Good Words, Mr.. President

President Truman talked in spades when he attacked
the onesded baage of propaganda that big business has
been promoting against the Fair Deal program whole
and the Taft-Hartley repeal bill in particular.
He did it again when he pointed out that the special
interests using every trick they think of to defeat
our labor policy"
And he spoke all too evident truth when he noted
that there full page ads side all we have
side is the people,
We're glad to that the President is determined to
"enact the program to which committed"
What the President said badly needed saying.
1t should shake the cockness of many Republicans in
Washington who to have developed the idea that the
COPS donohng candidates the election 1t should also
remind a good many Democrats-partculary from the
southern wing of the party-hat Dxecrat donohng ideas
did not win election endorsement.
With the words of the President ringing in their ears,
the Democratic majority in Congress should act quickly and
forthrghtIy to enact the Fair Deal program.
And hope that the people-he people who can't buy
those full page ads-w let the Senators and Congressman
hear their clamor for speedy action.

enactment of the Federal Social Insurance Act in 1885 we

risk of cost of illness by application of the compulsory nsur
principle that worker need live under the constant
fear of dsastrously high doctors and hospital bills
The great desire of the American people today is for
real security The adoption of effective federal health
insurance program will far toward the realization OF that
goal.
Such federal program well be supplemented by
voluntary plans and trade union welfare and health pro-
grams The labor movement, eager to the
every constructive and social capacity will continue to

lifetime in the service of the American labor movement

wider interests of nation noble institution like the
