Truman Message
To Congress
~ *
WASHINGTON. uP>—President
Truman told Congress today that
for greater prosperity America
needs lower prices and labor ought
n >1 ;.) press wage demands which
will keep them from dropping.
He sent the legislators a message
in which he also said that for the
Nat on's economic health they
should <a» Continue taxes at pres
ent wartime levels, <b) Extend
rent controls, <c> Increase social
security benefits. <d> Boost mini
mum wages, <e> Extend the wage
hour law to new groups, <f» Start]
a long-range housing program and
(g> Enact new labor laws.
Mr. Truman’s message was his
first economic report under the
employment act of 1946. That law
requires that he and his economic
advisers send Congress a report
early in each year on prospective i
business and employment condi
tions in the following 12 months.
The main points he emphasized
to the Republican-held, economy
minded Congress were these:

TAUNTON, Mass. (VP)—A wo
man called the order department
of a grocery concern with this re
quest: “Will you please look out
your front window and see if there
is a butter line in front of the but
ter store?”
The country should produce 5
per cent more goods this year than
last and keep employment at -ts
record-breaking level.
But the purchasing power of r e
people may not support those g »nl
unless wage and price adjustments
are quickly made.
A major approach "must be
through reduced prices.”
Rent ceilings should remain be
yond mid-1947, because "a la. .c
increase in rents would substan
tially reduce consumer purchas.ng
power.”
"Business can and should reduce
prices wherever possible in order
to bring about the necessary in
crease in consumer purchasing
power to bolster markets.”
