Halting A Threat To World Trade President Trumati's third major veto in 10 days was ut: :rly lacking in the drama that attended his rejection of the OP tax bill.-which the House failed to muster enough votes ) override, or the Taft-Hartley labor bill, which Congress ;passed by whopping majorities. - 1 Only its opponents got steamed up over the wool price 11, which they, dubbed '.'An act to hinder world trade." No ;tempt was made to override the veto of this measure, for !ae vfcry obvious reason that its support fell far short of the wo-thirds necessary to override. Instead the Senate promptr passed a substitute measure embodying , only the price upport feature which the president said he would approve. But despite the lack of drama which caused these develpments.to be ignored in some quarters, the president's aeon was both significant and justified. It averted a serious treat to our prestige abroad and a body blow to the internalonat trade conference in Geneva. , Under the circumstances, it is well to review the situaion leading up to this veto. The details should warn the imerican people .to be on guard against.a repetition of the henanigans that Congress pulled in the wool price bill, which rould have represented a retreat into economic isolationism. The measure started out rather harmlessly as a subsidy 3 support domestic wool prices. The administration was, and till is, willing to continue such a subsidy,, although from a onsumer viewpoint, it scarcely seems warranted, inasmuch s the nation produces only a third, of its wool requirements. ut upon this support plan was grafted a provision for quoas dr import fees at the president's discretion to 'keep oreign wool from competing with domestic wool. In other rordg, it would have repeated the Republican high tariff misakes of the past. The wool bloc lacked sufficient .strength to put across his clieme. But they picked up sufficient votes for passage 'romother blocs, which expected the favor to be returned

vhen. they sought protection in their own fields. That's the ray pressure groups co-operate. But, fortunately, its viciousness could not be disguised, "t would have made a mpekery of our talk of economic ,coiperation at. Geneva. It was widely condemned as a flagrant isolation of cur reciprocal trade agreements. It was a slap it Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, British dominions which we have been trying to woo away from the empire preference system in the interests of economic internationalism. ., y.. -.. , If Congress had got by wrtK'thisscheme, many nations might have had reason to question our pledged, word or? any

undertaking which conflicted with the interests of domestic

groups. Most oi our ioreign policy might nave been jeop

ardized.

k It is to the credit of the press of America, Republican as

iVelras Democratic, that the bill was roundly condemned. Mr

Truman had all the evidence needed to. justify this veto, and

he acted on that evidence. Despite its lack of drama, this was

one of the mist important exercises of the presidential pre rogative in many years.

Poliiicaf Comment : Organized labor, like the farmer, is learning the hard way that the general apathy in . its ranks on election , day, November 5, 194G and the soothing-syrup assurances of . Republican ..orators that, "we won't hurt anybody" have combined to produce a onetwe punch that may, as boxing parlance has it, "tut LiDor on the ropes." TJnder the caption, "Our Friends, the Republicans," the International Tc(amster, iin its June issue, recognizes that fact an t now becomes aware that the Republican-controlled Eightieth Congress, is "92 per cent against labor.". "The Republican majonV i: Congress." The 'Teamsiei' stiifs ec'!;toriai!y, "appears deta.T.nned to apple labo: "This is the same Republican lr'ajority which assured us last fall that labor had nothing to fear irorri a Republican iotoiv at the polls; that the Republicans wanted public office only to . show . their warm , affection for working people. . "Since then they have been busy removing restrictions from business and attempting to apply them to labor. Business gets less regulation and labor , gets, more. There will be just as many federal , resrictions as' ever but they will be transferred from business 'o labor. That's 'the program of the Republican majority as it uniolds under, the leadership of Senator Taft and Congressman

Hartley. ..

"So far the Republican ma

jority, has shown no intention of dealing honestly with the labor

question! The dual purpose of the Republicans is to embalm labor and embaress the Presi

dent, not to enact legislation of benefit to the country." i Again quoting from the editorial: "Probably the Republicans belive that it will again be possible for them to kid labor into not voting in November of 1948. They may think that labor will again accept the soft words the Republican politicians spread to conceal their evil intentions. We don't think so. No amount of Republican propaganda can explain away the statistics. On the basis of its showing the Republican party is not friendly to labor. It is exactly the opposite. It is 92 per cent against labor. "We wonder what the cam paign orators will say about that, come election time?"

The Picnic Wai a "Hug" Success!

Our local Wild Life League went on a picnic, Saturday, and I went along' to cover it for the Clarion. ? Monday, folks kept stopping me, and saying: "Must have gbtton out of hand, that picnic!" . ' "Nonsense," I says. -"It was ' mighty pleasant and ' congenial.. ; Just beer and hot dogs; cheese and ; cider." And then they show me the. ! headline reading: "WILD WIFE ; PICNIC HUG SUCCESS." . Of course it was Elmer, my type- . setter, who had made the misprints : . But' is my: face red ! It's only be

cause folks are so temperate and well-behaved in our town, that they could afford to take the whole thing as a joke. 0 : . - . From where I sit, even a newspaper editor's entitled to a few mistakes. And since I reported that they served a moderate bev- . erage like beer, I'm sure nobody thinks the. picnic was the least bit wild, or anything but a huge success and' I mean' huge!.

More motor cars and trucks are on the road in the Midwest today than in 1941 and the per car consumption of gasoline is higher. 1 Twice the volume of gasoline is being consumed by tractors on Midwest farms as in 1941. The railroads have four times as many Diesel locomotive units today as they had in 1941. Diesels burn lots of fuel oil. Additional hundreds of thousands of homes, old and new alike, are depending on fuel oil for clean, economical, efficient heat. More planes arrive and depart from Midwest airfields. Every plane has a hungry maw that must be filled with high octane gasoline. It takes a lot of tank cars, pipe lines, arid barges to bring crude oil to the refineries to produce the needed gasoline and oil. Steps taken to increase supplies Thousands of new wells have been drilled and are producing additional supplies of crude oil. Hundreds of miles of new pipe lines are in service. Our ' refineries are producing as never before operating at new high levels. ' ; ' ' Standard Oil's expansion program .'was blue--printed long before there was any break in the; war clouds. It has been driving ahead ever since V-J Day. . Refinery projects already completed have added 13 to our crude-running capacity and other projects now under way, although behind schedule because of shortages of materials, will increase this figure to 27 by next spring. Great progress has been made. But all this is not enough. Why the Midwest feels the pinch Last winter's heavy demand for heating oil caused Standard Oil to makelarge increases in fuel oil yields at the expense of gasoline. As the result of this and heavy gasoline demands this spring, Stand- , ard's available inventories of gasoline at refineries and terminals are 30 below a year ago. Also, in the Midwest transportation is a serious bottleneck. At present there just aren't enough

pipe lines and available tank cars to carry to the Midwest the extra load of crude oil and finished products from distant producing and refining areas. Here again, projects which will help the situation by next spring are under way. How Standard Oil is dandling the situation In the interest of fair treatment of all our customers, we are putting into effect at once an allocation system for the distribution of our gasoline during June, July and August. Throughout these months the total amount to be supplied Standard Oil Agents and Dealers in the Midwest will be approximately equal to what they received in 1946 during the same period. Since gasoline sales are running millions of gallons ahead of last year's, Standard Oil Agents and Dealers, in turn, will be unable to meet an unlimited demand. This temporary allocation system is adopted for your protection. ' We frankly do not know how long this situation . will last. We are laying our plans on the belief that x ' it will continue through August perhaps longer. ' We do not believe the situation is serious enough

to justify the introduction of formal rationing.'

How you may be affected by this situation There may be times when your service station dealer will be out of gasoline temporarily. Even if you are not always able to buy all the gasoline you want, there should be no need for real hardship. Although this is vacation time if folks will take it easy, will reduce unnecessary driving, and not drive at high speeds that consume a lot of gasoline everybody should be able to stay on a fairly normal basis. Nobody needs to become panicky. Hoarding, which is dangerous, would only aggravate the situation. Standard Oil Dealers are cooperating wholeheartedly in this temporary emergency, which there is every reason to believe will not be of too long duration. We earnestly bespeak your cooperation with your favorite Standard Oil Dealer. Both he and we want to see you oftenand for a long time to come. ' - .
