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

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

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.

we hope to achieve. In the fu

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

County.

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.

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

shortages, food surpluses, and
many other foggy spots. Gov

to support the market, and in

raised than was formerly an

smaller chicken flocks for next
year. We get dizzy Just won

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

some time to come. Fryer

to cut down the size of their

We admit this is a gloomy
picture. But we must face the
facts. Our policy will continue

it appears to us, and not at
