BUSINESS REVIVAL
PROGRAM Of c. 0.P.
|. MEETS OPPOSITION
Governments Scheme Of Stab
ilization Generally Misunder-
stood in Commerce World.
BY Intern ationaI News Service.

Misconception among big business
leaders of the real purpose of high
Government officers in their plans TO
stabilize business and industry sud-
denly has slowed down the program
Of the Administration to help busi-
ness"
This was reflected today in pro-
tests to Senator'S and congressman
against what they regard as attempts
to keep the Government in business"
through the varied stabilization mea-
sures projected either in Government
departments or at the Capitol
Proposals to bring business inter-
ests of every kind into a concerted
plan whereby vital statistics of in
dustries may be furnished to the
Government, has aroused keen op-
position in some quareers, where the
efforts Of the Cabinet are apparently
not clearly understood or accepted.
Members Of the Cabinet today with
out exception favored continuance of
the series Of conferences with differ =
ent Industrial groups, but 1t was
noted that in some OF the groups
which have been consulted and asked
TO send representatives to Washing
ton, considerable apathy has been
manifested.
Chief objection to the plan of the
Administration to collect vital statis-
tics on production costs and other
costs, for the benefit OF industries
themselves. as well as the public. Is
that such a course by industries
would seriously affect or destroy their
business rights. and provide a means
by which inscriptions competitors
might take advantage OF the infor-
nation thus disclosed to the Govern
ment.
