Senator Taft AssaiIs
|PIan for Government
Guarantee Of Jobs

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, hitting at
the Senate's Kilgore subcommittee
as largely dominated by Political
Action Committee thinking" said
last night that the subcommittee
had proposed a Government guar
antee of jobs which ultimately would
destroy the very freedom for which
our armies fight throughout the
world"
Senator Taft, Philip Murray, CIO
president, and Clarence B. Randall,
vice president of the Inland Steel
Co., spoke at the 266th meeting of
the National Industrial Conference
Board.
The Ohio Senator said "the means
by which we have raised our stand
ard of living to a higher average
than in any other country in the
history of the world have been the
application of freedom to individual
activity, not the guarantee to any
body of anything except freedom. "
He added that "a guarantee Of
work by the Government to every
individual is wholly inconsistent
with the very freedom which has
produced the machine which pro-
vides jobs at good wages"
Senator Taft said the Kilgore
subcommittee policy on the guaran-
tee of jobs "crystallizes into the pro-
posal that the United States Gov
Evening star., 1945-01-19

ernment shall guarantee 10000, 900
jobs at $2.500 a year."
There are only IS 5,000.0o0 families
in the United States" Senator Taft
said, land this would provide two
jobs for many million families.
Should there be an obligation to pro-
vide full-time job for every woman
who wants to work when perhaps
her husband or other member of
her family is perfectly able and
willing to support her?"
Mr.. Murray said he was opposed
ito the outright guarantee by Gov
ernment of employment and pur-
chasing" He suggested instead that
employers embrace the idea of the
annual wage and cooperate with
labor to make it work" Mr.. Murray
said President Roosevelt was sin the
process of creating a presidential
commission on the annual wage"
