PRESIDENT OPE ON ECDVERY PLAN Roosevelt Ready to Study Proposals of White Sul- phur Springs Conference. (Continued From First Page.) dence of “determined effort to bal- ance the budget” at “the earliest pos- sible date” primarily by limiting spending rather than through new taxes. 3. Definite action should be taken #as soon as possible” to fix the value and gold content of the dollar. Government Competition Opposed. 4. There should be no Government competition with industry in work relief because “Government compe- tition dries up the source of its sup- port. 5. “The creation of public works to provide relief invites waste and definitely defers a balanced budget.” 6. Arbitrary ‘“determination and limitation of hours and wages, as proposed in such measures as 30-hour bills,” are harmful. The Government should not try to control “local re- lationships between employes and em- ployers.” 7. The control of credit should be independent “of governmental dom- ination and political influence.” 8. The securities act should be modified. 9. Arbitrary curbs on agricultural products “should be guarded against and prevented.” Declared Astonishing. Among the legislators commenting on the program today was Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colorado, who said: “The reactionary White Sulphur Springs declaration of public policy is astonishing, even though it proceeds from a typically reactionary source. ‘The recovery path of America is to be found along the lines of pro- gressive policies rather than through any return to discredited and dis- carded methods.” “Those proposals are too conserva- tive for me,” declared Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho. “We are going to need relief for some time. I favor an extension along the lines of the C. C. C., with development of worth- while projects. Ending of relief and absorption of the load by private industry is something to look forward to, but not to cut it off at this time.” Senator King, Democrat, of Utah said: “Generally the recommenda- tions are too conservative and too reactionary. I disagree with the rec- ommendations on the old-age pension and unemployment insurance. As to the other recommendations, with some I disagree and some I agree, with modifications, but without study 1 cannot be more specific.” All Representative Byrns of Ten- nessee, who is considered certain to be the next Speaker, said was “That's a pretty big program,” but Repre- sentative Rankin, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi declared: “They remind me of the three drunken men who spent all night try- ing to paddle across a river only to discover when dawn came that they had not untied their boat.” Hit by Gov. Olson. While Gov. Wilson of Vermont favored the return of relief to the States when practicable, some expres- sions of vehemence came from State capitols, notably in the West and Midwest. For instance, Gov. Olson (Farmer-Labor) of Minnesota, said: “It is the expression of men who are still living in the decaying past. If the Federal Government withdrew its relief program, it would not only result in starvation and despair, but would mean destruction of the morale of millions.” Other gubernatorial comment on the relief proposal: Gov. Park, Missouri: “I'm in agree- ment with the declaration that the Federal Government is entitled to “whole-hearted support from business.” It is my opinion that the States are not at this time able to assume the entire relief burden, but should do their part as far as possible. Gov. Johnson, Colorado: “The re- lief burden has become too large for States and municipalities to carry. In Colorado, relief costs equals the total cost of all agencies of government, plus highway expense and cost of operating 19 State institutions.” Gov. Ritchie of Maryland: “The questioN is whether the States can afford to do it.” Gov.-elect Allred of Texas: “I don't think the State governments would be able to handle relief as efficiently as the Government at this time. It would be fine if they could.” Gov. Buck, Delaware: “I feel Del- aware is entitled to such assistance as the Government can afford to pay in an emergency like the present one, especially in view of the amount of taxes this State pays into the Fed- eral Treasury.” Gov. Green, Rhode Island: “I doubt very much if the time has come when the Federal Government can return the relief burden to the States.” Opinion of Pinchot. Gov. Pinchot, Pennsylvania: “If the business executives knew anything whatever about the financial condi- tions of the States, they would not make so ridiculous a suggestion.” Gov.-elect Hoffman, New Jersey: “We all want to lighten relief loads, but any suggestion that Federal aid be withheld entirely would not be prac- ticable in New Jersey just now.” Gov. Ehringhaus, North Carolina: “North Carolina is overpaying her share for relief.” Gov. Peery, Virginia: “A shift now would be impossible in Virginia.” Gov. Brann, Maine: “Adequate re- lief can only be provided through co- operation of the municipalities, the State and the Federal Government.” Gov. Blood, Utah: “Utah passed a 2 per cent sales tax to match Federal relief funds and otherwise assisted in helping the needy, but it would be absolutely impossible for this State to carry the entire relief load alone.” Gov. Ross, Idaho: “The policies of the Federal Government brought on the depression and it is now its Tesponsibility” to take care of the un- employed.” Gov. Bryan, Nebraska: “The Mid- west is suffering a depression forced on it by Eastern special interests’ policies plus the worst drought in his- tory. The States cannot afford it. T&:e‘proposu is unfair and unpatri- otic.” Noted Writer Divorced.
