now in prepara tion the new electoral census which will per mit us to establish the natural play of public consultation."
