WARNINGS VOICED

DR.. A. c. Christie Declares
Practice in Europe Not
Successful.

The United States should proceed
slowly in any attempts to socialize
the practice Of medicine, DR.. Arthur
c. Christie, well-known health author
ity and past president OF the Washing
ton Medical Society, told the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association yester-
day afternoon.
While medical care Is agreed upon
now as one OF the necessities Of life, he
said, society has not yet reached that
somewhat Utopian point where every
one can get all of the necessities free.
To emphasize his warning against
adopting wholesale insurance legis-
lation without knowing exactly what
should be done, DR.. Christie pointed
to the Ill effects of such plans in Eu-
rope, where every country has either
voluntary or compulsory health in
surance.

THE PRESIDENT REPLIES

The President, under date of Sept.
2, 1885, wrote the following reply to
Mr.. Howard
My Dear Mr.. Howard:
L appreciate the tone and pur-
pose of your letter, and fairness i'm
pels me to note with no little SYM
pathy and understanding the facts
which you record, based on your
observations as a reporter of opin-
ion throughout the United States. 1
can well realize, moreover, that the
many legislative details and proc
esses incident to the long and ar
duous session of the Congress should
have had the unavoidable effect of
promoting some confusion in many
peoples minds.
i think we can safely disregard
the skept;cs of whom you speak
SkepticS were present when Noah
said it was going to rain, and they
refused to go into the Ark. We can
also disregard those who are &C
tuated by spirit of political parti-

or retain personal profit at the ex-
pense Of, and detriment to, their
neighbors. Then there were those
who told us to do nothing We
had heard of the do-nothing policy
before and from the same sources,
and in many cases from the same
individuals. We heard it when
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson proposed reforms.
1.-The country has learned how to
measure that kind of opposition.
But there are critics who are hon
est and non-partisan and who are
willing to discuss and to learn. I
believe we owe, therefore. a positive
duty to clarity our purposes. to de-
scribe our methods and to reiterate
our ideals. Such Qualification is
greatly aided by the efforts of those
public-spirited newspapers which
serve the public we'll by a true por-
trayal of the facts and an unbiased
printing of the news.

NO CROOK LOVES A COP"

That certain elements OF busl-
ness have been growing more hos
tile to your Administration is a
fact too obvious to be classed as
news. So long as this hostility
emanated from financial racketeers,
public exploiters and the sinister
forces spawned by special privilege
it was Of slight importance. NO
crook loves a cop. But any eX-
perienced reporter will tell you that
throughout the country many bust
ness men who once gave you sincere
support are now. not merely hostile,
they are frightened. Many of these
men whose patriotism and sense OF
public service will compare with
that of any men in political life,
have become convinced and sin
cerely believe:
That you fathered tax bill
that aims at revenge rather than
revenue-revenge on business;
That the Administration has
side-stepped broadening the tax
base to the extent necessary to- APP
prOximate the needs of the situa-
ton:
That there can be no real re-
covery until the fears of business
have been allayed through the
granting of breathing spell to
industry, and a recess from
further experimentation until the
country can recover its losses.

taxes. namely the invisible taxes
paid by people in every walk Of life.
fall relatively much more heavily
upon the poor man than on the rich
man.
In 1929 consumers taxes repre-
sented only 30 per cent of the ma
tional revenue. Today they are 60
per cent, and even with the passage
of the recent tax bill the proper
ton of these consumers taxes will
drop only 5 per cent.
This Administration came into
power pledged TO a very consider
able legislative program. 1t found
the condition of the country such as
to require drastic and far-reaching
action Duty and necessity required
us to move on a broad front for
more than two years.
1T seemed to the Congress and to
me better to achieve these objec-
tiyes as eXpeditiously as possible in
order that not only business but the
public generally might know those
notifications in the conditions and
rules Of economic enterprise which
were involved in our program. This
basic program, however. has now
reached substantial completion and
the breathing spell of which you
speak is here-very decidedly so.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-06

The following letter dated Aug.
IS. 1885. was received from Mr.
Howard.
MY Dear Mr.. President:
As an independent editor keen
" interested in the detectives of the
New Deal, 1 have been seeking
reasons for the doubts and uncer-
.tainties OF those business men who
are skeptics. critics, and outright
opponents of your program at a
time when there is no oommensu-
rate dissatisfaction being evidenced
b. others of the electorate.
I do not accept it as a fact that
the interests Of what we broadly
term business necessarily are IN
conflict with mass interests.
I expect to continue IN support
Of your stated Interpretation Of
American OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ing my dissent and disagreement as
to some details and some theories.
Therefore, it is in friendly and l
hope constructive spirit that l at
tempt a few observations and opin-
ions which 1 believe timely and
pertinent. These represent, 1 be-
lieve. a composite Of the most ire
uuently expressed criticisms OF your
Administration.

Real Answer, Says Howard

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 6.-Roy
W Howard, chairman of the board
Of SCrlpps- Newspapers, said
today that business can be counted
upon TO get into the game" now
that the period Of New Deal

Mr.. Howard referred to an ex-
change Of letters between President
Roosevelt and himself in which the
President said that the principal
detectives Of his program have sub
stantially been reached.
Mr.. Howard preparing to sail on
the S. S. President Coolidge from
San Francisco on a world tour, said i:
The statement speaks for itself.
Business has the answer to the que5-

that the basic program of the New

/ sinister forces Such criticism it IS
an honor to bear. A car with many
cylinders can keep running in spite
of plenty of carbon-but it knocks.
When it is overhauled an important
part Of the job is the removal Of
that carbon.
In the large, the depression was
the elimination of unhealthy, how
ever innocent, arrangements in ag-
riculture, in business and in finance.
Our legislation was remedial, and as
such, it would serve no purpose to
make a doctrinaire effort to dis
tinguished between that which was
addressed to recovery and that
which was addressed to reform. The
two. in an effort toward sound and
fundamental recovery, are insep-
arabic. Our actions we're in con-
formity with the basic economic
purposes which we're set forth three
years ago.

what has been done rises into view, I
am confident that doubts and miSap-
prehension will vanish. 1 am con-
f1dent further that business as
whole will agree with you and with
me that the interests of what we

NEW YORK, Sept. 6. - Wall

velt's announcement of a breathing
spell for industry as highly Ia
vOrable for the stock market. Bust
ness men were skeptical in some in
stances. Bankers were silent.
In the financial community the
letter was seen as a further swing
TO the right and thus constructive
for business, which in turn would
be a stock marHet aid. However.
the stock market failed to generate
any quickening in activity, although

NO MAGICIAN'S WAND

1T is a source of great satiSfac-
ton that at this moment conditions
are such as to offer further sub
stantial and widespread recovery.
Unemployment is still with us but
it is steadily diminishing and our
efforts to meet its problems are I'M
tagging.
I do not claim the magician's
wand I do not claim that govern
ment alone is responsible for these
definitely better circumstances But
we all know the very great effect
of the saving of banks, of farms,
of homes, the building of public
works, the providing Of relief for
the destitute, and many other di-
rect governmental acts for the bet
terment of conditions.
And we do claim that we have
helped to restore that public con-
fidence which now offers so sub
Stantial a foundation for our re-
covery. I take it that we are all
not merely seeking but getting the
recovery of confidence, not merely
the confidence of a small group,
but that basic confidence on the
part of the mass of our population,
in the soundness of our economic
life and in the honesty and justice
of the purposes of its economic
rules and methods.
Il like the last sentence of your
letter and T rpOpat With oil its

developed, our system has in the
past enabled us to achieve greater
mass progress than has been at

that the tax base had already been

WISE BALANCE" NEEDED

AS spokesman for those purposes
pointed out that it was necessary
to seek a wise balance in American
system to public confidence, to pro-
tect investors in the security market,
to give labor freedom to organize
and protection from exploitation, to
safeguard and develop our national
resources, to set up protection
against the viciSSitudes incident to
old age and unemployment, to re-
lieve restitution and suffering and
to relieve investors and consumers
from the burden of unnecessary cor
porate machinery I do not believe
that any responsible political party
in the country will dare to go before
the public in opposition to any of
these major detectives.
The tax program of which you
speak is based upon a broad and
just social and economic purpose.
Such a purpose, it goes without
saying, is not to destroy wealth, but
to create broader range of oppor-
tunity, to restrain the growth of
unwholesome and sterile accumula-
lions, to lay the burdens of govern
ment where they can best be car
ried. This law affects only those in
dividual people who have incomes
over $4,000 year, and individual
estate of decedentS who have
over $4,000.
Moreover, it gives recognition to
the generally accepted fact that
larger corporations enjoying the adj
vantageS of size over smaller cor
porations possess relatively greater
capacity to pay. Consequently the
act changes the rate of tax on net
earnings from a fiat 1874 per cent
to a differential ranging from 1872
per cent to IS per cent. No reason
able person thinks that this is going
to destroy competent corporations
or impair business as whole. Taxes
on IS per cent of our corporations
are actually reduced by the new tax
law.
"A small excess profits tax is also
provided as we'll as an intercorporate
dividend tax which will have the
wholesome effect of encouraging the
simplification of overly complicated
and wasteful intercorborate rela-
tionShips.
