Jriimi The Russians Wouldn't Get It We talk of those Russians bcinj. difficult to understand. But there are some things our totalitariar neighbors would never be able tc understand abiut us. They jus1 would not get it. The way we ar gued and fussed over the labor bil Congress just passed, for example Then when the bill became law we all settled down to see if we can abide by it. This is what we call majority rule, through the elect ed representatives of the people. In our kind of set-up, people ar< given credit for being able to thir.: for themselves. Facts are easy '.< get hold of. Viewpoints may Lt freely expressed. We make u our minds, and our representative at the seat of government try l carry out our wishes. Things d< not go like this in the totalitariar countries. Such questions woulc never be placed before the people in the first place. Regardless o? everything else, the will of the dictator would prevail. Lahor Shows Spirit Organized labor, in its attitude toward the Taft-Hartley Bill, ha? demonstrated the manner in whict the "people's mandate" is accepted in a land where laws are determined by the will of the majority, but where all minorities are respected. The bill was the most controversial legislation to come up in years. Much feeling was developed Lobbying was everywhere. Yet, when the labor bill became law over the President's veto, ano when the President had stated thab he'd sincerely enforce it and not sabotage the law, the top leaders of labor affirmed there would be nc general protest strikes. Rightly, they declared they would test it ir the courts, where laws should be tested. If the legislation is in error, time will tell. In the' true Amer ican tradition of fairness and jus ?|M ? iv.c, v*c aic cxwuiiiKig me proving and testing of the new law. The Way It Works Now, I would like to say that the whole nation's economy is the direct result of this sort of thing. We may not like the decision of the majority, but .wttga along and make It work. We banlelon the majority being right. We are willing to let the majority, through our elected representatives, write the laws. Economics used to be a big word. Blow, nearly everybody understands > it to mean the way we use" our resources and consume our wealth. This Includes production, buying, and selling. It includes the activi-1 ties of labor and of management. Traditionally, in this country, we | have allowed our economy to re-1 main free of artificial barriers which would hamper its natural laws, like that of supply and demand, for Instance. The important thing,is: free trading and buying and selling (that is. an economy which freely belongs to the people), works best when we have a truly representative govern ment. They go hand in hand. Tyrants and dictators never let these things go free. A restricted economy and a non-representative government, you'll find, are always part and parcel of the totalitarian method. This method never pays high wages. In America we have a great land. T^e pay the highest wages men ever earned.
