Price Control on Forum
Gore of Tennessee to Discuss Ways
Of Combating Initiation in Radio Talk

Price control as a means of pre-
venting disastrous imitation will be
discussed by Representative Gore,
Democrat. of Tennessee in the Ma
tional Radio Forum at 9 pm. tomor-
row. The National Radio Forum
is arranged by The washington
Star and broadcast over the net
work of the National Broadcasting
Co. 1t is heard locally over WMALI.
Representative Gore, a member OF
the House Banking and Currency
Committee, which has reported a
modified. selective, price control bill
N the House. favors the control OF
all prices. including wages ana the
nrices of farm products and rents.
This plan for an overall ceillng is
similar to that advocated by Ber-
nard Baruch, head Of the War IN
dustries Board during the World
War.
Mr.. Gore has offered substitute
bill for that advanced by the ad-
ministration and supported by Leon
Henderson. the Presidents choice
for administrator of price control.
In the opinion of Mr.. Gore, an opin-
ion held by MI. Baruch and others,
price control will be ineffective as
q bar against terrible imitation IN
this country unless it deals with all
prices. Mr.. Gore insists that his bill
is not intended in any way as an
anti-strike measure. 1t is offered
as no cure-all for labor troubles
although it might have a beneficial
effect. 1t is intended to preserve
the workers real wages" wages

The challenge of today's tragic

make ready their minds for
changes more far reaching than
can as yet be imagined. They must
realize now and clearly that if
they are really fighting for the
people of the world as against
their despOiners they must enlist
the people on Inelr side. ..... :.
PEOPLE DESIRE PEACE
I No one, in his right mind, would
dare argue that the people of the
world do not desire peace ano
security and respect for their man.
hood and womanhood. They do de-
sire all this. But to what extent
have the "democracies" given them
this in the past? To bring the
question up to date, to what ex-
tent are the "democracies" pre-
pared to fight to give them this in
the new order which, We are told
surely belongs to them?
What about race and color and
class in the new order? What about
respect for individuality and hui
man dignity in the new order?
What is it that the "democracies"
would have lis die for? On what
ground do the "democracies" claim
the trust and support of the peo-
pie of the world in the present
struggle?
Why. i'm a word, is there such an
unwillingness on the part of the
"demOcracies" to announce their
aims? What are they holding back?
Don't they know what they are
suppose to be fighting for? Can it
be that they indeed know, bWt
dare not tell the people whose
trust and support they want?
To what extent, on wonders
have the leaders of the "democra-
cies" made ready their own minds
for the task before them, for the
Job of building better society?
Can the plans and leadership OF
the "demOcracieS" with their pro
mise of hope and betterment for
the world. outweigh and outscOre
the peoples fear and trembling in
contemplation Of a Hitler victory
and world? This is +he question
for the "democracies" to ponder
and ponder now.
