BUSINESS SEEKS TO ASSIST IN
DIRECTING PROGRAM FOR
NATIONAL RECOVERY.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
©, Western Newspaper Union.
^ \ fORE and more It becomes evident
* that President Roosevelt intends
to pursue a middle of the road policy
In his efforts for national recovery, and
that in the over-
» whelmlngly I mmocrat-
ic next congress there
| F ^ - t] wi || p e enough no one faction to dic-
iSL ’4 strong
fg tate to him. The Chief
Executive and the
business leaders of
the’ country are grad¬
ually coming together,
and if and when they
reach an accord on
methods it will be
Silas Strawn f oulU j that a good
many of the more radical ideas of the
brain trusters will cave been discard¬
ed. The best minds In industry and
finance are no longer standing back
and merely criticizing. They are tak¬
ing an active part in planning foj
future welfare of the nation,
with aft summarized some of
portant new developments in this
rection:
I'resident Henry I. Harriman of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
in pursuance of a resolution adopted
by the board of directors, has appolnt-
ed a committee of six men, beaded by-
Silas Strawn of Chicago, to co-operate
with other business and agricultural
associations in drafting plans for the
recovery of business. The board of the
chamber endorser! the continuationuof
relief and housing, but signified that
business is still opposed to the unbal¬
anced budget, further reduction of
working hours as embodied in the
movement for a 30-hour week, new and
unprecedented outlays for public
works, continuance of the XKA, the
doctrine of majority rule in collective
bargaining, and unemployment insur¬
ance.
Through the National Association of
Manufacturers, Invitations were sent
to^Kery manufacturer in the United
to attend a national industrial
conference In New York on December
5 to draft “constructive recommenda¬
tions" for presentation to President
Koose^lt. Among those signing the
call TW’this chai^^Brof meaM^W-as John J. Ras-
kob, former the Democrat¬
ic party, included in the questions the
industrialists will try to answer are;
What in the future should be the re¬
lation of government to business?
Ilow Is the gigantic problem to he
met to relieve distress and at the same
time not plunge the nation into bank
ruptcy or threaten Its credit?
How is the new flow of private capi¬
tal into legitimate investment to be
stimulated?
What new moves to curtail unem¬
ployment are practical and feasible?
In a petition addressed to the Presi¬
dent and congress the National Econ¬
omy league has presented a definite
program for balancing the federal bud¬
get in the coming fiscal year, holding
that only by balancing the budget can
sustained national recovery be accom¬
plished. The petition proposes heavy
reductions in government expenditures
and additional taxes totaling $935,000,-
000 , but does not presume to suggest
how the new taxes should be raised.
The league’s proposed budget is giv¬
en In round numbers as follows:
RECEIPTS

Income taxes .................11.250
Excise and miscellaneous taxes 1,500
Processing taxes ......... 300

’M'OT SO pleasing to the Industrialists
7 were the two speeches the Presi¬
dent delivered during his Inspection of
the Tennessee valley project, for If his
predictions are borne out, his “revolu¬
tion" will bring about the death of pri¬
vate enterprise In the power industry.
At Tupelo, Miss., he declared himself
flatly for public ownership of public
utilities, saying: “What yon are do¬
ing here is going to be copied ) n every
state in the Union before we are
through”; the allusion being to the
fact that Tupelo has contracted for
TV A power.
In Birmingham the President said:
"I am aware that a few of your citizen¬
ry are leaving no stone unturned to
block and harass and delay this great
national program. I am confident
however, that these obstructionists, few
In number In comparison with the
whole population, do not reflect the
views of the overwhelming majority.
“I know, too, that the overwhelm¬
ing majority of your business men. big
and little, are in hearty accord with
the great undertaking of regional plan
ning now being carried forward.”
Of the government power projects.
Mr. Roosevelt said: “This is not regi¬
mentation. It Is community rugged in¬
dividualism. It Is not the kind of
rugged individualism that allows an In¬
DADE COUNTY TIMES; NOVEMBER 29. 1934
divid :.^4o do this, that or any other
thing that will hurt his neighbor. He
is forbidden to do that from now on—
and it Is a mighty good thing,
“But he is going to be encouraged in
every knoWD way from the national
capitol and state capitol and the coun¬
ty seat to use his individualism in co¬
operation with his neighbors’ individual¬
ism so that he and his neighbors may
improve their lot in life.”
The I'resident said there probably
would be “a certain amount of—what
shall I say?—rugged opposition to this
development, but I think that opposi¬
tion is fast fading.”
tt THEN the federal conference on
\ V economic security met in Wash¬
ington, nearly ail the members of the
advisory committees were present.
The President told the delegates that
he would present to the coming con¬
gress bills to provide for setting up im¬
mediately an unemployment insurance
program. As to health insurance and
old age pensions, he said he was not
certain the time had arrived for fed¬
eral legislation to put these into effect,
and he uttered a warning against
"organizations promoting fantastic
schemes" and arousing hopes “which
cannot possibly tie fulfilled."
Though Mr. Roosevelt conceded to
the separate states the right to decide
unemployment insurance
the.^R woiJl-^Sfffffe - Sjfcopt, the he declared federal that he
to govern¬
ment the right to hold and Invest and
control all moneys which might be
collected.
This was necessary, the President
added, because of the magnitude of
the funds, and "so that the use of these
funds as a means of stabilization may
be maintained in central management
and employed on a national basis.” It
is expected that from $4,(KM),000,000 to
$5,000,000,000 would be raised in the
course of several years.

f-'OHTY-FIYE new bills were pushed
r through the Louisiana legislature
in five days with Senator Huey Long
on the rostrum telling the legislators
just what to do, but seldom stopping
;o tell them why. The "Kingfish" says
he now is in position to make the state
a Utopia, or rather. In his own words,
“the kind of state nobody has dreamed
of.” It is the general belief that he
hopes his “share the wealth” program
will ultimately land him in the White
House.
The senator’s most ambitious legls
lution is the statute proclaiming a two-
year moratorium for harassed debtors.
Another bill sets up a civil service
commission, composed of state admin¬
istration leaders, with power to re¬
move police and fire chiefs. That will
give Long control of virtually all mu
nicipal policemen and firemen. Long
said the bill was intended to take them
“out of politics." 0
Long’s first contemplated move to
bring his new laws into use was- dis¬
closed when he announced Clint O’Mal¬
ley, Alexandria chief of police, would
have to be removed from office by the
civil service commission because he
permitted “two riots in the public
square.”
XITHILE seemingly futile conversa-
VV tions about naval limitation are
continuing in London, the United
States and Japan are engaged In what
looks like a little game of bluff. Sec¬
retary Swanson, after asserting the
American navy would be built up to
full treaty strength, and that this coun¬
try could beat any others In a navy
construction race. Intimated the other
day that It might be a good plan tq
send one of our great uaavy dirigibles
on a trip to the Philippines.
Vice Admiral Sankichi Takahashi,
new commander in chief of the com¬
bined Japanese fleet, declared Japan
was determined to retain the west Pa¬
cific mandate Islands at any cost; and
that Japan’s claim to naval equality
with Great Britain and the United
Slates with a view to an all-round re
Auction of armaments is the fairest
and most reasonable scheme imagina¬
ble. As Japan Is leaving the league
of Nations, the mandate given her aft¬
er the war by the league over the
Marianne. Caroline and Marshall Is¬
lands is likely to come up at Geneva
next year. Admiral Takahashi says
the Japanese navy Is ready to resist
forcibly any attempt to take these is¬
lands away from Japan.
'T'WO really eminent men and useful
A citizens passed away In recent
days. One was Justice Frederic De
Young of the Supreme court of Illi¬
nois, who had served the public long
and well. The other was Cardinal
Pietro Gasparrl, most accomplished
diplomat of the Vatican, who was
papal secretary of State during the
World war and until 1929.

Co. has supplied most of the gov¬
ernment’s explosives almost ever since
the establishment of the Republic, and
during the World war, according to tes¬
timony before the senate special com¬
mittee on munitions, the concern re¬
ceived orders totaling one billion two
hundred and forty-five million- dollars
and paid dividends totaling 4,IS per
cent of the par vaiue of its original
stock.
At the request of Chairman Gerald P.
Nye of the committee, Lammot du
Pont, president of the company, has
set forth his recommendations con¬
cerning the business of war munitions.
These are, in brief, the elimination of
all excessive wartime earnings applied
to every business and every individual,
nnd -federal control over the export of
munitions.
(RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has gone
to his winter retreat at \Y arm
Springs, Ga., where he will remain
until after Thanksgiving day, and on
die way had some interesting experi¬
ences. First he traveled to Harrods-
tiurg, Ky., where he helped Gov. Ruby
Laffoon and other officials in the un¬
veiling and dedication of a memorial
to the men and women who established
there the first permanent Anglo-Saxon
settlement west of the Alleghenies.
The monument, erected by the federal
government at a cost of $100,000, over¬
looks Pioneer Memorial State park.

pOIl the y-se of obtaining better

tjgaged in lending government funds,
President has appointed a commit-
’ consisting of the heads of the agen-
es, with Secretary of the Treasury
Morgentifcau as chairman. The new
organization will report to the Presi¬
dent from time to time and its activi¬
ties will cover the treasury, Interior,

credit. Home Owners' Loan corpora¬
tion, agricultural adjustment adminis¬
tration, export-import banking, com¬
modity credit, federal deposit insur¬
ance, the RFC, federal reserve board
and public works housing.
In connection with this co-ordinating
move, the White House stated that
when the present applications of the
Home Owners' Loan corporation have
been reduced to terms of approval the
original $3,000,000,000 allotment will
have been used up.
A NDREW MELLON may now have
zA another cause for grievam
against the federal Treasury depart¬
ment, for the government has made
charges against the Union Trust
company of I’ittsburgh, a Mellon insti¬
tution, of filing “a false and fraud¬
ulent income tax return” for 1930 in a
tax action demanding payment of $218,-
333 plus a 50 per cent penalty.
In supporting Its claim, the govern¬
ment listed eight transactions in 1931
as evidence that all were “a part of
a false and fraudulent course of con¬
duct on the part of said Union Trust
company.” Among the 1931 transac¬
tions were two "accommodation” deals
with Andrew W. Mellon.
r TNCI.E SAM need expect no pay-
ment from France on the war debt
on December 15, when the next install¬
ment is due. It is stated In Paris that
France will then de¬

premier, opposed pay¬
ment in 1932, when

The only idea for revision of the
debts that has met with any enthusi¬
asm In French parliamentary circles Is
a 10 per cent payment to correspond
with the reparations relief granted
Germany by the Lausanne agreement
Proposals for larger amounts, or “pay¬
ment in kind.” have met with coldness.
The chamber of deputies Is clinging
to the position that France will not
pay one cent more than It gets from
Germany.
r'EDERAL JUDGE CHARLES L
T DAWSON of Louisville. Ky„ over¬
ruling an attack on the validity of the
Frazier-I.emke farm moratorium act,
declared "with regret’’ that It is con¬
stitutional . In his opinion he said:
“The legislation, in some of its pro¬
visions, is unfair to creditors, and un¬
wise even as to farm debtors, for It
inevitably closes to them ail private
sources of credit.”
Wi4'A
National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart
Washington.—Administration plans
and policies appear to be undergoing
a shaking- down proc-
Shake-Up ess. Safely passing
in Policies the elections and
with no need to
make moves solely to please particu¬
lar segments of voters the President
appears to have started getting rid of
duplication in the various alphabetical
agencies of the government. Further,
many conservatives are taking some
hope out of other administrative ac¬
tions lately and are willing to believe
that the shake-up among the many
emergency groups along with White
House pronouncements may possibly
indicate a slight return toward what
they regard as sounder fundamentals.
In a move held by many observers
to Indicate an attempt by the Pres¬
ident to eliminate some waste the
President has brought under one su¬
pervisory control all of the agencies
lending government money. It may
be surprising to know that there are
ten important federal offices engaged
in loaning money. They have been
operating largely on their own pro¬
grams. No attempt has been made
heretofore to co-ordinate their efforts.
The result has been conflicting policies
and undoubtedly waste in results.
The President now proposes that
this shall end. He has named the com¬
mittee for the defined purpose of es¬
tablishing uniform policy respecting
government loans and has declared
with emphasis that the duplication
must be eliminated.
Some leaders in and out of the gov¬
ernment construed this action as in¬
dicating a conviction by the Presi¬
dent that there were too many agen¬
cies floating around doing odd jobs
without restraint. Others believed
that Mr. Roosevelt was making an hon¬
est effort to bring some semblance of
order out of chaos in the hope that
eventually expenses can be reduced
thereby.
In support of this view was the ac¬
tion taken by the Home Owners’ Loan
corporation which has cut off further
loaning on homes. In announcing its
action the home loan board said it be¬
lieved government aid in this direc¬
tion was no longer necessary, thus in-
ferentially at least saying that some
recovery had taken place. _
The home loan agency is among
those placed under cabinet committee
control. It will begin immediately to
ehrink its organization, turning loose
eventually a total of 28,000 workers.
The Reconstruction Finance corpor¬
ation, another one of the grou(>s which
will be guided by cabinet committee
policy hereafter, has announced it will
not seek additional funds from the
forthcoming session of congress. Bor¬
rowers who have been using that
agency will be accommodated further,
of course, in accordance with the
terms of their obligations but the
whole tendency will be to cut down
on new loans.
And so it is for the first time in the
current administration we are witness¬
ing a shrinkage, rather than an expan¬
sion, lit governmental facilities set up
ns a part of the recovery program of
the New Dealers.
* • *
Along with the establishment of the
loan policy committee, there came an
order from the treas-
May Export ury, bearing Mr.
Currency Roosevelt’s approval,
which once again al¬
low* unrestricted exports of currency,
but not golli or silver metal. Hereto¬
fore it has been necessary for private
business to obtain a specific license
from the treasury before it could ship
currency abroad in settlement of ob¬
ligations. This move is expected to
have far-reaching consequences because
It lift* from business one of those an¬
noying red tape procedures to which
business always objects and a kind
of transaction that has never crept
into private business in any way.
Gold and silver, both having been
nationalized under the New Deal, must
stay in this country. Gold must stay
In the coffer* of the treasury. Never¬
theless, from maDy sources I hear fa¬
vorable comment on the relaxation of
the restrictions on movement of cur¬
rency because it is generally believed
the action will have a psychological
benefit. Many persons will feel that
If the government at Washington Is
willing to permit shipment of curren¬
cy abroad, there is no reason to fear
embarrassing situations as a matter
of dealing in currency. Of course, ob¬
viously, the confidence hitherto repos¬
ing In our dollar by foreigners cannot
be fully restored as long as gold can¬
not be shipped but the present change
admittedly improves the situation. It
should be explained that the treasury
still keeps Its fingers on the currency
movement and that It has the author¬
ity to slap on an embargo again when¬
ever It sees fit This appears to be
unlikely, however, as long as interna¬
tional trade retains anything like its
present stability. Indeed, experts de¬
clare that greater stability in interna¬
tional trade ought to be one of the re¬
sults and the treasury is obviously
looking for that end to he served.
In some quarters the lifting of the
ban on currency exports was accept¬
ed as meaning that Mr. Roosevelt is
not entertaining any thought of fur¬
ther devaluation of the currency. He
may have to give consideration to that
proposition after congress comes back

Although, as I said, the fight is wid«
open there are certain straws tint
tend to show the way the wind h!
blowing. There are certain bad-
grounds and conditions as well tbj|
must be accepted as having a mean,

For example, Representative Bvraa
of Tennessee, the Democratic spee^ leader!
while the late Mr. Rainey was
er, normally would be expected to be
chosen as speaker. But Mr. Byrnes 1|
not sure. In fact, there are many d

invited aboard the President's speciil
train to make the recent trip to Bar

There is a row brewing between tin
North and the South. Northern Dem¬

southern domination of the bouse,
Consequently, some of the harmonU-
ers are attempting to effect a dal
whereby the speakership will go a

leader be filled by a northern iw-

In this combination the names of
Representatives Rayburn of Texai

arrangement has vulnerable spots be¬
