Business at White House

EIFTY members of the business
advisory council of the Depart
ment of Commerce, all of them
leaders of the nations business and
industry, went to the White House
for a long conference with the
President, and told him what they
believed to be responsible for the
current recession" Then they
promised to cooperate with him in
combating the slump on condition
that he made clear the course he
intends to follow.
The business men specified that
necessities to aid in the struggle
were limitation to wage-hour legis-
lation, a truce with public utilities,
no general purge or holding COM
panies and no further tinkering with
the currency.
To these suggestions Mr.. Roose-
welt gave his approval. Others were
heard by him without comment.
w. Averill, the councils chair
man, issued statement which en-
braced the views of his colleagues
and which was read to Mr.. Roose-
welt.
The statement said re-ernploy-
ment in private industry is the criti-
cal problem now before the country.
eve wish to record with you our
faith in the efficacy of the prin-
ciples of democracy, and yet our
grave concern over the possible far
reaching effects of our present sit
uation," the statement concluded.
Tolerance and understanding must
be used by all sections and interests
in the country"
At the conclusion of the confer
ence the President announced that
he will seek the formulation of a
definite policy, designed to end the
depression and create a framework
for steady functioning of a nations
economic life through the appoint
ment of group representative of
all the interests within the country.
The group would consist of as
many as twenty-five or as few as
five or six persons, who would be
charged with the task of sitting over
all proposals to aid business and un-
snarling all conflicts existing among
the various interests with a view
toward perfecting an administrative
and legislative policy for business.

There is no question in the minds

steps would restore confidence:
l. Repeal of the undivided profits
tax.
2. A sharp modification in the
amount of capital gains tax.

lot of speech making, and external
enemies, especially Japan, were de-

Dictator Josef Stain, through the
central committee, ordered an end
to the mass expulsion of Communist
party members, which has usually
been followed by death, Punishment
or loss of jobs.
Pravda, the Communist party
newspaper, indicated satisfaction
with the results of the purge, but
assailed "rotten leaders" who
played into the enemy's hands. "Un-

what was called recession" last
fall. That legislation is approach
ing conclusion now and will soon 60
to the President for his signature.
So let us take look at it's princi-
pal features and find what they
mean.
The heart of the legislation was
a provision to permit the construc-
ton or the purchase of small homes
without much money as a down
payment. In fact, only 10 per cent
of the total cost of the property is
required as a down payment. Pri-
vate money lenders will finance the
other 80 per cent, and the federal
housing administration will insure
that amount with government bonds
to back the insura nce. So, it is soon
to be provided that I can buy a
house with a value up to $4,000 if /
have $500 to pay down. Anybody
can get himself into deep debt with
as much ease as the man on the
flying trapeze, and instead of obi
eating himself for Is months las in
the case of the automobile) the buy
er is hooked for about Is years. It
is definitely unsound and will make
not the slightest bit of improvement
in general business.
Stewart Macdonald, the federal
housing administrator, ought to be a
good witness on the soundness of the
plan. When hearings were being
held in the house appropriations
committee, Mr.. Macdonald was
asked about the idea of government
insurance of as much as 80 per cent
of debt.
"Do you think that that is good
business-to have a man build a
home without any more equity than
10 per cent?" asked Representative
Houston, Kansas Democrat.
ST don't think it is good business;
no." replied Mr.. Macdonald.

Neither the search by sea or air
produced any trace of the seven

ed craft from the harbor and
headed south on the 1,806-mile,
last lap of Pan Americans new
route from the United States to
New Zealand
It was 38 minutes later, at 6:08
am, when Capt. Musick reported
that one of the motors had de-
veloped an oil leak and he was
heading back to Pago Pago.
Then, for almost two hours, moth
ing more was heard of the plane.
l. was 1855 am. when the clipper
passed over Apia, on the island OF
Upolu.
After passing Apia at 7:55 on
the return trip, Capt. Musick re-
ported by radio at 1927 that he
was dumping his excess cargo of
gasoline for a landing in Pago Pago,
and expected to arrive there in
few minutes.
That was the last ever heard
from the plane.
Pan American officials believe
that the gasoline caught fire while
being dumped, and caused the ex-
plosion. That was the theory of
j. T. Trippe. president of the air
line. He said the dumping of fuel
before a landing was "a conserva-
tive and normal practice" Trippe
