Quebec ParIeys Scanned
Problems Of Italians

WASHINGTON, Sept. %
UP) - President Roosevelt
said Friday that he and
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill devoted a great
deal of time in Quebec to
planning for the gradual
transfer of more responsible
ity to the Italian government,
and developing plans to pre-
vent the Italian people from
starving and freezing to death this
winter.
MIR. Roosevelt said he and Chur-
chill also talked a lot about the
future of Germany. But he said
there could be no news on this
phase of their discussion at present.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed satisfac-
ton with progress being made in the
Dumbarton Oaks international Sc
curity conferences, saying that he
thought the achievement OF 80 per
cent agreement was a darn good
batting average.
Asked about the Italian political
situation, the President said he
did not like lynchings-this in OBJ
vious reference to the mob Staying
of a Fascist involved in the trial
of Pietro Caruso, who was police
chief of Rome during the latter
stages of the German occupation.
Asked why the Dumbarton Oaks
conference had been delayed SO
much" Mr.. Roosevelt explained that

Dewey Outlines
Security Set-up

TIE WOIlu we live IN must become
a better world
To that end we must work to-
gether to increase the security of
the individual against the hazards
of old age, of unemployment, of i'll
health"
Dewey charged that the Roosevelt
administration had done nothing
toward improvement of the 1885
Social Security act. except for a
few changes in 1899. He rejected
the thought that social progress is
an invention of the present admin
iStration.
1T is nothing new for Americans
to be concerned about social prog
ress. he argued. Social progress in
America did net begin in 1888. It
began when the first settlers came
to this country. 1t was in the blood
of those men who came to these
shores to found a new kind of ma
ton. 1t has been as inSistent as the
growth of our country 1t is in our
blood today"
Point by point. Dewey discussed
his program. He said there are 90
100000 Americans not yet covered
by old age and survivors, insurance
or some other pension or retirement
system.
Another serious omission" he
said, is men and women now in
military service. He said those who
held jobs covered by old age insur-
ance before the war suffer a gap
in their old-age benefits" unless the
law is changed.
Dewey recognized problems in ex-
tending social security coverage and
said it will be necessary to change
the method of collecting social Sc
curity taxes to avoid imposing a
bookkeeping burden on small en-
ployers But he promised such prob
lens can and will be solved"
He said that when job replace
ment is returned to the states it
should be combined with the state
employment insurance program un-
der a single administrator.
On the subject of medical service
for the needy, he said the program
should be worked cut with the CO.
operation of medical men.
There can be no group better
able to advise on medical care than
the medical profession" he said.
Yet. unhappily, this is the very
group which the New Deal has
managed to ALLEVIATE"
For returning veterans, he con-
ceded that the G. l. Bill of Rights
recognizes service to veterans as a
national responsibility but said it
wasn't enough.
Every veteran should be able to
talk over his plans with some one
at home" he said. There should
be some one who can tell him where
to lock for the best possible job,
how to 60 after that job. how to
continue his education if he wants
TO.
The state and the home commu-
nifty can do this best because they
alone have an intimate understand
ing of the personal problems in
volved"
Heading eastward for one more
major speech, at Oklahoma City
next Monday Dewey said he had
found in his trip across country un-
precedented national unity. He said
that uppermost in the minds of all
is a determination to win crush
ing victory over Germany and
Japan. After that. he said, the peo-
pie want a lasting peace and Amer
ican participation in permanent
world organization for peace.

Tests of patriotism come one af-

On the civilian front as well as
on the fighting front this is true
Today the people of the South Lin
coin County Chapter face the Red
Cross 1914 War Fund campaign
test for unity of spirit and of pur-
pose here and everywhere through
out our land.
Fading in importance at the mo-
ment is the factp&hat we came
through the Fourth War Loan cam
paign with flying colors, that 9TH
er drives have brought response
to chill the enemy.
Right now the community is con-
cerned with the Red Cross appeal
AS on a field of battle, past &C
complishments count for naught il
the coming offensive fails.
Americas armed might is abou,
to be hurled against the enemy in
the greatest onslaught yet seen in
Europe. On the Pacific front, too
the attack is widening.
For successful psychological war
fare against the enemy, for morale
of the oppressed areas of the world
for the sake of the home town lads
who are giving their life blood
in the stencil and muck of armed
conflict, it is vital that we here
in Libby and Troy and Warland
and adjacent vicinities do better
than usual in exceeding the Red
Cross goal, Of 2,700.
Friday, the 10Th, the workers
will start calling at the homes and
they wish that everyone will be
ready with a generous contribution
If for any reason anyone is not con-
tacted they may leave their gift
