The statement was made in a special release, issued to counteract misunder standings that arose after Henderson testified recently before .the Ways and Means Committee of the House. Health Musi Be Guarded Henderson's complete statement on waires follows: "It is essential to the success of President Roosevelt's seven-point pro gram for control of the war time cost of living that wasres lie stabilized and that general wajre increases be avoided. Without wajre stabilization there can be no effective administration of the ]trice level. ••However, as a pari of real wage stubilization, the waye levels of sub standard groups of workers in our population must lie raised. Sub-stand ard groups cannot be condemned to a continuation of a substandard exist ence at a time when the country's wel fare demands that every citzen's health and productive capacity be iii.-iiulaiiicd and improved. ••Further, real wage stabilization re quires adjustments to remove inequities as between higherpaid groups.

Loral Inion No, 131.—John Hebron Loudon.-—Rritish workers are maln aining their old established practice of adding annual delegate conferences of [heir various organizations. Among the conferences scheduled lo take place in Hie present month the most representative assembly is the an nual conference of the Labour Parly, but there are also a dozen annual Trade Union conferences on the list and Ibe local Trades Councils, too, are holding their annual meeting. Delegates of the National Fnlon of Agricultural Workers, in conference at liourncmniif h, heard their President de cline thill Ihc farms of the count ry (his year will give a record harvest. Farm ers ami workers have responded to the appeal for greater food production. Last year's food production records (he said) proved Ibis, for even with fewer men on the land and little oiilside help greatly increased harvests were gath ered in. Importance of Agriculture Improved working conditions on the countryside sire rellected in the estab lishment of a weekly minimum wage of £.'{—the highest wage in the history of Rritish agriculture. The I'nion has grown stronger, likewise, and (he president expressed the firm belief that it would be privileged to share in the planning of agriculture afler the war. He suggested that a beginning could be made by retaining under Sta.le con trol the laud which passes during the war into Ibe temporary possession of (lie War Agricultural Committees. He added that si prosperous auri cull tire would be sin essential factor in o s t- w s e o n s u i o n S a v i n countries would have lo be fed. Inter national action must be taken to solve the problem of food surpluses- hungry people simply woirbl not tolerate fond being destroyed uhiKl lliey were .stal ing. Similar hopes and aspirations for n humane ami rational order of life after the wiir are embodied in resolutions on Hie agenda of the annual conference of Truth's Councils.

Labor News From Britain post-war planning ot the existing social services and national insurance sys tems. The T.U.C. proposals in this con nection are outlined in the report to the Trades Councils' conference. It. sots forth it comprehensive'scheme .to cover unemployment, sickness, death, widow hood and orphanhood, maternity, non onipensatory accidents, invalidity, blindness and old age. Tt proposes that (lie scheme should apply lo every gain fully occupied person. P.enelils should be on a Hal rate, plus dependents' al lowances. Contributions should also be on a flat rate, rM) per cent being paid by the Stille and the other fid per cent i.u tm111 11 proportions by the employers and employees. A single Ministry, it is suggested, hoiild administer the whole scheme. \t ladled to if here should be a com prehensive National Medicsil Service utilizing everything that science and research can command for the pre vention and cure of sickness and dis use. Such Is the quality and range of the thinking which goes on now among the organized workers. Opportunities for discussing such far reaching projects of post-war planning constitute the main reason why the hv^lers of (lie Trad" Union iind Labour movement consider it necessary lo continue the holding of the working class delegate conferences, notwithstanding war time restrictions. In its way, the fact that these annual meetings can still be held for unfettered purposes of discussion on such mailers is these is a tesiiuipny to the vigorous ind 111 i I i I a 11 spirit of the Rritish people. I1'roni Ibis poim of view significance ittachcd particularly to the annual onference of the Labour Parly. It was scheduled lo begin in Lundvli nil Whil Monday (May and went nn for four days. In normal times upwards of a thousand delegates from the na tional Trade Fnions ami Hie local aflili ited organizations of the Party attend the conferiMice. There may not he quite is many delegates on this occasion, hut it is bound lo be a large and lively as sembly. Its agenda alone extends (o more than 2(1 pages, and there Is a lengthy report of 00 pages, detailing the activities of the Parly's National Kxeeutive and the work of .the Parlia mentary Parly.

In another resolution fhe National Information On Social Security Housewives who take part-time jobs sis saleswomen, waitresses, or In busi ness places of any character are sub jee.t to the Social Security Act. Those women who have not had social se curity account numbers must obtain these cards when employed in com merce or industry. Women whose cards were obtained before their marriage may obtain duplicate account numbers bearing their present names. All em ployers are required to report the wages of part-time employes in any occupation covered by tlie Social Se curity Act. The names, earnings and social security account numbers of all employes must be shown when the tax is paid quarterly, under the Social Security Act. This statement is given by !len II. Pi Monger, manager of (he Voiingstowu, Ohio field ollice of the Social Security Hoard, because of the large number of women now returning to work or tindiug their first, jobs In commercial and industrial establish ments. School students taking jobs on farms during the vacation season are not re quired to hsive social security account numbers, sis agriculture is not covered employment under the Social Security Act. This statement Is made by (ilenu H. Pit longer, manager of the Youngs IOWII, Ohio social security field oflice.

Four hundred fifty carefully selected candidates for the Womens' Army Auxiliary Corps will be trained for eight weeks at a amp in Iowa.-Those who complete the course will be commissioned as oflicers and directly after that enlistments will begin and the auxiliary training will start on September 1.1. Qualifications for oflicer candidates are 21 to 4f» years age, must be high school graduates, have good health and good character. Vpplicants should present themselves in person to the nearest Army recruit ing station. The idea behind this new .Army Corps Is excellent. 'Hie main pur pose is to relieve young men from clerical and other non-combatant duties and replace them with young women many of whom will perform such tasks more eliiciently.
