Washington-Major passages in
President Roosevelt's state of the
union message, delivered to the
new 1915 Congress on Saturday:
We have no question of the I'LL
innate victory. We have no ques-
ton of the cost. Our losses will
be heavy.
We must never make the mis-
take of assuming that the Ger
mans are beaten until the last
Nazi has surrendered.
In Europe, we shall resume the
attack and-despite temporary
setbacks here or there-we shall
continue the attack relentlessly
until Germany is completely de-
feated.
Our navy looks forward to any
opportunity which the lords OF
the Japanese Navy will give us

MEN ORDERED TO WORK
OR TO BE INDICTED

Washington, - National Selec-
tive Service this week ordered the
induction of occupationally defer
red men, including those below
general army physical standards,
who quit their essential jobs with
out draft board approval.
The action followed awiftly on
President Roosevelt's message to
Congress recommending sweeping
new job controls. He urged ma
tional service legislation, action to
make more effective use of 4-F's,
and draft of nurses for the
armed forces.
Designed to halt "job-skipping'
once deferment has been OBJ
tanned, the order makes five mil
lion men aged 18 through 81 sub
ject to military duty under what
Selective Service calls "drastical-
ly lower" physical standards.
The army will fix special draft
quotas for this group, and such
inductees will be assigned to
other than regular army duties
The army did not divulge the
lower standards nor the proposed
size of the special draft calls.

EXPECT BAN ON MOST
NATIONAL CONVENTIONS

New York,-A ban on national
conventions appeared this week
as the next move In tightening
up the war effort.
Such an order was anticipated
by the American Transit associa-
ton, whose president, Col Roane
Waring Of Memphis, sent to War
Mobilization Director Byrnes a
telegram offering cooperation in
such a move.
The telegram to Byrnes said
the Alta was informed that your
office is contemplating a ban on
all, national conventions for the
current calendar year."
The expected directive, intend
ed to ease some Of the burden on
the nations transportation sys-
TENS, would become another in
the series that has marked the
turn of the year: an end to rae
ing, cancellation of many out
standing ration stamps, tightening
up in the draft, and the freezing
of civilian production. =.

Message To New Congress

to fight them again.
= Our overall strategy has not
neglected the important task of
rendering all possible aid to
China.
One of the most urgent i'm
mediate requirements of the arm
ed forces is more nurses &.
Since volunteering has not pro-
duced the number of nurses re-
quired, I urge that the Selective
Service Act be amended to pro-
vide for the induction of nurses
into the armed forces.
Many critical production pro-
grams with sharply rising needs
are now seriously hampered by
manpower shortages .. I now
again call upon the Congress to
enact this Irrational service)

of all our human resources for

the prosecution Of the war. I
urge that this be done at the ear
Hest possible moment.
|. In the field of foreign policy,
we propose to stand together
with the United Nations not for
the war alone but for the victory
for which the war is fought.
Nations like individuals do not
always see alike or think alike,
and international cooperation
and progress are not helped by
any nation assuming thatsit has
"a monopoly of wisdom or Of viz
tue.
In the future world, the misuse
of power, as implied in the term
ower-politics,' must not be a
controlling factor in information
al relations.
I am clear in my own mind
that, as an ESSENTIAL factor in the
maintenance of peace in the,
future, we must have universal
military training after this war,
and I shall send a special mes
sage to the Congress on this sub
ject.
Our policy is, of course, to rely
as much as possible on private
enterprise to provide (postwar)
jobs. But the American people
will not accept mass unemploy-
ment or mere makeshift work.
There will be need for the work
of everyone willing and able to
work-and that means close to
60 million jobs.
While no general revision of
the tax structure can be made
until the war ends on all fronts,
the Congress should be prepared
to provide tax notifications at
the end of the war in Europe, de-
signed to encourage capital to
invest in new enterprises and to
provide jobs.
This new year of 1945 can be
the greatest year of achievement
in human history. 1915 can see
the final ending of the Nazi-Fa-
scist reign of terror in Europe.
1915 can see the closing end of
the forces of retribution about
the center of the malignant pow
er of Inperialist Japan. Most
important of all - 1915 can and
must see the substantial begin
ming of the organization of world
Epeace. j

NEGROES AND AUTO
INSURANCE
BY ]. 7. w.

The article on automobile in
surance by Mr.. Arthur L. Hayes
of Tacoma. brings to mind further
interesting sidelights on the in
surance matters concerning folk
of color.
On Sept. Sth, 1914. Mr.. II. w.
Plight of General Casualty Co. of
Seattle, writes that on the sub
ject of writing Negroes for auto
mobile insurance, that they have
no fixed rules any more than they
have on any other class of BUSH
ness or types of individual. They
do, however, select their business
very carefully and it makes no
difference as to race, creed or
color, but it is entirely a matter
the permanency of the risk as to
residence, past record, ages and
other factors which would have
bearing upon the desirablility
of the risk to the insurance COM
pany.
On Oct. 18th, 1914, Mr.. Lee l.

Olympia Insurance Department,
writes that auto insurance is not
a requisite in this state unless
