dent Roosevelt today asked indus
try to give fair share of jobs to
older workers and unskilled labor

which many of the largest indus

NATIONAL AFFAIRS


1t was a week of speculation in
Washington, a week of conjecture
as to the course of Franklin d.
Rooseyelt's second four years in the
Presidency.
fiat the President, himself, had
reached no definite and complete
program for the coming session Of
Congress was apparent. At a White
House press conference, he caution
ed newspapermen against going
out on limb" in writing of Adj
ministration plans.
The budget was principal item
in the Presidents week. He dis
cussed the departmental needs with
Daniel w. Bell, Acting Director Of
rector of the Budget. From all in
dications, the budget message in
January at the opening of Congress
will not contain any estimate of re-
lief needs. Instead, the President
will probably follow last years prac-
tice, sending the budget estimate
ON relief to Congress in March,
allowing a better opportunity to
Judge the need.
The President reiterated his pur-
pose. announced during the CAM
paign, not to seek any new taxes.
Aside from the budget, there were
studies, conferences and surveys
pertaining to other fields of gov
eminent activity all of which as
sured the President plenty of work
and consideration on his forthcom-
ing vacation cruise.
These would be classified as fol-
lows:
Industry and Business-It was evil
dent that industrial Sterilization
occupies the attention of the New
Deal Administration.
Major George L. Berry. the labor
leader who is the Presidents CO.
ordinator for industrial cooperation
invited representatives of industry
and labor to a Washington confer
ence on December 10 and H. This
conference will undoubtedly find be-
fore it such topics as child labor
maximum hours and minimum wa
ges, fair trade practices, and gov
eminent competition with private
industry
On such a basis was the MIRA
built; but its unconStitutionality
now presents new considerations to
the New Deal. if it is considering a
revival Of legislation envisioning
regulation in these fields. And the
element of constitutionality enters
not only in this field of endeavor
but is found in every field of CAPT
tai discussion.
Major Berry, it seemed probable
would have more success in obtain.
ing representation Of business mer
and industrialists than he has hat
in the past, condition attributable
to the Roosevelt sweep in the cleo
tions.
In the industrial field. as well a.
in others, there enters also the pos
sibility of a constitutional amend
ment.
The National Conference on La
Dor legislation, called by Secretar.
of Labor Frances Perkins, gave it
endorsement to. such an amend
ment to permit effective Fedora
and State wage regulation
The conference likewise endorses
the eight-hour day and forty-hou
Iweek as the maximum.

Assistant Labor Secretary Ed

that "unAmerican and arbitrary at

also found relief officials prepar-

said he was hopeful because the
two sides finally met even though
no progress was made He said he
would reframe the proposals.

! Wyoming, is advocating the enact
ment of some of the principles OF
NRA through Federal incorpora-
ton measure, which would require
a Federal license of corporations
engaged in interstate trade. Such
corporations would be required tc
carry out these principles.
Agriculture = Following develop
ments in the campaign, the Presi-
dent expressed hope for passage of
farm tenancy measure in the COM
ing Congress, providing Federal aid
to tenants for the purchase of
farms.
Crop insurance likewise seemed
probable of enactment in the COM
ing session. perhaps on an optional
basis. The Administration plan
was being developed slowly and
carefully in consultation with agri-
culturists and private insurance rep
resentatives.
The question of crop control was
also present, but here again the
Administration was proceeding eau
tiously, determining the sentiment
of farm leaders, remembering the
invalidated AAA.
Reorganization-Th President s
Committee on Administrative Man.
agement was given the task of
studying the reorganization of the
Federal government, with simpli-
fication and econmy as the two ba-
sis objectives. *
There was no news from the
White House as to whether such
reorganization would have a place
in the Presidents program for Con-
gress, but this is not at all UNI
likely, Not only the Presidents
committee, but committees from
the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, were at work on reor-
ganization plans.
Miscellaneous-Rev of the
1886 tax bill, with it's levy on the
undistributed profits Of corpora
tions, and revision of the Social
| Security Act. seemed likely in the
coming session.
Senator Robert f. Wagner's Hous-
ing measure and the revised Coal
Sterilization bill of Senator Joseph
Guffey will also come up in the new
Congress, in all probability.
There was little doubt, further
more, but that the President would
ask for extension Of the Reciprocal
Tariff law, which expires in 1887

The end of the war, the war to

This week, just eighteen years af-
