problems Of farm labor and supplies,
In his address at the Second Con-
gressional church forum last night.
Pointing out that outcome Of the
war hangs In the balance, more
precariously than many believe"
Cong. Talbot said that the United
Nations can win the war providing

to the productive advantages of his
country. He declared that Amer
icas position enables her to be the
leading producer Of war materials
among all the countries of the
world and the greatest producer of
food supplies, enough to supply all
the United Nations.
Cong, Talbot predicted rise in
taxation to meet the requirements
Of war expenditures, and added that
he cannot understand the OPPOSE
ton to the method of tax collection
offered by the Ruml plan on the
part of Treasury officials and the
ways and means committee of the

through lend-lease, he added, Of
necessity we will have less of every
thing to which we have been used

Mr.. Goldstein said there is q
great need for watches as all the
