Association Has Voted to COnciIiate Govt in Fu-
 ture Policies

New York, Dec. g. CUP)-Anthony Eden. former British foreign Secre- tary, will address the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers tonight immediately after his arrival on the Liner Aquitania.
 A launch will meet the ship at quarantine station at 6:30 p. m. and speed him ashore. At the Waldorf Astoria hotel ballroom, 4,00O per- sons will await his message to Amer ican industry which will be broad cast on all networks at 10:15 p. m. Most of them will be members of the Manufacturers Association, the largest organized employing group m the world.
 ThreefOld Purpose
 The Spech was the principal oc- casion for Eden's visit. His mission was unofficial but it was regarded as having a threefold purpose: CD allaying American sentiment against Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain caused by the Munich pact; CD sounding out sentiment on the pos sibility of the United States particl- pating in an Anglo-French loan to China; (3) getting assurance that President Roosevelt's Pan-American defense policy will not harm British interests in Latin America.
 Edens speech was to inject an in- ternational tone into the manufac- turers' annual congress of American industry, which plotted the course for American business in 1859 with the adoption of the resolutions com- mittee's annual report yesterday.
 ConciIiate Government
 The program binds the 5000 members to a more conciliatory re- lationship with the government dur ing the next year. A group prefer ring to cooperate with the govern ment had about a 10 per cent maj ority on the committee over those who wanted a platform similar to last years, which demanded that government and labor cease inter fering with business.
 As result, the report was com promise. Instead of telling govern- ment and labor to "unshackle' n- dustry, as was done last year, it approved the system of work, say ing, invention, investment and wholesome competition" Instead Of demanding the abolition of many government regulatory bodies, which the "old guard suggested, the re- port merely recommended that the securities and exchange acts be moderated without impairment of their essential regulatory functions" |"
 Report as Adopted
 Some members wanted to again denounce the Wagner Labor Rela- tions Act as the cause of industrial strife and recommend its amend ment, but the report as adopted said:
 "Industrial management recog- niyes that employees who wish to bargain collectively are entitled to do so, in whatever form they deter mine. through their own freely chosen representatives, and without intimidation or restraint from any source. The disturbed labor relat tions which have existed during the past few years are d major obstacle to recovery. Industry pledges its full cooperation in whatever changes may be necessary to correct these conditions" .s
 - There were no demands for modifi- cations of specific taxes, the report urged only that non-partisan com. mittee be appointed to study the tax situation and make recommenda- tionS.
 Some members wanted to denounce Communists, some, Fascists. The re- port merely defended political rights and religious freedom"
