At the very outset, he declared that we are not going to get rid of the war problem by deposing Secretary of State nor by calling former President Herbert Hoover an isolationist.

Attention was called to the fact that history shows no nation has turned back when it has gone so far in the direction of war as we have. It is too easy, he declared, to blame 'the other side for conditions that have resulted In conflict. The strength of Democracy Is also its weakness. Dictatorship is based on power that car be used Immediately. The policy of war is an uncontrollable force.

Such capacity would be a 15,000,000 ton rise with In 30 months after the Korean War outbreak. Whien the Communists attacked last June in Korea the annual capacity of U.

S. steel mills was 100, 563,000 tone, immediate plans were made to raise this to 109,93,000 tofts an undertaking announced In October by Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer.

Lewis Against All Control Of Wages, Prices By ROBERT E. ZEE, (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington Jan. 10. John I Lewis advised the government today to abandon all thought of controlling either prices or wages. He said there is no need for such controls.

In any case, he added, "it la obviously impossible to freeze wages with any. equity when, the price structure is uncontrollable." The United Mine Workers' president told the Wage Stabilization Board that, despite the national de fense emergency, the UMW sees no reason for "putting the American economy in irons." Lewis, who has refused to join the United Labor Policy Committee presumably because it fears it may commit labor to a no strike pledge testified at board hearings on, federal wage control policy. The miners' hlef nreniAil that "stability of the economy" could bet ter be achieved through normal collective bargaining devices than through "arbitrary government fiat." Lewis Insisted that It will be "im possible," to control the commodity prices. Therefore, he said, there should be no federal freeze In wages. He' repeated demands for repeal of the Taft Hartley law.

Lewis said American productive capacity can taWe necessary expansion in "stride." But he said American workers are entitled to repeal or suspension of the labor law" for helping save the nation from Its enemies, whoever they may be." If the government will Just let labor and Industry alone, Lewis said, they can easily expand produc tion. He said the coal industry could Increase Its annual production by 20,000,000 tons. "Its available haul It away," Lewis said. To the Wage Board in an hour long talk and then to a news conference, Lewis listed three "infla tionary" factors which he said make it Impossible to control the price of any commodity. They are: 1 Escalator clauses In some union contracts which tie wage Increases to price movements.

2 Farm parity prices, fixed by law. 8 Lack of control over dividends which are subject to continual reinvestment. 1 Lewis emphasized that he was rot criticizing Industry earnings which he noted were higher than ever before. But he said the miners "reject the suggestion that the worker have his wages froien while dividends go on."
