livelihood and the security of social
insurance-are, 1t seems to me, q
minimum of the promise that we can
offer to the American people. They
constitute a right which belongs to
every individual End every family
willing to work. They are the essential
fulfllment of measures already taken
toward relief, recovery and recon-
struction.
This seeking for a greater measure
of welfare and happiness does not in
dicate change in values. It is
rather a return to values lost in the
course of our economic development
and expansion.
Ample scope Is left for the exercise
of private initiative. In fact, il the
process of recovery, I am greatly hop
ing that repeated promises that pri-
vate investment and private initiative
to relieve the Government In the i'm
mediate future of much of tre burden
it has assumed will be fulfilled. We
have not imposed undue restrictions
upon business. We have not opposed
the incentive Of reasonable and legiti-
iiidtC PllFdtc pIUilJ. we ndVe Sought
rather to enable certain aspects of
business to regain the confidence of
the public. We have SOUGHT to put
forward the rule of fair play In
finance and industry.
Offer No Substitute.
1t is true that there are a few
among us who would still 20 back.
These few offer no substitute fer the
claims already made, nor any nope
for making future gains for human
happiness. They loudly assert that
individual liberty is being restricted
by Government, but wnen they are
asked what individual liberties they
have lost, they are put to it tn answer
We must dedicate ourselves anew
to a recovery Of the old and sacred
possessive rights for which mankind
has constantly struggled-homes, live
ihood, and individual security The
road to these values is the way of
progress. Neither you nor I will rest
content until we have done our ut
most to move further on that road.

plants show more than 95 per cent of
its employees are opposed to a strike.
The result of the poll was an
nounced as:
Opposed to the strike, 9,oO1; for the
strike, 460.
A statement signed by representa-
tives of the employees, recognized by
the company, said:
I'VE expect the mills to continue to
operate in spite of any strike call that
might be issued by the Amalgamated,
and we intend to do everything in our
power to protect this large majority of
the employees whom We represent and
who desire to work. We propose, if it
is found necessary, to call upon the
police authorities to protect all men
who wish to work if a strike is

in a statement by Green, president Of

Congress"
Urges Labor Legislation.
Green said in a statement that
Congress, pushing toward adjourn
ment, should pass labor legislation,
including the Wagner industrial dis
putes bill and the Connery 30-hour
week bill.
The threatened strike in the steel
industry. and the defiant statement
of the steel barons denying the steel
workers the right to collective bar
gaining" said Green, create an
emergency and for that reason Con-
greSs ought to meet it by enacting
the Wagner disputes bill into law.
The steel corporations established
their company unions, drafted the
bylaws, and through a form of in
timidation and coercion imposed their
company unions upon the workers.
This action of the steel companies
constitutes a clear violation of sec
tion U-A of the national recovery act,
which provides that workers may or
ganize and bargain collectively, free
from the intimidation and coercion of
employers"

HOMES To END

of Washington realtors, adding:
''NOr is there magic in this
home ownership business. Com
mon sense. Husbands and wives
again acquire a common interest
in the common ownership of
property. The man gains an Op-
pOrtunity to putter. He is an in
cOrrigible putterer.
ut doesn't make a particle of
difference what he does about
the house SO long as he finds
something to do. Trimming the

pot are essentials to his wife's
peace of mind. Use of them
helps the family digestion and
keeps the family temper on an
even keel.
Moreover, intelligent putter-
Ing materially helps out the

the work bench or with the
paint brush, in short, is good for
almost anything ailing you"

Borrowers of Modernization
Loans to Save on Interest

Contrary to the doubt expressed
in some quarters regarding the
propriety of the interest rates on
home modernization loans as
established by the National Hous-
ing Administrator, borrowers un-
der the terms of the new housing
program will find it possible to
make substantial savings in inter
est cost over the usual methods OF
installment purchasing, in the
opinion of the Home Improvement
Council, which was recently organ.
lied here, with units functioning
or being established in Washing
ton, Alexandria, Arlington county,
Va; Prince Georges county, Md,
and Montgomery county, Md.
An example of such saving in
interest costs on the part of the
borrower making a certain type Of
home modernization loan has been
brought to the attention of the
council by Dorsey R. Beane, Of
the Griffith Consumers Company,
of this city. According to Mr..
Beane, the NRA code relating to
the installment selling of oil
burners for home heating limits
the term of payment to two years,
during which period the buyer
pays a total interest of 10 per
cent on the amount Of the pur-
chase. Under the terms govern
ing undermining loans, various
methods of lending are open to
the lending institutions, but the
highest rate of interest that may
be charged cannot exceed a total
interest of more than .0972 per
cent.
Mr.. Beane points out, however.
that it will be the policy of the
Griffith Consumers Company, and
undoubtedly, of other reputable
oil burner dealers, to allow the
purchaser who buys by means Of
a home moderniZation loan a
flat discount from the regular pur-
chase price, and this discount for
cash will thus decrease the net in
terest on the home modernization
note.
Because cash payment through
the new type of loans will enable
dealers and contractors to make
a relatively rapid turnover on their
