intends to produce from fruits and
fruit juices. He must also state the
number of pounds of prepared fruit
or pints OF fruit juices he intends to
use in making jellies and the num-
Der of pounds of prepared fruit pulp
| he intends to use in making fruit

For three years past the payments into
old-age insurance were supposed to rise

cent of our income, up to SO 600 a year,
into the Treasury for old-age insurance,
and this is matched by employers.
For the past three years that was sup

High employment and production in

go long way toward establishing world

too little emphasized in official circles"
Ruml said. THE Baruch- Hancock re-

much beyond saying that the Govern
ment should pay its bills promptly and

interest and the human element into
account This is good as far as it goes.
but it leaves much important planning
still to be done by others.
Both the Senate and the House have
committees that are studying the prob
lens of peacetime reconstruction. This,
too is good, but I doubt whether effort
to date is proportional to the task. The
problem of domestic recovery and long
term prosperity should no longer be so
neglected, nor should it be relegated to
the private agencies of agriculture labor
and business. Much as these private
agencies can and must do they cannot
do all. Indeed they cannot even do their
part without proper governmental lead
ership and cooperation.
I'VE must succeed at home if we are

that it he made the subject of a thor

practices.

Evening star., 1944-03-19
By Charles G. Ross.

This space today goes to two speakers
at the recent Chicago conference of the
National Committee on Housing
Beardsley Ruml and Henry j. Kaiser.
Neither of these men needs any ex-
tended introduction. Ruml, besides be-
ing the author of the famous "Ruml
PLAN for getting Federal income taxa
ton on pay -as-you-go basis, is the
treasurer of R. H. Macy e. Co. of New
York and chairman of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank. Kaiser is the
miracle-working shipbuilder.
In the task of postwar construction
which primarily is the task of prevent
ing unemployment-both these hard
headed businessmen see unique chal-
lenge to American industry.
These men are not starry-eyed dream
erS; they have had to meet payrolls.
Yet both are planners, and they talk the
new language of social responsibility on
the part of business.
Rights of All Recognized.
1--WE have entered" says Kaiser, "the
century of social consciousness when the
rights of all are recognized-a fact for
which we may well give thanks"
The practical fact" says Ruml, 'is
that we can have tolerable social and
working conditions in this country only
at higher levels of prosperity than we
have ever known. These levels can only
be reached by the hardest kind of work,
the most imaginative planning and CO.
operation among all special interest
groups"
The conference at Chicago brought
out the enormous potentialities of low
cost housing as a maker of jobs after the
war. Kaiser pointed to statistics that
should give us grave concern"-no new
homes built in 1888 for families earning
less than $1,000 a year, adequate new
housing for only fraction of per cent
of families earning between $1,000 and
$500.
mo matter where the responsibility

lies he commented, "housing must be
provided. 1t must be carefully planned
and properly financed 1t can be done.
The task will be accomplished in some
part by individual initiative. But the
undertaking is so vast that there must
be a joint effort in which the Federal
Government, States, municipalities,
banks, labor unions, insurance COM
panies and industry take an active part"
Want to Buy Homes.
He told of recent questionnaire in
his Portland yards. Ninety-one thou
sand persons were asked about their
hopes for the postwar world, and 80 900
replied. To the question, After the
war, what is the first thing for which
you will spend your savings?" over one
fourth replied that they would buy a
new home.
One could get some idea of the pos
sible future. Kaiser said, by taking that
