There was wild applause over his

Governor Smith accused Hoover of

WORK

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Voluntary cooperation of business
agencies with the Government In
solving questions affecting the public
welfare has checked the American
Government from vast amount Of
interference with business. Herbert
Hoover declared today in a talk to
a delegation OF business men from
New York, Chicago and Cleveland.
Three organizations. the Business
Paper Publishers Hoover for Presi-
dent Campaign Committee. the Bush
ness Mems Republican Association
and the Engineers for Hoover Com
mittee sent delegation Of 100 to
his headquarters to assure him Of
their support and to predict a VIC
tory for him in November. In re-
plying to their greetings, Hoover
praised the contributions of lawyers
and engineers to the public welfare.
Lauds Business Friends
my business friends who are
here can go back over the last
seven years and recall the many en-
terprises and the cooperation be-
tween Government and business that
we carried on from the Department
of Commerce in the public inter-
est" said Hoover. That co-opera-
ton represents a new mode of rela-
tionship between Government and
business by which the men who
represent industry are able to sit
down with the Government which
represents the people as a whole
and determine upon policies of in
dustry which work out not alone
to their own interest but at the
same time in the public interest.
ST think that is one of the most
important developments of these
recent years and through the CO.
operation of business agencies them
selves we have been able to avoid
vast amount Of Governmental IN
reference with business"
Hoover concluded by thanking the
business representatives for their
support and good wishes.
