Truman Cites Need
For Able Statesman

i Tex.), Truman expressed his ap'
probation, then opened his cam
paign by launching Immediately
into "a statement concerning the
critical times that lie ahead"
''Victory is now in sight" he
said. "When victory is won,
government must provide for our
returning veterans and our wal
workers an assurance that their
sacrifices were not in vain; that
they will return to a country worth
fighting for; that they will have an
opportunity to earn good living;
and that the same humane prin'
ciples and policies for the protec-
ton of the average man and Wo-
man carried out under Franklin
D. Roosevelt for the past IL years
will be continued under his leader
ship.
"In the struggle to rid the world
of the enemies of democracy, the
firing of the last shot on the battle
field marks out beginning. Mill
tary victory over Germany is but
a step. Military victory over
Japan, though it may follow with
all possible speed, will be but the
completion of one turn in a long
road.
'fWar has taught us that, whether
we like it Or not, we cannot build
wall of isolation around the Unit
ed States. Our very existence de-
ponds upon the establishment and
maintenance of a sound and Just
peace throughout the world.
eff you ask the historian why we
failed to bring about a lasting
peace after World War No. l,
he will answer "a parrish struggle
for political power. We have anoth-

no mistake about the fact that
once again we also have among
us a group of isolationists as deter
mined, as bitter, and as dangerous
as the band who set themselves
against the League of Nations and
gave to Wilson's peace in 1920,
stab in the back"
Truman continued that the peace
already was partly made, that it
was being made at Casablanca,
Moscow, Quebec, Cairo and Te-
heran, that peace was a continu-

Four-Hour Pay Rule
For Students Is Eased

Until larger labor supply i,
available, employers hiring students
to work after school need pay them
only for the hours they work, rather
than the four-hour minimum re-
quired by law, the District Minimum
Wage Board decided yesterday.
Employers still must pay students
for at least four hours of work on
Saturdays, holidays, during summer
vacations or on the four days that
above-average students will be exc
cused to work before the Christmas
holidays begin December %, the
board emphasized, however. The
decision applies only to normal"
school days, Monday through Friday,
| The action taken yesterday does
not nullify the law requiring pay
ment for at least four hours, the
board explained, but merely means
that until the temporary shortage
of labor passes. employers will not
be prosecuted if they pay the stu
dent only for the two or three
hours he actually works on a regular
school day.
The board has received many
complaints from both students and
employers regarding the four-hour
provision. board officials said. The
employers wanted the students to
work for the full four hours they
were paid. while the students
wanted to quit at the end of two
or three hours to eat dinner and
do their homework. The restric-
tions against paying minors for
less than four hours work a day
have been in effect since 1898.
