President berates delay in reconversion; asks action, cooperation
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. — (U.P.) — President Truman tonight sharply berated congress for “needless delay” on reconversion legislation and called upon the people to demand prompt action because “time is running out.”
“What the American people want is action,” he said in a blunt challenge to congress to “fulfill its responsibility to the nation.” He warned that the country faces serious consequences to its economic structure for generations to come unless action is forthcoming.
Carrying the fight for his reconversion program directly to the people, he said in a half-hour radio address carried over all networks that “1946 is our year of decision.” In the next 12 months, he said, the nation must decide whether to devote full strength to achieving the goal of full production and employment, or face instead the prospects of unemployment and resultant domestic troubles.
“I wish I could say to you that everything is in perfect order—that we are on the way to eternal prosperity,” he said. “I cannot.”
His speech came against a gloomy backdrop of mounting labor strife which, he said makes him “deeply Concerned about the future.”
He did not coniine his criticism to congress. He lashed out as well at some segments of labor, industry, farm groups, and “pressure groups.” “I regret to say that those promises have not all been kept,” he said. “As a result, many obstacles have been thrown in our path as we have tried to avert the dangers of inflation and deflation.”

Council of Religion and the University library.

While a student at the University of St. Petersburg during the Czarist regime,' Dallin was arrested and imprisoned for participation in an underground organization. Two years later he escaped into Germany and lived there from 1S11 to 1917.
Dallin returned to Russia prior to the 1917 revolution when he was elected to public office. He served as an opposition deputy from 1918 to 1921 when he was once again arrested.

Wallach plans air law speech
“Air Law in International Relations” will be the topic of a talk to be given to the International Relations club Tuesday, at 3:15 p.m. in 318 Student Union.
The main speaker will be Richard Wallach, a graduate of SC and former member of the International Relations club.
Mr. Wallach is now doing graduate work at Occidental college in the field of international law. While at SC he received his degree in International Relations. He studied under Dr. Claude A. Buss, professor of the University of International Relations and recent assistant to the Phillippine High Commissioner. The speaker plans to return to SC to receive his doctorate.
The topic for the discussion has been stimulated by the fact, according to Mr. Wallach, that atomic energy will make radical changes in international law. With the possibility of such complete destruction being one of the pressing problems of the civilized world, a new era in world relationship must be brought into being.
“Economic and nationalistic forces,” stated Mr. Wallach, “are already operating to make the international scene a complicated one. The future of the world, peaceful or otherwise, lies in the air.”
This discussion should be of special interest to all students of International Relations. All members of the University of International Relations are cordially invited to attend.
