 Advisers Content
 His advisers were content with results of this latest trip and they were fairly eestatie over a train poll taken by Don Pryor of the Column bia Broadeasting Company. News paper, radio and picture men aboard the special answered Pryors questions yesterday en route to the capital,
 In brief; the poll showed that of 30 persons participating, 28 favored MT, Roosevelt's reelection and II favored Gov, Thomas Y, Dewey, Re- publieans candidate, But what pleased the presidents party was that S7 of the participants thought the odds favored Mir, RooSevelt's re- election, Two believed that the contest should be an even money bot, Odds proposed ranged from even money on Dewey to 5-to-1 on Mr, Roosevelt,
 The president olimaxed his jour ney Saturday night before more than 10000 persons in Soldier Fold, Chicago, Other thousands were massed outside. He bid heav- fly for the business support which has been rallying around Dewey by proposing poSt-war tax induce EnentS to help private induntry create 60,O00, 900 jobs,
 Private Industry
 Specifically, he proposed that the government should foster the ex- pansion of private industry by fi- nancing through the normal inc vestment channels. And he pledged to encourage large and small plant expansion and replacement of oh- solete equipment by accelerating the rate of depreciation for tax pur- poses on the new plants and facil- ities built during the war.
 America, he said, must remain "the land of high wages and efft- cient production"
 Every full-time lob in America must provide for a decent living. After the war. we shall, of course, remove the control of wages and leave their determination to free collective bargaining between trade unions and employers"
 Mfr. Roosevelt said that never again must we in the United States attempt to isolate ourselves from the rest of humanity"
 T am confident that with con- greSsional approval the foreign trade of the United States can be trebled after the war providing millions more jobs.
 Such cooperative measures pro- vide the sOundest economic founda- ton for Q lasting peace. And, after this war, we do not intend to settle for anything less than lasting peace.
