FACIN G.
THE
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL
With PHILIP PEARL

President Roosevelt supplied the
news of the year to date with his
message to Congress on the state of
the nation and his annual budget
message.
These notable documents are ex-
tremely long and those who read as
they run may miss items of vital sig
nificance. This is especially true of
those portions of these messages
especially affecting labor
Of outstanding interest, it seems to
US, is the fact that the Presidents
postwar objectives dovetail exactly
with those announced by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
He says that America will seek to
free humanity from fear-fear of ag-
gression and fear of want.
The first of these objectives, as la
Dor has pointed out, can be obtained
only by complete victory over the
Axis Powers, to be followed by peace
terms which will outlaw war as a
method of settling international dis
putes and by thorough disarmament
of those nations now arrayed against
US which are perennially afflicted with
war fever-to wit, Germany, Italy and
Japan.
The second objective can be at
tanned only by comprehensive social
security program which will safe
guard men and women "from the
cradle to the grave" against the haz-
ards of poverty, illness and hunger.
That is labor's aim as well as the
Presidents.
A Word To The Wise
There were so many enlightening
and inspirational highlights in the
Presidents messages that only limita-
tions of space withhold us from pub
fishing them in full The best we can
do is to Gull few choice paragraphs
which we submit for your earnest
consideration. In his message on the
state of the nation, the President said:
"Yes-the Nazis and the Fascists
have asked for it-and they are going
to get it."
The sooner the better, say we.
Our forward progress in this war
has depended upon our progress on
the production 'front.'
Yes, and the hard work of Amer
ica's soldiers of production on the
home front has made it possible for
our fighting forces and those of our
Allies to turn the tide of the war.
''The arsenal of democracy is max
ing good"
And that, of course, is because labor
made good.
"1943 will not be an easy year for
us on the home front. We shall feel in
many ways in our daily lives the sharp
pinch of total war"
Well, labor showed in 1912 that it
could take it and dish it out too. We
won't squawk when the going gets
tougher.

mately $25,OO0,O0O over 1941.
In gallonage, the increase was more
than 100000 gallons over the pre-
ceding year.

loyal, anonymous, untiring men and
women who have worked in private
employment and in Government and
who have endured rationing and other
stringencies with good humor and

Our hat is off.
A Great Future
In this war of survival we must
keep before our minds not only the
evil things we fight against, but the
good things we are fighting for. We
fight to retain great past-and we
fight to gain greater future"
That's telling the old mossbacks!
LET us remember that economic
safety for America of the future is
threatened unless a greater economic
stability comes to the rest of the
world
In other words, goodbye isolation
ism!
Il do not prophesy when this war
will end. But | do believe that this
year of 1943 will give to the United
Nations a very substantial advance
along the roads that lead to Berlin
and Rome and Toxic.
Il tell you it is within the realm of
possibility that this Seventy y-eighth
Congress may have the historic privi-
lege of helping greatly to save the
world from future fear.
Therefore, let us-all of us-have
confidence, let US redouble our efforts.
