October 22, 1943 uriBSRrS Mr. Bailey' And States' Rights Senator Josiah William Bailey, North Caro lina's contribution to the special interests, is taking the stand in defense of his bill to elimi nate the fire insurance companies from the pro visions of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. He bases his argument on States' Rights. Pos sibly States’ Rights are involved, but, Mr. Bai ley, it is about time to start thinking about the common man’s rights. Mr. Bailey 1 ,.s, and his own record will prove it. come to the aid of States' Rights, the Consti tution and Privilege many times when such ac tion was considered contrary and foreign to the rights of the common man. For instance, Mr. Bailey is now advancing under the banner of States’ Rights when the fire insurance compan ies of this nation are charging their policyhold ers a big billion dollars and returning to them $400 million. No such arrangement can be jus tified under States’ Rights, Big Privilege Rights or any other kind of Rights. And if Mr. Bailey is so interested in States’ Rights why doesn’t he lead the way and throw light on monopolis tic hijacking? Mr. Bailey should know that North Carolina has no regulatory power over most fire insur ance rates, that the people he is supposed to represent are, more or less, at the mercy of the rate fixers. The bill Mr. Bailey spent long hours study ing and linking with States’ Rights could be the same one that Senator Burton K. Wheeler re fused to introduce. It was apparently too hot for Wheeler, but just to Bailey’s liking. Give the insurance companies their dues, but don t rob the helpless to increase the fabulous weaiih of the owners. Tlit1 Hying Senators ‘ a, Completing a 40,000 mile flight to most of the major fighting fronts, five United States sena tors were upon their return dubbed the “Fly ing Senators.” Now it appears some of them are about to be dubbed the “Lying Senators.” In tentionally or unintentionally, some of the group are stirring; up the waters without due regard for the consequences. When on<> says that we have shipped thirty-odd thousands of trucks to Australia he overstates the number by sev eral thousand and ignores the fact that they were ordered there by General MacArthur. When one says the United States is being “suck ed’ out of its oil, he does not weigh all the fac's. When another says that a base in Siberia would save a millon American lives, he does not stop and think that Russia is not at war with Ja pan, that Russia is entertaining two-thirds of the German hordes is almost certainly saving American lives on other fronts. He does not stop and think that there is some doubt if the United States, once the Siberian bases were oc cupied, could hold them just now. He does not stop and consider the possibility that with a full and considerate understanding now? the estab lishment of banco in Smeria would in all pro bability follow in due time, No, the wise and ap parently ali-selfish guys want to create strife : ■jjm.ffc hon Allies then..condemn them for not being friendly and cooperative with us. Another senator declares that all we are get ting in exchange from Russia for Lend-Lease the privilege of-repairing oar damaged ships in Russian harbors. We are fighting a common rM—. dollarrm the fight it that that ally is doing more than its share. But still we apparently are not satisfied. We want to lend a dollar and get the dollar back with interest with a humble note of thanks. As long as we can send supplies to Russia and lose nothing more than material goods, we say let them go. We’ll trade material wealth for the safety of American fighting men any time and in any quantity. It was hoped that the American senators would while on their trip recognize the deep facts as they relate to human life and future peace. But, alas, they came back home with the dollar mark tied to their thoughts. sno cuui i.. (, d 111 di is only reasonable to see 1 An Admiral Advise* Fellow Doctors -# Labor. Admiral Ross T. Mclntire is surgeon gener al of the navy and also personal physician to President Roosevelt. Of course, he stands high in the medical profession. Addressing an audience of physicians at Washington a few days ago, the admiral urg ed that the doctors themselves “work out some plan that would allow no one to suffer and at the same time preserve the independence of the profession.” He contended that the family physician’s fee “doesn’t amount to two hoots” in a medical case. The main difficulty is that hospital and labora tory charges are so high as to be beyond the reach of ordinary Americans. He expressed the greatest confidence that if the doctors would approach the subject with open minds, a scheme satisfactory and fair to the profession and its patients could be formulated. The doctors should heed the admiral’s ad vice. If they don’t, “state medicine,” or what ever you like to call it, will be put over by a people determined to secure decent medical treatment at a reasonable price. High Salaries There appeared recently in public print, a list of high salaries, but, strange as it may seem, the hundreds of thousands of dollars received by some did not occasion a single comment the commentators. The $75 received by a tew common workers has been advertised to the world, the labor-baiters using the lowly figures to create dissension and to paint a picture of something that just ain’t. A feeble defense of the two-, three-, four- and even nine-hundred thousand-dollar salaries was offered by one man who pointed out that taxes entered the picture later. The argument is rec ognized, but the basic fact remains unchanged; it is far easier to live on $100,000 after taxes than it is to live on $30 a week after taxes. And it seems that those who have fought in creases in the little man's wages are the same guys who have had their salaries increased by the hundreds of thousands. And to add insult to injury, these same high salaried guys are the ones who are crying that only a sales tax will save the world. I assure you that, behind our tears, is a firm resolve to dig in all the harder—and, when vic tory comes, I will know that my boy did not die in vain.—James L. Mahoney, of South Boston, Mass., in a letter to Democratic Leader McCor mack, telling of his son’s death in action. u so Serving the Services More than 5,000,000 men and 9Cir,en of our fighting forces lock to the US0 every month for off-duty rec reation, comforts and welfare.
