they would continue to cooperate. But in too many instances the people
they represented have not backed them up.
It has been my experience in public life that there are few
problems which cannot be worked out, if we make a real effort to under-
stand the other fellow's point of view and if we try to find a solution
on the basis of give-and-take, of fairness to both sides.
I want to discuss the wage problem in just that spirit, and I
hope that all of us in the United States can start thinking about it in
that way.
Let me begin by putting labor's position before you. I do not
think we all understand how hard a blow our industrial workers suffered
in the shift from war production to peace production.
You do know that sudden total victory caused millions of war
workers to be laid off with very short notice or none at all. While
we hope to overcome that condition before too many months are passed,
unemployment is hardly a suitable reward for the contribution which
these war workers made to victory.
Many months ago I urged the Congress to amend the unemployment
