TEXT OF RECOMMENDATIONS
MADE BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Their reward will lie rather in
realization Of the fact that they
vindicated the rights of their coun-
try and aided In safeguarding civil
1iSation. The nations gratitude
must be effectively revealed to
them by the most ample provision
for their medical care and treat
ment as we'll as for their voca- :
tional training ana placement. The
time has come when q more COM
plete program can be formulated
and more satisfactorily adminis-
tered for their treatment and
training. and earnestly urge that
the Congress give the matter its
early consideration. The Secre-
retary Of the Treasury and the
Board for Vocational Education
win outline in their annual re-
ports proposals covering medical
care and rehabilitation which am
sure viii engage your earnest
study and command your most
generous support.
DyestuAs and CAenieals.
Permit me to emphasize once
moro the need for action upon cer-
tain matters upon which I dwelt at
some length in my message to tho
second session Of the sixty-sixth
Congress-the necessity. for exam-
pie, Of encouraging tho mAnufAc-
ture Of dyestuffs and related chem
icals: the Importance Of doing
everything possible to promote
agricultural production along eco
nomic lines. to improve agricul-
tura1 marketing and to make rural
/. life more attractive and heaithful;
this need for n law regulating cold
storage in such q way a. to limit
the time during which goods may
be kept In storage, prescribing tho
method Of disposing Of them II kept
beyond the permitted period. and
requiring goods released from s4or-
age in all cases to bear the date OF
their receipt It would be most
servfceable II it were provided that
all goods relea.ed from cold stor-
age for interstate shipment should
have plainly marked upon each
package the selling or market
price at which they went into
storage, in order that the pur-
chaser might be able to learn what
profits stood between him and the
producer or the wholesale dealer.
Indeed. It would be very service
able to the public II all goods dss-
tined for interstate commerce were
made to carry upon every pack.
