Civil Kights
The driving force behind our pro-
gress Is our faith in our democratic
Institutions. That faith Is embodied
In the promise of equal rights and
equal opportunities which the founders
of our republic proclaimed to their
countrymen and to the whole world.
The fulfillment of this promise Is
among the highest purposes of govern-
ment. The civil rights proposals I
made to the noth Congress. I now re-
peat to the Slat Congress. They should
be enacted in order that the federal
government may assume the leader-
ship and discharge the obligations
clearly placed upon It by the Const!-
tut Ion.
I stand squarely behind those pro-
posals.

Taxes
Ono of the moot Important factors
in maintaining prosperity Is the gov-
ernment's fiscal policy. At this time it
is essential not only that the federal
budget be balanced but also that there
be a substantial surplus to reduce in-
flatMhary pressure and to permit a
Hlxeable reduction in the national debt,
which now stands at I2S2.OOO.OOO.OOO.
I recommend therefore, that the
Congress enact new tax legislation to
bring In an additional $3,000,000,000
of government revenue. This should
come principally from additional cor-

Mayor Victor Provo said. Speaking
at a city ball reception for David
4C. Bruce, Economic Administration
chief, Provo described the way in
which the plan is helping his city.
“What would become of our textile
centers here in Roudaix-Tourcoing,
with its 100.000 workers." he asked,
"if credits were not put at our dis-
posal to buy materials indispensable
to the operation of our factories?
"The answer is easy; there would
inevitably be prolonged unemploy-
ment with all its accomplanying mis-
ery—which would be exploited for
purposes perfectly clear to all of ux"
Provo was referring ,to Commu-
nist exploitation.
He told his audience that the mo-
tives of the American people in set-
ting up the European Recovery Pro-
gram were good motives.
“The American people have un-
derstood that they cannot live in
prosperity if misery exists in one of
the more Important areas in the
world,’' he sadl. “It can be said that
prosperity, like peace, is Indivisible."
The mayor stressed that France
must "take cognizance of the fact
that American aid will eventually
cease and that we would be guilty of
fritting away the tremendous possi-
bilities offered us If we did not think
of and prepare for the future.**
The true meaning of the Marshall
Plan is known to the people of Rou-
baix. Provo Indicated, and added
that few people of the town had any

tract new teachers, or to hold the?ogee
we have. All these school problems
will become more acute aa a result of
the tremendous Increase in the enroll-
ment in our elementary schools in the
next few years.
1 cannot repeat too strongly my de-
sire for prompt federal financial aid
to the states to help them operate and
maintain their school systems.
The governmental agency which now
administers the programs ot health,
education and social security should
be given full depart menial status.
Department of Later
The Department of Labor should be
rebuilt ano steenffthep«wi eng those
units properly belonging within that
department should be placed in it.
''
The health of our economy and its
maintenance at high levels further re-
quire that the minimum wage fixed by
law should be raised to at least 76
cents aa hour.
Housing
The housing shortage continues to
be acute. As an Immediate step, the
Congress should enact the provisions
of low-rent public bousing, alum
clearance, fram bousing and bousing
research which I have repeatedly
recommended. The number of low
rent public bousing units provided tor
in the legislation should be Inereeeed
to 1.000.000 units in the next seven
years. Even this number of units will
not begin to meet our need tor new
bousing.
Most of the houses wo need will
have to be built by private enterprise,
without public subsidy. By producing
too few rental units aad too targe a
nroportion of high-priced bouses, the
building industry is rapidly pricing it-
self out of the market. Building costs
must be lowered.
The government is now engaged in a
< Kiupaign to induce all Maneata of
the building Industry to concentrate
on the production of lower priced
bousing. Additional legislation to en-
courage such housing will be submit-
ted.
The authority which I have request-
ed, to sllocste materials tn short sup-
ply and to Impose price ceilings on
such materials, could be used, if found
necessary, to channel more materials
Into homes large enough for family
life at prices which wage earners can
afford.
