 He criticized opponents of the ad- ministration, asserting that they had not yet advanced a "construc- tive plan" Speaking of the recent address of Col. Frank Knox, Senator Daly said: "He might well have turned the editorial blue pencil upon himself. He surely knows his tory well enough to see that his own planless plan would leave America today only two alternatives 7. the let them eat cake philosophy ,. or the opposite extreme, when the dole was the order of the day and the citizenry of Rome lived upon 8 diet of bread and circuses."
 Answering a question about edu- cational projects such as Mattatuck Community college, the speaker said: T think if I can exercise my opinion, the projects will become a reality within few days" They have not yet been transferred to the WPA.

This might stretch the session of congress- into August or beyond.
 Causing conjecture and acute diff ferences of opinions were some of the following mentioned, if passed might help the situation: An at tempt to get the states to pass sup elementary laws applying the prin- ciples to intra-state business; an eff fort to amend the constitution to make the MIRA principles legal; an attempt to obtain legislation enforc- ing some of the MIRA principles by means of governments taxing pow CT; an invitation to industry to join in voluntary agreements with the government to observe certain prac- tices; and a move to get congress to grant the temporary authority to President Roosevelt to govern indus
