industrywhich has so repeatedly set pattern for wageprice rises throughout the econ omyto display atatésmanship and look the national and their own long range welfare by holding the line While takingthia strong position in his news conference the President made clear how earnestly he has tried to keep government out of collective bargaining The Christian Science Monitor com ments He believes that in free econ omy labor and management should maketheir own settlements He watch ed with disapproval federal intervention in labor disputes culminating in Pres ident Trumans seizure of the steel mills in 1952 not he has had to recog nize as he said that the whole public is affected by everything they labor and management do He recognizes too that all the gov ernments efforts to maintain stability by tightening credit and balancing the budget cannot halt wageprice inflation That is why he goes so far as to say there should be no increase in steel prices But whereas in controlling credit and budget the government has taken spec ific steps with wageprice spirals it is still relying on persuasion Only dram atic support by press and public is likely to make it effective with the steel in dustry So far there is no indication that the United Steelworkers will be as reasonable as the United Automobile Workers were in shaping their last contract And al though automation and other gains in efficiency promise good steal profits Immanuel Turn Publicity Spotlight On WagePrice Inflation there is no indication that melanin panieaarcbreparedtcabaorbnewwage

this patternto other industry would boost production costs by 852000000000 If workers and management refuse to hold the line in answer to the Eisen hower plea what else can be done Mr Ecclea urges changes in antitrust laws to curb monopolistic powers in unions Others have said that return to war time wage and price controls might be required Although these are unlikely this year labor and management might well note that increasing impatience with an abuse of power to force wages and prices up is swelling demands for drastic action Additional stepsshart of such mea sures are availableand could be shaped quickly The President mentioned that his Cabinet committee on economic growth has been studying wageprice inflation He could logically empower it or some nonpartisan group to bring in factfinding report on steel wages and prices The record since 1950 is star tling enough but the public should have more information about the current sit uation There is biliin Congress to require public hearings on wage or price rises in concentrated industries All who are uneasy about compulsory controlsmlght well press for tumlng the spotlight of publicity on the major factors in wageprice inflation The Monitor concludes and its observations are no less important in Canada Opinions of Other Newspapers PROUD TRADITION Hamilton Spectator good many policemen we imagine have

of economic and political collaboration would dc Britains bulldog prime min as still inadequate We had to upon the deterrent of the hi lead in atomic bombs held by the USA And in those five years all

the NATO nations urged our governmcnis to act upon the ig nored Canadian Clause In The Declaration of Allende Unity those private citizens urged comprehensive mutual program for long tanfls freeing cur rencies and eliminating trade restrictions so that we might cro ale an adequate economic basis for the Atlantic community and associaled nations Such action it was urged would give or bet ter

Common Market other of our European aillu want to loin that new ec onomic project American con gressmen urge the need for an international conference whose objectives would be time pro bosed in the
