knows that irresponsible strikes
and subversive attacks upon essen
tial production are the gravest
threats to the permanent success
OF labcr's bill OF rights.

we cannot rebuild and maintain
our national economy at the high
levels required by our unavoidable
necessities IL we cannot have pro-
ductive peace instead of disruptive
war on the industrial front"
