WOULD EASE WAGE
VIOLATION PENALTIES:
Amendment of the Economic Stabili
zation Act to prevent continued imposi
tion of harsh and arbitrary penalties for
violations of wage regulations is favored
in a memorandum filed with the House
Banking Committee by the National
Chamber. The subject has been studied
carefully by the Chamber’s Federal Fi
nance and Manufacture Department
Committees.
The proposed amendment would pro
vide that no penalties of any kind shall
be imposed against any employer for
any wage or salary payments made prior
to the effective date of the law and in
contravention of the Economic Stabili
zation Act “unless it is shown that said
wage and salary' adjustments were made
in wilful contravention of said Act or
the regulations issued thereunder.”
It is asserted in the memorandum that
the vast majority of employers have
acted in good faith and have tried hon
estly and sincerely to understand and
follow the Stabilization Act and the
orders and regulations issued thereun
der despite their number and complex
ity, and despite differences in rules and
varying interpretations by the War La
bor Board and Treasury Department,
between which jurisdiction over wage
and sfdp.’w changes is divided.
The memorandum also approves an
amendment proposed by the House Spe
cial Committee to Investigate Executive
Agencies, which would prohibit the
President in his regulations from pre
scribing any penalty in excess of the
excessive wages or salary payments. In
!the opinion of tHe House Committee.
Congress never contemplates the imposi
tion of penalties so severe as have been
visited upon individuals by executive
authority.
There is no intention under the pro'
posed amendments to prevent the im
position of proper penalties for wilful
'.novations of wage and salary regula
tions.—(Business Actio'n Weekly).
RUSSIAN REHABILITATION
An idea of the immensity of the re
habilitation program, required when an
enemy over-run territory is reoccupied,
is given in a current story on Russia in
; “Foreign Commerce Weekly,” by E. C.
Ropes, Russian expert in the Department
|of Commerce. The Russian rehabilita
tion program embraces 272,150 square
; miles and already has resulted in the re
i turn to those areas of more than 200,
000 cattle, 360,000 sheep and goats, and
54,000 horses. The Soviet government
purchased and sold to collective farm
ers large numbers of livestock; delivered
| more than a half million head of poul
try; gave special exemptions from de'
livery of agricultural products to farm
ers in the re-occupied districts; and car
ried through an extensive program of
restoration of ruined machine-tractor
stations as well as other establishments
essential to restoration of agricultural I
production. More than 580,000 houses
were- built in towns and villages. This
Russian achievement in rehabilitation is
significant in consideration given by the
United and Associated Nations to the re
lief and rehabilitation program of
UNRRA.—(Business Action Weekly).

THE IDEA OF NATIONALISM'-,
by Hans Kohn (Macmillan;
7.50).
It would be remarkable if Hans
Kohn’s gigan'ic "The Idea of Na
tionalism” were to become a best
Seller, inasmuch as it is a deeply
scholarly, very detailed, conscien
tious study of its subject produc
ed with ail the appurtenances of
the usual professorial product;
There are 735 pages in Dr Kohn’s
Book, and of these 156 are given
over to notes. This will give you
an idea of the solidity of the book,
iir a quantitive way
Reading the book is *-ard work,
although it is wrifen well
enough. Dr. Kohn does not try
to trap readers by cute sentences;
he is only anxious (verv,,i to pro
duce a reasoned account of what
nationalism is. and how it came
to be This he has done, and few
books will better repay study
Nationalism as wp understand
the term really dates from the
hYench revoluiton, he says. It
springs from *he ancient love of
man for his house and family. It
grew into a love of his tribe, his
neighbors, and as communication
became possible, of his vicinity.
Somewhat, changed in quality, it
grew farther as travel widened,
i Eventually nationalism became a
I feeling for the state, but it has
another destination, which is
| love of a racfe and eventually love
I of all humanity. Beyond that lies
unity in “respect for the ultimate
good,” something that most of us,
would pay lip service to, but few
of us would fight for. Dr. Kohn
does not expect miracles, after all
his years of wandering the globe,
and his years of teaching, latterly
at Smith College and Harvard.
But nationalism is not altogeth
er dependent upon mechanics. It
was germinating before the
French revolution, but it could
not take its modem form until
the third estate came into being.
It is dependent upon a feeling for
like, upon the understanding that
individuals are part of a larger
group. Its most extreme mani
festation, or at least one of them,
is the complete merging of the in
dividual with the state, and this
is susceptible of perversion, as
recently in Germany.
Even a superficial review of thej
content and implications of “The
Idea of Nationalism” would fill
50 columns. It is simpler to read
the book.
