friend. According to the story,
Lewis proposed that Hitler send a
message of under 200 words to
Roosevelt and submitted a draft,
which Van Devander quoted. The
German documents relating to
Lewis were captured by the US
Army in 1945, Van Devander said.
In identical letters to Acheson
and Johnson, Sen. Humphrey said:
“If such documents actually exist
and are in the possession of the
United States government, I am
amazed that they are being kept
secret from the American people.
I consider it the clear duty of the’
agency which has control over
these documents to make them
public to show that this very ser
ious charge against a widely heard
radio commentator can be discuss
ed in the open.”'
Humphrey told Johnson and
Acheson that the charge that an
American radio commentator col
laborted with Nazi agents was a
“shocking one.” He said it was
“equally shocking to me that the
government, if it has such infor
mation, should withhold it from
the American people.” Humphrey
added that he saw no reason “why
the whole truth about this matter
should not be promptly revealed.”
Lewis, darling of the Committee
for Constitutional Government and
other anti-Fair Deal lobby groups,
may be in for a rough going over,
observers here feel, not for being
an isolationist which was any
man’s right—but for allegedly
dealing with Hitler agents.

Washington (LPA)—The manu

Sen. Cain Hints
Renewal of Rent
Bill Filibuster
1
Washington (LPA)—Sen. Harry
Cain (R, Wash.) has indirectly
threatened a new filibuster on rent
control. Speaking on the Senate
floor June 14, he asked Sen. Bur
nett Maybank (D, S. C.) whether
a lone Senator would be justified
in exercising every possible effort
to block rent control as a matter
of principle if a House-Senate con
ference should report a bill provid
ing rent control for seven months
instead of six. Maybank indicated
that a Senator might be justified.
Cain filibustered against the Sen
ate’s own rent control bill for 12
hours and six minutes.
The House measure extends rent
control through Jan. 31, 1951, so
that state legislatures, most of
which meet in January, will be in
session when federal controls end.
Then the legislatures can enact
state measures if they wish with
out running the risk of a period of
rent confusion. The bill passed by
the Senate would end controls Dec.
31 this year. Both bills allow indi
vidual communities voting to do so
to extend controls all the way to
the end of June 1951 or to decon
trol themselves at any time this
year.
Meanwhile, Vice-President Bark
ley named five Senators to meet
with spokesmen for the House to
work out a conference bill accept
able to both bodies. The five are:
Maybank, Fulbright (D, Ark.).
Sparkman (D, Ala.), Flanders (R,
Vt.) and Bricker (R, Ohio). Swift
action is expected when House con
ferees are named. Present federal
legislation ends June 30.

and wing innocent and loyal Am

especially commended Senator
Margaret Chase Smith (R, Maine),
for her Senate floor warning to her
party not to try to “ride to poli
tical victory on the Four Horse
men of Calumny—fear, ignorance,
bigotry and smear.”
The House Committee for the
District of Columbia approved a
measure extending rent control for
Washington. The bill is patterned
after the House bill for federal
control, extending rent lids.to Jan.
31, 1951. Sen. Matthew Neely,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, said he hoped new leg
islation controlling capital rents
would make Dec. 31, 1950,
terminal date.

Little. “Certainly”, said Brown.
With Brown, Halleck and»O’Hara

learned nothing much. The man
they were talking about is Harry
S. Barger, who went to work for
Hart Jan. 1, 1949. His listed salary
for the first quarter of 1950 was
$1999.98.
The NEC report, under the lob

tion-wide notoriety a year ago
when its head offered millions to a
small military school in the south
if it would agree to a race-hate ad

lists Hart’s salary for the first
quarter of 1950 at $4800.

Tariff Question
(CogfMttwf From Page Une)
p'-riod ol years. Even before the
war irrpnrts jmuriM fur 25 to
30% of t.’.al con. umption. During
and after the war the domestic in
dustry expanded considerably, not
o.'.’y bau e imp'.itg v.«re inrv'-’v
cut off except lium Ute Ln.tcd
Kingdom, ico and a few other
Countries, but also because the de
mand for pottery iiicn-a?ed in
keeping ’’"th the enlarg' pur
chasing power of the puld.c. Em
ployment increas'd somewhat in
proportion.
“In the Past three years imports
have, however, rlhubed to pv:"*
■■here today they are ab-y/e the
1987-1939 average. Japan, Ger
many and Italy are th hiding
-o'jrces beside the United'King
dom.
“Now it is proposed to reduce
the tariff still further as a means
of stimulating imports. In 1949
slightly more than twenty million
dollars of pottery wares wcro im
ported, and this ropr--‘-ntB foreign
invoice value, before payment of
duty. Even roday the imports from
Japan are stdl limited because they
have not reached pre-war levels of
production in that country. Yet
pottery items are listed for addi
-oal duty reductims for next
September in the forthcoming tar
iff negotiations. Obviously the
policy is to give yet more of our
jobs to labor in other countries.
There can be no doubt about this.
“They say that this is necessary
inorder to place more dollars into
the hands of the dollar-short coun
tries so that we can reduce out
dollar aid. But what will happen if
by doing so our workers are forced
out of jobs? This will cost money
too. Where will that come from
Out of the tax-payer’s pocket the
same as foreign aid. Had we not
also better think of what situation
we will be left with after the dol
lar-gap has disappeared?
“Wages in the pottery industry
compare favorably with wages in
other industries, even though there
is still a large amount of hand
work. The average hourly wage is
$1.45. Thus the industry cannot be
described as inefficient or unecon
omic and therefore a fit subject
for liquidation.
“There is no direct measure of
man-hour production in pottery be
cause so many different varieties,
sizes, qualities and patterns are
produced. For example, plates, cups
and saucers differ among them
selves so greatly that the nearest
approach to productivity can be at
tained by measuring general out
put by the dozens and making com
parisons on that basis.
“In this way we can reach a
fairly reliable estimate of the num
ber of employees that would be re
quired to produce the pottery that
is imported. The best statistics we
have relate to vitrified china table
ware, in the production of which
four or five thousands workers are
engaged. Imports are roughly a.‘
heavy as domestic production. In
other words, imports have taken
four or five thousand jobs that
would be filled by our own work
ers if we made the products in this
country.
“The imports of vitrified chine
represent a little less than half ol
total pottery imports. We can,
therefore, conclude quite safelj
that ten to twelve thousand addi
tional workers would be required
to produce in this country a|l the
pottery that is consumed here.
“However, we want to point ou:
that we do not object to a share of
the market going to imports. We
appreciate the need of importing if
we are to export. What we do ob
ject to is the level of the competi
tion and its capture of a constant
ly growing share of the market. II
imports took our market from
because, foreign producers are more
efficient, have a better and mon
attractive product and therefore
beat us technologically, or if then
workers outdid us in point of skill
industriousness and artisanship—
that would be one thing.
“When, however, the foreign ad
vantage lies almost wholly if not
completely in the fact that work
ers in other countries are paid less,
work longer hours and operate
under less favorable working con
ditions, an entirely different set of
circumstances is faced. Competitior
that gets its advantage from such
sources is unfair and the Laboi
Committee of the House is very
right in setting out to inquire into
this phase of foreign competition.
“Minimum wage legislation in
this country was recognized as nec
essary to assure minimum stand
ards of living. It wras clear that
the employers who paid fair wages
could not long continue to do so if
his products had to compete in the
market place with goods produced
by competitors who paid lower
wages and so gained a price ad
vantage.
“What difference does it
whether competition comes from
within the same city or
abroad, so far as its pressure on
wages is concerned In the case of
domestic producers there was al
ways the possibility that a unior.
organization might bring the off
ending wage chiselers into line. Ir
the case of foreign producers thi
possibility is so small that it of
fers no remedy. To date the Inter
national Labor Organization has
done little to close the wage-gap
and even in our own country na-
make
from
'W
v/'
A

e
ti'i.-.al minimum hgi-lation
to the support of Cul
br ^aining to .ert ine unfair
wage competition. Unfair foreign
competition is more difficult to
reach, in fm for all jia ticai pur
poses it is beyond our d.xvot
“What instrument can then be
used to prevent unfair foreign
competition? As of now we have
at our di-po-al the tariff, but ou.
State Depui L'm-nt insists on throw
ing this tensive instrumen'
away. That Department wants
say what industries are to
gr-nnd to pieces, dislodnrp- thr
workers from their aixiutomec
and, in many cases, life-long oc
cupations.
“They want/ in effect, to say
workers in partic ’ar irdustrie*
“Your future in ti.,.J industry if
doomed. You just go somewhen
else, to some other industry some
where, and look for a place
work. Perhaps we will try to hel]
you find something and we ma
in the end have to retrain you
First, however, we want to mak
sure that you lose your job. Don’
come to us before that happens.”
“At the same time that the State
Department pursues its policy o
reducing the tariff, it condemn,
other protective devices. Yet it i
very clear that in order to bring
imports from a country such a.
Japan onto a fair competitive leve
with our own products in the
domestic market would require 1
very high tariff rate. Wage rate
of 10 cents or 12 cents per hou:
cannot be offset by moderate rate,
of duty. Our own workers are no
-o much more productive than th
Japanese that we can have wage:
12 to 15 times as high as thos
prevailing in Japan and expect
rompete. The difference is entirely
too great. As I have said, we don’
ut-produce the Japanese by an
such margin.
“Yet if we set a tariff of severs’
hundred per cent on Japanese pot
tery, such a rate would appear ex
tremely high and in fact would b«
excessive against other countrie
from which we import and when
A-age and labor standards are con
siderably higher than in Japan.
“Under such circumstances, im
port quotas would offer a bettei
method of regulating competitive
imports than the tariff. But oui
State Department has made strong
pronouncements against quotas 01
the ground that they, represent thf
worst form of trade barriers. The
have condemned all quotas becaust
quotas in some forms may b*
greatly restrictive of trade. Th
fact is, however, that quotas neo
not be restrictive at all. Their us
could permit a fair share of th
domestic market to go to imports.
It might be -sible then to main
tain a low tar.fi.
“In his way the destructive ef
fects of foreign low-wage competi
tion on our employment could
contained. The potential disruptior
jf the price structure would be
limited by the fact that it would
be known in advance that the quan
tity of imports could not go be
yond a certain portion of oui
market.
“Factory owners could then, s
far as foreign competition is con
•erned, plan production ahead and
give steady employment, free
from the fears of a flood of cheat
mports. These fears are often ex
aggerated but so long as they exis
they inflict their damage on em
ploymept and wages, whether the
materialize or not. So long as the
gate is wide open the threat of in
.-reas^-fl low-priced imports to ai
unknown amount is ever present
This acts as a depressor of manu
factoring activity and therefore o::
?mployment. This threat could bi
removed by setting a ceiling 01
total imports that could be brough’
'.n any one year and in any quar
ter year and this amount neec
not be less than had been imported
over a representative period o
time and should be a stated shan
of the market.
“Unless a limit is placed on the
amount of imports, the pottery’ in
iustry in this country will be de
pressed even more than it is nov
fbr the simple reason that it is not
known how much pottery will be
offered by Japan this year, or next
year, or at any time in the future*
for sale in this country. What is
known is that imports from Japai
lave always been at very low
prices.
“Such a combination is hard to
race. The quantity is unknown but
.vhat is known is the fact of
priced competition. What is
of- Japanese imports is true
lesser degree of imports from
many, England, and Italy. Taken
altogether this combination doe?
no| add up to an attractive outlook
for our workers or for the industry
“Who knows, some of the fears
of a flood of low priced imports
may be unfounded. That is the
theme-song of Mr. Paul Hoffman,
ECA Administrator but that is
not the point. No one can say be
forehand how large imports will
be. In a buyers’ market this is the
crucial question. It is the uncer
tainty that does the damage. This
is what depresses production ^and
employment. Then if imports do
actually increase the fears are
magnified and the damage is doub
led. A finer road toward a general
depression could hardly be imagin
ed.
“It is not possible to eliminate
the fear of low-priced competition
by merely minimizing it so long as

“Let me repeat what I have said
Wore, to give it all the emphasis
can—it is very encouraging to
know that this Committee has
jpened up a channel of inquiry
that should have been opened long
before this. The tariff is m»t
simply a tax-raising device. Tim
•mployment aspects of the import
luestion are of the greatest econ
»mic importance. Wage and job
competition from overseas or from
xcross the border can and do great
y influence the trend of wages
ind employment in this country.
“Where the tariff itself does not
neet the protective requirements,
.here shoura be no hesitation to
consider other measures, such as
he import quota. Doing so does
lot conflict with the objective of
iberalized trade. In fact the quota
system could be used quite effec
.ively to increase the market for
oreign goods in this country while
Irawing the sting from low priced
mports. I hope that this Commit
„ee will give full consideration to
his suggestion.
