“SELF-REGULATION" OF INDUSTRY URGED Chamber of Commerce Also Asks Reciprocal Tariff Plap. Adopting a platform for business which included the expected recom- mendation for a new measure of “self- regulation” for industry under Govern- ment supervision to aid economic re- covery, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States today wound up its twenty-first annual meeting here. Another recommendation _adopted proposed reciprocal tariff arrangements with foreign countries where such bar- gaining would be clearly in the national interest. Inflation Opposed. The chamber opposed inflation, was non-committal on the basic principles of the administration’s agricultural pro- gram and called for a banking policy that would entail extension of branch banking and ultimately bring every bank into the Federal Reserve System. In this connection, regulation of the security affiliates of banks was recom- mended and it was added “after a rea- sonable period of necessary readjust- ment, commercial banks should be re- quired to divest themselves of such affiliates.” The resolution opposed guar- anteeing bank deposits on the ground that it would “tend to promote carelest banking.” Insurance for bank deposits now is contemplated in the Glass bill, which was outlined to the chamber ves- terday morning by Senator Bulkley, Democrat of Ohio. At the concluding session the cham- ber heard Secretary of Agriculture Wal- lace assert that the administration did not propose to apply dictatorial meth- ods in administering the new farm bill, and from Secretary of Commerce Roper heard =& discussion of the Government plans for reorganizing its agencies. “Self Rule” Stand. On the subject of “self rule” for in- | dustry, which is now being agitated strongly by business interests as an al- ternative to the Black 30-hour bill and the proposal of Secretary of Labor Perkins for regulation through govern- mental boards, the chamber adopted the | following: Each trade association rep- resentative of its industry or branch in accordance with its conditions and in conference with the appropriate agency of the Government should be permitted ! to promulgate fair rules for industrial production and distribution, to improve the status of labor, the industries of the Nation and the public welfare.” “Federal legislation affording oppor- tunity for this form of self-regulaticn under Government supervision would produce conditions which would assure fair competitive opportunity for each enterprise and permit immediate in- crease in employment, raise earnings and free the public from the burdens and detriments it inevitably suffers from the results cf destructive compe- tition on the part of the least responsi- ble industrial elements. All enterprise could be held to standard fair compe- tition properly determined.” Supported by President. This is along the line of legislation now being studied by Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, and & commit- tee. It is the principle to which last night President Roosevelt pledged the support of the Government. The cham- ber today did not, however, make any reference in its resolutions to that por- tlon of the President’s speech dealing with wages. The chamber recommended that pro- posed Federal regulation of security offerings be deferred until a later date pending study. It said in this respect “in view of ‘the very grave questions that have been raised concerning the successive drafts of the bills now pend- ing in Congress the public interest could undoubtedly be better prompted and the protection of individuals made more secure if legislation of this kind were to be postponed until the next session of Congress in order that a Federal statute might be devised which would reach the evils which should be suppressed without unduly hampering honest and legitimate enterprise.” Another resolution reiterated the chamber’s stand for a balanced budget through ~ reduction in expenditures Tather than increased taxation. Another resolution called for increas- SPECIAL NOTICES.

Text of Roosevelt’s Talk" President Asks Chamber of Commerce of U. S.'to. 7 4 Consider Recovery in Terms of Whole Country Rather Than of Each Industry. full text of President Roose- velt’s address before the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States last night follows: Because of a national and world situation which has taken every moment of my time during the past two months I have had to forego the privi- lege of discussing many matters of common interest with the members of the Chamber of Commerce the United States. For the same reason, frankly, I have had neither time nor opportunity to prepare for you tonight any complete phase of our national problems. I do not have to tell you that the Government of the United States in its executive and legislative branches has been seeking and obtaining action re- lating to our own internal economy and to initiation of a co-operative spirit among all the nations of the world. We have sought through moderate and wise measures to increase the volume of trade, to give employment to the un- employed and to effect a broad elevation of commodity prices. Presents Three Requests. T present to you three requests. Dur- ing the past few weeks we have wit- nessed with a slight but definite upturn in most industries a simultaneous rise in most commodity prices. Past experi- ence indicates that when the price level begins to rise after a long perigd of de- clining commodity prices, wages which have been previously curtailed lag behind the rise in the price level. That result has in the past imposed upon those who labor an unfair burden; has prevented their just and equitable share in the profits of industry and has limited the purchasing power of the overwhelming majority of our popula- tion. 1, therefore, ask you, who represent in all probability the majority of the em- ployers €f the Nation, to refrain from further reduction in the wages of your employes and I ask you also to increase ur wage scales in conformity with and simultaneous with the rise of the level of commodity prices in so far as this lies within your power. It is a simple fact that the average of the wage scale of the Nation has gone down during the past four years more rapidly than the cost of living. - It is essential, as a matter of national justice, that the wage scale should be brought back to meet the cost of living and that this process should begin now and not later. Order Out of Chaos. My second request has to* do with bringing order out of chaos. During the past four years what previously been to be an order] trial system has degenerated into the highest disorder. You and I ac- knowledge the existence of unfair ods of competition, of cut-throat: prices and of general chacs. You and I agree that this condition must be rectified and that order must be restored. The at- tainment of that objective depends upon your willingness to co-operate with one another to this end and also your willingness to co-operate with your Government. In almost every industry an over- ‘whelming majority of the units of the ina,untry are wholly willing to work to- gether to prevent overproduction, to prevent unfair wages, to eliminate im- proper working conditions. In the past success in attainig these objectives has been prevented by a small minority of units in many industries. I can assure you that you will have the co-operation of your Government in bringing these minorities to understand that their unfair practices are contrary to a sound public policy. Welfare of the Whole. My third request is of a somewhat different nature, though it has an im- portant bearing on the other two. It is human nature to view a problem in terms of the particular existence and interest of the company or the business with which one is personally associated. It is, therefore, not unnatural that the various industries of the country should apply this same point of view to them- selves. And yet I call your attention to what must be clear to all of us, that each and all of you in your own units and your own industries are but an in- tegral part of a great whole and that our naitonal economy must be expressed in terms of the whole rather than in terms of the unit. It is ultimately of little avail to any of ycu to be temporarily prosperous while others are permanently depressed. I ask that translate your welfare into the welfare of the whole, that you view recovery in terms of the Nation rather than in terms of a particular in- dustry, that you have the vision to lay aside special and selfish interests, to think of and act for a well rounded na- tional recovery. May I take this opportunity to ex- press my special appreciation of the fine co-operation which I have had from your presidert, Mr. Harriman, and from his associates. He has felt free to call on me and I have felt free to call on him. In that spirit the Nation is working itself out of its troubles. In that spirit we shall succeed. ing the Navy to the maximum tonnage allowed under the arms act. Continued subsidies for ocean and air transportation also were advocated. An- other resolution reiterated opposition to Government operation of Muscle Shoals. Address by Wallace. ‘The Department of Agriculture “does not expect to use any dictatorial pow- ers” in administering the new farm bill, Secretary Wallace told the dele- gates. Departing from the text of his pre- pared speech, Wallace told the business group it was not certain just what would be done this Spring in carrying out the new agricultural relief measures, and that while plans were being dis- cussed, it was not proposed to set down any hard and fast rules, but that rather the measure would be carried out in conformity with the views of “experi- enced farmers and experienced proces- | sors,” who would be called into' con- | ference. Acreage Control Difficult. Secretary Wallace declared the most difficult part of the new measure is that | of acreage control, which he describes as “a decidedly unpopular thing.” He said, however, he could’ see no other alternative to this plan. In carrying out the farm bill, Wallace said, the in- terests of the consuming public must be watched, for, he added, “the consuming people can rise up and destroy this machinery very rapidly.” Taking up the subject of scientific work in the department, which, he pointed out, is often criticized by busi- ness men, Wallace said he thinks it Would be & mistake to destroy, “as some of you want to destroy, the scientific work of the Government,” adding that it had rebounded greatly to the benefit of industry. “So far as the farmer is concerned,” he said, “up to this time it has done him more harm than good.” ‘Wallace told his hearers that a “spirit of interdependence” must prevail if the new reconstruction measure is to work out beneficially.

During his address, the President told B the chamber that “We have a new na- ? | tional word, ‘got. ” He had just added to his speech a story of his talk fl&m Minister MacDonald of Great Britain. “We were talking,” he related, “about the hope of the world. The hope of helping the poor old world get back to its feet. I said: ‘Mr. MacDonald, it is more than hope. We have got to do it “He looked at me and said: ‘Yes, that 3,' good old Scotch word ‘got.” I .will go along with you. We have got to do it." “M. Herriot met me in the same way. The Canadian Minister was introduced to the word and used it, too. The Ar- ntine representatiye came.

F. C. Aid of Large Corporations. By the Assoclated Press. In passing a bill authorizing the Re- construction PFinance Corporation to purchase or make loans on preferred stock/df imsdrahée copanies, the Sen- ate yesterday tedk steps to force rafl- road, bank and other corporations to_slash big salaries paid their officers. The measure as amended and sent to the House carried a provision prohibit- ing future loans by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to any corporation paying a salary to an individual exceed- ing_$17,500. The salary restriction was proposed by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massa- chusetts, and was interpreted by Sena- tors as meaning that many railroads and banks, in order to obtain further loans, must reduce present salaries sharply. ‘Would Include Bonus. ‘The bill, introduced by Senator Fletcher, Democrat, of Florida, already carried the salary restriction as to in- surance companies, and the $17,500 would include salary, us, or commis. sion from subsidiary as well as parent corporations. As originally offered, the bill au- g:’onudu thcw Rfiwnstmciaon Finance rporation crease borrowings mxon,ooo.m to make the stock pur- chase or loans to aid refinancing of insurance companies, but this was cut | mit! to $50,000,000 on motion of Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, who with Senator Republican, Indiana, m_alwxedmthe measure. surance companies also would be required to put up new capital equal to the stock offered to the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation as collateral or sold to that corporation. ‘They also must aj not to retire any of their capital securities while they are held by the R.

After denying reports that the ad- ministration was preparing to shelve plans for reorganization of Government departments for one year, Secretary of Commerce Roper today sounded a warning' to all Government workers that in bringing about “the economies to which we are pledged, there are bound to be unhappy consequences to individuals, through no fault of their own.” Prior to addressing the annual con- vention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States on “The Place and Functions of the Commerce De- partment,” Roper told The Star that plans would be submitted to Congress by President Roosevelt before adjourn: ment of the special session. The cabi- net officer is Mr. Roosevelt’s chief reor- ganization adviser, , “We have put too much work on these plans and have hurried them along,” Roper, asserted, “s0 get them to Cangress dur%_thu session. Most as- suredly they not be shelved.” Explains Misinterpretation. ‘The shelving reports, he said, gained circulation because of misinterpretation in official quarters of the powers given President Roosevelt in the econgmy bill to reorganize the Government. The {l’oflmn states that plans must be sent 0 Congress while in session and “shall | not become effective until after the expiration of 60 calendar days * * * un- less Congress shall by law provide for an earlier effective date.” * ¢ ¢ Under this provision the plans could be submitted to Congress on May 30 and that body could adjourn the fol- lowing day. Sixty days thereafter the plfllns could automatically be placed in effect. “We won't resort to that trick.” Roper said. “The plans will be sent to Congress as soon as Mr. Roosevelt com- pletes his study.” He estimated that the Government would save by regrou ing bureaus within the Commerce Dx pariment alone approximately $15, 000.,000. Secretary Roper spéke at the closing session of the twenty-first annual meet- ing of the chamber today. Roper told the business leaders that many of the employes slated for dis- missal in his department were highly clerical, administrative, technical and scientific work. He said| they include both men and women of “education, culture, fine traditions, pa- triotic ideals and of proven loyalty.” Advocates “Staggering” System. In advocating a ‘“‘staggering” system to cut down as many dismissals as pos- sible, the Secretary continued: “As the ills of this depression are cured and, along with our business, the Government resumes some of the func- tions that now will have to be sus- pended, many of these employes could be re-employed. In view of this possi- bility, and also in order to protect their eligibility to the retirement privileges, which was in many cases an inducement for them to enter Government service, what would you think of the feasibility of staggering employment for those of the civil service force that are efficient and can be used under normal admin- hmgve conditions for necessary func- tions? In this way men and women would draw, say for 12 months, part of | their present pay, with the hope that conditions might during that time im- prove to an extent that would enable them to obtain more liberal treatment by the Government or to be absorbed industry. “Solicting your sympathetic co-opera- tion in this matter, I suggest that you consider the setting up of some sort of clearing-house arrangement, where you might receive from us and main- | tain records of such persons as would be genuine assets to any business that reaches .a position where it can em- ploy additional personnel.” Roper briefly outlined ti:e proposed | Federal Bureau of Transportation to| be set up in his department and urged | co-operation of the business leaders toward the solution “of our mutual | problems.” “It is the primary responsibility of business to formulate in the first in- stance ways and means for recovery| from the depression,” Roper declared. ‘The air is full of plans,” he added, the organization of some body, comparable to the Council of National Defense or the War Industries Board, organized by President Wilsor “Would you regard it fitting to make a beginning by organizing for the De- partment of Commerce a properly qualified co-ordinating general com- tee, to be designated, if you wish, the President’s Council on Business, con- sisting of a reasonable number of repre- sentatives of commerce and industry— say not more than 21 in all, and properly distributed geographically and industrially—who could advise period- ically with the department? “Such a body would be a channel; through which the business community could express itself to the Government; and would, at the same time, supply the Government with the moSt experienced business advice as to proper ways of stimulating and reviving the business of the country. It would be a body able to supply experienced advice on the multitude of plans for the stabilization of industry and for Government aid in such connections. “It would also serve s an agency through which there could be turned back to business its proper responsibility for effecting through its own organiza- tions those measures which had received the approval of the Government. might also say that such an agency could greatly relieve the existing pres- | sure uj the Government by itself { undertaking, to analyze and work out, in co-operation with the proposing business agencies and with the assist- ance of Government experts, proposi- tions not requiring governmental guid- ance or legislative action.

A plea for co-operation of local anglers in keeping the nearby streams and rivers fishable despite the necessary retrenchments of the Bureau of Fish- eries was made yesterday afternoon by Frank T. Bell, new commissioner of fisheries, in a talk over Station WMAL under the auspices of Rod and Stream, a Star feature conducted by Perry Miller. “The sportsmen of Washington and the Bureau of Fisheries,” he declared, “have a double responsibility. We not only have to maintain fishing that satis- fies our own ideas of what’s what in this line, but we also have to produce fish- ing that meets the varied ideas and expectations of a multitude of people who come from all parts of the country for sojourns of varying duration. “Not all Congressmen missing at roll call or committee meeting are playing golf. Many of them lay aside their togas of office to.don the nondescript garb of the fisherman. Those who come and go year after year are gen- erally eager to make contact with the descendants of the original inhabitants of the upper Potomac, the bass, and the aried forms of the fish that inhabit the lawer Potomac and Chesapeake Bay, and, in fact, anything that swims and wears scales. “There’s a real job ahead in keeping all these people satisfied, and it is a realization of these responsibilities that impels me to ask your co-operation and promise my own best efforts in accom- plishing the task.” GANDHI MAY BE FREED AFTER BEGINNING FAST Leader Reported Likely to Go to Ahmedabad to Make Home With Local Leader.
