 handling of the nations business. The groups who oppose Wallace al- so regard as visionary the Presi- dents postwar program of 60,000,- GOO jobs for all. Those who want to keep Wallace from the post how ever are not really concerned with WalIace'S ability to administer those powers or his so-called inexperi- ence.
 AS. Secretary of Agriculture, Wall lace has proven himself a capable and far4sighted executive and busi- nessman. At this post he was re- Sponsible for the administration of the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Farm Security Administration, the Farm Credit Administration and the Rural Electrification Ad- miniStration. Vice President Harry Truman says that never did this country have such a good Secretary of Agriculture
 The real issue involvd in this: Whether the powers of the com mercel post are to be used only to help big business or whether these powers are also to be used to help little business and in this way put through the Presidents goal of 60,- 100000 peace-time jobs. Unfortun- ately there is still small section of American business which thinks in terms of huge profits and large cheap labor force, which would help to lower wages .and break up unions. This group is opposed to Wallace and will oppose any other moves for a full employment pro- gram for America However, this section off business is far from dominant and does not represent the huge scores of American busi- nesSmen who know that jobs for all means consuming power for the people and profits for business. That is why businessmen under the chairmanship of James McGill of McGill Industries, have set up a Businessmen for Wallace Commit tee and why big businessmen like Henry Kaiser and Andrew Higgins, shipbuilders, have come out for Wallace.
 Those who oppose Wallace and what he stands for would lead us to believe that he will steer America from the course of free enterprise to system of state ownership in which private business would be stifled. This impression Is entire ly false.
 Mir. Wallace made it clear that his program for jobs for all is de- pendent not upon the restriction of private industry, but on an ex- banded private industry capable of hiring millions more men. The gov ernment will merely do it's part in helping private enterprise finance the expansion of our industrial plant. The resources of the country will be used ito achieve a prosper ous America, prosperous for all business, large and small, and for all the people"
 MT. Wallace's approach to the SOAutAoA OI our postwar economic program is therefore not visionary or socialistic, but a sound plan to provide jobs for 6O,OOO.O 900 people under the system of free enterprise working at expanded capacity.
 This is a program which every ous1nessmaA farmer and worker can accept to mutual advantage. If America can produce for war she can produce for peace. We cannot go back to the 1909 days of ecorom- lc chaos. We must adopt a plan for the common man which will pro- vide sound basis for peace and security. President Roosevelt has charted the path in his new Bill of Economic Rights. Henry Wallace is ready to carry it through. But the people and organized labor in par tlcular will have to make 1t a reality.
 Wire or write your Congressman to support Wallace.
