Of living in outlining tonight
a home front program gear
ed to the major fighting
which he said still lies ahead.
In a radio address, he hint
ed also that vast new opera

tiative but it would be "of no

ously with great forces
On two of the most-agitat-
ed domestic questions, food

rrogress is being made" on

that President Roosevelt has
approved an order for length
ening the work day in some
coal mines from seven to
eight hours.
Program Is Underway
Ton officials, by direction OF
President Roosevelt. he reported,
are working on "a food price pro-
pram with a view to stabilizin5 the
cost of living as nearly as practical
Bile at the level fixed by Congress
(as of September, 1s42).
There will be a substantial re-
duction in the cost Of actual ne
cessities-not of fancied wants." he
said. In that connection, Byrnes
also spoke strongly in favor OF
subsidies for price "rollbacks"
against which a majority OF Con-
gress has voted.
Because of need for more coal
he reported, Mr.. Roosevelt hac
annroved an order allowing Sec
retarv of Interior Ickes to institute
an eight-hour day, 40-hour week in
selected coal mines. This would
mean a substantial increase in
weekly pay for miners who staged
three major work stoppages in the
L spring and early summer in con-
y nection with demands for So day
wage increases.)
In his second radio address since
he became home front chief,
Byrnes declared the tide of battle
has turned in favor Of the Allies
because we have succeeded in
mo5ilizing for'War."
But he spoke against over-con-
fdence based on a belief that Italy
no longer possesses the will to
fight, and said:
There is nothing to justify the
hope of unconditional surrender by
the Axis powers in the near fu-
ture. It is by no means clear that
we are today as near winning the
war as the Axis was in the summer
Of 1910.

Japan has yet commenced. The

ers Of the Japs. No Allied army
has crossed the borders Of Ger

sands Of American soldiers will

roads to Berlin and Tokyo are still

Our over-confidence is based in

The occupation, achieved in
