STRIKES
Whatever their justice or injustice,
strikes paralyse production, force
people to use up their savings, and
result in losses that can never be made
up.
PRICE CEILINGS
Full production isn’t possible when
industry suffers losses because of ri*.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING
!
Continued huge government spending
means continued high taxes. High
taxes discourage production, hinder
the creation of jobs, and leave you
less to spend.
ISN'T THIS THE WAY?
The people, through Congress, can
remove these roadblocks in the long
range interests of all, i j
By establishing a labor policy that
will treat labor and management
exactly alike, and above all be fair to
the public;
By removing the shackles of price
control on manufactured goods;
By cutting down on government
spending now and balancing the
Federal budget by the 1947 fiscal year
at a level of income and outgo M
taxpayers can stand.
Do you believe this program is in
the public interest?
Your Representatives in Congress
are the only ones that can put it into
effect. Tell them how you feel about it
