Washington july 4 a these in the highlights of president Roosevelt a veto message to Conli on the Bill Banning government subsidies for keeping Down food prices Quot these restrictions would prevent our giving to Farmers the assistance they need in carrying out our new lax production programs essential to feed our citizens hid our soldiers they would make it impossible Lor us to Stop the rising Cost of living. Quot no matter How this measure is interpreted it will have a lasting effect upon our Economy and our Wir Effort about which i believe Julie Congress and the american people ought clearly to be warned. Quot this Bill Blacks out the program to reduce the Cost of living Iii other words it completely outlaws tile relent inductions m the Price of meat and hotter which we instituted in order to help Jet the Cost of living Back Down from the height to which it has risen in resent months. J by this measure the Congress will compel every housewife to pay live cents a Pound More Lor every piece of Bulter that goes on her Able and to pay higher prices for every Stork chop every ounce Oit tee.

Quot food is on important As any other strategic War material. Titis measure however would mean that every Arditi Mal Dollar paid to the Farmer to get extra War crores we need to feed our soldiers abroad would reduce the purchasing Power of the limited allowances of their wives and children at Home. Quot such a restrictive measure would serve Only to set the Soldier. The worker and the unorganized consumer at War with the Farmer a thu it government cannot effectively stabilize tax Cost of living if it cannot stabilize the Cost of necessary foods. As a matter of fact this measure even takes from the government Powers which it was Given under the first Price control act. As the danger of inflation grows the Congress would by this Bill put new shackles on those whose duty it is to fight inflation the fight against inflation cannot be won that Way Quot with a Well balanced Cor bin turn of measures we must keep1 wage rates and Consumers food prices from rising if we wish to hold Down living costs.
