SLOAN CHARGES
NEW DEAL PUT
OFF RECOVERY

NEW YORK, March 80. UP)-
President Alfred p. Sloan, Jr., of
General Motors Corporation charged
today, in his annual report to stock
holders, that the New Deal has def
initely postponed recovery"
General Motors sales and earn
ings last year were the highest since
1929, he reported, and net profits
exceeded those of 1884 by 76.46 per
cent.
The corporation payroll increased
22.7 per cent over 1884. The aver
age increase Of the hourly wage rate
was five per cent.
Policies of the Roosevelt admin
istration that have disturbed normal
economic processes and increased
government expenditures will cause
not only increased taxes, Sloan said,
but reduced production through ne
cessitating higher prices and de-
creased consumption.
