President Asks Chamber of Commerce of u. S. to
Consider Recovery in Terms of Whole Country
Rather Than of Each Industry.

past four years what previously had
been considered to be an orderly indus
trial system has degenerated into one Of
the highest disorder. You and I &C
knowledge the existence Of unfair meth
ods of competition, Of cut-throat prices
and Of general chaos. You and agree
that this condition must be rectified and
that order must be restored. The at
tainment OF that objective depends
upon your willingness to Cooperate with
one another to this end and also your
willingness to cooperate with your
Government.
In almost every industry an over
whelming majority Of the units OF the
industry are wholly willing to work to-
gether to prevent overproduction, to
prevent unfair wages, to eliminate i'm
proper working conditions. In the past
success in attainig these objectives has
been prevented by small minority Of
units in many industries. can assure
you that you will have the cooperation
Of your Government In bringing these
minorities to understand that their
public policy.
Welfare Of the Whole.
My third request is Of q somewhat
different nature, though it has an i'm
portant bearing On the other two. It
Is human nature to view problem In
terms of the particular existence and
interest OF the company or the business
with which one Is personally associated
1t Is, therefore, not unnatural that the
various industries Of the country should
apply this same point Of view to them
selves. And yet call your attention to
what must be clear to all of us, that
each and all Of you In your own units
and your own industries are but an in
tegral part Of q great whole and that
our national economy must be expressed
in terms Of the whole rather than In
terms Of the unit
1t Is ultimately Of little avail to any
OF you to be temporarily prosperous
while others are permanently depressed.
ask that you translate your welfare
into the welfare Of the whole, that you
view recovery in terms of the Nation
rather than in terms of a particular in
dustry, that you have the vision to lay
aside special and selfish interests, to
think of and act for well rounded ma
tional recovery.
May I take this opportunity to ex-
press my special appreciation of the
fine cooperation which I have had
from your president, Mr.. Hartman, and
from his associates. He has felt free
to call on me and have felt free to
call on him. In that spirit the Nation
Is working itself out of its troubles
In that spirit we shall succeed.

ers" in administering the new farm
bill, Secretary Wallace told the dele

Departing from the text Of his pre-
pared speech, Wallace told the business
group it was not certain just what
would be done this Spring in carrying
out the new agricultural relief measures,
and that while plans were being dis
cussed, it was not proposed to set down
any hard and fast rules, but that rather
the measure would be carried out In
conformity with the views Of expert
enced farmers and experienced process
sors," who would be called into con-
ference.
Acreage Control Difficult.
Secretary Wallace declared the most
difficult part of the new measure IS that
of acreage control, which he describes
as "a decidedly unpopular thing" He
said, however, he could see no other
alternative to this plan. In carrying
out the farm bill, Wallace said, the in
terests of the consuming public must be
watched. for, he added, 1.-The consuming
people can rise up and destroy this
machinery very rapidly"
Taking up the subject Of scientific
work in the department, which, he
pointed out, Is often criticized by busi-
ness men, Wallace said he thinks it
would be a mistake to destroy. las some

work of the Government" adding that
it had rebounded greatly to the benefit
Of industry.

Because of q national and

lege Of discussing many matters OF

do not have to tell you that the
Government of the United States IN its
executive and legislative branches has
been seeking and obtaining action re-
lating to our own internal economy and
to initiation of a cooperative spirit
among all the nations Of the world.
We have sought through moderate and
wise measures to increase the volume OF
trade, to give employment to the un-
employed and to effect broad elevation
of commodity prices.
Presents Three Requests.
present to you three requests. Dur
lIlS tIlc PdSt lew WCchS VIC AAo'S "As
messed with slight but definite upturn
In most industries a simultaneous rise
in most commodity prices. Past expert
ence indicates that when the price level
begins to rise after long period Of de-
clining commodity prices, wages which
have been previously curtailed lag
behind the rise in the price level.
That result has in the past imposed
upon those who labor an unfair burden;
has prevented their just and equitable
share in the profits of industry and has
limited the purchasing power Of the
overwhelming majority Of our popula-
ton.
I, therefore, ask you, who represent In
all probability the majority Of the en-
ployers Of the Nation. to refrain from
further reduction in the wages of your
employees and I ask you also to increase
your wage scales in conformity with
and simultaneous with the rise Of the
level of commodity prices IN so far as
this lies within your power.
1t is a simple fact that the average
of the wage scale of the Nation has gone
down during the past four years more
rapidly than the cost of living. 1t is
essential, as matter of national justice,
that the wage scale should be brought
back to meet the cost of living and
that this process should begin now and
not later.
