Pay Hike Could Bring Low Mood Warns Industry Leader
New York reports that John M. Hancock, chairman of the American Management Association, warned the three man wage-fixers panel that a steelworker pay rise could trigger inflation and a general economic downturn. Hancock, a banker with Lehman Brothers, said higher wages risk a national pattern of more hikes, potentially ending the current economy and eroding currency value. The three man board, appointed by the President to avert a steel strike, must submit nonbinding recommendations by Aug. 30 after steelworkers urged a 30 cent per hour increase.

U S Canada Arms Swap Plan Faces Mixed Views

Secretary of Defense Johnson told President Truman that Canada seeks warships aircraft small arms ammo and other items in exchange for American supplies, aiming to preserve Canada’s dollar reserves and provide needed equipment. Some senators questioned exchanges for anti submarine vessels and the impact on trained personnel, while others urged joint defense efforts under North Atlantic considerations. The foreign relations and armed services committees plan a vote soon with a broader floor battle anticipated.
