ia which government is the dominant
foctor in all our lives.
In the problem our notion foces,
there ore three portners. Each hos

ner is industry, to which we turn tor
the means Of defense and the imple-
nents of peoce - the factories, forms
and mines, the power plants which mo-
tivote the machines, the Transporter
ton systems which haul the raw mo-
terioIs and the finished goods = these
are the backbone of America. Privote
Industry must do 9reoter job than
il ever did before to demonstrate its
production and service superiority as its
reason for existence.
The second partner is labor - the
men who operate the machines and
build the weapons of defense and the
necessities and Iuxuries Of peooe The
responsibility Of labor is crystal clear.
Ii must work harder. and produce more.
Ii must outflow strikes and settle 9riev-
onces between it and industry. over the
arbitration tobIe. II must put oside
getty jeolousies and internal differ
erces for the duration Of the emergen-
3,'if il wishes to hold public sympathy
and good will.
The third partner is government. Its
finoncioI strength depends upon toxes
token from the earnings Of privote in
dustry. The duty Of government now
IS to adopt policy Of friendly cooper
otion with industry. and thus help it
meet the extraordinarily difficult prob
lens it foces in order to supply the
emergency needs Of government.
So it's up to the three portners now.
