Acfdiess all communications to The Enter prise and not individual members of the firm. Tuesday, February 26, 1946 Caught Some of the big shirt manufacturers have been caught with vast stocks of shirts in their warehouses, the number of shirts stored run ning into the millions. Now the manufacturers are on the spot. They are earnestly in favor of lifting price controls, but if they preach that doctrine now they real ize they’ll be censured when inflation grabs the nation by the tail and starts wagging it. A spokesman for big business, his eyes glued on immediate mark-ups and bigger profits, are advising the manufacturers to stick by their guns and take an open stand for the lifting of price controls. The spokesman, heard through the Industrial News Review, advises the manu facturers to declare that price control jeopard izes freedom of religion and freedom of speech, to say nothing of freedom of enterprise. It apears that some of our big business lead ers who are always harping about free enter prise are ready and willing to sell the country short to get some greedy manufacturers out of the hole. Well, if price control is turned back into the hands of big business monopolies, and the public's savings are wiped out by inflation which is certain to come as a result of such ac tion, free enterprise will be dealt a stinging blow in the depression period that will almost certainly follow. Quite a few manufacturers have complained about price controls and spilled crocodile tears in the sight of the public, declaring they are los ing money on this or that item. And, yet, some of those weeping and complaining manufactur ers are making sc mucn money tnat tney spend the other half of their time crying over the amount of income tax they have to pay. If anything is wrong with our economy it is the big dog who wants everything for himself.

And while that somebody is busy at the task our diplomatic machinery apparently remains stalled. Russia is charged with trying to steal the atom bomb secret, and because of that alleged attempt some arc declaring they are ready for I war. If Russia held the secret, the United States would be foolish to sit idly by and let her keep it. And if Russia had the secret and we had been caught trying to steal it, we wouldn’t have thought the act so terrible. Recognized leaders outside the political cir cus ring advanced the opinion that it would be advisable to share the secret. We hardly know which course it would have been advisable to follow, but we are of the opinion that we would be better off with the secret in the hands of a friendly ally, than we would be to make an enemy of an ally and then let the ally either steal the secret or develop the weapon itself. Apparently some of our leaders haven’t real ized that the way to peace and the way to main tain the peace is through cooperation and friendship. Not only do they fail to realize just that, but they also fail to realize that certain actions can make enemies out of friends. It is to be regretted that news of such activi ties has to find its way to the public through private and unofficial sources when a frank and true statement from high officials would have cleared up the mess and erased cause for a lot of hasty talk and conclusions. Congress Ralph W. Page, newspaper columnist, recent ly sized up the Congress when he said: It is time for the American people to direct their concentrated attention to Congress. Con gress consists of citizens sent to Washington by communities to frame the laws of the country. These men are charged with the duty of con ducting national affairs with efficiency, intelli gence, order and dispatch. That is all they are there for. The fact is that it has grown into a fumbling disorganized conglomeration, operating under suchan accumulated crust of rules and privi leges that it is incompetent to perform its func tions. What difference does it make how old you are? You are as young as your mind is eager for the youth of further seeking.
