"SEVEN FREEDOMS"

MR. WALLACE'S PLANS

Rec. 9 a.m,

NEW YORK, Sept. 12

The time had come for ,a new declaration of freedom for the common man everywhere, said Vice-President Wallace in a speech at Chicago. He attacked international cartels and monopolies as creators of secret supergovernment and isolationism, and as a screen behind which privilege sought to entrench its control.

He predicted that peace would not last long without the "Seven Freedoms"—freedom from worry about a job, from a dependent qld age, from sickness and hunger, from strife among workers, business, and farmers, from strife among creeds and races, from bankruptcy due to the over-pro-duction oife necessary materials, and freedom for "the venture of capital" and for inventors with new ideas to expand production without fear of repressive cartels, excessive taxation, and excessive Government regulations.

Mr. Wallace endorsed the. proposal that America should lead in planning peace, and urged action on problems of unemployment and Over-production due to international causes and power to deal with cartels. He also proposed that international monopolists should be barred from the peace table.
