Gallup Poll Shows 67 Per

Cent of Public Willing to

Accent Strict Control Plan, Similar to Drastic New Canadian Law.

By GEORGE GALLUP : s Director, American Institlute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON; N. J., Nov. 10 ~—Canada is. scheduled to put into effect next Saturday a price and’ ‘wage. fixing pro‘gram of the most far-reaching character. It is a policy hich the majority of voters in the United States believe

should be adopted in this country. Economists disagree among themselves as to: the wis-

dom ‘and practicality of economic controls, and Congress|

hesitates to act on price fixing for fear of antagonizing special groups, In the last analysis the issue boils down to the

question—are the American “|people willing to accept a price-fixing ‘and wage-fixing program; or do they consider it too revolutionary to

The public is more willing to accept wage and price control than has commonly : been supposed. That is the evi-’ dence from a series of nation~ wide polls by the

est of : which was: completed this week. Wage control is acceptable to: the public for one chief reason—nearly two-thirds of the wage and salary earners say

‘|they ‘are satisfied with their pres-|E

ent, rate of

earnings. | To determine the attitude of

wage and salary earners toward the principle of wage-fixing and price-

{fixing, ‘the. Institute conducted «

poll among that group on the question: ; “A new ‘law in Canada keeps

‘| prices from going higher than they

are now and also keeps wage and salary rates from going . higher. Would you approve or disapprove

of such a law in the United Sates?”

The result follow:

The vote represents the attitude of wage earners. However, the results for the entire nation, with all groups combined, are substantially the same. “As one way to prevent prices

{ [from going up rapidly, would you

be willing to have the Government keep your wage (salary) rate where it is now, if the Government also ps the prices of the things which

The Institute’s questioning of a cross-section of the wage earning

} population reveals that a majority

of union menibers, as well as wage earners generally, consider ‘present

i |lwage rates fair.

This is an indication that the wave of strikes in the. defense in-

{dustries apparently does not spring

fro any widespread discontent with \present wage levels among the rank and file of labor. ‘The general attitude of the majority is revealed in the survey on the question: “Do you consider that you are now being paid a fair wage (salary) ?”

LABOR UNION MEMBERS Consider Wage Fair

ALL WAGE EARNERS Consider Wage Fair.: Consider Wage Unfair Undecided ‘3 Similar studies among Ye “farm population indicate a different ‘attitude.. When a , cross-section of farm voters was asked in September whether they thought the price for their chief cash crop was fair, 52

per cent replied in the affirmative,

while 34 per cent said it was not fair, and 14 per cent were undecided. . Quite apart from the effect of ‘wage or price control on the individual pocketbook, the public has various other reasons for favoring or opposing the program. The viewpoint of those opposed can be summarized -as follows: “A control program like this simply would not ‘work. The economic system cannet be run half free and half slave. If we regulate wages and prices we've got to regulate every last detail of industrial life. No man or bureau or Government agency is wise enough fo undertake such a task.” In the minds of voters who fa-
