I5-BiI|ion Construction
Plan for Postwar Era
Urged by House Unit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Blueprinting of at least a $5,000,- :
100000 reserve of State and local
construction projects to stabilize
the building industry after the war,
is urged by House Postwar Eco
nomic Planning Committee.
This construction reserve of State
and local projects, the committee
said, should be in addition to those
plans for which local financing is
available.
In its seventh report to Con-
gress. the committee headed by
Representative Colmer, Democrat,
of Mississippi. laid down these three
principles "as foundation on which
to erect a healthy national con-
struction program:
81. The Federal Government
should hold out no promise of aid
to States or municipalities during
the first peace years for financing
their public works-especially since
many such are in a stronger finan-
cial position than before the war.
Federal Leadership Favored.
20. The Federal Government
should assume leadership in build
ing up an adequate reserve shelf
of engineering plans to lay
the foundation for an orderly long
term public works program, and
to provide cushion against future
drastic decline in the construction
industry.
"3. A construction policy board
should be established in the exec
utive Office of the President to guide
the public works program and to
serve the construction industry in
its efforts to maintain a healthy
stable growth in relation to national
income"
The construction industry, the
committee warned, must not be
made catch-all for the unemployed
to the exclusion of other areas of
production which can provide more
sustained employment"
I'VE shall not" it added, serve
total economic stability by exagger-
ating the cycles in construction.
Would Avoid Federal Competition.
To avoid period of sharply rising
prices that might result from a
sudden resumption of both private
and public construction, the COM
mittee urged that during the transi-
ton period an expansive program of
public works should mot be pitted
against private construction"

bright resolution. also favoring the
creation of international machinery
with participation by the United
States.
You and the House of Representa-
tives thus had hand in shaping the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals, on which
this Charter has been based.
No international document has
been drawn in greater glare of
publicity than this one. 1t has been
the subject of public comment for
months. This widespread discussion
has created the impression in some
quarters that there were many points
of disagreement among the United
Nations in drafting this Charter
Naturally, much more public atten-
ton was given to the items of dis
agreement than to the items of
agreement. The fact is that there
were comparatively few points upon
which there was not accord from the
beginning. Disagreement was re-
duced to a minimum-and related
more to methods than to principles.
Differences Settled.
Whatever differences there were,
were finally settled. They were set
tied by the traditional democratic
method of free exchange of opinions
and points of view.

the various provisions of the Char
ter. They have been so thoroughly
discussed that am sure you are all
familiar with them. They will be so
thoroughly discussed on this floor
that you and the people of the Ma
ton will all have a complete ex-
preston of views.
In your deliberations, hope you
will consider not only the words OF
the Charter, but also the spirit which
gives it meaning and life.
The objectives of the Charter are
clear.
1t seeks to prevent future wars.
1t seeks to settle international dis
putes by peaceful means and in con-
formity with principles of justice
1t seeks to promote worldwide
progress and better standards Of
living.
1t seeks to achieve universal re-
spect for, and observance of, human
rights and fundamental freedoms
for all men and women-without
distinction as to race, language, or
religion.
Product Of Many Hands.
1t seeks to remove the economic
and social causes of international
conflict and unrest.
1t is the product of many hands
and many influences. 1t comes
from the reality of experience in a
world where one generation has
failed twice to keep the peace. The
lessons of that experience have been
written into the document.
The choice before the Senate Is
now clear. The choice is not be-
tween the Charter and something
else. 1t is between this Charter and
no charter at all. Improvements
will come in the future as the United
Nations gain experience with the
