RooseveltSubmits New Social Plan
Washington, (INS)—In the most far-reaching social document ever drafted by the US government, President Roosevelt today submitted to congress two plans for the postwar economy calling for jobs "at decent pay" to all who are able to work and outlining an American Beveridge program covering "freedom from want" from the cradle to the grave.
The two documents, covering years of work by the national resources planning board, were sent to the congress by President Roosevelt with the declaration that "We need to look forward to the accomplishment of these objectives—world peace, democratic society, and a dynamic economy."
One of the reports covered economic planning for transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy to insure jobs for all able to work. "Men in the armed forces and all those engaged in the war effort rightly expect us to be considering their future welfare," Mr. Roosevelt said in a letter accompanying his message.
The other report covered social security and was regarded as the American counterpart of the Beveridge plan proposed in England.
In submitting the report to the nation's law-makers, Mr. Roosevelt warned that "We must not return to the inequities, insecurity, and fears of the past, but ought to move forward towards the promise of the future."
In the report covering transition to a peacetime economy, the national resources planning board pointed out that through such advance plans we need to stir the imagination and aspiration of all people, free or temporarily enslaved, for new objectives, new goals which can be reached when the war is won."
The document opened with the declaration:
Proposes Outlawing Violence
"Our peace aims are war weapons which in the end may determine the outcome of the military struggle."
In this report, it was proposed that "an effective jural (legal) order of the world outlawing violence and imperialism" be established. It did not elaborate on this, but it implied that some postwar agency should be set up to police the entire world to make the present world war the last one.
The second report, covering "security, work, and relief policies," warned that "The need for public aid will be both large and persistent for some time to come." Roosevelt Sends Letter
President Roosevelt, in transmitting it to the law-makers, said in his letter:
"It reviews the accomplishments and experience of the last 10 years, pointing out some of the weaknesses of our security system, and suggesting ways of improving and strengthening the whole program."
The nation's chief executive also stated:
"We can all agree on our objectives and in our common determination that work, fair pay, and social security after the war is won must be firmly established for the people of the United States of America.
"Men in the armed forces and all those engaged in the war effort rightly expect us to be considering their future welfare.
"We fight today for security for

Hollywood. (INS) — President Roosevelt in a message to the motion picture industry said last week "... We have succeeded in turning the tremendous power of the motion picture into an effective war instrument without the slightest resort to the totalitarian methods of our enemies."
Assets Totaled
our nation, and at the same time we can endeavor to give our citizens and their families security against attacks from without, and against fear of economic distress in old age, in poverty, sickness, involuntary unemployment, and accidental injuries. We need to look forward to the accomplishment of these objectives—world peace, democratic society and a dynamic economy."
Total assets of Northwestern University in 1920 totaled $11,900,000.
The report presenting the results of the planning board's work on post war plans and measures to meet the problems of transition from war to peace, included:
"Plans for demobilization of men from the armed forces and from war industries, demobilization of war plants and wartime economic control, plans with private enterprise and for improvement of physical facilities—urban transportation, energy, land, water, and public works. Also included are plans for the development of service activities—health, nutrition, education—and for social security."
Kansas Faces Road Problem Officials Say
Topeka, (INS)—One of Kansas' most difficult problems until the end of the war will be that of maintaining farm-to-market roads, officials said today as the legislature struggled with the problem of making revenues cover extending needs.
Because of reduced gasoline and auto taxes, the Senate has approved a measure providing that the state return to counties for local road maintenance only 25 per cent of money collected from gasoline taxes, instead of the fixed sum of $600,000 as has been done in the past.
Some even predicted that the situation may become so serious that a special session of the legislature may be called for the first of next year so straighten out matters.
Under this procedure, local officials swamped the capital with protests saying any farm-to-market roads will have to be neglected or property owners must face another tax increase.
Meanwhile the house agreed with the senate on the scheduled adjournment date by adopting the upper house resolution to cease consideration of all bills after next Thursday
The house ways and means committee put a bill on the calendar calling for the purchase of a new $2,000 automobile for the governor.
The house is expected to take up the controversial labor bill the last of this week or Monday at the latest.
