FIVE PLANSFOR
 RESTORATION
 OF PROSPERITY
Henry T. Hartman, Presi- dent of U. s. Chamber of Commerce Presented Five Essentials To-day

New York. Dec 8--WP)--- Henry T. Hartman, president of the United States chamber of conf- merce, to-day laid down five essen- tiais for the restoration of pros- perity.
 They were:
 I. Spreading of available work to give at least part time work to all unemployed.
 through modification of restrictive laws.
 3. Creation of g profitable basis for agriculture.
 {. stabilization of theepurchaains power of the dollar. ,.
 (. Reduction of governmental ex- penditures and revision of taxes. yention of tho Association of Life Insurance Presidents. m
 Broadly speaking, the problem now before the country Is to re- store tho general price index of commodities with the level of the years of 1922 to 1929 and to give employment to the millions who are now ont of work" he said. "The partial or complete rcstora- ting of prices and employment is essential if our people are to re- pay the 200 billions they owo in public and private debts and to cont.aue the economic life of the country along safe and sound lIneg."
 Hartman saw three reasons for successive periods of active and depressed business. During pros- rerity wages lag behind profits with those who receive profits spending too little on conBumable goods and too much to increase production. The accelerated ad- vance of use of labor-saving ma chimes. Too much credit in proS- perity; not enough in depression.
 Through the lifting mists of the depression this fact is appearing as of paramount importance, namely. not on the side of making too much, but on the slde of distribut- ing too little," he said. We have preached too inslstently the gospel of production and needed too little the gospel of consumption"
 Hartman nlso advocated the creation of unemployment reserves during prosperity for use in de- pressions.
 He said agriculture suffered from too much and too poor land under cultivation.
 .,rhe government has repeated ly, and 1 fear in many cases, un- wisely interfcrcd with tho opera ton Of natural economic laws on the farm." he declared. Tt has es- tablishcd land banks and credit banks. Possibly they were rcces. sary but they have undoubtedly driven out of tho market private. credit sources which would other wise have been available to the farmer"
 Gardner Cowlcs. publisher of the Des Moines Register and Tribune, speaking on "rhe Trend to Cen. tralization." saw n definite lapse In the authority of the states and . general tendency of the people to depend moro and moro on the fed- eral government. n

 In many cases they will consider regulatory measures to replace state enforcement codes.

CHURCHESVOTE FOR STUDY OF
 BIRTH CONTROL
Federation Decided Not to Recommend Repeal of Prohibition Law s-- Considered at Next Ses- siOn
By WINTHROP LYMAN

 Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 9.-tUP) "A two-yenr study of the prob lems incident to distribution of birth control information was or- dered today by the Federal Coun- ell of Church of Christ after 1t refused to recommend repeal of prohibitory laws.
 The controversial birth control question arose in the course of adoption of liberalized creed of social ideals. Debate was acrim- onious and at times sarcastic. At one stage Dr w. 0. Thompson. president emeritus of Ohio State university. declared:
 "Presbyterians practice birth control more than they practice anything else. College students study this problem more seriously than you do. No topic is more widely discussed among young peo- pie than birth contr0l.p
 Dr Thompuson favored the orig inal statement on birth control drafted by a committee of social workers, pastors and sociologist. It read:
 "Whoiesome development of chil- dren can be expected only when they arc born with 8 normal equip ment in mind and body, to par- ents who .deslrc them or accept them with love when they come, and who are able to provide affec. ton, sustenarlce and education.
 The interests of morality and sound scientific knowledge and the protection of both parents and children require the repeal Of the federal and state laws which pro- hibit the communication of in- formation about birth control by physicians and other qualified per- sons. Abuse of such information can best be controlled by educa- ton. We may rely also upon the fundamental integrity of human life. "The problems related to ma ternal health as affected by child bearing, and the whole subject of the spacing of children and limita- ton of tho size of families, which
 has unfortunately become involved in acrimonious controversy, should
 be re-examined disapassionateiy from the point of view of morality
 and hygiene, with due regard to
 tho best means of maintaining de.
 sirablo standards of living and fully
 discharging the Fundamental obli. gations of parents to each othei
 and their children"

 port after dcleting the reference tt
