An editorial argues that jailing those blamed for high living costs would fail to curb prices. It asserts that most parties in the supply chain share responsibility and warns that government action against anti trust violators would do little to cut costs. The piece stresses the complexity of price formation and the limits of legal remedies.
A columnist argues that socialized systems erode freedom, citing a government report on Russian wages and warning that even efficient socialism destroys liberty. The piece urges education that explains how freedom was won in America and what must be done to preserve it.
The Sept 6 Saturday Evening Post article by Joseph and Stewart Alsop argues guided missiles will bring swift total war with no warning.

Maurice R. Franks, National Business Agent of the Railroad Yardmasters of North America, argues in Railroad Workers Journal that free and open unions resist coercive systems like the closed and union shops. He notes railroads lack a closed shop, yet Brotherhoods hold 1,300,000 members while only 1,170,000 are employed, due to retirees retaining memberships. Congress has begun reform but more is needed.
The piece argues that inflation results from broad economic pressures and a booming economy, not retailers. It notes high wages and costs, large public debt, and strong demand for goods abroad, while retailers claim slim profits and defend pricing as a response to 1947 conditions.
A survey by Dr Henry C Link of the Psychological Corporation finds many Americans favor government ownership of basic industry.
