Let me specifically spell out what I will do and what I will not do. I intend to help focus the attention of business and labor on the need for increased productivity. This is the way for them to serve their own interest while serving the public interest. This is the only way to make sure that increases in earnings are not wiped out by the rising cost of living.

Now is the time for business at every level to take,price actions more consistent with a stable cost of living, and now is the time for labor to structure its wage demands to better achieve a new stability of costs. The fight against inflation is everybody's business. If you act againstthe national interest; if you contribute to inflation in your price
