presidential candidates. The pri-
maries would be nation wide in
stead of statewide. They would
be simultaneous throughout the
country.
We know that too frequently
the party bosses impose their
presidential nominees upon both
parties not because the voters are
too lazy to vote in primaries but
because there are no adequate
primaries in which to vote. To-
day there are not enough state
presidential primaries to give
more than the merest fraction of
voters direct choice of their
party's candidates.
A nationwide preconvention
party primary need not be more
complicated than statewide pri-
naries. It can be conducted for
the same purposes by the same
rules.
There have, of course, been
good and bad presidential NOM
nations under the convention
system. Sometimes they have re-
Elected voter opinion, but often
they have neglected voter opin-
ion.
But there is nothing more vi
tai than that our Presidents and
Vice-Presidents should represent
the authentic wishes of the whole
body of the nations voters. It
will strengthen the President; it
will strengthen our democracy.
1t ought not to be accidental
that the parties choose presiden-
tia1 nominees whom the real pro
prietors of the parties-the voters
really want. The voters in
each party should pick the team

All this simply means giving

United States would take a strong
line in the Assembly, particularly on
the Greek question, is of particular

Would Continue Restrictions.
Briefly, his recommendations to
the commission, which is seeking
information from all phases of avi-
alton as the basis for writing a new
national air policy, included:
l. Current restrictions on surface
transport agencies entering aviation
should be continued.
2. All mail which can be expe-
dited by air should be flown, and an
air parcel post system should be
made available Immediately.
8. The government should aban-
don efforts to regulate operational
details for the airlines.
f. The present air safety organ
ization in the Civil Aeronautics
Board should be continued and di-
vision of responsibility in air safety
between the CAB and the Civil
Aeronautics Administrator should
be eliminated
S. The States should be forbidden
to impose either safety or economic
regulation upon air transportation
6. The Federal Government should
withdraw from motor fuel taxation
except with respect to aviation gaso-
line and should prohibit State taxes
on aviation fuel.
| 7. The airlines should be exempt
from excise taxes on radio equip
ment, tires, tubes and other items
from which their foreign competitors
are exempt.

and we earnestly hope that the
General Assembly will be able to
devise means for accomplishing that
end" Gen. Marshall said.
His speech, approved in advance
by President Truman, was inter-
preted as setting the tone for the
whole United States approach to
the critical Assembly session. par
ticularly regarding the Greek case.
The Importance the United States
attaches to the Greek case was
seen in the American move today
to take it off the Security Council
agenda and give the Assembly a
free hand to deaf with it.
The various delegations held hur-
ried pre-AssembIy conferences to-
day, drawing up lines of strategy
for the long session ahead on such
major issues as the Balkans, Pal
estine, the veto and Spain.
A good portion of the 275 dele
gates from 55 nations already were
on hand and the rest were sched-

Text of Secretary Morshos Address to NJ Association

the United States delegation will
be motivated by a desire to develop
the United Nations as the central
organization for the maintenance
of international peace and the pro-
motion of international cooper
alton. We do not look upon it as
handy instrument for obtaining
temporary national advantage. We
have no desire to slip back upon the
road to international anarchy out
of which we have been hoping we
are beginning to emerge. We look
forward to the early admission into
the United Nations of the remaining
nations who might now be qualified
for membership. If the United Ma
tions is to serve the genuine self
interest of all members over the
longer period and if it is to be
as suggested in Article of the char
ter, a center for harmonizing the
actions of nations, we believe that
its worldwide membership must
be preserved as far as possible in
accordance with its original design
1t would be sore, a tragic dis
appointment if experience should
prove that the harmony which was
achieved at San Francisco was only
temporary. We find it difficult to
believe that members of the organ
ization would deliberately seek to
destroy its structure by persistence
in acts of aggression or by obstruc-
ton of nature to paralyze the
principal organs OF the organiza- =
tions
Impatient With Obstacles.
Our own attitude and sense of
responsibility will have much to do
with the success of the coming Gen
eral Assembly. Under the pressure
of our war effort we developed in
this country a laudable impatience
for obstacles which stood between
us and the attainment of victory
obstacles which were removed by
an application of astonishing energy,
ingenuity and singleness of pur-
pose. The problems of peace re-
|quire moral courage and stern deter
mination but they also demand
patience and deliberation if we are
to find a common agreement upon
which a1asting peace can be found.
In rejecting upon our own ex-
perience, the American constitu-
tional development, we find that
even where we were one people and
there were generally agreed objec-
tives, long time, much of for
bearance and a willingness to COM
promise were needed in building
our great constitutional system. We
believe. that the peoples of the
United Nations also have common
basic purposes which provide the
foundation for effective machinery
for international cooperation. We
should be neither surprised nor
discouraged if time and great ef-
fort are required to move forward.
We hope that the effort itself will
produce increasing unanimity of
purpose, a unanimity which will in
turn make possible more effective
international action.
The United States delegation to
the General Assembly will have
continually in mind the basic pur-
poses of the American people and
will strive to give them effect. We
seek at this Assembly not a United
States success but a United Nations
success. The latter will include the
former, since our objectives are the
objectives of the charter itself. We
earnestly solicit your backing for
this great effort in which we are
now engaged.

Kaiser Says Increase
In Steel Output Is Wa,
To Avert Depression
By the Asociotsd Press

Henry j. Kaiser does not believe
I'VE will have depression unless
our own tlmidity invites one" and
thinks the way to avert it is by ex-
panding steel production.
In a statement released today, the
industrialist proposed encouraging
further private expansion of steel
making facilities by Federal tax
concessions so tax exemption for
depreciation could be claimed at a
greatly speeded rate.
Such a provision during the war,
the West Coast industrialist said,
resulted in $1,000 000, 900 being in
vested in increased steel capacity
and helped shorten the war.
The accelerated depreciation plan,
Mr.. Kaiser said, would be an in
centive for private capital with no
need for the Government itself to
get into the steel business.
For, if the Government extends
this protection, If steel capacity is
then expanded and if then, as be-
deve, we do not have a depression,
because an ample and comprehen-
sive steel supply is our best insur-
ance against it, there will have been
no loss to any element-steel man
agement, Government or the pub
lic-aH would have gained and, in
deed, all would have averted DIS
aster," Mr.. Kaiser declared.
Mr.. Kaiser, who got into the steel
business during the war, said long
established steel management now
argues that this country has sufti-
cient steel capacity, or that if it
hasn't it will very soon have.
s"By leaving steel capacity where it
Is" he asserted, 1--WE would under
write the economy of scarcity. We
would make sure that steel would
continue in short and erratic supply,
thus making sure that all costs,
which flow from steel costs and from
the conditions of steel supply, would
stay or 60 higher, that purchasing
power would stay where it is or get
weaker.
Thus we might we'll have de-
pressions because we would have
prescribed a depression.
