Certain minority groups are in
evitably going to ask for passage Of
legislation affecting industry in the
coming Congress and in others to fol-
low. A sound and representative body
here in Washington set up as a liaison
between industry and Government
could serve in an advisory capacity to
prevent passage Of any poorly pre-
pared laws, as well as to work for
passage of whatever beneficial legis-
lation industry may need.
Our system of government is so

are signs Of that fact. But that does
not mean that the unemployed are
going back to work, or that the men
already at work are receiving higher
wages, or that those who own business
enterprises or stocks are receiving full
profits or dividends.
There are many different sorts Of
recovery. One is sound recovery,
when there is enough work for all and
employment, wages, purchasing power
and profits can become stabilized and
certain. The other, where conditions
improve, but unemployment remains
static, is only temporary and means
there is danger ahead. The industrial
council will have not only representa-
tion of industry management. labor
snd consumer spokesmen who are out
standing in the field Of consumer
problems. 1t will have the benefit of
thousands of letters which have
poured into my office in recent weeks
from every corner Of the Nation and
from every type of citizen. Most Of
my correspondents feel that something
must be done to eliminate the many
evils attendant upon business opera
tions. They agree that If cut-throat
standards of competition are permitted
to continue the business scene can
only remain battle-ground. with only
the largest and most concentrated in
terests surviving.
"Let me give you a few brief ex-
cerpts from some of the letters which
came to me in connection with this
industry conference. A stove manu-
facturer in Massachusetts, says: In

itself, as a continuance of cutthroat

as working hours, wages and the need
of employment. being identical to
those laid before this conference by
labor's representatives.
II do not infer that N. o. r. A. or
any code structure or similar legiSla-
tion is the answer agreed upon or to
be put forward by industry and labor
at the end of this present conference
I do say, and with considerable en-
phasis, that a majority of those who
have come here, regardless of which
side of the industrial structure they
represent, are willing to admit that
many problems await solution, that
industry's goal is not too clearly out
lined and that there is a great need
in this country today for clear think
ing on the questions of unemploy-
ment, business taxation, public debt
and a balanced budget.

needs, both for the present and the
future.
Prom all sides there are attacks
against the Federal Government for
its outlay of funds to provide for the
unemployed. But what would indus
try do? There is no way to stop this
expenditure unless industry is pre-
pared in some other way to take care
of nearly eleven millions Of jobless
and another eleven million Of their
dependents. I have Official statistics
which show that during the first 10
months Of 1885 production increased

not fair in assuming that if industry
! has some program to end this in
tolerable situation, it should wait no
longer to put it into effect?
This seems to me to be industry's
most challenging problem. There ap-
pear only two alternatives. Either
industry must find jobs for these mil
lions, or submit to taxation to provide
funds from which they may be fed
We, Industry and the Government
might say we have gone far enough
We might ask these % millions OF
human folk to find comfortable places
and lie down and starve to death
But that is not Americas way. II
we we're to ask it, hardly think they
would agree. am inclined to think
the Government would be happy to
have industry take over completely
the unemployment situation If in
dustry could guarantee in some way
that 1t would meet its requirements.
Industry has not up to the present
shown itself capable alone to shoulder
that job. That is one reason why ]
called this conference. That is why
know that by cooperation only will
we be able to accomplish this task.
There is so much wealth in this coun-
try. The banks today have tremen-
dous deposits, much Of the funds lying
idle. We have much Of the entire
worlds supply Of gold. Our engineers,
our chemists, our teachers, our busi-
ness leaders are the most advanced
of the whole world. Yet we have IL
millions Of unemployed.
Importance of Work.
"There is the waste. Tor we must
feed these men and women. That is
why taxes are high, and are increas-

at the same time decreasing our taxes.

Text of Maj. Berry's Speech

TINE text of the speech of Maj
George L. Berry, co-ordinatoT
for industrial cooperation, de-
livered last night in the Ma
Honal Radio Forum, follows:
''It is a pleasure to be able to speak
10 the American people this evening
after witnessing hIid participating Nl
the momentouS events which were a
part of the industry conference which
opened in Washington today. 1t was
with a great deal of satisfaction that
we arrived at the first phase of that
endeavor, the assembling here of some
5000 business men, representing in
duStry investment, management and
labor, who came in response to a
simple invitation sent out from the
co-ordinator's Office asking them to
come to the seat of government and
talk things over in order that the
Government might be fully advised of
industry's greatest problems and have
the viewpoints of all elements vitally
concerned in industrial progress as to
the best methods of cooperative effort
with which to approach these
problems.
II believe all you who are listening
will agree with me without the slight
est hesitancy that the present and
future objectiveS of industrial and
national progress should include
greater profits for business, increased
production and purchasing power and
q higher standard of living for all our
people.
"a difference of viewpoints as to the
methods by which we may arrive at
those objectives has brought about a
virtual state of war between some
business men and their Government.
The newspapers every day bring fresh
evidence of the drawing up of rigid
battle lines Men who are mad at
each other cannot be expected to con-
tribute much toward solution Of
their real and honest differences.
II am not mad at anybody in all
the world. have faith in my Gov
ernment, and I have knowledge based
on personal experience Of the difficult
ties which harass business men, labor
and farm people. I hold that the
solution lies in cooperation. 1t is my
hope that the conferences which began
today may arrive at concerted decla-
ration by all the vital elements of
American industry in reaffirmation Of
faith in the American system, under
which competition. based on individual
effort and individual reward. has
brought this country to leadership
among the great industrial nations Of
the world.
IF we agree on firm declaration
Of national industrial policy the next
step is to agree that Government, in
vestors, business management and Ia
Dor leaders must join forces to
effectuate this policy. We must not
let our judgment be clouded by the
improved business conditions of the
moment, but we must take advantage
of this hettered opportunity to make a
national investment to insure the
future.
Value of Teamwork.
"My purposes in calling this con-
ference have been understated, over
