Wage Reform Needed

industrial wages shall not fall,
and a ceiling beyond which the
hours of industrial labor shall
not rise.
Here again let us analyZe the
opposition. A part of it is sin
cere in believing that an effort
thus to raise the purchasing
power of lowest paid industrial
workers is not the business of
t he Federal vernme t.
Others give Zip service" to a
general objective, but do not
like any specific measure that
is proposed. In both cases it is
worth our while to wonder
whether some of these oppon-
entS are not at heart opposed
to any program for raising the
wages of the underpaid or re-
ducing the hours Of the over
worked.
Another group opposes legis-
lation of this type on the ground
that cheap labor will help their
locality to acquire industries and
outside capital, or to retain in.

President RooseDeH:s Message to the New Congress

walk of life. They have expressed themselves through
the ballot box"

dollars in the year 1882 to about 68 billion dollars in

Tax Reform Needed

of ability to pay. These are the
same compliments who for a
generation blocked the imposi-
ton Of a graduated income tax.
They are the same complain
ants who would impose the type
of flat sales tax which places
the burden of Government more
on those least able to pay and
less on those most able to pay.
Our conclusion must be that
while proven hardships should
be corrected, they should not be
corrected in such a way as to
restore abuses already termi-
mated or to shift a greater bur
den to the less fortunate.
This subject leads, naturally,
into the wider field Of the public
attitude toward business. The
objective of increasing the pur-
chasing power of the farming
third, the industrial third, and
the service third Of our popula-
ton presuppoSes the coopera-
tion of what we call capital and
labor.
The Washington times., 1938-01-03

Capital is essential: reason
able earnings on capital are es-
sential; but misuse of the pow
ers of capital or selfish suspen-
sion of the employment of CAPT.
tai must be ended, or the capt.
talitic system will destroy itself
through its own abuses.
The overwhelming majority
of business men and bankers
intend to be good citizens. Only
q small minority have displayed
poor citizenship by engaging in
practices which are dishonest
or definitely harmful to society.
This statement Is straight for
ward and true. No person in
any responsible place in the
Government of the United
States today has ever taken any
position contrary to it.
But, unfortunately for the
country, when attention is
called to, or attack is made on
specific miSues of capital, there
has been a deliberate purpose
on the part Of the condemned
minority to distort the criticism
The Washington times., 1938-01-03
Balance Sought

includes those who for partisan
purposes oppose each and every
practical effort to help the sit
uation, and also those who make
money from undue fluctuations
in crop prices.
I gladly note that measures
which seek to initiate a Gov
ernment program for a bal
anced agriculture are now in
conference between the two
houses of the Congress. In their
final consideration, I hope for
a sound, consistent measure
which will keep the cost Of its
administration within the figure
of current Government expendi-
lures in aid of agriculture. The
farmers of this nation know
that a balanced output can be
put into effect without excessive
cost and with the cooperation
of the great majority of them
If this balance can be ere
ated by an. all-weather farm
program. our farm population
will soon be assured of relatively
constant purchasing power.
From this will flow two other
practical results: The consum.
ing public will be protected
against excessive food and tex
tile prices, and the industries
of the nation and their workers
will find a steadier demand for
wares sold to the agricultural
third Of our people.
