NEW YORK--Wendell L. Willkie, addressing the millions who voted for him for president, urged them tonight to continue to fight for the principle of his campaign as a constructive opposition vital to the "balanced operation of democracy."

In a nationwide radio talk, the defeated Republican candidated asked the followers to continue the organizations they founded to support him but not in his name.

Willkie thus thrust aside post-election talk that the clubs might be maintained to insure his renomination in 1944.

As the first step in continuing his fight for the principles, he enunciated before the election, Willkie proposed "five steps" for the government to undertake immediately "in order to counteract the threat of inflation and to correct some of our economic errors."

1. Reduced federal expenditures except for national defense and necessary relief.

2. Private capital to be employed as for as possible in building new plants and machinery for defense.

3. Levying of taxes "so as to approach as nearly as possible the pay-as-you-go plan."

4. Adjustment of taxes and government restrictions" to take the brakes off private enterprise.

5. "Government must change its punitive attitude toward both little and big businessmen."

Willkie asserted that such recommendations must be considered by the administration without prejudice if it has "the unity of America really at heart."
