Sen, raft Says
Depression May
Follow High Pric •es
SAN FRANCISCO, <A*)—Sena
tor Taft (R.-Ohio) headed for
Reno and a formal speech on the
reclamation issue Saturday after
declaring in San Francisco he felt
a depression may be directly be
hind prevalent high prices.
The Ohio Senator, who has been
the object of Democratic national
committee criticism because of his
part last year in remodeling the
OPA law, told reporters that "if
this price level remains, the con
ditions might bring a depression.”
adding: "We have escaped the
1920 type, but we are not past the
kind that came 10 years after the
last war.”
In a cost-of-living speech before
the Commonwealth club Friday.
Taft, who heads the Senate’s Re
publican policy committee, said
this country should level off both
wages and prices at from 50 to 60
per cent of the point they reached
in 1939.
The speech—regarded by his as
sociates as one of the most import
ant Taft plans to make on. a west
ern swing designed to give him a
feeling of sentiment in this part of
the country on his prospects for
the 1948 Republican Presidential
nomination—apparently was not
considered a complete success by
some of his spokesmen.
They conceded Taft may have
left himself open for new and vig
orous Democratic criticism by his
frank and blunt analysis of the
nation’s financial condition.
Motoring to Reno Saturday,
Taft planned to address a Republi
can group Saturday night, "not
only on the reclamation issue but
on the Taft-Hartley law, which he
was co-author.

Wallace Asks For
Explanation Of
Emergency Order
PHIL ADELPHIA, </P) — The
people of the United tSates “have
a right to an explanation” of the
"international emergency” that
prompted President Truman to or
der from the battleship Missouri
the immediate swearing in of
James Forrestal as defense secre
tary, says Henry Wallace.
Speaking at a rally sponsored
by the Eastern Pennsylvania
Chapter of the Progressive Citi
zens of America, Wallace said: “I
insist that if there is a genuine
emergency the people have a right
to an explanation.”
“If there is no emergency, this
action rates as the very lowest
method of breeding fear. It 's not
a technique which will melt Rus
sian stubbornness. It will certain
ly not endear us to the peace-lov
ing people anywhere in the
world.”
Produce More And
Prices Will Drop
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Senator
Ives (R.-N, Y.) said today the
World’s economy is sick because of
“under-production” and that soar
ing prices at home are only a sym
ptom of this “disease.”
“Everybody is talking about
high prices and they are pretty
bad,” Ives told a reporter, “but
we’ll never get them down until
we get production up.”
Ives’ comment followed a re
port by the bureau of labor statis
tics placing wholesale prices of
food and farm products at the
highest level in history, although
wholesale prices for the entire
list of 900 commodities covered by
the survey still were 5.9 per cent
below the record set in 1920.
• At the same time, Senator El
mer Thomas <D.-Okla.> reiterated
his contention that this country
may have to put up with “infla
ton’ if it is going to pay off the
national debt and meet other costs
of government.
Thomas added it may be another
six years or even longer before
the price situation becomes sta
bilzed.

Masaryk avoided the sharp at

Russia’s lead on the major issues.
He opposed any change in the

Russia’s line for Germany and
