TOBIN BELIEVES U. S.
, CAN AVOID CBASH
Geneva, Switzerland. — Seen*
tary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin
told the International Labor Or
ganization that he believes the U.
S. will never again “experience
a major depression such as we
had in the early ’30a. ”
He reported on the economic
health of the United States to
the ILO because he recognized
“the economics ot an our coun
tries are interdependent" and
that, as the ILO says, “poverty
anywhere constitutes a danger to
prosperity everywhere.”
Secretary Tobin said in part:
“We are confident of. our abil
ity to avoid a major depression
because of the great advances
we have made in our social and
economic legislation since 1933.
The supports we put under our
economy in these years stood us
in good stead in 1949. They
will be equally helpful in pro
tecting our economy against seri
ous recession in the years ahead.
They are both a deterrent to de
pression and concrete evidence of
the determination of the Ameri
can people that we shall not have
a reptition of that tragic era.
“We are moving steadily for
ward to strengthen our economy
still further.. In this Congress
we have raised the minimum
wage to 75 cents per hour, or
$30 for a 40-hour week. We are
now in the process of broadening
the coverage and increasing the
benefits of our social security
system. Legislation accomplish
ing this objective will soon be on
the President's desk for signa
ture. The President nas also re
quested action to expand the
coverage and increase the Dene
fits of our unemployment insur
ance system.
“We can now look back and
assess the meaning of the ex
perience of 1949. It was the
first significant test of the sta
bility of the post-w'ar American
economy.
“The question which had not
been answered was whether tho
American economy — transformed
in many ways by the economic
reforms of the past 20 years and
by changed governmental policy
with respect to stabilization of
the econonfy—was now such as
to assure economic stability in
substantial degree.”
KNOWLAND WRECKS
FEDERAL STANDARDS
Washington. — As Ion? as the
United States government has ap
propriated funds for states, busi
ness and the people, it has estab
lished the minimum standards
which must be met before the
money can be used or the rules
under which such sums can be
spent.
In the case of unemployment
compensation, a wiser Congress
than the 81st ruled that no state
could administer these funds in
such a way to force workers to
accept job# at sub - standard
wages and working conditions,
or to act as strikebreakers, or
to penalise workers for joining
a labor union.
That Congress gave lo the
Secretary of Labor the authority
to decide whether these standards
operated and to enforce^ their
operation.
But Sen. William F. Knowland
of California introduced an
amendment to the Social Security
bill which will prohibit the Sec
retary of-Labor from exercising
this authority until after a court
had ruled on hs right. This
could block the operation of U.
S. standards for years.
The purpose of the amendment
is clearly to permit the states to
avoid compliance with the federal
standards.
The Senate adopted the vicious
Knowland amendment which can
be used to break strikes and peo
ple. The AFL is making a de
termined effort to knock the pro
vision out of the conference bill.

TRUMAN URGES BEAT
TAFT AN!) DON'S ELI.
Washington. — President Tru
man believes Sens. Robert A.
Taft of. Ohio and Forrest C.
Donnell of Missouri will be de- ,
feated in November. •
Both are opposed by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
President Truman declared
that the Democrats would, with
out doubt, elect a Democratic
senator in Ohio this fall.
The President’s comment was
made at a news conference in
which he also predicted victory
for hia party in Missouri's sen
atorial fight and repeated that he
expected to do considerable trav
eling when the campaign gets
into full swing.
“How would you vote in
Ohio?" a reporter asked. Mr.
Truman said that he would vote
the straight Democratic ticket.
The President added with a
grin, however, that he was tak
ing part in the Missouri primary
where he has indorsed the can
didacy of State Senator Emery
Allison.
Asked if he thought Mr. Alli
son would win, the President de
clared there was no doubt about
it.
