JACKSON, W|LLK|E
DEBATE POLICIES
Attention Focused Anew on
Attitude of Government
Toward Business.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. THE issue OF
conciliatory cooperation or open war
fare between big business" and Gov
ernment was out in the open again
today in the wake Of speeches by New
Dealer Robert H. Jackson and In
dustrialist Wendell L. Willkie.
Said Mr.. jackson, Assistant Attorney
General: There Is, to my mind, an
essential first step Coward recovery
That Is for big business deliberately
and speedily to go to a policy of high
volume production, low price and the
highest wage scale possible"
Said Mr.. Willkie, president OF the
Commonwealth 81 Southern Utilities
Corp: The real cure consists in con-
vincing the millions Of small investors
throughout America that the Govern
ment does not intend ito continue its
attack on American industry, big or
little, for it is these investors upon
whom industry depends for funds
These divergent views, expressed
last night before a visual and q ma
tional radio audience at America 8
Town Meeting of the Air" focused at
tention anew on Washington's policies
toward business and industry.
Accused Big Business.
1t was Mr.. Jackson who thrust the
issue to the fore some time ago with
q speech in which he accused big
business OF fostering general strike"
against Government Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes followed that speech
with another along the same line, but
there came lull in the turmoil this
week with President Roosevelts S mes
sage to Congress, which was generally
regarded as conciliatory in tone.
Mr.. Roosevelt had invited business
and finance ito cure such inequalities
as they can cure without legislation
but to join their Government in the
enactment of legislation where the
ending Of abuses and the steady func-
tioning Of our economic system calls
Tor Government assistance"
This attitude was seconded by Mr..
Willkie last night.
Il suggest" he said, that we have
now reached the time when We should
stop discussing who caused the de-
preston and should direct our atten-
ton to how to cure it
Favors Conference.
Business and Government, he con-
tinued, should put an end to the
bitterness of recent years and sit down
IN conference like reasonable men with
mutual tolerance and respect .
not only to plan intelligently for the
future but also to review those laws
which have been passed to see whether
they cannot be so modified as to stimu-
late business activity without remov-
ing any Of the appropriate social
controls
Mr.. jackson repeated his previous
charge that "it is chiefly big business
that is at war on many fronts with
Government" called such opposition
AS short-sighted as suicide" and
added that people expect business Ito
furnish steady jobs for all who want
to work"
But If industry will not provide
this" he said, the people are deter
mined to provide it themselves through
their Government"
At another point he said that. un-
less private enterprise can keep the
circle OF goods and wages moving, then
the Government directly and brazenly
must NIL the gap in employment on
one hand and the needs for goods on
the other"
