Speaking before the general ses-

Houston drew q distinction be

In the latter field, he added,
there has never been any great

further employment gains depend
on share-work movements until
those unemployed in other fields
find work and income.
He conceded that whether re-
duction Of hours with maintenance
of present or increased wage levels
would bring about a demand for
consumption of goods is subject
to debate" but added:
"There can be no question,
however, but what this procedure
will seriously curtail the de-
mand for durable goods with q
corresponding retardatiOn Of en-
pIOyment."
Houston declared that a mod
Grafton Of the Federal Securities
Act must precede a free flow Of
capital into the durable goods in
