CITES FINANCIAL HISTORY

Washington, March l2.-(R1-presi-

congress called Tuesday for regulation
Of public utility holding companies
and struck back ut propaganda"
flooding Capitol Hill against tho leg

Except where It Is absolutely
necessary to the continued function

operating utility system" said the
president, the utility holding COM
pany with its present powers must 60.
IT we could relate our financial
history in the light Of experience, cer-
tainly we would have none Of this
holding company business.
1T IS q device which does not be-
long to our American traditions Of law
and business"
Transmitting Z report BY the na-
tional power policy committee, he
wrote:
Says Investors Deceived
1--WE watched the use Of investors
money to make the investor believe
that the efforts Of government ia
protect him are designed to defraud
him.
Il have seen much Of the propa-
ganda prepared against such legisla-
ton ~ even down to mimeographed
sheets Of instructions for propaganda
to exploit the most far-fetched and
fallacious fears.
II have seen enough to be 6 I'M
impressed BY It Is was by the SIM
liar efforts to stir up the country
against the securities exchange bill
last spring"
Roosevelt insisted the legislation
will not destroy legitimate business
or wholesome and productive invest
ment.
1T will not destroy q penny Of ac-
tual value Of those operating compa-
mics which holding companies now
control and which holding company
securities represent, insofar as they
have any value.
Sets Five Year Limit
THE disappearance ct the end OF
five years Of those utility holding
companies which can not justify
themselves Is necessary for the func-
tioning Of the operating utility COM
panies Of the country Is IN objective
which congressional leaders have
consulted deem essential to q realistic
and far-sighted treatment Of the evils
Of public utility holding companies.
1T is time to make an effort to re-
verse that process Of the concen-
tration Of power which has made most
American citizens, once additionally
independent owners Of their own bust
nesses. helplessly dependent for their
daily bread upon the favor Of q very
few. who. by devices such Is holding
companies, have taken for themselves
