Preservation Of Enterprise
ImneratiYe of Americans

At no time in our history has the
need been greater to conserve all OF
our resourceS-human and material
And so the preservation of our sys-
tenn of free enterprise is no longer
simply the American dream; it is
the American imperative. 1t is i'm
perative that freedom of oppor-
tunity be maintained for all who
can contribute to our national we'll
being. 1t is imperative that the
responsibilities, and the benefits
as well, of our industrial system
be broadly shared. so that the
success of the system will enlist
the loyalty, the energies and the
capacities of free and united
people.
1t is clear to me that returning
increase in production cannot be
accomplished without substantial
increase in private investment. I
have tried to indicate tonight that
the Government is desirous of doing
everything it can to create an en-
vironment in which private invest
ment is encouraged.
If there had been the time I
could have indicated fields other
than utilities-such as private hous-
ing and ailroads-which offer SUBJ
stantial opportunities for the use of
capital goods. I say it is our desire
to create an environment in which
private capital will be encouraged
to invest. I further state that I
am convinced that this environment
can become a reality without COM
promising the great reforms which
stand as the hall-marks of this ad-
ninistration's enlightened program.

Thoroughly BAD - and they are
anxious to see eye-to-eye with the
Government on permanent policy
There has been no indication that
Government wishes to own and op-
crate all the utilities of this coun-
try. Rather do see the Government
determined to write rules adequately
protecting all the people-to help
make cheap electricity available to
every one and to ban unholy profits
from watered stock. In making the
T. V. A. peace, the Government
demonstrated its good will by set
ting on generous terms. 1t struck
peace that will be lasting and
good peace, because it is a generous
peace.
Also of primary importance to
business is the labor problem. I
want to make it perfectly clear that
I believe in labor unions. believe
they are the best protection against
the unfair treatment of labor. l
believe that collective bargaining
establishes conditions of work on a
more decent basis than does indi-
vidual bargaining.
Urges Labor to Embrace
Tolerance and Fairness.
Many problems of industrial rela-
tions are yet to be solved, but the
advances made in recent years have
given us the fundamental principles
ON which to work. 1t now remains
to put these principles into action.
Business should accept in good faith
the approach and the machinery of
collective bargaining. Labor on it's
own side faces responsibilities and
obligations. The Government has
strengthened labors position with
new laws, not only as TO wages and
hours, but also to guarantee collec-
tive bargaining Labors contribution
to rising national income must be
tolerance and fairness in reaching
Just agreements with employers. La
Dor must fully ISaliZe that under our
economic system business men have
to make money to hire workers.
1t is up to employers and employees
alike to make collective bargaining
work, and that means extending
every effort toward peaceful settle
ment of controversies. Both business
and labor want to move toward pros
perity, but nothing can stop this
more surely than widespread and
prolonged labor conflict. Prosperity
means production. and production
stops during either strikes or lock-
outs.
I do not share the view of those
who believe that it is to industry S
| benefit to keep the labor movement
divided. I feel it is quite as much
to the interest of business and in
dustry as it is to the workers them
| selves, that those two great labor
organizations, the A. F. of L. and
the G. I. O., reconcile their differ
ences. Surely there is a common
meeting place for these two groups
to move forward as one in the in
terest, not only of their own men,
bership, but for the general good
of our whole population. Even with
the best of good will toward COL
lective bargaining. business finds
it difficult to progress in face of
a divided labor front.
I should not leave the subject of
labor without commenting upon
! the new outlook of the business
men with whom I have talked on
the question of labor relations. For
the most part they are looking at
wages, hours and bargaining in the
spirit of today rather than in the
spirit of a generation ago.

Business Long Insensitive
To Problems of Farmers.


To Problems of Farmers.
For many decades, business, as
whole, has been insensitive and
unSvmpathetic to the problems and
| aspirations of the farmer. In spite
of the distressed condition of ag-
riculture in the tWenties, the con-
| tribution of business and Govern
ment was negligible. Since 1888
there has been much sincere effort
with business cooperation to tackle
the problems of the farmer No
simple or final solution has been
found, and we must recognize that,
although there has been great i'm
provement in the relative position
Of agriculture since 1882. neverthe-
less, people living in many sections
of rural America are less we'll off
than people living in cities and
towns.
The prosperity of agriculture is
more important than just the mat
ter of products and markets. The
increase in our populat ton is now
coming largely from the Nations
farms Our farm homes receive
less than 10 per cent of the ma
tional income, and on that they
must bring up about 30 per cent of
the Nations children. Here is the
most important crop raised on the
farm. What it will amount to de-
pends in part upon the economic
resources available to the homes
in which these children live.
My experience has convinced me
that -there can be no solution to
our problem of unemployment in
the cities until the farmer regains
his proper economic position in re-
lation to the rest of the Nations
population.
There is one form of Government
aid to business to which I take par
ticular exception, I have had some
experience with special interest
groups seeking to obtain Govern
ment favor by the application of
pressure, brute or delicate. This is
an inevitable characteristic of a
democracy, but the fact remains
that Government action can only
be justified when it is in the gen.
eral public interest. The Govern
ment should not be asked to lend
its powers to the promotion of leg
islation designed by one group of
businessmen seeking to profit at the
expense of another group. Legisla-
tion should be confined to protect
ing certain types of business from
the unfair practices of others. The
competitive battles of business
should be waged in the market
place under rules which will safe
guard business health. Business
enterprises should progress by seek
ing the favor of consumers, not the
partisanship of legislators or ad-
ministrative officers of the Govern
meht.

Avenue for Private Capital
In Public Utilities.

HI uDuC SliItltS.
One OF" the substantial avenues
for private capital in the near fu-
ture can be the field of public
utilities. That being the case, it is
extremely important there be q
meeting of minds between the utili-
ties and the Government relative tc
the appropriate spheres Of action
of Government on the one hand and
privately owned and operated utili-
ties on the other
There is peace between the Gov
ernment and the utilities in the
Tennessee Valley which, I believe
ends the era of great litigation.
I do not think any one outside
of the Government can realize how
much freezer Government can op-
crate in its relations with busi-
ness-such as the utilities-noW that
both seem to be rid of the incubus
of that self-styled, big-city' con-
stitutional lawyer. I am convinced
most of our difficulties in this field
originated with some fancy law
yers who advised their clients not tc
work things out with the Govern
ment on the theory that these law.
yers would be able to defeat the Gov
ernment in the courts, so that ne
working out OF the things would evel
be necessary.
1t gives me no little satisfaction
to note that the net results of all
these constitutional struggles have
been to prove that the most un-
constitutional thing in the United
States was the constitutional law

E. R. Bradley's undefeated Bime-

Derby and the wise boys are saving

meetings.
Wherever horse players-the skep-
tics and superstitious alike-assem-
BILE to rake over the brilliant juVe-
nile career of the newest Bradley
bullet, they agree he rates the top.
But they are looking, nevertheless,
for horse TO beat him.
The superstitious point out that
Bimelech won the Belmont Futur-
ity and no Belmont Futurity VIM
ner ever has won the Derby in so
years. Despite the improvement and
promise Bimelech showed in WIN
ming each Of six successive starts,
he also carries the jinX Of the fu-
ture book favorite. To the I'VE Can
Beat Bimelech Club" that is added
encouragement.
Odds Figured at 4 TO
Only three such favorites have
won the derby in 20 years. Six of
them never got 10 the post. SO the
players talk of the uncertainty of
horse racing, accident5, sickness and
even death, and want better price
than the 10 that will be offered
on Bimelech.
There are no official odds on
Derby prospects yet, but Bimelech
will be no higher than TO /. This
was borne out by the experimental
handicap released by John b. Camp
bell, racing secretary and handicap
per Of the Jockey club
Campbell, one Of the most astute
Of Americas horsemen, rated Bime-
lech best Of the years 2-year- -olds
by four pounds. He was given the
maximum of 1870. His second choice
was a Surprise-C. v Whitneys
Carrier Pigeon at 1875. Bettors who
place great faith in Campbells judg-
menC are awaiting the return of the
Equipoise colt to action in the
spring.
Carrier Pigeon started only twice
and won both times. His first try
was at Saratoga in an allowance
affair. He won easily over a slow
track. He started again at the same
track over sloppy footing and won
again This mudding ability gives
him an advantage over Bimclech.
