“In the first place, all his measures were right in

submission to every public and private duty, which threw
forever into tin shade the whole crowd of vulgar great.

1,1,1 called in young Doctor Win-the-War 1o cure

er program had not been settled on at all—ex
,vnt in generalities—it was clear that plans must
be made nmv for an expanded economy which will result in more
security, more employment, mote recreation, more education, more
health and better housing for all, so that the conditions of 10:12 would
not return again.
'J^HERE, from the President hint elf, you have the broad outlines
of a post-war New Deal which i- now Ix-ing mentioned as “The
New Peace program. It would in reality tie a successor to the Pres-
ident’s Win-the-War program. . •
This New Pence program has been dealt with in both the Presi-
dents regular mrs-ace and in his budget message to Congress.
Bim's of this New Peace program perhaps is best stated in the
Second Hill of Rights” passage f-nm the President's message:
“The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or
shops or fatm- or mines of the nation:
“The right to earn'enough to provide adequate food and clothing
ind recreation:
“The right of every farmer to raise Bnd sell his products at a rr-
Itnn which will give him and l\i* family a decent living;
“The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an
dmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination bv
monopolies at horn* or abroad; "
“The right of every family to a decent home;
1 he right to adequate medic I cote and the opportunity to arhievc
i i enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old
a\ sickness, accident and unemployment;
“The right to a good education.”
I’HIS eight-point program ceitainly did not get into the presiden-
tial message by accident. It is a ready-made political platform
f there ever was one. Whether it merely restates old ideals or states
i new peace program, it does not sound like much of an nband.m-
■nent of the New Deal. Maybe the label will be dropped as some-
lung that no longer garners votes, but that’s all, and into the Sex-ond
