FORWARD POLICY

MR. TRUMAN ON PROGRESS

NEW YORK, August 31. ..- Senator Truman, formally accepting nomination for Vice-President, said that vital decisions by President Roosevelt in collaboration -with the- other Allied leaders.in winning the war and also the Presidents experience de-. manded his are-election in order to win. the peace. , Eeferring to post-war ' problems, Senator Truman said: "We cannot throw into., the junk heap 20,000 million dollars' worth of new plant and equipment. Only by using them can we hope to provide jobs for the services and war workers. We shallr ccmbine full employment with an evenl higher standard of living, and ensure1 the United States' position as the leader of world progress by using the: new methods and products discovered; during the war and also 'by encourage Irig research .and invention. "The attainment of goal 3' will not be easy. Already some selfish! interests are complaining. They will! prevent new, independent enterorisesfrom acquiring war plants. The Administration proposes to see that plants; are sold or leased on fair terms to; those who use them for the manufac-^ ture of consumer goods providing employment, for the. fighting merT and: war workers. The forces of reaction: must be overcome. We cannot go backward, as we tried to do.in 1920. We must go forward."
