complished without total sacrifice on
the part of all of our citizens.
Those who pay taxes must sacri-
flee by paying heavier and heavier
taxes. Industry and businessmen
must make their contribution by
devoting their industrial output,
when necessary, to essential war
equipment at the expense of their
normal business. Then, too, we
must have no war profiteers in this
emergency. Our boys must sacri-
flee by training for military service.
Those who labor must sacrifice by
working longer hours on defense
projects and not interrupt those
hours by unnecessary strikes. We
can tolerate no bottlenecks in our
program of total preparedness.
We must first recognize that no
nation has ever successfully ac-
complished military preparedness by
working 40 hours a week. We have
before us the tragic fate of France.
France worked 40 hours week and
Germany worked under her totali-
tartan government as much as 80
hours week. The result was that
France was overwhelmed by the
most stupendous military machine
and military equipment the world
has ever known. In the face of the
fall of France, three months later,
we reduced our Work-Week to 40
hours. Our industry is geared in
the main to a 40-hour week with,
of course, some exceptions; but
even this short workweek is being
interrupted by continuing new
strikes in vital industries.
Million Man-Days Lost.
1t is estimated that 10000 man
days have been lost in recent weeks
by strikes in defense industries, and
lost irreparably at a time when
every hour and every minute count,
and when the effort is being made
to key the Nation to quick action
to meet and overcome conditions
which endanger our country.
Labor has its proper privileges. I
want justice done to every laboring
man, but Interruptions of work
caused by chickering's and jealousies
among unions should not be tolerated
at the expense of the security Of our
Republic.
I believe in the right of labor to
collective bargaining. I know the
vast majority of American work.
men are patriots to the heart and
do not countenance the willful acts
of a small minority, but for the good
of America and for the credit of
labor, defense strikes must be stop
ped, and stopped quickly.
The Mediation Board appointed
by the President has no power to
act. 1t has no power even to in
Evening star., 1941-04-29

vestigate strikes unless certifica-
tion is first made by the Secretary
Of Labor. 1t is impotent to deal
with any situation, no matter how
grave, unless first requested TO do
so by the Secretary of Labor.
Recalling that the Secretary of
Labor never found cause to disap-
prove sit-doWn strikes, is it reason
able to wonder whether the Dykstra
board ever will be allowed to pro-
ceed to its proper functions?
In the meantime there is a tragic
loss of time in giving aid to Great
Britain-aid which the country is
demanding, aid which the Congress
of the United States has directed
should be given in unstinted meas
ure.
What Congress should do and
must do quickly is to vest the Me-
diation Board will full power to in
veStigate the strike situation
throughout the country, to endeavor
to prevent strikes before they occur,
anu OilCll w SlFV Vic DOdlu duIllOl
to enforce its own decisions Until
this is done, we have only the hope
of an aroused public opinion to pre-
vent the continued strikes In vital
defense industries, but this public
opinion, although now aroused
throughout the length and breadth
of America, has been impotent to
force those who are responsible for
the strikes to abandon their pur-
pose and work for the common
good of our republic. And I say
this with equal reference to indus
try and to labor, whichever may be
responsible for this tragic delay in
our preparedness program.
Forgetting Politics Urged.
1t is farce that in this time of
national peril board should be
created without power even to in
vestigate unless some other agency
of the Government first allows it to
do so, and then, even after such
certification is made, the new board
has no power to enforce its own de-
cisions except that of persuasion
which has already been tried and
failed.
Political considerations should
today be forgotten; all authorities
should act with promptness and
courage to meet this menace which
has arisen to our security and well
fare This is no time to hide behind
the cloak of a public act which the
people of America are told is de-
signed TO accomplish a given pur-
pose, and then refuse to give the
agency created the power and au-
thority to accomplish that purpose.
Tonight the Nation stands on the
verge of tie-up of all business. due

reduction in all expenditures of
non-defense character; a reduction
of at least $1,000,0000O0, which
I assure you can be accomplished
by efficiency, by the elimination of
duplicated agencies of government,
by a reduction in the topheavy and
constantly growing Government per-
sonnel, and by the elimination of
luxuries in government. and by cur
failing some activities that can be
spared at this time, without doing
injury to those essential services
which a government should per-
form for its people. To me, it is
ineXcusable that in the face of these
tremendous necessary defense eX-
penditures, at a time when the call
is being made to the American peo-
pie to sacrifice by paying such taxes
as have never been known in our
history, we should continue to spend
at Washington as much or more for
non-defense spending and continue
our free, easy. reckless spending.
Reduction in Budget Asked.
1t is not enough for the Secretary
of the Treasury to oppose appro-
priationS above the budget. This is
commendable, and for this he should
be congratulated, but the budget it
self should be reduced. AS that
budget was submitted to the Con-
gress by the President, the President
can revise his estimates to accom-
plish substantial reduction in this
non-defense spending. The me-
chanics of appropriations by Congrss
are not generally understood by the
public. The only composite and CO.
ordinated statement of Federal ex-
penditures comes from the President
in the submission of his budget rec
concentrations to the Congress. Ap-
preparation bills then come before
Congress singly. one for each of the
departments. Only the appropria-
ton for each department is consid-
cred at one time. Budget reductions
can be recommended in the light of
the whole and applied where they
best could be absorbed.
Let me say before I conclude that
our program of national defense is
not progressing in a way essential
to guarantee our security. The
country would be surprised to know
how few modern military planes,
how few heavy tanks, how few ships,
how few big guns America has pro-
duced since the European war be-
gan 20 months ago, and how meager
is the production of essential war
equipment scheduled for the months
ahead.
We may pass a dozen lease-lend
bills, but the huge task this country
has set its hand to cannot be ac-

interruptions in our own defense
and our aid TO Great Britain, either
from capital or labor. Such an an
nouncement would receive an over
Whelming public acclaim. The Pres
ident would unite America as we
must be united if we are to do our
part.
In millions Of homes tonight in
