Truman Says Prices
Must Be Reduced
•
WASHINGTON, </P)—President
Truman told the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday “a pressing
task of all businessmen is to re
duce prices wherever possible at
all levels while steadily increasing
production.”
This reiteration of Mr. Truman’s
repeated assertion that prices must
go down if the nation is to avoid
serious inflation and depression
came before 2,000 delegates to the
chamber’s 35th annual convention.
In a message prepared for deliv
ery by Presidential aide John R.
Steelman, Mr. Truman said in
part:
“It is#indeed fitting that you
have chosen, at this particular mo
ment in our nation's history, the
convention theme of ‘Paths to
Freedom and Plenty.’ Our free
democratic way of life runs no risk
of successful challenge so long as
all of us pull together—labor, ag
riculture, business and finance,
and the government.”
One of Mr. Truman’s cabinet of
ficers, secretary of the navy For
restal, told the delegates earlier
the best present contribution this
country can make to world peace
is “the maintenance of substantial
military power.”
“We know,” he said, “the United
States cannot indefinitely support
a military establishment costing
over $11,000,000,000 a year, 30 per
cent of our total budget.”

“a federal bureaucracy or a pri

His organization “believes abso

He said the nation’s schools have
