e agencies of the New

Mr. Wallace called upon workers
and farmers, es one of six duties he
outlined for them, to thwart any
attempt to get a “balanced dollar
budget” ff it meant “a naked and
helpiesa National Government tell-
ing al to save themacives who
The test of any balanced budget
was its abfitty to prevent Insol-

Wallace said, adding that “no

permitted to deatroy these sound!

Unless “our energies, our greet

said, the powt-war nation will be
filled with proving bands seeking

At the same time, Mr. Wallace
warned labor and agriculture of
their duty not to enter into “un-

Mire, Rosevelt Uress Education '
Mré. EleancY Fitogevelt praised
_ the CIO for extending Ita no-strike
pledge and asked that it under
feba ben aMuretionel neeeram tol
teach
tions that must be remedied if
strikes are hot to occur.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who by virtue of,
her membership in the American’
Newspapet Guild is also affiliated
with the CIO, called upon the
ution members to tell the story of
injustices, inequalities ant bad
conditiona so that the people at
home would take action to elimi+
nate the thitige Which bring about
work atoppages. .
“Most people don't know what
Jeads to strikes,” Mrs. Roosevelt
sald. “If you pledge not to strike
then it t# tp to you to get the peo-
pie to feimedy that which other-
Sue eee wearer
would lead to a etrike.” ..
e First Lady said that on her
rétedt trip to the Botithwest Pa-
cifid she enéountered a soldier
ffim Weat Virginia who was a
miner. The conversation got around
te the production stoppages in the
hard and soft coal fields.
“Yes, I don't blame the miners,”
the soldier told Mra. Roosevelt, ‘7
kflow what they have been
through, but, oh, we must have
uction now,”
“He, Mra. Roosevelt said, “un-
Gerstood the point of view of the
man in the foxhole and the point
of view of e worker. We have got
ta get that over to the public as a
whole.” j
. She sald that many of our sol-
_@iérs now wete getting better food,
“slpthing, medical and dental care
-sd cther attention than they had
Wer received in civilian life. When
mich soldiers come back from thé
war, she said, they will have s
eastly different viewpoint from
that whic hthey held before entet-
tng the service. She said that she
did not believe we could change the
world overnight, but that by eur
objeci'ves and out deeds we could
show that we Jiritended to brin
about a better eerie. 5
