The three powers soon will hold a
conference on future disposition of

The President, while favoring
reasonable wage increases to com-
pensate in part for loss of high
wartime pay, believes that the
amount of such increases will have
to be worked out by collective bar-
gaining in each case He declined
to say by what per cent he thought
wages should go up.
