Peace, Abundance

A nine-point platform for peace,
security and abundance" is offered
by Henry A. Wallace. third party
candidate for President, in his latest
book, released today. It's title Is,
Toward World Peace"
The central theme of the book,
like most of his campaign speeches,
is expressed in this quotation from
the closing chapter:
Both the old parties are following
policies which inevitably lead to war,
loss of civil liberties, impossibly
high prices, finally depression, un-
employment and the scarcity and
terror spread by the four horsemen
of the Apocalypse.
Points in Program.
The nine points. for which he
says the new party pledges itself
to ght, are:
q. Freedom of expression without
fear Of losing a job or suffering
business reprisals, regardless OF race
and political opinion.
20. Peace and understanding with
Russia.
"3. Elimination Of the expensive,
totalitarian, militaristic, Wall Street
control of civil government which
reduces production Of civilian goods.
a. Lower prices.
"5. Repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act.
IS. Control of monopoly to elm
mate the practices of high prices.
low wages, scarcity production, the
accumulation of excessive reserves,
and the use of unfair methods OF
competition.
Backs SOciaIized Medicine.
81. 500 a month old-age insur-
ance. 81 an nour minimum wage,
ano protection of health WITH
practical form of socialized medicine
for the benefit of all the people.
"8. Higher educational standards
based on Federal aid to public
schools.
20. Government planning through
the Presidents Council OF Economic
Advisers to eliminate the violence
Of the business cycle and unemploy-
ment."
Much Of the book is devoted to
Point No. 2, peace and understand
ing with Russia" Mr.. Wallace says
his views are different from those
of the extremists in either Russia
or the United States. He contends
peace is mot only possible but man
datory." He insists communism and
capitalism can get along, but adds
that, TO do so, both systems will
have to change.
He wants American capitalism to
become progressive" and says the
Communists must attain sufficient
feeling of security in Russia to be
willing to grant democratic civil
liberties" He predicts the changes
will come slowly on both sides, but
warns that events will force the
changes "or there will be perpetual
