I'M Offering President Roosevelt
conditional cooperation in his re,
cayery drive, last night charged
that New Deal spcnding-lendlng-
credit policies are heading the ma
ton into disaster.
Chairman of the Chase National
bank, Aldrich told delegates to an
international chamber of com
merce meeting that the admins
tration's program Of increasing
federal spending to keep aggre-
gate consumer purchasing power
in pace with aggregate production
is economically unsound and So
cialistic.
*By following this course, we
are risking our national solvency,
the credit of the government and
the future of the currency, he
said. eve are facing, therefore,
the gravest economic, financial
ard social convulsions if it turns
out that the theory is wrong"
He said he is entirely sympa-
thetic" with the detectives of
many New Deal reforms, but
warned that this administration
hes gone too far and has used u.
chosen methods. The pace has
been too fast, he added, and the
time has come for a pause.
81 think that nothing is more
needed at the present time than q
prolonged period of quiet, not d
three to six months breathing
spell, but a two or three years
breathing spell, during which botf
government and business can con
solidate, modify and assimilate
what has already been done, and
during which also it will be posi-
BILE to study the basis of further
REFORM" he said.
AS Aldrich blasted away at the
presidents new $5,000,0O0,OO(
spending-lending program, it was
whole endorsed before
a congressional committee by May
or Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New
York, and by President William

of the Committee for Industrial
Organization. House leaders indi
