Big business does not agree on the desirabllity of setting up a govern- mental agency to warn inst eco- nomic excesses, it devel yesterday at a heart: before a Senate Manu- facturers’ Subcommittee Alfred P. Sloan, president of General Motors, recommended enactment of the bill proposed by Chairmen La Follette of the committee to establish such a council, and said he believed economic planning was possible. Albert H. Wiggin. chairman of the governing board of the Chase National Bank of New York. told the com- mittee, however, that “there are bound | to be business depressions every so often” and added that “there isn't a commission or brain that can stop i Wiggin Sees Idea Failing. ‘Wiggin took the position, neverthe- less, it would do no harm to try the council idea, though he was quite cer- tain it would not succeed. Wiggin summarized the findings of the International Bankers' Committee at Basle last Summer as his views on steps necessary to business recovery. They were & rapprochement between France and Germany, reductions in rep- arations and war debts and lower tariffs. High tariffs and diversion of bank money into speculative channels were named by Wiggin as among the causes of the depression. Sloan sat on the edge of his chair and leaned over the committee table as though eager to answer La Follette's questions. Sloan Opposes Auto Cartel. “As the bill stands I am for it.” he said. “I'm very much in favor of it, and I think it's a step in the right direction.” He added that if it was composed of a group of really big men “something would come out of it.” “It's & scheme that would accom- glehh ll great deal through evolution,” said. Sloap advocated liberalisation of the anti-trust laws in the public interest; long-time planning of public works; characterized pi s for an inter- l:lltl’flnll automobile cartel as imprac- cal, automobile industry.
