Fhis question is bound to come up
in any discussion of post-war planning.

tribute much toward building a better and
stronger American people. But these alone
are not enough.

On this, our attitude is clear. No wages
are high that are earned. Fifty dollars a day
earned is none too high. But a dollar a day
unearned is much too high.

Confidence is the first need... confidence
that work brings reward. Such confidence
cultivated in a people generates enterprise
and effort.

More Productive Methods

Industry, being part of the people, re-
sponds to the same stimulus... and is ready
to initiate and work and invest all for the
treasure of life in America.

Wages are a part of the product. They are
not the result of the employer's generosity,
nor the employee's ability to bring pressure
to bear.

American Industry has continuously de-
veloped methods whereby a man receives
more pay for fewer hours but still increases
production. And so it will continue to be.

But wages are only one of Industry's
problems.

-A Better World Must Come

Millions of young men and women have
been withdrawn from their homes and
careers. Business is shorthanded. Many in-
dustries have been seriously disrupted.
Public debt and the casualty lists mount
higher every hour.

Victory, therefore, is the greatest con-
cern of everybody. After Victory, all of us
must strive to build a better world . . . a
world in which such misfortune can never
happen again.

Youth Must Have Opportunity

The way must be kept clear for independ-
ence in business... and for young men to
start new businesses. Vigorous competition
and initiative have carried our country
safely and far.

American business is not performing its
complete function unless it makes available
to every family traditional American stand-
ards of living. American business also must
serve social order and social advance. There
is little room for racial or religious preju-
dice or class distinction when a country is
alive with energy and is working.

These are some of the thoughts we hold
as we loOk toward the day when wages
will again be earned by building the goods
of peace.

television and giant planes . , will con-
