v Octobef Charles E. Wilson, pre
.t of the company;; stated that the
-r cent wage increase, demanded
, ,.ie United Automobile Workers,
.oiild lead to a SO per cent increase
in Jh price of cars.
Walter P, Reuther, union official,
nowever, asserted that higher volume
production Would make possible high
er1 wages, lower prices and high and
staoie pronts to stock-holders. He said
that the-company could grant the
warn increase. Cut the iricM nn chav
roleta $100 and still earn "at least
$100,uoo;ooo more than its prewar
1936-89 average of $180,000,000."
Subsequently, the President nn.
pointed, his fact-finding committee,
evidently- thinking that the dispute
should be considered in the light of
the truth. vOi ' falsity of conflicting
statements Inade by union leaders and
company-spokesmen. When this board

stated by its attorney; W admitted
that the company did' not plead in
ability to pay as a reason for reject
ing any wage recommendation but
that the measurement of this ability
involved "forecasts, assumptions, con
sumer demand, both foreign and do
mestic, and uncertain variables as to
material and labor costs" which the
board could not completely determine.
It was also contended, hv fh
pany's attorney, that since this in
formation would be confidential to the
board, neither party would be aware
of the evidence and calculations "upon
which the board predicated its find-J
ings a result not likelv to
coniiaence in the minds of t h a
parties."
Obviously overlooked is the fact
that the refusal of the comoanv to
permit the board to have facts as to
its financial ability to pay is not like
ly to promote confidence in its posi
tion, either by the board or the nnh.
lie. Equally apparent is the fact that
the attorney's statement seems tn
contradict the Wilson assertion' pre
dicting a 30 per cent increase in car
prices u tne union demand is met.
Just how far any union is justified
in demandinjr waste increases is a mut
ter under development but that there
is a aennite, il rather uncertain, re

INDIAN LEADER FLAYS
U. S. ATTITUDE TOWARD INDIA
Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the lead
ers of the Indian Nationalist Con
gress, says that the United Stafen nnd
Russia are struggling for the domi
nant world position and that we are
underwriting the British empire" in
order to have "others line up" with
us in the future that faces the world.
Nehru, we presume, would smo-ppkI-
that the United States line up with
the All India Congress, that if the
nationalists in India are unable to do
anything for themselves that the peo
ple of the United States fight their
battles and that, in the process, we
should willingly alienate the people
most akin to us and most likelv to he
our ally in the event of serious
trouble.
The threat of revolt in Asia is
hurled at the English-speaking peo
ples unless they follow the advice of
Nehru, who says that it "will be a
continuing revolt of millions with a
passion behind it which even the ato
mic bomb will not suDDresa" and that
from it will develop "the third world
war."
We suppose this is calculated to
frighten everybody except Nehru and
his followers. So far as we are con
cerned the time has come for the
United States to stand on its feet and
talk turkey to all the recalcitrant mi
norities and disgruntled peoples in
the world who try to capitalize upon
our love for freedom and democracy.
PEOPLE MISLED IN 1931
TO RELY UPON DISARMAMENT
In 1931. Arthur Hendernon. RritioVi
Foreign Secretary, made a SDeakim?
campaign to support the movement to
reduce military and naval armament
painting a terrible picture of what the
"next war" would be like.
Mr. Henderson Quoted a great, mili
tary expert as saying that in the 1914
18 war, we killed by retail, but in the
next war "we shall do it by whole
sale." He suggested that the next war
would be fought by aircraft "with the
use of poison gas."
The prediction of Mr. Henderson as
to the nature of the "next war" has
not been fulfilled. He was mistaken in
urging his country to reduce its mili
tary and naval strength by working
on the fears of his people as to the
consequences of the struirffle that
might come. He seemed to think that
peace, could be guaranteed by dis
armament and he was not alone in the
belief.
The danger that Mr. Henderson
overlooked, as he persuaded his people
to disarm, has been powerful! v em
phasized in the minds of free people.
While the democracies disarmed, in
the effort to secure a firm peace,
their adversaries stealthily increased
their strength and, at the opportune
moment, launched an attack that all
but engulfed civilization.
We call attention to Mr. Hender
son's speech, not because he'was the
only prominent leader to take this po
sition, but because we happened to
read it recently. There were similar
statements made in this country. In
fact, most of us were somewhat car
ried away by the dream, of a dis
armed and peaceful world. What we
overlooked was the inherent deviltry
of potential enemies who did not hesi
tate to affirm any treaty, although
already determined to wage an ag
gressive war.
The lesson may be helpful if it will
persuade the people of Perquimans
County and others in the United
States, not to be carried away by the
arguments of pacifists who advocate
disarmament as a means to peace. The
method has been tried with friarhtf ul
results.
It is time for us to realize that
when evil men control trovernments
and begin a policy of aggression that
there is only one way to stop them.
It means meeting force with force and
only when the force that is available
to restrain aggression outweighs that
ol the aggressors will there be peace.
TRUMAN GOES TO PEOPLE
IN SPEECH OVER THE AIR
President Truman did not fail to
give his story to the people of this
country in a radio broadcast lact
week, outlining the record of Congress
on suggested legislation.
This address will also review his
entire legislative program, probably
discuss the strike situation and other
wise tell the people of the country
aDout the "state of the Union."
The President has had the coopera
tion of Congress in regard to matters
affecting the prosecution of the war
and, to a large extent, his proposals
in regard to international affairs have
met -with the approval of Consreas.
