The committee held that regional
planning was essential to orderly de-
velopment because it would be a
long time problem and the plan
would have to change to suit chang

Against Forced Development
The committee report added that

More than once President Rose

there once again. In the first five
minutes of his speech he suggest

that perhaps their bosses were too

He said this:
