considerable measure been done
because there the patriotic feeling
that politics should stop at the
waters edge is a powerful offset
to partisanship.
But in the domestic affairs
particularly in such matters as
taxation and labor laws. it is
much harder to legislate by
agreement of the parties. The is
sue are not the sort on which
the whole people can be expected
to agree. They are issues which
have to be decided by majority
rule and the minority must not
be asked to agree with the YER
dict but only to accept it Loyalty
and with good grace.
Mr.. Truman has ample notice
that this Congress held a man
date from the people to write a
law for the purpose of reducing
the power of organized labor in
American society. What should
he have done? I think he should
have told Congress explicitly and
specifically while the law was in
the making which provisions he
would approve and which he could
not approve. He should not have
made a mystery of his position if
he intended to take part in the
lawmaking process by exercising
his veto. He should either have
abstained entirely by not using
his veto or have taken a response
BILE part in shaping the legislation
while it was in the works.
Then, even if he had failed to
achieve a compromise which he
could approve, he 'would not be
in his present dilemma of having
to enforce a law which he has
totally disapproved. He would be
enforcing a law which in certain
specific respects he disapproves

TEXT OF President 7ruman!s Address

, control provisions of the act is
the so-called "voluntary'' increase
of Is per cent in cases where the
landlord and tenant enter into a
lease that will continue until De-
cember 81, 1948. This is voluntary
only SC far as the landlord is con-
cerned. Many tenants, however,
will feel that there is no choice.
The tenant will naturally fear that
unless he enters into such a lease
he will be subjected to even more
exorbitant increases when rent con-
troll is ended. Whenever a vacancy
occurs, the landlord can refuse to
rent except under a lease provld-
ing for the rent increase. Many
landlords will press for rent in
creases whether or not there is
need for adjustment. Severe hard
ship will thus be imposed on many
tenants. The hardship will be par
ticularly acute in the case Of vet
Grams, who comprise such a large
portion G. those seeking rental
housing accommodations.
The act also weakens the protec-
ton against eviction which is nee
essary for effective rent control,
and completely removes the protec-
ton of rent control in many cases
where it is still badly needed. Ad-
ministration of the law will be
r-.ade more complex by the injec-
ton of new procedures and will
be made less effective by the weak
ening of enforcement provisions.
All of this represents the aban-
donment of a system which has
been both fair and effective. In
its administration OF rent control,
the federal government has made
every effort to give full protection
to both landlords and tenants. The
net rental income Of landlords to-
day is substantially higher than in
the pre-war years of 1899 and 1910,
Or in the previous decade. Pro-
visions for granting rent increases
in meritorious cases have been
liberalized and simplified. Over
one million lent increases have
been granted. Controls have been
removed in cases where the need
no longer appeared acute. These
steps and many more have been
taken to keep the administration
Of rent control simple. Practicable,
and fair and to prevent hardship.
This has been accomplished with

WASHINGTON, June 30-R-
Text Of President Iruman's mes
sage to Congress today on the
rent control extension bill:
I have today signed H. r. 32O3,
the housing and rent act OF ls41'
despite the fact that its rent con-
troll provisions r plainly made
ouate and it's housing provisions
actually repeal parts of the vet
erans' emergency housing act
which have been most helpful in
meeting the housing needs of vet
Grams.
Had 1 withheld my signature, ma
tional rent control would die to-
night It is clear that, insofar as
the Congress is concerned, it is
this bill or no rent control at all.
I have chosen the lesser of two
evils.
Without any rent control, mil
lions of American families would
face rapidly soaring rents and
wholesale evictions. We r still
suffering from a critical housing
shortage. Many families are des-
perately seeking homes. In their
desperation, they would have to
rent. Even this inadequate law
submit to demands or e%xorbitant
presents fewer dangers than would
the complete lack of rent control.
l have been confronted with a
problem similar to the one which
the Congress placed before me
In the price control bill which 1t
sent me O nJune %, 1916. That bill
was so damaging to price control
that I vetoed it and addressed the
country on the subject. Then, on
July twenty-fifth, the Congress sent
me a second price control bill, in
some respects worse than the first.
The time was SO late that l had
to sign that bill in order to pre-
vent the complete destruction OF
price control. But effective price
control was impossible under the
new law.

The Veto -Orerridden

We now have a labor law which
the President, woo must admins
ter it. has said is unavoidable and
unjust. Therefore, if the results
are as bad as the President pre-
oicted, his Republican and Demo
cratic opponents Oh this issue Will
say that he caused the law to
fail: that he encouraged resist
ance to the law and did not ao-
minister it sincerely. If, on the
other hand, the law works out bet
ter than he says it will, he will
have refuted his W arguments
for vetoing it.
A dilemma Of this kind, when
SO much is at stake as in labor
relations, could not be posed IN
Canada, Great Britain, or in any
ether country which has a demo-
cratic government. There would
be a new administration. once the
legislature had expressed itself as
Gecisively as did the Congress in
overriding the Presidents opposl-
ton. For a new administration
headed by Messrs. Taft and Hart
ley, and composed of men who
believed in the law, would take
office to administer it.
There would then be no confu-
sion Of responsibility about its
success or its failure. Mr.. Tru-
man would be out of office, free
to hold Mr.. Taft accountable for
the consequences of Mr.. Taft's
law. But under u system Mr..
TAFT is still in the opposition, free
to hold Mr.. Truman accountable
FOR the success of the law that
Mr.. Taft wrote and MI. Truman
denounced.
In saying this / am not suppos'
ing that our Presidential system
can or will be altered, and a sys'
tenn Of parliamentary government
put in its place. There are enor'
NOUS advantages in u system
not the least of them being tina
we are used to it. But every sys
tenn of government has its disad
vantages, and there is no doub
that President Humans dilemm;
illustrates sharply the creates
weakness of our system.
It is that when the people de

policy of the government, it take
them several years to change it
1t takes them two years to change

four years to change the Execu
tive, and it may take as mucl

ing materials has increased, the
housing expediter has eased and
simplified controls over materials
and construction. Those which
were retained were necessary and
important, however, and their re-
moval by this act may prove dis
astrous to home building.
The increased demand for ma
terials and labor resulting from
removal Of these controls may de-
lay a decline in building costs and
may even result in further cost in
creases. Already many veterans
are unable to pay for homes at
present cost levels, and this will
further aggravate their problems.
Moreover, delays in the compile
ton of veterans hospitals and OF
other essential construction will
result from the increased compe-
tition for materials and labor.
It is of deep concern to me that
this most unsatisfactory law rep
resents the only major action TAX
en- by the Congress at this session
with regard to the housing prob
lem which confronts the nation.
We should be taking steps to pro-
vide additional aids to housing,
rather than eliminating the aids
which have been in effect.
On many occasions I have placed
housing high on the list of subjects
calling for decisive congressional
action.
On September 6, 1915, in my
message to the Congress, 1 called
attention 70 the shortage of decent
homes and the enforced wide
spread use of substandard housing
and warned that the housing short
age would become more acute as
veterans returned and began to
look for places to live. l urgent
ly recommended that the Congress
enact comprehensive housing leg
islation to meet this problem. MY
proposals were directed especially
to the needs of those families OF
low or moderate income who AN
not buy or rent high priced houses.
The overwhelming majority OF vet
a need such legislation for
this reason.
On January IA, 1916, in the mes
sage on the state of the union, !
i. again emphasized that we faced
a major postwar housing prob
lem. l recommended that the
seventy-ninth Congress promptly
enact general legislation fol
a comprehensive housing program
along the lines of the Wagner
Ellender-Taft bill then under con.
sideration. The senate approved
the bill, but the house of repres'
entatives was denied the oppor'
tunity to vote by delaying tactics
within one of its committees.
On January 6, 1917, in the mes
sage Of the state of the union, ]
again recommended action by the
eightieth congress on comprehen'
sive housing legislation. Such
legislation has been introduced
and favorably reported to the
senate during this session, but has
not yet been passed by either the
senate or the house Of representa-
tives.
The obligation upon the federal
government is one which cannot
be ignored.
Again I urge the congress to
complete action upon legislation
to accomplish the following OBJ
jeetves,
/. 10 provide pubSte aid 70
localities for low rent housing Tor

families in the lowest income
group.
2. To encourage private invest
ment in rental housing by feder-
al insurance.
8. To provide a more adequate
program of farming.
4. To extend aid to our cities
for the clearance of slums and
blighted areas and to perfect and
supplement aids to home f;nanc-
ing.
5. To provide a substantial pro-
gram of housing research to assist
industry in progressively reduc-
ing the cost of housing.
Means are at hand for the
prompt enactment Of legislation
which will 60 far toward accomp-
fishing these detectives. I refer to
the Taft-Ellender-W Wagner bill now
before the senate. This bill has
been developed after long and
careful consideration of hous-
ing needs, these needs are known.
Now is the time for action to set
in motion a comprehensive pro-
gram which will assure the
greatest possible number Of
Americans a decent place to live,
in a decent environment, at a
cost they can afford.
In the face of our acute need
for more effective aid for housing,
it is unthinkable that the con-
gress would actually take steps
to make more difficult or even
impossible the efficient admins
tration of the governments pres
ent activities relating to housing
and home finance. Yet, l fear
that this may happen.
The house of repre- sentatives
has already indicated its disap-
prevail Of a reorganization plan
which would preserve the group
ing of our principal housing func-
tons in a single establishment.
The administration Of these func.
tons within a single establishment
is essential if Our housing policies
are to be carried out with
consistency of purpose and g
minimum of duplication. I strong.
ly urge that this plan be allowed
to become effective.
Another danger threatening ever
the existing aids to housing anC
home financing arises from the
action of the house of representa-.
tives upon the appropriations TO,
the national housing agency, in
Guiding the office of the admins
traitor and the constituent agen
cies. The drastic cuts made by
the house of representatives il
these appropriations, if they are
allowed to stand, will seriously
handicap the efforts of both gov
ernement and private enterprise
The effectiveness Of the nationa
housing agency will be great,
impaired. If we r. to have al
