Taft for the Pact

SEN. TAFT'S support for a North Atlantic security pact along the lines of the Rio inter-American defense treaty should put the discussions back on a firm basis. * Even those who do not always agree with the Senator respect his critical judgment and his care for the Constitution of the United States. He has been tagged in the past "as a semi-isolationist. Though that may have been as undiscriminating as such tions ave apt to be, it is true that he has been more hesitant about international commit» ments than many of his colleagues. That makes his present position all the more impressive. With the admirable frankness which the public has come to expect °f him, Sen.

Youth Facing Job Handicaps

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 — America’s most:

important people don’t hold the best jobs. In fact, many of them don't have jobs. Yet all we Have and hope for depends on them, our young people. : : ‘They are destined to carry the heaviest load

gest for them and for us all, This decision is how to get started—that is, how to find a job with a future. The kind that will Jet them get ahead, and make good to the point where they can run the businesses and pay the taxes our heavy spending and big debts require. Our young people in their first jobs have to make good or we're all sunk, So. this question of getting started—so vital to them and their families—is really our chief domestic problem. . Well, there are a lot of jobs these days. They are better paid than ever before. On the surface, it looks easy to get going. In some ways it is. But once started, it's growing harder to get ahead. We of the older generation have been setting up obstacles to the progress of the young. }

Heavy National Debt

FOR one thing, we have given our young men the greatest inheritance of debt ever passed on to a new generatiofi. Théy, their sons and thelr 222 sons must. work all their lives to

This debt will forever be their invisible companion. It will dip into their envelopes on every payday. It will raise the price of everything they buy, We complain about our own taxes, but what about the ones we are passing on to the youngsters? Many other things we do handicap the young much more than they do us who are older. Such things, for example, as imposing the ¢losed shop on them. The closed shop is one of the biggest barriers against the young worker trying to get ahead. Yet we talk of it only in terms of how it affects the employer and of the so-called security it gives the worker—that is, the older man who already has a job in a closed occupation. But the biggest question is the handicap this system imposes on the young man trying to enter one of those occupations. The young man who rightfully hopes to rise through it, and perhaps through other occupations, until he finally can work to the top, Unless young men

BUT you can’t do that under the closed shop.

You can’t try this and that. It makes jobs

artificially hard yo get. You have toc get into the uniom—often through an apprenticeship. That-frequently-means low wages for a period far longer than a bright or industrious boy needs to learn the trade. Restrictions are imposed—not actually to help the apprentice, but ,Yo protect older workers against the competin of alert, ambitious youths. And, once in the trade, the worker is pretty much frozen there. He can't easily switch to a job that looks more desirable, and for which he knows he is qualified. For that involves the ticklish task of getting into a new union. So there isn’t much switching in closed-shop fields. Worse still, the young worker often bumps into restrictions on his industry and ambition. He finds he isn’t supposed to do too well or too much. This stifies ambition and drags him toward the dead level of mediocrity. ~The Court; incidentally, helped this condition along by ruling that merit raises are a part of collective bargaining—in other words, that the union bosses have a voice in them. It threatened the employer with penalties for an unfair labor practice if he followed the natural, and fair, inclination to give a raise to a partciularly good worker.

Help Get Started

THE union shop—which would let a boy land a job before he had to join a union—would help him get started. Recognition of fair incentive pay for good production would help him get ahead. So, every day, we pile up new burdens for the beginner to carry. And impose new handicaps which will make it harder for him to do so. We do it out of the selfishness of the older generation—not realizing that some day all we have will depend on whether the young man or woman now at the bottom has had a decent chance to work to the top. *

‘Equal Protection of Law’

By J. F. Frantz, 750 Ketchan St. The rent control law authorizing private rights in property for private citizens is ih error, There can be no question on this. It does conflict with our Constitution. When this law is executed it is to deprive the citizen of his public liberty and his private right of property which lie as the very foundation of our form of free government. To promote the interest of the private citizen in private property is in its essential character to mean a private advantage in pri. term “general welfare” as this is not a public object, and the results do not justify the use of public money raised by taxation to compel a humble citizen to give up his civil rights and private property under a law in which the government is the legal supervisor over the private

—property-of the citizen. Under our form of gov-——

ernment nothing would be more dangerous. This unjust interference of private citizens against each other in legal conflict over the rights of private property is so strange and shocking to our ideas of justice. All citizens re. spectively should inherit the equal protection of the laws. This must be our first concern.

What Others Say—

EVEN in the field of national security, the area of secrecy must be absolutely limited to the necessities of security. “Hush” is a powerful word. It is an insidious word because, unless checked, it has an ivy-like tendency to grow and cover ever more and more territory.—Sen. Brien McMahon (D.) of Connecticut, chairman, Joint onal Atorle Easy Committee.

WE need to stress more the fundamental purpose and function of the family—that of continuing the race, both biologically and culturally. The Hollywood conception of marriage and the family constitutes too much of our thinking. Marriage is not merely romance but responsibllity.—Dr. James H. 8. Bossard, psychology professor, University of Pennsylvania,

THERE'S really no such thing as a happy lover. He may be satisfied, but he's not happy. The mere state of being in love automatically means you are unhappy.—Dr, H Ss. ) Hollywood psychiatrist, ne Seger ® ¢ THE real, the threatening danger to this republic lies in the lack of vigilance on the part of its citizens—a lack of knowledge of what, or Indifference to what, their Executive and their Congress are doing.—Rep.

that certain of the President's closest advisers see the Wallgren-

row.

The first chairman of the newly created Security Resources Board was Arthur M. Hill, who resigned on Dec. 15. Mr, Hill,

~ head of the Greyhound Bus Co., was considered by some in the

White House to be under the domination of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal.

A KS HTNGTON, Web, P3NVer fice VY Da, § Ha 6F 61a |

MR. FORRESTAL had proposed that Mr, Hill's office; as head

of the new board, should be mear his in the Pentagon. It was suspected that Mr. Forrestal wanted to thake the NSRB, with its far-reaching assignment looking to the integration of industry and natural resources for national defense, into a sideshow of the military. Therefore when Mr. Hill resigned, after 15 months as chairman, the determination was to get a man for the job who would be independent of both military and big business control. As part of the process of freeing the board from the dominating influence of the Forrestal-Pentagon axis, the board's offices had been moved to the old State Department building next door to the White House. e The President himself selected his friend, Mr. Wallgren, fo tha§14.000 chairmanship, They had served together on the Trum&h War Investigating Committee and, as Mr. Wallgren put it,

his great and good friend was drafting him to do the same kind

of searching inquiry in the present period that is neither peace nor war. But, as Mr. Wallgrén showed on the witness stand, he knows little about the organization of American industry either in war or in peace. In fact, it was difficult to discover what the former governor from the state of Washington did know.
