COST OF LIVING
AND INCREASING WAR EFFORT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S HOPE EXPRESSED TO FEDERATION OF LABOUR (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) RUGBY, October 5. President Roosevelt, in a message to the 63rd annual convention of the American Federation of Labour, stated that he expected success in the Government efforts “to stabilise and reduce the cost of living in essentials.” He added that the battle of production was being won in every shipyard, machine shop and factory. “You will bear with me,” he declared, “the expectation and challenge that American labour will do more and more until victory is won and until peace is established. Increasing efforts to maintain the present production levels, and to increase them in some instances, will be necessary." The working people, he said, will be asked to continue their support of the war effort by saving money, making sacrifices and modifying their personal habits.
