Sokolski" No people had more cause to bow their heads yesterday in deep humility than we Americans upon who has been showered the ,full richness of God's mercy. ' Unwisely - profligate of our resources; reckless of our mortal fortitude; fatuous in our Idolatry of passing fashion; up- rooting generation after generation the ballasting traditions of a proved civilizationwe yet survive in freedom and plentitude. t We are the paradox of history, for great empires have fallen for lesser causes; yet we survive, and survive in magnificent strength. In this year of me, now reaching its close,- - we must be thankful everlastingly that we have begun the rectification of many of the confusions that have beset our people. Shia past de-, code. , , Slowly, the truth of our international relations unfurls itself the miserable truth of betrayal, of deceit, of condonement, of indecency, of treachery to the death of million,- of innocent human beings. All this we bad accepted as the cost of war. All this, in 1946, we rejected as too high a price for peace. Our mini znum basis for peace has shifted from criminal appeasement to simple justice. We have moved stalwartly, if at first timidly, along the path of international morality. Province Of Russia - Poland is gone, a province now of Soviet Russia, a beggarly province, But Germany is not yet gone; it may be redeemed. And Japan has been redeemed. And General Marshall's confused thinking on China has failed to corrupt that country. And the United States has ceased to bribe nations into goodness by loans and subsidies. Lend-leas- e is no more. We must be thankful that we are still the sole possessors of the atomic bomb, an instrument of Satan's brew designed to destroy mankind. As long as we are its monopolists, it will not be used again for the de4ruction of innocents, although Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain blots upon our history, reminders of our shame. Like an ancient prophet, Bernard Baruch, has resisted firmly the sophistries of propagandists and the noisome fears of scientists, frightened by their own compositions. We are thank- -. hal that the task of safeguarding the bomb was entrusted to Baruch, who can no more be shaken by abuse than flattered into error by praise. We are fortunate, indeed,- - that our team of Byrnes, Vandenberg, Connally and Baruch have served their country so magnificently.- Not So Fortunate On the domestic side, we have not been sofortunate, for-opresident la 'not the mightiest of men; either in mind or spirit.

Yet, the conscience of the people is firm, and they have resisted - the - blandishments of both bureaucrat and politician. It has been an amazing spectacle to witness the survival of a nation during the silliness of the OPA and after its virtual abandonment. Even more, we are surviving presidential incompetence. A man who can be photographed daily in the cap of tunny dalliance, all smiles and good cheer, in the Florida playground, on the verge of and during a devastating strike, enjoys the presidency more than anyone with a sense of obligation should. That office is not a delight; it is a responsibility. In fact, when the presidency becomes a pleasure rather than I moral obligation, the nation is, Indeed, in danger.' Wisdom In Congress Yet, we are thankful that the people in their wisdom have chosen a Congress so balanced that it, rather than the president, will dominate government policies. The Republicans hold barely a majority of the Senate and not enough of either house to override a veto. Therein lies a deep peril, in a reconstructive era. Yet, in the nation's peril, Republicans and Democrats will combine to give their country a national government, to restore to full richness the principals of moral life and decent respect for the needs and rights of the individual man which the Puritans , planted in our soil three centuries ago. For this we are thankful. 1 --- .

' '''''Al"Aiii One would think that such matters concern the coal miner whose lob depends a market for coal at a price that is at least competitive. But is be concerned? We doubt it. Perhaps the average coal miner in Utah and elsewhere feels that if his cal mining lob peters, out, he can easily turn to something else. But over the long term that is a mistaken noticni: a mere illusion. , And aside from the III will LeWis and his coal miners are creating for the coal industri, there is the very realistic matter of prices. Many coal consumers burn coal because they feel that it is cheaper than gas oro11. There is little doubt about it being more inconvenient, but they feel that the. saving in cost, and in some cases the added comfort, is worth the inconvenience. But if Lewis. and the coal Miners are going to be successful in biking wages and costs time after time, the price of coal will continue to rise and ;t some point it will price itself out of many Markets. (This is so important to the coal Industry that we may have more to say about it later.) But here again are the miners concerned? We hope so, but doubt it. Perhaps some day soon they will see the folly of Lewis' ways.

Most Of the people are wondering how one , , i 4 .! man in a democracy can cause such widespread , 4 P.- -, dislocation and discomfort. Others can see for the ?.4 . first time what a Frankenstein monster we have v ". treated with the Wagner Act. , , Most of the bad features of the coal strikes ' and its resulting disaster to industry and the natioml welfare have been well publicized. For instance, it has been clearly pointed out that a few more days of no soft coal mining will virtually paralyze the American economy and that a 60:day , strike would close 60 per cent of the steel mills, 70 , per cent Of all factories, 64 per cent of all electrical power plants, 88 per cent of the railroads, in addition to closing most of the schoolsm office buildings, amusements, etc. . ;The reason for .this Impact is clearly shown by the fact that more than 1,000,000 tons of coal . production was lost during the three days before the strike begati officially. Industry today is estimated to have less than 5,000,000 tons of coal on band, and the country's' total cbal stockpile has dwindled to around 45,- 000,000 tons, where there ought to be 65,000,000. But there Is another aspect of the coal strike ;which has not yet midi the headlines. It is: the user of coal, particularly the big industrial users, , are getting more and more fed up with these reoccurring Lewis crises. : I ,..; ......... - : Pricing Themselves Out of Jobs , ,, Nov. 29 1946 . -- -, , , . . . three departments of one in Its own field. each set therein as forth. independent fully government .
