218 FIFTH DRAFT - 4 - compensation law so as to help workers through the difficult months of unemployment until reconversion could be effected. Congress has not yet passed such legislation. The responsibility for that is solely up to the Congress -- and specifically I mean the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representa- tives. I hope that this Committee to a sense of its obligation to the working people of the Nation, gives the Members of the House an early chance to vote on this important legislation. We must all recognize that legislation which helps sustain the purchasing power of labor is legisla- tion which benefits not labor alone but all of us -- business, agriculture, white-collar workers and every member of our economic society. I am sure that the workers of the Nation, those who depend upon manual labor for a livelihood, also feel a deep concern about full employ- ment legislation which is now pending in the Congress. I do not speak in favor of any one particular bill, but it is high time that the Congress adopt some effective legislation which embodies the principles underlying full employment. The American people are entitled to know now that this Government stands for prosperity and jobs -- not depression and relief. Passage of a Full Employment Bill will give the American people this assurance.
