With Peace, She Says
Earlier Story on Page A-a.)

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
stressed today the Importance of
obtaining & wider understanding
among Americans of the objectives
of the war effort. Addressing the
Childrens Bureaus Commission on
Children in Wartime at the Labor
Department, she declared that it as
not enough ito fight the war"
Those who fight the war must
know that when they return they
will have country worth living in"
she said, and added that if the men
in the armed forces feel that the
days of 1892 and 1893" are going
TO return after the war, the effec-
tiveness of their efforts will be i'm
paired.
Views Not Made Known.
There is disposition in Congress
to regard as of little value anything
not directly related to the war effort,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared. The atti-
tude of Congress, she added, repre-
sents the point of view of public
opinion back home.
AllOSS WIN nave dn lIlIST6SG III
the future of the country as well
as winning the war have neglected
to make their views known to their
respective communities, Mrs. Roose-
welt said. I'VE ought to get back
to the grassroots and make people
think of realities, rather than
phrases"
Value of Organization.
Political leaders, she said, are op-
posed to so-called pressure groups,
and mention of an organized youth
movement 'scares them almost to
death" She expressed the opinion
that it is good for people who be
lieve in certain objectives" to organ
ize and stressed the value of organ
lied political action and publicity
in a broader understanding of the
objectives of the war.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke at the morn
Ing session of the commission, which
was devoted to a discussion of the
needs of children in defense areas.
Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, chief
Of the Children's Bureau, intro
duced Mrs. Roosevelt.

Islands to Australia. Happily, to-
day we find him in Australia as
supreme commander of the forces

II hope that from now on many
of those who are Swivel-chair gen.

of War, the Secretary of the Navy
and Gen. Marshall what to do and
how to move the various armed
forces. will just remember that this
very day there are movements in
force in different parts of the globe
that will be just as effective and
Just as pleasing to the American
people when they mature, as is this
one"
Welcomed by Allies.
Acting Secretary of State Welles
said Gen. MacArthur's assignment
is a matter of self -congratulation to
every American citizen. He added
that he felt sure it would be well
coined by all the united peoples
working together in the Pacific.
THE best news of the war" was
the description supplied by Chair
man Vinson of the House Naval
Committee. who added. we have
got to hold Australia and now we
will hold ii"
The only woman Senator. Mrs.
Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas,
said, That should relieve a lot of
people back home who have been
writing me to get Macarthur out. +"
Senator Hayden, Democrat, of
Arizona, said the announcement
ought to be very stimulating to
the morale of all troops. 1t puts a
very brave and capable soldier at
their head. He would not have left
Bataan unless its defense was in
good hands"
Macarthur now will be able to
do bigger things toward hberating
the Philippines" said Representa-
tive Dingell, Democrat of Michigan.
He expressed belief that the men
left in command on Bataan PENN
sula will do all right"
House Republican Leader Martin:
"I am delighted. His appointment
will give great confidence to the
American people"
Will Raise Confidence.
Representative Boehne, Democrat,
of Indiana: That's the finest thing
that has happened, militarily speak
ing"
Representative Duncan, Democrat,
of Missouri: "It is very definite
evidence of the fact that the Allied
Nations are making every effort to
meet the situation and they have
selected man who undoubtedly
knows more about problems of the
war in the Far East than any other
man"
Representative Carlson, Republi-
can, of Kansas: THAT will do more
to instill confidence in the American
people than anything that has hap
pened since December T."
Representative Jenkins, Repubu-
can, of Ohio: "It will restore con-
fidence among all the peoples of the
Allied Nations"

the cost of war materials. Fine
words will not win this war. Men
cannot go on demanding increases
in wages and increases in profits
We propose to win this war. 1t can't
be won by money, but it can be
lost by waste"
Senator Connally told the Senate
that the action of President Roose-
velt in sending Gen. Macarthur to
Australia to be in command of all
the forces in the Southern Pacific
will give to the United Nations their
greatest thrill in many day.
Gen. Macarthur is the outstand-
ing military leader of the war" con-
tinued Senator Connally. Il cannot
disclose because of military reasons
the forces which he will command
in Australia and in the Southern
Pacific, but you can be certain that
Gen. Macarthur will use them to the
best advantage"
Senator Connally said that I'VE
will have dark days, but we are not
going to lose this war" He pointed
out that democracy is always slow
and always unprepared at the be-
ginning of a war.
I'VE always finally wake up and
win" he continued.
Demands End of Strikes.
Senator Connally said he was in
favor of suspending the 40-hour
work week, of preventing strikes in
war industries and of doing every
thing possible to win the war. He
said that he had bill which would
have stopped strikes. now on the
Senate calendar, and that he in
tended to ask for action on it.
The waste is not all on account
of labor and labor COST" he con-
tinued, but is due in part also to
the extreme profits which some in
dustries are making. We will take
care of these huge profits when the
next tax bill comes before us. I
am in favor of a recapture clause
which will take away these profits. -
Informing the House of Gen. Mac
Arthur's new assignment Repre-
sentative Snyder, Democrat, OF
Pennsylvania, said, "22 days ago

feet of the wage-hour law, the labor
official saying that it was agreed
that the 40-hour week should re-
main as a standard. Time and a
half should be paid for overtime,
he continued. with double time on
Sundays.
24-Hour Schedules Urged.
In this latter connection, he said
there was discussion OF whether

ing day within a single week.
Emphasizing that labor is in
thorough agreement on desirability
of continuous operation. Mr. Green
said management should take every
possible step to put plants on a "a
hour basis.
1T was agreed" Mr.. Green con-
tinued. that continuous operation
has been thoroughly approved and
recommended by labor. All these
steps will make it possible to work
"a hours a day. We urged that man
agement make it possible, as rapid
ly as possible, to operate on a "a
hour basis"
The A. F.. L. executive declared
there are no strikes interfering with
production today, and Mr.. Murray
added that the President had ex-
pressed great satisfaction with the
willingness of both labor factions to
eliminate jurisdictional disputes
which might interfere with war pro-
.duction.
Mr.. Murray said it was agreed that
voluntary action on the part of
labor to yield its right to strike was
a more satisfactory answer to the
problem of production and national
unity than restrictive enactments
by the Federal Congress.
Others at Conference.
In addition to the two labor lead
erS. the board also includes George
Meany and Daniel j. Tobin of the
federation, and R. j. Thomas and
Julius Emspak of the c. I. o. Sid
ney Hillman of the Labor Division
of the War Production Board also
participated in today's- conference.
Congress will soon realize that
we can no more win this war with a
40-hour week in the arsenal of de-
mocracy than we could with a 40
hour week in the foxholes of Ba-
taan," Senator Vandenberg doomed,
as he demanded that lawmakers quit
trying ito fool ourselves and the
public"
Senator George, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. added
that unless both industry and labor
were willing to take less-not
more" that this country would not
win the war.
The Germans and Japs are fight
ing with a fervor of religious zeal
ots," Senator George said, his voice
ringing as he demanded that this
country show some of this same
fervor."
Extortionate Profits"
Agreeing In the main With Sem
ator George, Senator Connally,
Democrat, of Texas said, however,
that America would not lose this
war although the people and Con-
greSs were SLOW to wake up to
the gravity of the situation.
I'm In favor of suspending the
40-hour week for the duration of
the war and in favor of regulating
and preventing strikes. However,
waste is not all with labor" Senator
Connally declared.
There are extortionate profits
being demanded and received by
contractors with the Army and
Navy and I'm going to vote for any
possible amendment to recapture
unreasonable profits
