WASHINGTON
April 29, 1952
NOTE FOR DAVE STOWE
I have made some minor editorial changes in
the attached draft. The only major point I raised
is this. In the Executive Order authorizing
Government operation we base one of our arguments
on the ground that "a continuing and uninterrupted
supply of steel is also indispensable to the main-
tenance of the economy of the United States, upon
which our military strength depends" (see attached
order, section outlined in red).
In drafting the order we usesthis "whereas
clause" to support the need for seizing the whole
industry. The release of some of the plants might
appear to contradict the validity of this ground
of action a.s set forth in the Executive Order.
However, I believe it can be argued that a prolonged
shut down would seriously threaten the broad economic
base, and, therefore, the Government released some
of the plants after having made sure that there were
adequate inventories on hand for the continuation
of a good portion of civilian activities. In the
meantime we release these plants in the hope that
the resort to economic pressure by both parties will
hasten a settlement of the dispute. I raise this
point, however, to indicate the reasons for the
changes made on Page 2 in the second and third
paragraphs.
