Postwar Food Farley
Is Being Considered,
Roosevelt Declares
Second Front Dispute
Revived by His Remark
On StoIin Statement

The second front controversy was
under way again today in the wake
of President Roosevelt's remark at
his press conference that second
front of sorts had been opened in
North Africa. He said that in answer
to questions about his reaction to
the statement by Premier Stain that
Russia was carrying the whole
weight of the war in Europe because
OF the lack of a second front.
The President disclosed at vester-
days press conference that a United
Nations conference is under con-
sideration to discuss plans for post
war international food supply pro-
gram-designed to prevent famines
or surpluses and to insure profits for
growers. He emphasized that no
oennlte decision had been reached
concerning the conference. but he
hoped 1t might take place this spring
Let's Win the War.
Mr.. Roosevelt voiced a hope that
many things being done in wartime
would be revised and repealed when
the conflict is over and normal con-
dltlons prevail once more.
What do you hope to see re-
pealed?" a reporter inquired.
That has nothing to do with the
price of eggs. Mr.. Roosevelt reported
Let's win the war-that's the point
he added.
Asked for comment on Soviet Pre-
mier Stains assertion. Mr., Roose-
welt said he had read only the head
lines and added that he knew what
headlines could do to articles.
When reporter remarked that
Premier Stain apparently indicated
that after the Red Army had pushed
the Germans out of Russia it would
be through, Mr.. Roosevelt said he
was sure the Premier did not saw
that. and advised the questioner not
to try to interpret.
Spellman Visited Roosevelt.
The primary objective of Arch
bishop Francis j. Spellman's trip to
Europe, the President said. is to
visit military and naval units.
He declared he could not comment
when asked whether the New York
Archbishop was on a mission for him
or carrying any message to the
Vatican, but he added the church
man was making the journey in
his capacity as a chaplain bishop.
Archbishop Spellman stopped in
Spain en- route to the Holy See.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had seen
Archbishop Spellman before his
departure.

fact that it would have been diff
cult if not impossible to order a 49,

without riSking an even greater
threat to our stabilize ton program
than that alleged to be involved in
overtime payments"
Overtime Pay Basic.
CThe executive order for the
48-hour week left in effect the
Fair Labor Standard Acts provi-
sion for payment of time -and-a-
half wage rates for work over 40
hours a week. That applies to
all work connected with inter
state commerce.
Under the Sterilization Act pass
ed by Congress on October g." Mr..
Byrnes continued, lit would be i'm
possible to take away the existing
right to overtime pay unless it was
compensated by an increase in basic
hourly rates. The act forbids a de-
crease in wages below the highest
paid between January l and Sep
TENDER Is, 1912. =
1T is said that if we could not de-
crease the wages, We could increase
the basic rates. An increase in basic
rates in these high-wage war indus
tries would provoke irresistible de-
mands for pay increases in lower
paid industries.
Whether we like it or not, in time
of peace, overtime payments become
a basic part of contractual relations
between industry and labor, and
to reform them now would require
profound industrial readjustments.
Urges Farm Payments.
I'm the midst of total war we
should not tamper with the rules of
the industrial system, unless it is
clear that change is vitality nee

Mr.. Byrnes also urged incentive

tons subcommittee rejected an ad-
requSet for 100000, 900

the farmer for those
added costs. The only way to secure
output from the farmer and to COM
pensate the farmer for his added
costs without disrupting the whole
program is to make in
centlye payments to the farmer for
increasing his output. In my judg-
ment this is not substituting either
the farmer or the consumer 1t is
