Tert of Secretary OF Com
merce WnlIdce's speech last
night at Jackson Day dinner
here:
The plain folks first marched
into Washington when Andrew
Jackson came to the White House
Ever since, Jackson Day has been
the peoples day-because Jackson
like Jefferson, stood for people first
and property second.
Thomas Jefferson gave the DEM
ocratic party its philosophy and
spirit-the determination that our
democratic system. must provide
both political and economic free
dom. 1t was Jackson who was able
to make the first great strides In
putting that belief into practice.
After Jackson, the Democratic
party became fat and lazy. Prop
erty became more important than
people-and the plain folks looked
elsewhere for leadership. Lincoln
was put into the White House by
the spiritual descendants of An
drew jackson because he, like Jack
son, put people first and property
second.
Only one other Republican Presi-
dent followed Jacksonian principles.
That man was Theodore Roosevelt.
The reactionary leadership of the
Republican party has long been
determined never to make that
mistake again. They are true to
their big stockholders. To them,
property always must come first.
In their blind adherence to their
reactionary tradition, they would
never knowingly nominate real
progressive-even for purposes Of
winning an election. They lost out
to Wendell Willkie-and to this
very day, the reactionary Repubh-
can leadership fills the air with
imprecations and maledictions
every time the name of Wendell
Willkie is mentioned.
Roosevelt "Greatest Disciple"
The greatest disciple of Andrew
jackson was Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
Speaking of Andrew jackson,
Franklin Roosevelt once said:
They loved him for the enemies
he made. An overwhelming proper
.tion of the material power of the
Nation was arrayed against him.
The great media for the dissemina-
tion of information, and the mold
ing of public opinion, fought him.
Naughty and sterile intellectualism
opposed him. Hollow and outworn
traditionalism shook a trembling
finger at him. 1t seemed some
times that all were against him-all
but the people of the United
States"
Those were Rooseyelt's words
about the immortal Jackson. But
history. in repeating itself, also
writes these words as an epitaph
to the immortal Roosevelt.
1t was just a year ago, lacking
three weeks, that Franklin Roose-
welt was taken from us. Our mem-
ories of him are fresh and alive.
And we here tonight must resolve
to keep fresh and alive the heritage
he left us.
The most precious things in this
heritage are the peoples fight for
real political and economic democ-
racy-and the peoples fight for q
strong United Nations Organization

reported by aides to call q code of
conduct"
Main Points Outlined.
His own ideas, embodied in a
paper circulated among the other
Big Five Ministers last week, COW
cred these main points:
l. That the big powers voluntarily
limit use Of the veto to issues in
volving the vital interests" of the
United Nations. The wording is a
modification of the original British
suggestion that a power should veto
only when its own vital interests"
were involved.
2. That any power might abstain
from voting or be absent from a
Security Council meeting without
having its failure to vote considered
as veto.
3. That the Council should try to
serve more as a mediation board
less as forum for hardening issues
and failing to settle anything.
4. That questions on which the
veto would apply be defined more
exactly.

SfeeIman Conferrinq
Today on Liquidation
OF Wartime Agencies

Top agency officials were to meet
today with Reconversion Director
John R. Steelman in what may be
a showdown meeting on the plan to
merge OPA, the Civilian Produc-
ton Administration and several
other wartime agencies into one
hquidating unit, it was learned.
A Government official said some
definite action on the plan probably
would be taken this week.
Stats of the Various agencies have
been discussing the proposal for
sometime, and today's session with
DR.. Steelman is full-dress meeting
Of agency heads.
Still undecided, it was said, are a
name for the unit, person to head
1t and the breadth of its powers.
It is believed in some quarters
that the unit will be set UP separ-
ately from the Office of War Mobili-
cation and Reconversion, which is
headed by DR.. Steelman. The latter
is reported taking the stand that
OWMR should continue as the policy
board on domestic matters and not
take on operating functions.
The Government official pointed
out that an executive order would
have to be issued in setting up the
unit and transferring to it the func-
tions of the existing agencies.
Accordingly, the order would have
to await President Truman's return
to Washington or else be flown to
him at Key West for signature, he
said.
Other officials doubt that control
over rents would be shifted to the
National Housing Agency, as men,
toned in some reports. Housing
Administrator Wyatt already has
enough work on his hands with the
veterans housing program, they
point out.
Present OPA plans call for reten-
ton of rental functions through
district offices throughout the coun-
try.
The Office of Contract Settlement
and the Retaining and Re-employ-
ment Administration also may be
Jumped into the LIQUIDATION unit.

At present, Mr.. Butler declared

child out Of every three needing a

of conditions which will be made
more acute in 1947-cut budgets
and rising prices.
Chest payments for foster home
care win decline further in 1947, Mr.
Butler warned, unless more money
is available now. Children win be
left in homes where discord, neglect
