In it he defended business as the “scape- goat” of the depression and upheld the profit system. R. D. BR, Borrowed Phrase Discussing what he termed “various inaccurate implications and deduc- tions” resulting from the president’s announcement of a “breathing spell,” the commerce secretary recalled that Mr. Roosevelt had borrowed this phrase from Roy W. Howard in an- swering a letter from the newspaper publisher. “This declaration of the president is clear-cut and concrete,” said Roper. “It means specifically that the basic program of reform has been com- pleted. It means that businéss*no longer needs to feel any uncertainty as to what may come in the future with respect to governmental meas- ures, “Experience “may make necessary some modification and adjustment of existing laws, but such changes, if made, will function to improve those relationships which are so essential to national progress. . . .” Have Interest With Farmers Food firocessors have » common in- terest with farmers in the adjustment of farm production to market needs, Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agri- culture, told the convention, “American agriculture, with or. without federal guidance, must ad- just itself to a radically changed mar- ket situation, the outstanding feature of which is a lessened opportunity to export,” said Wallace. “American farmers,” he said, “must cease to produce for a market that has disappeared, and must adjust their output to a market that exists or can be created.

(Associated Press Photo) Gambling Charge To Face IN BRITISH ELECTION Stanley Baldwin’s Conservative Forces Expected to Win Handily London, Nov. 14.—(#)—Thirty-one million voters told the British gov- ernment. Thursday with ballots what they think of its domestic and for- eign policies. The seventh general election since the World war was expected in po- litical quarters to give Prime Minis- ter Stanley Baldwin's conservative forces a majority of approximately 150 in the house of commons seats. As the electorate chose the 615 members of the lower house of par- Hament after a rowdy campaign, po- litical observers forecast two possi- bilities: Laborites May Increase 1, The labor representation may be increased through reduction of the conservative majority, largest in history in the last parliament, al- though laborite victories hinge largely on the choices of liberal voters. 2. Some oustanding candidates, in- cluding party leaders who have be- come involved in factional disputes, may be relegated to private life after the ballots are counted. Outstanding among the candidates whose position is considered danger- ous was former Prime Minister Ram- sey MacDonald, present lord presi- dent of the council.
