priorities to defense undertakings
=" " we must not lose sight of those
governmental activities that are vital
to our long-term safety, such as the
protection of our soil, the safeguard
ing of national health, the protec-
ton of morale, and the preparation
of post-emergency adjustments. In
a broader sense, these are measures
of national defense"

Is composed OF Frederic A. Delano,
chairman; DR.. Charles E. Merriam
and George F. Yantis. The director
is Charles w. Eliot.
The text of President Roosevelt's
message transmitting the report fol-
lows:
National defense is more than a
mobilization of a Nations armed
strength. Equally must we focus
public thought on the ideals and
objectives of our national life. We
must seek wider understanding of
the possibilities for that future we
prepare to defend.
Among those possibilities are the
larger use, the conservation and de-
velopment of the Nations resources
have from time to time during the
past eight years, called to the at
tention of the Congress these possi-
eral laws have been enacted to pro-
mote the orderly development and
prudent husbandry of our national
resources, human as well as mate
rial.
THE National Resources Planning
Board has now completed its report,
which I send you herewith on the
Development of Resources and the
Sterilization of Employment in the
UniteC States. This is the first of
series of such reports which each
year I shall transmit to the Con-
gress shortly after submission of the
budget of the United States.
Policy Is Long Range.
"The budget contains the recon-
mendations Of the Chief Executive
for the financial outlays to carry on
a public works program during the
next fiscal year. This report places
these recommendations within the
framework of a long-range policy Of
intelligent planning for the future.
It contains six-year program of
public construction and a statement
of related future policies and plans
of the Federal Government.

ChiIdren'S s Bureau
To Aid Defense
Working Out Plans Fol
Protection During
Air Rdids

Washington, D. C. QLNS). - Chill
dren's Bureau, U. S. Department Of
Labor, cooperating with the Office of
Civilian Defense, is working out def
mite plans for protection of children
in American cities in the event of air
raids, Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of
the bureau, announces.
Miss Lenroot said all possible pre-
cautions will be taken. Measures for
safeguarding children are being de-
veloped. Even should removal to
places of safety become necessary,
comprehensive plans for carrying out
such procedures will exist and will be
ready to be put in operation.
British Methods Studied
Methods of child protection under
emergency conditions which the Chill
dren's Bureau will recommend, and
which it will help communities to
carry out, will be based on the best
world experience available, Miss Len
root said. The associate chief of the
Children's Bureau, DR.. Martha M.
Eliot, made a survey in England early
this year Of British procedures in re-
gard to various precautions necessary
for protecting the well-being and lives
Of children, and evacuation from CEN
ters under bombing She also obtained
much valuable information on ways in
which the British government is safe
guarding the health and nervous
energy of it's children under conditions
of severe stress. All this has gone
into plans being made by the U. S.
Children's Bureau for the guidance Of
this nation and of every state and
community in dealing with wartime
problems of child-welfare.
Parents Morale Vital
"Above all other emergency precau-
tions I would place the morale Of the
parents as necessary to the health and
actual safety of children" Miss Len
root declared. "We must not allow
fright, anxiety, and panic to have any
place in American family life today.
These things do not help in an emer.
gency, and they do seriously damage
the health and the nervous systems of
little children. The first duty of every
mother to her children is to show
them an example Of cheerfulness and
calm, to make them part of a family
project for being useful to the nation

Heroic AFL Workers Fight Jops
At Side Of Marines In Pucific

Washington, D. C.-Far out in the
Pacific Ocean, on tiny island outposts
of Americas vital defenses, hundreds
of courageous American Federation of
Labor members flung down the tools
of their trade, picked up whatever
weapons were at hand and fought
valiantly side by side with American
Marines and soldiers against the

vastly superior japanese forces!
This was the electrifying news con-
veyed to the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor by the
Navy Department.!
"These civilian workers gave very
good account Of themselves" said the
terse Navy Department informant.
Although the news reports were
meager and details lacking, it was
learned that American Federation of

: gagged in actual fighting on Guam,
Midway and Wake Islands.
There were 700 workers stationed

Highlights of the momentous decla-

follow:
The issue is squarely and starkly

middle of the war when Japan
launched it's unheralded and treach-
erous attacks.
The fate of the 400 workers at
Guam is considered especially desper-
ate in view of the official Navy an
nouncement that this island "proba-
bly," was captured by the Japanese
after severe fighting. However, at the
other islands, the workers, at last re-
port, were still fighting side-by- side
with the nations armed forces in
heroic fashion.
Even as this news from the war
front was received, the Building and

the nations capital took immediate
steps to throw in it's entire resources
behind Americas war effort.

AFL Adopts Strict No-Strike Code
For The Duration Of World War No. z

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation Of Labor took immediate
and decisive action to help America
win the war!
AS the armed forces of our Navy
and Army went out into battle
against the Axis powers, the Fedora
tion made these sweeping moves on
the home front to insure victory:
1.-The Executive Council adopted
strict no-strike policy to be fol-
lowed by all AFL members for the
duration of the war.
2-The officers of all affiliated ma
tional and international unions, meet
ing in special session here, unani-
mously pledged that their organiza-
tions would live up 100 per cent to the
no-strike policy.
3-The Council urged the Govern
ment to set up a War Labor Board,
similar to the one which functioned
so successfully in the last war, to set
tie any disputes that may arise by
conciliation, mediation or arbitration.
"A new peace offer to the CIO in
the interests of national unity was ex-
tended by the conference of national

for price increases. These factors are
unimportant compared to the inroads
of speculation and monopoly. Big
business and spectators have raised
prices, fostered artificial scarcity, and
made huge profits from shortages
which in most cases could have been
avoided if the Government had taken
action in time. The American people
are now paying for the early failure
to expand production of critical items
like steel and aluminium, and to de-
velop such transportation facilities as
freight cars and pipe lines. The re-
port lambastes the policy of giving
most defense contracts to the corpora
tions which have been gouging the
public, while many small plants re-
main idle.
The rising tide of profits is the best
proof that profteering and specula-
ton have been permitted to run

man in this country, Germany, Italy
and Japan cannot long stand before
US. Our nation comes first.
If circumstances are such that
1912 picnic would be unwise, we as
sure our friends that it will only be
a postponement and not a permanent
death to this annual event.
However, all indications point to a
real day of merriment this June 13.
We hope you can all be there and that
our country will have proven the
superiority of the democratic way of
life in that comparatively short time.
