Dewey Takes Positive Steps Toword Maximum Employment, COP Says
Ry the Republican National Committee

By the Republican National Committee M
 NEARLY year ago. MT. Bernard Baruch said we must hurry, hurry, hurry in effecting plans for those displaced through reconversion. MT, Baruchs warning was addressed primarily to President Roose welt for whom he was preparing plan,
 Today the plan has been presented and pgeon- holed Tho warning stil remains, So for as can be determined nothing else has been done about the matter either by the White House, or by any of It's multfarious executive agencies,
 Temporarily, the administration doubtless fig- ures in Its comfortably hay fashion there Is always unemployment insurance, which may tide the whole matter over until something else turns up Of course unemployment insurance payments at best are very meager compared with jobs on any union scale of wages and at most they are available to "out-of- workers" for only very limited time.
 APPARENTLY, the administration has taken refuge behind President Roosevelts melancholy con- clusion that: "There may be unemployment during the period of reconverson" and is content to let 1t 90 ct that
 Certainly 1t has offered nothing more practical than such tentative suggestions as that Of Secretary of Interior Ickes who says 50000o manyears can be spent building dams for flood control and power de- velopments on the T. v. A. model Secretary 1okes offer also includes gigantic inventory of national timber, mineral and other natural resources along with census of the fish and game In our streams and woods,
 But in plain language this gigantic project with It's 1,bUOOOU mon~yeatS means Jopb-01 kluu-4OG just l5oO000 for one year. That's ell, and It's not enough when laid alongside the 100000 men and women who were out of work in 1889, before the war boom interrupted the Roosevelt depression. It's not enough in view of the or 10 million veterans who expect jobs on their return.
 It Is in glarlng contrast to the reeord-0ctually made not merely projectedof the administration of New York State under Governor Dewey
 INSTEAD of moaning that 'there may be unem- ployment' Governor Dewey nthe New York State administration has worked diligently to that there will be employment and employment not merely at war levels but expansive enough to take care of million extra workers who will be demob!lized and who iwll rightfully expect ojbs in their home state
 Instead of conducting domestic war on business along with the wars on Germany and Japan, Gov e1ncr Dewey as Governor of New York State has focused energies on helping private employers with technical advice, and the promotion of new enter- prses, especially small business enterprise which spurs the ambition Of most Americans, and from which most big business in America has grown.
 The goal which Governor Dewey set for New York State is the exact philosophical reverse of President RooseVelts resignation to unemployment, "Our goal" Governor Dewey said to 0. I. O. con- Vention, =. Is maximum employment and ma%i- mum production which lead to maximum conSump- ton and an ever higher standard of living"
 Many believe that that philosophy @ what the boys are fighting for aboard
