Mr. Hurley said that the old feel
ing of mutual resentrn emit which has

frain from expressing thanks In com
nunicattone with business men on the
ground that the Government need
ask no fAvors nor thank anyone.
This attitude, Mr.. Hurley declared,
was 8 false one and only served to
ALLEVIATE Government and business

that the old method Of using the

them to direct their businesses proper
