But do we give them the greatest weapon Of all?

TN providing our men with the wonder
weapons of all time is our job complete?
Have we given them our best?
No! Not until every free dollar in America
is invested in War Bonds have we provided
our men with the greatest weapon of all For
it is support from the folks at home-support
that lets the soldier know we're backing him
to our limit-that gives him the greatest part
of his fighting strength.
Curiousy enough the farms of America need
those War Bonds as urgently as our boys need
the weapons and the supplies those Bonds will
provide For as those Bonds mature, they will
replace machinery and equipment and provide
cash to maintain those farms profitable
business enterprises.
Have any of us yet really done our best?

Will Be Long Task.

Now this goal cannot be attained
overnight. 1t cannot be achieved
in a manner to harm business. Nor
can it be achieved with the same
speed in every business.
But we can start on the job of
giving labor an annual wage. We
can Go lot if we all will only agree
that it is problem business and
labor must solve and if we all ap-
proach the problem with genuine
desire to succeed. And Government
must do its part, too. 1t must aid
business in stabilizing its labor
needs SO that the burden of an an
nual wage will be uneconomical
This, in my opinion, is the Ameri-
can way to bring about the annual
wage and I have confidence in the
American way of doing things.

Jones' Statement at Heurinu
Says RFC Should Not Be Entrusted
To Mon With Ideoistic Schemes

osophy Is in line with the prin-
ciples which made our country
great.
1t is my firm conviction that
the Governments investment in
plants and facilities, and in raw
materials Of all sorts, represented
by billions of dollars of the tax
payers money, should not be
made the subject of careless
experimentation.
1t Is equally important to stop
\ and think how the lending power
Of the RFC will be administered.
For the past 13 years the re-
sources Of the RFC have been
used to supplement private credit,
SO that funds might be available
when private resources were not
adequate. The RFC Act specified
and always has specified that
loans should only be made, either
with full and adequate security,
or when they are so secured as
reasonably to assure repayment.
The discretion which the latter
injunction leaves with the direc-
tors Of the RFC could easily be
abused either by inexperience,
visionary planning or disregard
of the taxpayers money.
Certainly the RFC should not
be placed under the supervision
of man willing to jeopardize the
country's future with untried
ideas and idealistic schemes. The
lending agencies of the Govern
ment can be administered, as they
have been, on purely nonpar-
tisan basis, for the benefit of all
the people, or they can be used
to destroy what we have built
up in this Nation in our ITO years
of independence. That, to my
mind, is the issue which this COM
mittee and the Congress must

ment before the Senate Com
merce Committee tollo,Ds:
would say that the para
mount issue, before this COM
mittee in consideration of the
resolution offered by Senator
George is not the location OF the
powers which the Congress has,
from time to time, delegated to
the RFC. but the proper char
acter of their administration. 1t
is fully within the province and
certainly the responsibility of
Congress to determine whether
the RFC and its many agencies
and functions are to be sepa-
rated from the Department Of
Commerce.
The RFC and Its subsidiaries
conduct the most gigantic busi-
ness enterprise, or series of busi-
ness enterprises, that the world
has ever known under one roof.
We have engaged in literally
hundreds Of separate businesses.
Individually and collectively, they
affect the entire economy of the
Nation. The way in which they
are administered from now on is
even more important, if that is
possible, than their administra-
ton in the past, since the post
war adjustments will need to be
most carefully handled in order
not to destroy, and I should like
to emphasize that, our entire
business and financial structure.
The man who is given the vast
responsibilities contained in the
RFC Act should be one of proven
and sound judgment, with busi-
ness knowledge gained from ex-
perience in business. The country
has q right to expect a man in
this important place whose phil

should mean 5000, 900 more jobs
after the war than we had before
the war.
Nor are the benefits of increased
foreign trade and investment con-
fined to increasing our prosperity
I want to emphasize that such CO.
operative measures for expanding
international trade and investment
are at the same time the economic
foundation for a lasting peace. A
prosperous world will be world free
| of both economic and political ag-
gression.
Need Long Range Plan.
There is one further phase of this
program of providing jobs for all
which must be made an integral
part of any long program
That is the task of seeing to it that
there are not just jobs for all next
year-or for the year after that. No
we are talking about jobs for all as
la permanent part Of our American
way Of life.
! But it is inevitable, however, that
an economy of free enterprise like
ours will have some huctuation in
the number Of jobs it can provide
Adjustments in employment are an
essential part of an expanding free
economy. And for these minor
fluctuations we provide unemploy-
ment insurance But we must not
allow such fluctuations ever to de-
teriorate into panic or depression
We cannot again be caught In that
vicious downward spiral of unem-
ployment, wage cuts and stagnated
business.
Whenever the number of gainfully
employed in this country falls below
81 ,000. 600 our Government should
take prompt steps to see that new

The third economic right is "the

American farmers now have by

the greatest agricultural production

farmers that there viii always be

world.
But what of the peacetime prob
lens here at home which will follow
the successful conclusion of this
war? Is America prepared to meet
the challenge OF these peacetime
problems as it has twice met the
challenge of war? Will we approach
the problems of peace with the same
boldness of conception, the same
courage and determination as we
have approached the problems OF
war?
Says U. s. Wants Lasting Peace.
In the answer to these questions
lies the future OF America. To any
one who has faith in America the
answer is clear. The American peo-
pie are prepared to meet the prob
lens of peace in the same inspiring
way that they have met the prob
lens of war. The American people
are resolved that we shall insure
that the youth of this Nation will
never again be called on to fight
IN another war. And the American
people are equally resolved that
when our boys return home from
this war, they shall come back te
the brightest possible, the frees1
possible place on the face Of thi,
earth-to place where all persons
regardless of race, color, creed OF
place of birth, shall live in peace

ducing at least 100000 long tons of
rubber year. Forty petroleum,
rubber and industrial companies are
operating the plants for the account of
the Rubber Reserve Co., one OF the sub
salaries whose activities are covered in
the Jones report. During the year 1914
$4,000 tons OF synthetic rubber were
manufactured and in private plants an
other $4,000 tons. The Government has
invested more than s700, 100000 in plants
and facilities for the manufacture of
synthetic rubber. Eventually something
must be done about these plants Mr..
Wallace some time ago suggested that
they should be scrapped in great part
with the idea that their retention would
interfere with the economy of those
nations which supplied us natural rubber
IN preWar days. Prior to the war natural
rubber cost l8 to 20 cents a pound. Syn
thetic is produced in some plants for
less, although 33 cents is the average.
y
Reporting on the activities of another
subsidiary, the Defense Plant Corp, Mr..
Jones said that commitments for war
plants. facilities and machine tools ag-
gregating $40, ,704 1886 900 have been made.
with total disbursement of s7177.-
100000. These commitments include 920
complete, integrated plants wholly owned
by the Defense Plant Corp, in the
amount Of s6,055 900 900, and the expan-
sion of l22 existing plants, privately
owned, in the amount of $740 900 900.
The expansions are wholly owned by the
corporation. Take look at the detail
The Government commitments are for
STA aircraft facilities. 1873 for steel and
iron plants, 161 chemical, 1856 machine
tool, 81 aluminium, 90 ordnance, 81 syn
thetic rubber, 50 magnesium, SO aviation
gasoline and s for pipe lines The plants
and projects are scattered among 46
States-the Dakotas alone are without
them.
The New Dealers who are urging the
appointment of Mr.. Wallace as Secre.
tary OF Commerce would like to have
placed under him all these great works
and their disposition. Mr.. Wallace was
head of the old Board of Economic War
fare-the only Vice President ever to
be given an executive job. In vitriolic
public statement in the summer of l943
he charged that Secretary Jones, as
mead OF the RFC, was interfering with
The work OF the BEW. Mr.. Jones replied
just as vigorously. The President abol-
ished the BEW and Mr.. Wallace's lob
as head of it and created a new agency.
the Office Of Economic Warfare, with
Leo T. Crowley at its head and some of
the Jones agencies transferred to 1t.
too. Wallaces appointment as Secretary
OF Commerce would be a bitter pill for
Jones.
