Outcome of Full Employment Bill
ToDetermine Fiscal Policy, SAYS Kent

not further venture except as last
resort.
Under the circumstances, 1t Is dis
couraging to have Secretary of State
Byrnes indorse the Murray Wagner
bill, even if he does say that he has
not had time to read it thoroughly.
His explanation Of how our foreign
policy Is tied up in this internal
problem seems a little strained.
The real Importance of Mr..
Byrnes' statement is that it reflects
the administration position and
sustains the contention that Mr..
Trumans' recent press conference
declaration for full employment"
meant this bill. Last June when
asked about it Mr.. Truman said he,
like Mr.. Byrnes, had not had time
to read it. There is reason to be-
lieve that Is still so. 1t Is hard
bill for politician to oppose.
