private business and to States and
municipalities for construction work,
it was pointed out at the White
House, already is available and does
not mean outlay of new money by
the Government.
Nevertheless. the part the R. F. c.
is to play in the drive for recovery is
considered of importance by the
President, as he said in his message
to Congress.
The President declared that i'm
provement in Government and busi-
ness practices must 60 hand in hand
with recovery-that they should be
and will be a definite aid to recovery. u
Reform, therefore, is placed alongside
recovery and not in this message in
advance of it.
Business Aid Measures Listed.
The Chief Executive listed four
major measures of importance to busi-
ness which he had recommended since
January l, 1887. The crop control
bill, the law to plug serious loopholes
in the personal income tax laws-the
revenue bill, the wages and hours bill
and another revenue measure ito re-
move the inequities from the undistrib-
uted profits tax"
mo other measures" the Presi-
dent commented, affecting business
have been proposed" Two of these
measures have been enacted into law,
the crop control and legislation to
prevent tax avoidance The other
measures are still under considera-
ton" by Congress-" he said. The in
ference was, of course, that the Presi-
dent is still demanding them at the
hands of Congress.
The President referred to some i'm
provements in Government and busi.
ness which should be made, but which
he said he did not wish to over
emphasize in this message. The first
was the elimination of taX-exempt Sc
curitieS of all kinds, Federal and State
and municipal. The second was the
subJecting of all Government salaries
and wages, Federal and State, to Fed
eral and State income taxes. The
third was the solution of the railroad
problem, and the fourth a solution of
the problem of monopoly and price
fixing
Message Read in Both Houses.
Inc Presidents message was read
in both houses. The President did not.
as he has done sometimes in the past,
go to deliver the message in person to
a joint meeting of the House and
Senate
The first part of the message con-
tanned the Presidents explanation of
what happened to bring on the recess
sion in business last year, which is
still continuing. He said that "over-
production" was one cause, and that
"on small scale" it was what hap
pened in 1927, 1923 and 1929. A rise
IN prices unwarranted also took place.
The simple fact is," said the Presi-
dent, that the laying off of workers
came upon us last autumn and has
been continuing at such a pace ever
since that all of us, Government and
banking and business and workers,
and those faced with destitution, rec
ognize the need for action"
The President said that he believed
an overwhelming majority in both
houses OF Congress will agree with
MN that the Congress and the Chief
Executive "can ill-afford to weaken
or destroy great reforms which, dur
ing the past five years, have been ef-
fected on behalf of the American peo-

gram who have pointed to the huge
public debt, when he said In his mes
sage:
Let us unanimously recognize the
fact that the Federal debt, whether it
be s25 25.00O,0O00 or s40,0O0,O0O, 900,
can only be paid If the Nation obtains
vastly increased citizen income. I
repeat that if this citizen income can
be raised to 100000 100000 a year the
National Government and the over
whelming majority of State and local
governments will be out of the red
The higher the national income goes
the faster will We be able to reduce
the total of Federal and State and
local debts. Viewed from every angle.
today's purchasing power-the citi-
zens' income of today--is not sufficient
to drive the economic system at
higher speed. Responsibility of gov
ernment requires us at this time to
supplement the normal processes and
IN SO supplementing them to make
sure that the addition is ADEQUATE,
We must start again on a long steady
upward incline in national income"

BRITAIN STUDYING
LOANS TO CHINESE
May Recommend That
Banks Grant Government
Long, Term. Credits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1.-THE govern
ment ''has under consideration" rec
concentrations to British banks that
they grant long-term loans to the Chi
nese government, the House Of Com
mons was informed today.
DR.. Sun Fo, China's Ambassador at
Large. who came to Europe to seek
financial help for China in her war
against Japan, has been in London
the last two weeks urging British
loans.
Encouragement Considered.
D. j. Colville, financial secretary
to the treasury. told Commons that
II British banks approached the gov
ernment for permission to lend to
China such requests would be
"sympathetically considered"
He added that the chancellory of
the eXchequer was considering action
to encourage" the granting of loans.
Financial aid to China was recon-
mended by resolution of the League
OF Nations Assembly October S, 1887.

have been worried by the success of
authoritarian European states like
Germany and italy, reflected Parlia-
ment's approval of the experiment in
modified concentration of authority in
France.
The press, as well as the man in the
street, gave the humbly born Daladier,
who took the premiership only when
he saw his national defense program
endangered, a good chance to pull
France out of the social and economic
troubles which have been aggravated
by more than two years of strife be-
tween the Chamber of Deputies and
the Senate.
The strength of the Daladier gov
ernment led to the report the Premier
and his foreign minister, Georges
Bonnet. would go to London late this
month for conference on diplomatic
and military ties between the two
countries.
British Prime Minister Chamberlain
was said to have been waiting only
for the end of Frances series of in
ternal political upheavals before
starting talks intended to bring France
into the Anglo-Italian friendship pact
to be signed soon.
The report also was current that
France and Italy were to negotiate a
commercial agreement, with France
recognizing the Ethiopian conquest by
accrediting an Ambassador To the
King of Italy as Emperor.

pile" The immediate task, he said,
after enumerating these gains, is to
consolidate and maintain those gains
Our situation" said the President,
"is vastly different from that which
We faced five years ago. Let us use
the tools already forged and laid out
on the bench"
The President mentioned as a goal
for this or next year an increase of
national income to S80,000.000 900
National income. he said. was $685.
0O0,O0O.0 900 in 1882, had increased in
1887 to s68,00o,O 100000. but is now
running at a rate of $4,000, 900 900.
He hoped. he said. that ultimately
the national income could reach
100000 100000.
Administration leaders expressed
confidence, meanwhile, they could put
through the Presidents program.
Despite growing opposition, the
leaders said the program received
the support of several congressman
at White House conference late yes
terday.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley of
Kentucky. after hearing Mr. Roose-
velts projected message to Congress
discussed at the meeting, commented: !:
Il don't think We'll have much
trouble enacting the program"
The President will follow his mes
sage with a "fireside chat" tonight,
in which informed persons said he
would explain to the Nation the ma
ture and reasons for his proposals.
The broadcast was scheduled for 1890
pm. over the major radio chains.
The first phase of the recovery pro-
gram, making millions available to
business men heretofore unable to get
loans from banks, became operative
late yesterday when the President
signed a measure relaxing restrictions
on lending by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
The Public Works Administration,
long dormant, has arranged to start
one phase of the new spending pro-
gram at once. Officials said schools
in about 10 States would be construct
ed with funds returned to the Treasury
by States or cities which had with
drawn applications for projects.
There were indications that Congress
would begin work promptly on other
portions of the recovery program. The
fact that this Is an election year for
every member of the House and third
of the Senators and that talk of ad-
journment by May Is is in the air
left no doubt that little time would be
lost.
The Government, Congress and the
Chief Executive has the capacity to
raise the economic level, acting in
conjunction with all groups of citizens,
the President insisted.
Asks Help Of Business.
Business must help" he said. IT
am sure business will help" And he
added. I am determined to do my
share
Discussing the administrations pro-
gram to make additional bank re-
sources available for the credit needs
Of the country, the President said
this could be done without legislation,
and would be done through desterili-
zation Of gold supplies and through
the reduction of reserve requirements
OF the Federal Reserve Board.
Sterilized gold is metal which. the
Treasury has held inactive, by bor-
rowing to meet the purchase cost.
When this gold is put into circulation
by issuing gold certificates to the
banks, bank resources will be in
creased.
The President replied, apparently,
to critics of the pump-priminp pro-

members Of Parliament that China
was confident Of defeating Japan.
Minority Exchange Opposed.
Prime Minister Chamberlain gave a
nat mo, sir" snswer in Commons to
the suggestion of Geoffrey Mander,
opposition Liberal, that Britain per-
suade Germany and Czechoslovakia to
swap minorities.
The question was whether the Pre-
mnier would propose with a view to
European appeasement that an ex-
change Of populations take place be-
tween Germany and Czechoslovakia,
those Sudeten Germans who desired
to be under German rule leaving
Czechoslovakia and those Germans
who desired to leave Germany to be
permitted to enter Czechoslovakia.
