Washington, April 9.-His stand in voting to recommit the reorganiza- tion bill, taken with Rep. A. N. Phil lips, Jr., of Stamford, as one of two New England Democrats in favor of the recommittal, was explained to- day by Cong. J. Joseph Smith, of Waterbury. He said:
 "Recommittal of this bill allays any fear on the part of the people that extraordinary powers were to be granted the executive. In spite of the force of the contention that these fears were ill-founded, the unoueStioned and widespread exist ence of such fears was danger ous at this time, and recommittal of the bill puts an end to an un- healthy public state of inind."
 Planning to attend the birthday dinner of Gov. Wilbur L. Cross at Hartford and the meeting of Litch- field county Democrats later at Tor rington, Cong. Smith left the capital for Connecticut today. The d:nner for the Connecticut governor will be held tonight at the Hartford club.

MIR. Hearst's Letter to Mrs. Patterson

You can dissipate fear by words, but you can
not dissipate facts by words.
The fact of declining purchasing power is
obvious to everyone; and that fact is sound basis
for fear.
Mr. Roosevelt has sound ideas on how to dis
sipate the present depression. He made them the
basis of his prediction pledges, when discussing
the Hoover depression.
All he has got to do is carry out those pledges
reduce taxation; realize that this is an in
dustrial nation, whose prosperity is based on in
dustry; relieve industry of unnecessary burdens;
encourage the expansion of industry and the
consequent increase Of employment.
Increase individual income and the national
income in the only way they can be permanently
increased-by increasing occupation and produc-
tive employment-not by governmental largesse
When | was asked by Congress to give my
views on how to dispel the previous depression,
said: "Provide for the expenses of Government
by issuing notes rather than by increased taxa
tion because industry unburdened by taxation
would speedily revive, and increased business
would mean increased income for the Govern
ment without imposing added taxes"
GAS prosperity returned, the increased Gov
eminent income would make possible the retir-
ing of the notes." My ideas then seemed to be
entirely in accord with those of Mr.. Roosevelt
regarding the avoidance of burdensome taxation.
was earnestly supporting Mr.. Roosevelt then,
because l believed in his program of taxation
reduction.
l still believe in that same program of tax
reduction and economy in Government.
Sincerely yours,

sion which grows in its vicious spiral; because the
less the people buy, the fewer products are made,
the fewer workers are employed, the less wages
are paid, and the more purchasing power progress
sively decreases.
What is the remedy? The remedy is to do what
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was going to do-reduce
taxation.
The remedy lies in pursuing the policy which Mr.
Roosevelt said he was going to pursue-abandon
any plan which did not prove successful.
OvertaXation has not proved successful. It has
proved highly detrimental, as Mr. Roosevelt knew
it would, and said it would, when he was running
for President.
How can taxation be reduced, and still meet the
expenses of government?
Obviously by reducing the expenses of govern
ment
The Government is run on a basis of reckless
extravaganza. Any private business run on such
basis would 60 into bankruptcy-and any govern
ment run on such basis will go into bankruptcy.
The Macdonald government in the British en-
pire was within three months of bankruptcy
according to Mr.. Hore-Belisha, speaking at the
time of the crisis; but the coalition cabinet was
formed and the government put on business basis.
It would be much easier for this Government to
60 on business basis than for the British empire,
because we have more resources and because we
have not such shocking proportion of fixed arma-
ment expenses. But we have got to have the will
to do it, and the machinery to do it, and the per-
sonnet to do it.
The depression which we are going into is not
based merely on fear but on fact.
