THE EXECUTIVE COUNCILS
STATEMENT

Following is the text of the Execu-
tive Councils statement with regard
to cost of living problems:
Mounting prices of food constitute
the greatest threat to the stability of
labor relations and to the progress of
the war production program.
The workers of our country are
seriously concerned by the fact that
the purchasing power of their wage
dollar continues to shrink day by day
despite the Governments efforts to
control prices. Signs of unrest multi
ply in many major industries.
The Executive Council is convinced
that the economic stabilization pro-
gram has worked thus far in only one
direction-and that is to freeze wages.
We were promised that the cost of
living would be stabilized along with
wages. This promise has not been
kept.
Fundamental changes are necessary
to solve this grave problem which af-
fects our entire war effort. The Office
of Price Administration and the War
Food Administration have failed to do
the job. Lack of authority and lack of
the proper personnel may be partly
responsible for this failure, but the
most important factor has been the
absence of agreement on basic objec-
tives and methods.
1t would be futile to try to unscram-
BILE the mess that the OPA and VIA
have made of the food situation. The
best approach would be to make an
entirely new start
The broad objectives of the new
program should be:
Ito provide for the production of
sufficient food for all our war time
needs.
2-To bring the prices of food back
into equitable relationship with wages
and to stabilize both at a reasonable
and fair level.
The Executive Council is convinced
that pressure for wages increases will
relax as soon as prices are rolled back
all along the line. By the same token,
unless prices are cut back to Septem-
Der, 1912, levels, labor will have no
other recourse but to insist upon an
up-to-date revision of the Little
Steel" formula by the War Labor
Board.
We are informed that the President
is now preparing new cost of living
control program, part of which will
require congressional action. The
Executive Council earnestly urges the
President to take Labor's recommen-
dations into consideration. We feel

were many courts in Europe, and
representatives from those lands
wore the very colorful and brilliant
ly ornamented uniforms which ap-
pearance at court demanded. Dip
lomats, dressed in greatly embel-
lished uniforms and plumed hats,
called on the Chief Executive, then
joined the ladies of their families
and went on to the Secretary Of
States breakfast. These uniforms,
with the dress uniforms of the
armed services, added brilliance to
both the reception at the White
House and to the midday breakfast
at the Pan-American.
The age-old custom Of calling on
friends New Year Day, to wish them
well throughout the coming months,
still is carried on, though in these
modern days of equality for men
and women, the ladies are not stay
