WALLACE CONTINUES TH® TRADITION OF ROOSEVELT ~ New York Correspondent ~ ay OR ANTON CONTAL HED i120 nya este STED (From: "LA HORA" of Buenos Aires, Argentina, January oitnbiais UL . GA Es Whe: BYSP/AsesO NEW YORK, January 23. - Henry Wallace continues the tradition of Roof af? Ost is, Wallace confides in the people. The present Secretary of Commerce of the United States has, as one of his principal objectives, that of obtaining work for 60 million citizens of this country. And in order that this objective may be achieved he finds no better way than his position ‘in President Truman's Cabinet in order to address the people themselves telling them that it is the people themselves, with their mobilization, who must take the necessary steps in order that the Government fulfill the promise made by President Roosevelt = a promise which surely would have been fulfilled if he nad lived. During an address given in the heart of the Agricultural region par excellence of this country, the City of St. Paul, Secretary Wallace declared: "It is imperative that the represertatives elected by us make a statement on their policy to be followed in the Federal service «es All of you know where tre final responsibility rests. That responsi- bility is in each electoral circuit, in each electoral district of the country." In other words: the people have the instrument. of the ballot.in their hands, whieh + Sey used, can give them whatever their leaders deny them. < Wallace has urged the Farmers to support the Full Employment Law ‘promised: them by Roosevelt. Shortly after the death of Roosevelt the "Revisionists" began to appear - those who spoke of "employment for many" or of "all the employment possible" - or © clearly speakinz, the "hooded ones", enemies of the working people. Wallace told the Farmers that the ” employment Law for everyone will mean tiat the workers will be able to go to market to fill their shopping baskets with commodities. In turn, this will mean prosperity for the Farmers who will be the principal producers of these commodities. "The threat of mass unemployment of a cronic nature - he added ~ is as zreat a danger as the threat of war is"; he maintained that the country cannot allow the extravagance of another cycle of prosperity and depression; he undoubtedly was referring to the days of Hoover when the great mass of the people had to resort to the "Hoover-villes", in other words the Unemployment Villas in order not to be completely overcome by the depressicn. According to Wallace, the sole possibility of preventing a repetition of the chaos of 1930 is to exert pressure on the Representatives and demamd action of trem. For that matter, according to his own words, they were elected in order to do the things the people desire them to do and which they could not do themselves by individual title or br intermedium of the Farmers! organizations, Wallace maintains that a National Economic Charter should be drawn up which would endow all the people with "equal right and opportunities for earning a salary that would allow them a decent life; that the preparation of thet Charter will be a simple question of common sense amd that it would represent "the will of the great majority of the people" alone.
