nations of the world.
On December conference Of
great potential significance will con-
vene In Buenos Aires. This meeting
seeks a solidarity among the coun-
tries OF the Western Hemisphere for
understanding and peace. 1t is des-
tined to be a notable example, also
for the rest of the world. The spirit
behind this conference can best be
termed good neighborliness." When
faith in our country and good neigh
bor faith. in each other are combined
throughout the world with co-opera-
tive efforts to live and let live, then
our Nation and all other people will
have a happier and safer life. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is carrying out this
sentiment for the American people.
We desire peace and no war, hence.
equitable and just trade relations If
our civilization is not to be buried
beneath the debris of another inter-
national conflagration, there must be
an ever-increasing attempt to incul-
cate among the peoples of the world
mutual trust and understanding of
one another's problems. Business can
contribute to this end by carefully
surveying and studying in connection
with their international trade pro-
grams the political conditions and
social requirements of the nations
with which they would trade. The
Department of Commerce stands
ready to study these problems with
business and thereby safeguard sound
business relationships. At the same
time our own Nation will be guided
wisely in its just and proper rela-
tionships with other people. There
fore, when a business man or group
of business men desire to open up
trade relations with another country,
we shall welcome them to the de-
partment. give them the benefit Of
the guidance of experts with knowl-
edge of the country they desire to ap-
proach, and thus prepare such indi-
vidual or individuals to approach other
nations with knowledge of the con-
ditions with which they will be con-
fronted. In this way We shall be
able to progress under broader studies
and clearer understanding Of oppor-
tunities and obstacles.

4. Business and industry should give
necessary and proper consideration to
the human as well as the mechanical
factor in their operations. They must
assume their social as well as their
financial responsibilities. Continuous
and intensive study should be given
to the effect Of modern and complex
civilization upon the cultural devel-
opment and health Of our people.
S. There should be a careful taxa
ton study covering national, State
and local taxes with a view to a more
equitable distribution of the tax bur-
den and a more scientific revenue
basis in keeping with changed condi-
tions.
6. Proper and necessary regulatory
measures should be established to pre-
vent our competitive system from de-
stroying itself through disastrous and
unfair practices. while assuring maxi
mum effectiveness to sound competi-
tive practices.

of the factors for study and guidance
as personally see them for a more

2. Increasing employment, Expand

3. Group controls by business,

and physically to enjoy that system
10 the fullest extent? Our human
resources are even more basic than
our natural, material and financial
resources. All about us we see an
increase, for example, in mental dis
eases. In many States the facilities
are inadequate to care for this grow
ing problem. This is surely symp-
tom and a warning that we cannot
disregard. AS we are now entering
another period of material prosperity
and well-being. there will be tend
ency to disregard the warnings that
tell us to give greater attention to
causes that lead to human disintegra-
ton. Public health programs must
be more effectively applied during the
next decade. Such programs must
include the study Of causes in order
to arrive at proper remedies. HUI

a peoples environment changes rap
idly, concrete steps must be initiated
to keep them in harmony with the
environment. Otherwise economic
and material progress carries no last
ing rewards whatever.
1t is vitality important that busi-
ness, without losing sight of its imme-
diate economic objectives, should
endeavor to catch this broader spirit
behind the shaping of national poll
cies and direct its activities in har-
mony with the general pattern of the
desires and interests Of the people.
Business is at the threshold of its
greatest opportunity. Since the
World War there has been tendency
on the part of an increasing number
of people to consider business as
group separate and apart from the
rest of the population. At times even
some of those in business have appar-
emily had the same idea. The devel-
opment of this attitude has led to
many unnecessary misunderstanding

ments Of industry which should bring
them into common thinking on fun
damental problems for industry. We
must go further and recognize that
this golden thread of interest under
our modern structure leads out into
fields of agriculture, finance. labor
and society generally. There should
be sufficient regulation to prevent
competition from destroying itself
without impeding fair and legitimate
competition. If business is motivated
and guided by these objectives it
will move forward without interfer-
ence This is my Interpretation of
the goals and objectives of the Roose-
welt administration.
Business must be alert in the
future to the problems encountered in
the keen competitive domestic and
international trade Immediately ahead
of us. We must research to develop
the facts for guidance In these rela-
tionships, for reducing trade barriers
and for cultivating good will. The

and an isolation rather than COOP
Grafton of interests.
It is my desire as Secretary OF
Commerce to cooperate with business
in a study of those methods that will
avoid group control or stratif1cation
in society. BY the stratification Of
society I mean so grouping our
people that they will contend for
group controls rather than co-opera-
tive controls, thus undermining that
mutuality of interests that is so nee
essary to democratic progress. We
have contended against group control
in the form of financial domination
and manipulation. This is proper.
But let us not exchange the disad-
vantage of one control for the disad-
vantages of any other control in
single unit. Let us remember from
our experience in the recent past
that the real solution of our problems
requires national and not local treat
ment. There is golden thread of

to take back their normal OBJ
legations as they were anxious to be
relieved of them The Federal Gov
ernment is now giving proper study
to the problem Of governmental re-
organization. This study should look
to the elimination of agencies while
preserving necessary public service
under a simplifled procedure and at
the least possible expense. Moreover,
we need broader educational efforts in
training men and women for definite
lines Of public service. This program,
along with decreasing unemployment
needs, expanding business activity and
increasing governmental receipts. will
hasten the balancing of the budget
without tax rate increases.
In the field of taxation there Is
urgent need for a taxation study that
will include local. State and national
fields. 1t is necessary that we pro-
vide for continuing analysis of tax
legislation and administrative proce-
dure in the interests of equity and
of justice to all concerned and look

Our country economically cannot

makes it Of fundamental importance
to give continuous and intensive study
concerning the effect of modern COM

we should deal adequately with OBJ

We must also be concerned with sub
