is derived from the celebrated
passage in President Roosevelt S
message of Jan. II, 1914, where
ne said that I'VE have accepted
so to speak second bill of
rights" and it purports to estab-
hsh as one item Of a new legal
bill of rights what Mr.. Roosevelt
described as $50 to speak, a bill
OF rights.
Now there is a great difference
between legal bill of rights and
a so to speak" bill of rights. The
difference, as Mr.. Merlo Pusey
pointed out so cogently last week
in The Washington Post" is that
under a real bill of rights citizen
who is denied his rights may car
ry his case to the courts. But If
a man is out Of job, can he 60
to court and force the government
to provide him with one?" The
answer, of course, is no. Under
the Murray bill he will not be able.
to do this, and it is, therefore.
not good faith to write into the
law that all Americans "have a
right which no individual Ameri-
can has any legal means of en-
forcing.
What Mr.. Roosevelt meant to
say, what Mr.. Truman meant
when he adopted the formula.

what the rest OF the Murray bill
is designed for, is to make the
maintenance of full employment
an objective OF national policy.
But it is one thing to commit the
Federal government to a policy
which it must try to carry out.
It is quite a different thing to
make it a matter of right, which
al Americans have that this
policy shall provide each one OF
them, if he wants it, with job
which is useful, remunerative,
regular and fun-time." II this
were a genuine right in a genuine
bill Of rights, every American
would have the right to start a
lawsuit to d m n whether
there is job open for him which
is useful, remunerative, etc., etc.
Obviously, the authors of the bill
do not mean that. Nor do they
mean to put Congress and the ex
ecutive branch in position where
individuals or groups can hold
them accountable lat all times"
for providing opportunities - that
is jobs freely to exercise this

etc., etc. The true intent of the

TODAY and TOMORROW
Loose Words About Full EMPLOYMENT

In one important respect the
Murray full employment bill will
have to be amended before it can
be supported with candor and con-
yiction. 1t says that 'al Ameri-
cans able to work and seeking
work have the right to useful, re-
munerative, regular n d fulltime
employment, and that it is the pol
;cv of the United States 'to as
s,re at all times op-

that 1T is the policy of the United

the true intent and genuine pos
sibilities of the bill. No one who
has grasped its basic principles,
and has realized how much we
shall have to learn before we can
