BACKGROUND— Sharp decline of business indices since late last summer has be- come major political issue as Gov- ernment, industry and labor each try to avoid responsibility. At one time, administration appeared ready to adopt mew attitude of conciliation toward business as White House conferences were held with business leaders. In past few weeks, however, extreme liberals have exerted considerable pressure in other direction. By the Associated Pres: Administration advisers said today President Roosevelt would make an aggressive bid for public confidence in his January message to Congress, | based on the contention the business recession is largely psychological. ‘They said the President would insist on his legislative program, but would propose no new ‘“reforms.” The mes- sage, they forecast, would contain a broad offer of co-operation with legiti- mate business, but no retreat from present regulations. ‘The Chief Executive laid the ground- work for this approach in his press conference yesterday by asserting that a psychology of fear was being fos- tered by a large percentage of news- papers and & small minority of public utilities. His accusation followed a secret conference with seven of his most loyal supporters in Senate liberal ranks, in which he was authoritatively reported to have pledged no slackening of New Deal activities.

RICHBERG T0 ACT FOR DOMINICANS To Be Member of Delegation to Commission Conciliating Border Dispute. By the Associated Press. Donald R. Richberg, former head of the National Recovery Administration, has been designated a member of the Dominican government's delega- tion to the Inter-American Concilia- tion Commission. Mr. Richberg re- ceived word of his appointment yes- terday. The commission is seeking a set- tlement of the Haitian-Dominican controversy. The other Dominican delegate will be Dr. Roberto Despradel, Dominican Minister to Cuba, it was learned. Ad- visers to the delegation, according to a confidential source, will be Dr. Man- uel Jesus de la Concha, special envoy on the dispute from the Dominican government to Washington; Dr. Ger- man Cruz Ayala, secretary of state | of the presidency of the Dominican | Republic, and Minister to Washington | Farmers Quit Jobs.

He said his country ‘“is offering its heartiest co-operation” toward settling the controversy, but that “the exag-| gerated comments of Bishop Jan do| not serve to foster a spirit of peace and fraternity.” Representative Fish, Republican, of New York, ranking minority member | of the House Foreign Affairs Commit- tee, told Congress yesterday he would | ask withdrawal of United States recog- | nition of the Dominican Republic un. less the dispute with Haiti is settled | promptly.

Friends said the Chief Executive was | gathering data to show the business slump was psychological rather than | fundamental. This view had been ex- pressed by several of the Senators with whom he conferred. This theme also was partially ex- pounded in the President’s press con- ference yesterday. He approached the subject by telling of his conference earlier in the day with Frank R.| Phillips, president of the Duquesne Light Co. of Pittsburgh, and William { H. Taylor, President of the Philadel- | | phia Rlectric Co | ¢ _They had agreed, he said, that the Federal Government had not inter- | fered with their industry in Philadel- | phia or Pittsburgh, but that fear was | making it difficult for them to get money for needed expansions. | This fear, the President added, had been caused by a small minority of | | industry, which sought to give the im- | pression the Government was attack- | ing all utilities. He made a distinction | | here between holding companies, which | have been the subject of legisiative | Testrictions, and operating companies. | crowded about his desk, of a Philadel- | phia manufacturer who he said had recently called on him and expressed approval of legislation regulating hours | and wages. | The President said he asked if the manufacturer would tell the country over the radio of his views. | “Oh, no,” he quoted the industrial- | ist. “My directors would not let me.” | His caller, the President added, explained his fear was not of the Gov- | ernment, but of his associates. | The Chief Executive said he had a | similar experience a few days later | with a New England tool manufac- | turer, whose product is sold largely in rural areas, and who said he favored | crop stabilization legislation, The attitude of hesitancy, the Presi- dent commented, was fostered by a | large percentage of the newspapers. Asked what the newspapers had to | g8in by creation of fear, the President | replied he had been wondering about | that and so had most of the country. . Indians Ask Citizenship.
