Government, Capital and Labor Urged to Work Together ] Toward Political and Economic Freedom, He Tells Economic Club.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 v. P.) .—Political and economic freedom in the United States can be best assured by hoe co-operation between the’ Government and private enterprise, President Roosevelt told the Economic Club of New

York last night. 3 In a letter to David Sarn- ~ off, chairman of the board of Radio Corp. of America and club president, the President said: | “Today the challenge which we as 8 democracy must meet is the challenge to make the best possible use of our vast resources, and to achieve speedily the common purposes of national defense and national progress. It'is a challenge o

Government, to labor, to industry, .and to capital alike. |

Individual Paramount

In order to preserve the tradition- . al American concept of “private injtiative and private enterprise,” the President continued, the system itself must provide the greatest. god for the greatest number of people. “The determination that we sh 1 remain free, economically, socially and politically,” he said, “must spring from the will of our people. “The freedoms that we must an will protect in the United States are the freedoms that will make the individual paramount in a ti democracy. In our American way of life, political and economic freedom 20 hand in hand. Our freedon must include freedom from want, freedom from insecurity rand freedom from fear. I firmly believe that we can best secure- those freedoms by government and private enterprise working together for thes common objectives. In this joint effort there must be provided proper proper reward for labor, proper incentive for enterprise, and .a proper return on investment.”

Rickenbacker Pessimistic

Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker, American World War flying ace, predicted that if Britain can hold against Germany and Italy until next summer, the United States will enter the war, perhaps sending millions of soldiers to Europe. a “You of this generation are enJoying liberties at this moment that you will never enjoy again as lo as you live,” Capt. Rickenback : said, ]

ERATE, I'S PLEA

DEFENDS PUBLIC CONTRACTS ACT

Administrator of WalshHealey Law Denies It Hampers Defense..

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (U. P.).— Maintenance of national defense production without interference from strikes, union practices or labor standards laws occupied official at-| tention on several fronts today. L. Metgalfe Walling, administrator of the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act, took issue with Rear Admiral Ray Spear, chief of the Navy’s Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, for his statement that the Act was «a, disturbing factor in the procurement of some lines of Government supplies.”

First Lady Defends Act

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt reported in her newspaper column that she was “very much disturbed” by the headline on the story of Admirable Spear’s criticism of the law, which appeared in Sunday's papers. The Act, she said, “represents safeguards for labor which seem entirely reasonable. to many people and must have seemed so to the majority of Congress.” Any | change, she added, should come only |! after “due debate in Congress.” ~The House committee -investi- || gating migrant problems followed up | a suggestion of Mrs. Roosevelt, who |! testified at a hearing yesterday, and. sought details of an incident im which a migrant worker allegedly | was prevented from getting work as |, an electrician at Ft. Meade, Md, |, because he could not pay $300 cash |¥ in union dues. |

Seek Worker's Affidavit

Committee members indicated | that the facts, if verified, might be | turned over to the House Judiciary! | Committee, - Chairman John H. Tolan assigned || investigators to get an affidavit from David William Thomas, the

| | worker involved. The committee an-|

nounced it had been advised that | the union involved was the Interna- | tional Brotherhood of Electrical | Workers, an American Federation of || Labor affiliate. : 1 Mr. Walling’s reply to Admiral || Spear was in a letter expressing surprise that the Navy feels that the Walsh-Healey Act is hampering procurement. :

OBJECTORS TO GET | . NON-MILITARY JOBS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (U.P.).— President Roosevelt today issued an executive order saying that consci-| entious objectors may be called

perform any service which does not compel him to bear arms or be trained in their use. . The order did not define exactly the work which cdnscientious objectors might be called on to perform. The law specifies that they shall be assigned work of “national importance under civilian direction.”

MAYOR TO HEAR PLEA FOR RAIL ELEVATION

Sullivan on the matter Friday. The conference will be followed in the evening by. the monthly meeting of the club at the South’ Side Turners’ Hall. ® Elevation will be discussed and officers for the
