Lumber Industry Threatened with"Soczahzation'
J
(EDITORIAL)
HE early New Deal tried to pay some of our citizens for not raising,
not growing, Or not producing so that we would all have plenty and
prosperity. The present administration is still of that frame of mind,
and they seem never to learn from lessons of the past.. President Tru-
man recently stated that wages could be still raised considerably, without
increased prices and still leave profits. They settled the steel strike by
an increase in wages and then allowed a boost in steel price, which is a
burden on every one of us. They have experimented in food, textiles,
automobiles, electrical appliances and now seek to salve the plywood
industry by subterfuge in which pricing officials hope to escape re'alistic
evaluation of costs and prices.
If the wages of American' workmen are to be increased, money to
pay such mr/st ome from the business of their employers. If the profit
system is to continue, there must be allowance for a decent margin of
return after expenses are met. The continual upgrading of one branch
of our economic life with its burden to the man who pays the bills, without
allowing him price increases to pay increased costs and make his profit,
cannot go on forever, and if it does a big smash is certain.
The subsidy is an old "fooler" that government has used to smooth
Over rough spots of our "economic ills,, without any attempt being made
to CUre the disease. The government now wants the plywood industry
to make drastic production shifts to turn out types of panels needed for
the G-I Housing program. When asked by the Civilian Production Agency
Several weeks ago to abruptly change manufacturing schedules to pro-
ide maximum volume of so-called "Housing Grades," fir plywood pro-
: Ucers willingly agreed provided a fair price is permitted for the items
desired. O.P.A., however, refuses an adequate price for the grades of
plywood involved and now proposes that plywood firms produce the panels
at a loss, the loss to be made up by government subsidies, or the use of
government tax industry to cover the floundering of our national officials.
Thomas B. Malarkey of Portland, chairman of the softwood ply-
wood advisory committee to O.P.A., has charged and attacked as "un-
sound and a waste of tax dollars" the O.P.A. plan to subsidize their
healthy industry rather than permit "adequate" prices for the material.
His statement is the initial public announcement that plywood has been
singled out by the governmen as the first building materials industry
slated for subsidies. The proposal has every earmark of a plan to social-
ize and put the government into the whole business of building materials.
Here, according to the industry.committee spokesman, is what's
wrong with the subsidy formula, and therein lies the danger to our whole
American system of free enterprise:
"1. Subsidies, in effect, place a premium on inefficiency. They strike
at the heart of the genius of American industry--" the incentive to pro-
duce more at lower cost.
"2. The principle of subsidizing plywood, manufacturers is basically
unsound; the plywood industry is healthy and, given a reasonable price
for its products based on current manufacturing conditions, needs no
governmental pampering. If any subsidies are paid, they should go to the
returning GIs.
"3. The difference between an adequate price for housing grades of
plywood and the figures proposed by OPA would increase the over-all
cost of a $6,000 prefabricated home only about $25 or add but a few dol-
lars to a conventionally-built structure. Is it logical, then, to deny this
adjustment and, instead, invoke the unprecendented peace-time mesure
of subsidy?
"4. Subsidies would involve government in the manufacturing busi-
ness to an extent never known before in peace-time. If these special
payments are established, I can see no end to the difference arising
between government and industry in reaching a determination of loss
and costs. "
"5. If the cost of plywood production is underwritten, it is logical
to expect the government to move to subsidize every component of the
building materials industry because there are acute shortages of many
other house parts arising from parallel conditions."
Softwood plywood is used for many parts of both conventionally-
built and prefabricated houses as well as for many industrial applications.
Because the national housing effort is aimed at a maximum number of
homes of both types, manufacturers and CPA officials alike are striving
to boost output of the housing grades, now virtually non-existent because
ceiling prices long have made them loss items.
"OPA's unrealistic attitude has forced panel manufacturers to-
continue making thick panels previously needed for war and now suitable
only for •industrial uses," Malarkey commented.
The fir plywood makers (there are 33 mass-production factories
in Western Oregon and Washington producing two-thirds of the nation's
panels) pride themselves in having built their 40-year.old industry to
its present capacity of two billion square feet annually without govern-
mental help--and on peacetime business alone. Although the entire out-
put of plywood went directly to military throughout the war, the industry
was reared to its present size prior to Pearl Harbor.

building materials industry and a
proposal which President Truman
called "the heart" of his housing
program. The vote showed that
congress is definitely opposed to
creation of the same confusion in
the materials industry as subsidy
payments have brought to others
of the nation's business.
A proposal to subsidize the ply-
wood industry so that cheaper
grades of plywood needed in the
housing program could be pro-
duced was not included in the
measure, money for that purpose
to come from the R.F.C. and as
directed by c0gnlzant bureaus.
Subsidy payments are being bit-
terly opposed by the plywood in-
dustry and a telegram has been
sent to the entire Washington and
Oregon delegations in Congrass
and other officials by C. H. Krei-
enbaum, president of the West

Snyder, director of war mobili-
zation and reconversion have been
appealed to by the industry to
prevent issuance of the subsidy
directive because it would serve
to discourage production instead
of help in the present housing
crisis.
Mr. Krelenbaum's telegram to
Washington and Oregon congres-
sional delegations is as follows:
"A directive has been drafted
in Washington ordering the ply-
wood industry to produce prewar
grades and sizes at prices rec-
ommended by OPA whicl would
practically shut down plywood in-
dustry. Instead Of facing facts of
costs and prices realistically sub-

"Through fears of result of
such policy encouragcment of

be impossible. Such program
would definitely discourage pro-
duction rather than encourage it.
This proposal is most alarming.
For war purposes dung last few
years more government timber
has been sold than ever before.
Continuation of this policy is be-
ing urged. However, prospect of
purchasing government timber
and accepting subsidies to covet'
costs is possibility not realized by
industry. Political persecutmn of
steamship and air lines and oth-
ers in early thirties who received
subsidies has not been forgotten.
"Wood products industry gave
its utmost in cooperation and pro

GOVERNMENT SURRENDER TO
LABOR PRESSURE CRITICIZED
Declaring that he sympathized]
with the problems facing Presi-
dent Truman, which would tax
the mind of genius, but nonethe-
less abhorred the supine surren-
der of the administration to hugo
labor group pressure, Frank Bi
shop of Little Skookum bay, a
club member, addressed the Shel-
ton Kiwanis club at its regntar
weekly luncheon meeting at Mem-
orial Hall Tuesday.
The speaker, showing an ex-
cellent grasp of his subject,
"Strikes: Whither Trending," also
expressed his concern and sym-
pathy for the laboring man, at
the same time roundly condemn-
ing his exploitation by the pres-
sure forces of international union
officials.
"Strikes are inimical to the 1)ub-
that equity be not considered,
which would be a threat to every
government by law. He also
pointed out that the C.I.O. de-
mand for 30 per cent wage in-
crease and a "look at the books"
was a challenge to the law gov-
erning all corporate and individ-
ual enterprise.

Blame at F.D.'s Door
Bhune for the devoloped arTo-
gancc of labor leadcrs the speaker
placed squarely on thc shoulders
of Franldin D. Roosevelt for ac-
cepting campaign money from the
C.I.O., and by its laature implying
that return favors were expected
by union Icaders. He told of the
traditional conservatism of the
American Federation of Labor,
that in its 50 years of life had
never found anything better than
a strike to settle labor conflict,
which. Ie stated, indicates tim
mentality of labor leadership.
"The political action section of the
C.I.O. is radical and revolution-
ary.and openly boasts that it is
out to coerce and brow-beat Con-
grass," the speaker continued.
He deploned the utter disregard

called labor leaders.
