Congress dare not neglect this uppermost duty. “We also endorse his recom mendations for stronger price controls, for enactment of a new labor relations law that would be fair to labor and management alike, for more equitable tax leg islation, for defense housing, for Federal aid to education, for medical health insurance and for readjustment benefits to Korean war veterans. “As the President said, these measures will strengthen the American people and the Ameri can way of life. They will help to prove to the entire world that our free way of life is far prefer able to the slave conditions pre vailing behind the Iron Curtain." WAN GOING BROKE Hapas collapsed for settling the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute through the International Bank, when Pre mier Mossadegh said the plan was unacceptable.

That’s perfectly proper. “But we havens great responsi bility to conduct our political fights in a manner that does not harm the national interest. “We can find plenty of things to differ about without destroy ing our free ingitutions and with* out abandoning our bipartisan . foreign policy for peace. “When everything is said and done, all of us, Republicans and Democrats alike, are Americana, and we are all going to sink or swim together.* The Chief Mxecutive said that | co-operative notion, in spite or an election ]fenr, was necessary | because the year 1952 is a critical one "in the defense effort of the whole free world.” «• president referred to Gov ernment corruption chargee say ing that "Soma dishonest people worm themselves into every kind of organisation. Such unworthy public servants must be weeded out. “I intend te see that Federal employes who have been guilty of misconduct are punished for it. I also intend te see te it that the honest and hard-werldng majority or our Federal employes are pro tected against partisan slander and malicious attack.*’ Mr. Truman also suggested that the Congress itseld find an effective way "to control campaign expenditures,” and protect “the rights of individuals in congres sional investigations. “Congress can do a gr^st deal to strengthen the confidence in our institutions by applying rig orous standards of moral integrity to his own operations,” he said.

However, he warned that the threat to free nations continues, and that the nation and its allies must remain united to meet the danger. Hr. Truman, said that general welfare measures must continue to be enacted, because they “dem onstrate to the world the forward movement of our free society. • “This demonstration of the way free men govern themselves haa a more powerful ininsnes an the people of the world, on both a idee of the Iron Cartain, than all the trick slogans and pie-in-the-sky promises of the Communists,” he said. Among the general welfare measures that moat be taken up by the Coijgresj, Mr. Truman aaid, is improvement of the Taft Hartley act. It has “many seri ous and far-reaching defects. A fair law is indispensible to sound labor relations, and to full unin terrupted production." The President called on Con gress, also, to complete the Job' of rearming the free world against Communist aggression. “If we falter, we caw lees all the gains we bare made," he said. “If we drive ahead, with courage and rigor and determtuaUas^ we. can, by the end of 1*51, he in a position el much greater eeenr tty." “The way will be dangerous for the years ahead, but If we put forth our best efforts this year and next year, we can then be over the hump in our efforts to build strong defenses" The President said economic conditions are good. “There are 01' million people on the Job} wages, farm incomes, ami busi ness profits are at high levels. Total production of goods and services in our country has in creased 8 per ednt over last year —about twice the normal rate of growth. “We are now in the second year of a three-year program which will dogble our output of aluminum, increase our ■ electric power supply by 40 per cent, and increase our steel-making capac ity by II par cant. “We can than produce 120 mil lion tons of eteal a year, aa muck aa all the rest of the world put together. / Jj “Thin expansion will mean more Jobe and higher standards of Hr iag far all e# as in the yuan ahead.
