SIX kgSBURS. KlEWS-REVliw, ROSgBUR5, OREGOtl, MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1946 Truman Urges Congress Approval of His Program I Continued From Page 1 Jion of strikes." - Mr. Truman said most Indus tries and most companies "have problem of one 'Adequate leeway within which to grant substantial wage In creases." Vge Theory Amplified Elaboratlnp on his higher wage theory, he said: . "Good wages means poor) mar kets. Hood business means more jolw and better waes . . . Sub stantial wage increases are eood business lor business because thev assure a laree market fur their products; substantial wage Increases are good business lor laoor because they increase la bor's standard of livln"- substan tial wage increases are good busi ness for the country as a whole because capacity production means an active, healthy, friend ly citizenry enjoying the benellts of democracy under our lree en terprise system." Mr. Truman said further on this point: "If we manage our economy properly, the future will see us on a level of production half again as high as anything we have ever accomplished in ieace time. Business can in the future Jay higher wages and sell for ower "rices than ever before. This Is not true now for all com panies, nor will it ever be true for all, but for business generally It is true." In promoting an Increase In supplies at low unit prices, he said resources and enterprises must be developed all over the country, particularly in undevel oped areas of the west and south, lie said he was asking the Sec retaries of Agriculture, Com merce and Labor to explore Joint ly methods for stimulating new Industries In areas with surplus farm labor. Concerned About 8trike - Speaking again of the strike situation, a headllner for Con gressional debate, the Chief Exec utive asserted: "Everyone who realizes the ex treme neeri for a swift and or derly reconversion must feel a deep concern about the number of major strikes now In progress. If long continued, these strikes could put a heavy brake on our program." The President called anew for action on his entire domestic program .including his proposal that strikes be held in abeyance while fact-finding boards Investi gate labor-management disputes. ""TiTthe military field, Mr. Tru man recommended Armv-Navv strength of 2,000,000 men for this calendar vear and said continu ance of the draft beyond Its ex piring date of May 16 w ill he necessary if enlistments do not obtain necessary replacements of those demobilized. Augmenting his earlier foreign policy statements, he asserted American peace policy must rest "upon justice no less than uiwn power." Would Outlaw Atom Bomb He urged support of the United Nations commission to control atomic energy and expressed "gre.it hone" for development of "mutually effective safeguards" In such control. He said he also believed it possible that the atomic bomb will be outlawed as a war wea'on. While reserving for a later message detailed discussion of the proposed $.l,7.r)0,ono,iX!l loan to Britain, Mr. Truman said granting this credit would con tribute to "easing the transition of our major MARTIN ? - partners In the war." In an Introduction entitled "from war to iieace the year of decision," he declared the begin ning of 1!M6 finds this country "strong and deservedly confi dent." He said that for the Immediate future the business prospects "are generally so favorable that there is danger of such feverish and opKrlunistic activity that our grave xstwar problems may be neglected. "We need to act now." he added, "with full regard for pit falls; we need to act with fore sight and balance." Buttressing the thought that "we must lay a new and better foundation for cooperation" on both the domestic and interna tional scene, he said the United Nations Organization must be developed as the "representative of the world as one society." providing a great voice to "speak constantly and responsihily in terms of world collaboration and world well-being." Bargaining Not Compulsion Domestically, he said industrial peace will have to be achieved through collective bargaining "with government assistance but not government compulsion." "Private capital and private management," he asserted, "are entitled to adequate reward for einciency, but business must recognize that Its reward results from the employment of the re sources of the nation. Business is d public trust and must adhere to national standards In the con duct of its affairs. "These standards include as a minimum the establishment of fair wages and fair employment practices." Labor also has Its peacetime responsibilities, he said, adding: "Under our collective bargain ing system, which must become progressively more secure, labor attains increasing political as well as economic power, and this, as with all power, means in creased responsibility." Disunity Voices Again Heard Mr. Truman reserved for the last page of his document his warning against "disunity." "We have won a great war we, the nations of plain people w-ho hate war," he declared. "In the test of that war we found a strength of unity that brought us through a strength that crushed the power of those who sought by force to deny our faith In the dignity of man. "During this trial the voices of disunity among us were silent or were subdued to an occasional whine that warned us that they were still among us. Those voices are beginning to cry alound again. We must learn constantly to turn deaf ears to them. They lire voices which foster fear and suspicion and Intolerance and hate.

A clause in the contract, retroactive to (Jet. 2, 1!M, per mits the union to petition for subsequent Increase. The union originally demanded 25 cents an hour more pay. Conference 8lated Another major strike develop ment was acceptance by the heads of General Electric and Westing house companies of an Invitation to meet with Scretary of Labor Schwellenbach and officials of the CIO Electrical Workers in Wash ington Tuesday. They will discuss the wage dispute which has idled 200.000 employes of the electrical appliance Industry. Vanport Negro Faces Charge of Murder PORTLAND. Ore.. Jan. 19.

He said the bought the vehicle to cope with the housing short age during his trip. "I put a bed in It in case I couldn't find a hotel room, and I had to use it, too," Sarman said. "It was very comfortable." Mr. Truman said his budget estimates "are based on the as- sumption of generally favorable business conditions but not on an income reflecting full employ ment and high productivity that we hope to achieve. In the fu ture years the present tax sys tem, in conjunction with a full employment level or national in come, could be expected to yield more than $30,000,000,000, which is substantially above the antici pated jx-acetime level of expendi tures.

Published Weekly by the Douglas County Flour Mill, Mfgrt. of Umpqua and Sunrise Poultry and Dairy Feeds. Jan. 1946 GREETINGS It Is with a great deal of pleasure that we begin the eighth year of these informal chats with you, our satisfied customers and prospective cus tomers. Each year about this time, we get the urge to tell you alKiut some of our prob lems, and to Invite you to tell us your problems and plans. The hoe that something bene ficial to you anil to us can be worked out, Is the purpose of "The Feed Hag." Once each week for the next few months you will find this little "newsjiaprr within a newspaper" tucked away in the Koseburg News Review." Should any question occur to you, let us know, and we will try to find the answers for you. Otherwise, we'll Just pass out advice, which you don't have to follow. Naturally, you would expect that we would mention Ump qua and Sunrise Feeds occas ionally in this series. And you may be sure we will do that very thing, llecause, after all. we don't want to urge you to buy some fi-cd that Is manu factured away up In Portland, or some other foi-cign country. Certainly not, when l'mqua and Sunrise Feeds are made right here at home, In Douglas County. Because, after nil, It seems In be good logic for us folks In Iouglas County to sort of co-operate, and help make this a finer place to .Ivcl We'll all ay taxes into the same county (mi. Is. and spend our surplus money with Douglas County business houses, and we can then all claim a share in mak ing IXuiglns County the finest spilt, with the finest people In Oregon. (And that means the Nation.) The Douglas County Flour THE OUTLOOK Every year about this time, we stick our neck away out, and attempt lo predict the fu lure, it takes either a wise man or a damphool to do this, and we claim to be neither. So the prediction probably won't be worth much to you. 1045 has gone down In his tory as a year of great changes, great accomplish ments and great victorlo During the War things were uncertain, and we all hoped for peace, victory and nor malcy. We now have the peace and victory, but lt seems that "normalcy" is still around the proverbial corner. As we gaze into the crystal ball, we find it still beclouded with Federal Alphabetical Combinations, Industrial un certainty, labor unrest, feed shortages, food surpluses, and many other foggy spots. Gov ernment laid plans to buy eggs to support the market, and in stead, discover a continuing egg famine. Uncle figures to have to buy turks next fall to support prices, and thought there would be an increase of 50' i- In breeder stock. It now looks like the Increase might bo only 10' r. (Of course that is 20' 'r too much.) Plans are being revamped. and many less turkeys will be raised than was formerly an ticipated. Hatching eggs are poor sale, which might mean smaller chicken flocks for next year. We get dizzy Just won dering about It. let alone pre dicting. But here are some facts: The War Is Over No more Jokes about the cigarette shortage. Plenty for everybody, now. .'some folks changed to different brands; many who took up smoking during the shortage have now quit. (No sense in smoking when everyone else can do It, too.) Plenty of meat for every one, and we wonder Just how acute the meat problem was at Its very worst. Sugar still ra tioned, but seems to be plenty on the QT, if you know the right people. But we ran still use all of On Jan. 1, IMfi, there were your Rood clean branded Ump- over 3.M million pounds of qua Feed Sacks.

Fryer prices will continue low until production gets in line. Pro duction will not get In line un til somebody loses enough money In chickens and turkeys to cut down the size of their flocks. We admit this is a gloomy picture. But we must face the facts. Our policy will continue to be to present the picture as it appears to us, and not at tempt to distort or misrepre sent the conditions. This is probably enough gloom for one issue of 'The Feed Bag." Don't want you to get the Idea that we are Just a wet tire or a flat blanket.
