In opening the conference I said:
"I want to make it clear that this is your conference -
a management-lebor conference - and not a Government conference.
You have not been chosen by me or by any Government official.
You have been selected by the leading labor and industrial
organizations in the United States. There has been no inter-
ference by Government in that selection.
"By the very nature of the task before you, you appear
here not as representatives merely of the organizations which
chose you; but a.s public spirited citizens, who during the
deliberations will consider the interests of all groups of our
people.
"The time has come for labor and management to handle
their own affairs in the traditional, American, democratic way.
I hope that I can give up the President's wartime powers as
soon as possible, so that management and labor can again have
the full and undivided responsibility for providing the production
that we must have to safeguard our domestic economy and our
leadership in international affairs."
I em sure that it was the hope of the American people
that out of this conference would come some recommendation for
insuring industrial peace where collective bargaining and
conciliation have broken down. The conference is now closed.

and worked together for more than three weeks is itself some
progress.
reached.
Some agreement on a few general principles was ate
For example, agreement on the value of governmental conciliation
services, on the dangers of disorimination in employment, because of
Isao, oreed or sex, on the efficacy of peaceful voluntary arbitration -
these are all valuable.
