Président—MY Presi- dent: I listened to vou the other night when, you tola us that in order to pr-iec. Gemocracy we must all make sacrifices, and I believed every werd of it. Most cf mv friends believed it, too, but do hi know} Mr, President, that alot of thém are ‘talking and that.a ot of bevs in the army are taiking? These people—fathers and mothers of the boys in the army and the boys themselves— are asking questions, You can an- swer themAand I belieye you should answer. them. My son making a_ sacrifice. He had a*jcb that paid $50 per weck and''he is now getting $21 per month as 4 selective service soldier. ane t a pretty ‘geod financiat’ ice. I, ‘and all members of my family are mak- ing a sa¢rifice. too, because this son contributed a large part of his wagesto help support his younger brothers and sisters. My own income is not nearly as great as was hi, ‘so you can se2 that all of us are making a sacrifice in acdition:to that which my son bas made. Ail of us‘do this glad- ly, for thig¥jbnefit of the country 2s aw hole but along with a lot of other puttnts and a lot of the «soldier boys, I am _ wondering whether you really meant that EVERYBODY should make a similar sacrifice. The chap who now has my son's job is‘ joining with a group which demands a wage boost of 25 percent. If they got it, the wage increase would be about double what my son is getting in the army. But he was satisfied. He worked for a corporation and believed he was being treated fairly. -When he left, this cor- poration told him he would re- cel his check for his vacation even though he will not be here when the vacation time errives. I have since received the check and sent it to him. I recently read the annual report of this same corporation and dis- covered that if employes last year had received 25 percent more in wages, there wouldn’t have been it vour idea that the corporation stockholders, soldiers and their families shall make all the sacri- fice? Is that chap who got my son's job, which was a promotion for him, then wants his pay in- creased 25 percent, making the kind of sacrifice you are talking about? And another thing about which the fathers and mothers are talk- ing is the Svstem now in effect which seems to promote the idea that if a man does not wish to join a union he can starve to death. I believe that a man has a right, to: belong to a union if he soxdesires, and.J am willing to fight to defend that right. But T also, believe that a man: has,a Weht .t) stay out of a union, if that be. his wish, and that even the government should, defend that right; ; This. of course, is un- der the assumption that we are still a dempcracy.

And the boys in the army, are wondering whether it might not be a good idea for them to re- fuse to sleep in a union-made tent, carry a union-made gun or tire union-made ammunition, Would they be protected by, you in the same way you are protect- ing men who say they. won't han- cle any non-union materials?
