Whatever assistance we in the government can give you in this matter will be gladly given. I wish to reiterate the sincerity of my belief in labor's capacity to end this breach and my faith in the intention of the wage earners of America to play their part along with all other groups in our community in overcoming our mutual problems and bringing about the good American democratic life. Open Minds Is Needed I am1, sure that these results can be achieved if the parties come together with open minds and a clear intention to effect genuine peace and harmony in the labor the cooperation of responsible groups of citizens of all walks of life, and the effectiveness of labor in this type of council can only be realized by its fundamental unity of purpose and program. I do not need to remind you of the great variety of opportunities to be of service which will come to a united labor movement. Many of your members have spoken to me of these opportuni ties and many of them have also pointed out to me the hazards and dangers to which the labor movement is subject, both internally and from without, if it can not find a pattern of unity.
