Anticipating that no attempt
would be made in the legislation to

said many members of Congress ARE
opposed to price-flxing on agricul-
tural commodities, especially when
no effort is made to control the
price of industrial labor. ""' A
very vigorous and determined effort
will be made to protect the farmers
from having their income unfairly
reduced by an arbitrary price-fixing

said he believed any price program
should be administered by board
of at lease three members.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida called Mr.. Roosevelt's mes
sage "a sensible and necessary pro-
posal" and added:

Adjustments Suggested.
Members cf the House Banking
Committee, which will handle the
price control bill, when questioned
as to how the economic scales would
be kept in balance if no control of
wages is exercised, suggested that
the price-fixing agency would have
to make adjustments on products
or commodities to take care of future
wage increases for those engaged in
their production.
One member recalled that in the
case of soft coal, the bituminous
coal division was reported as ready
to make such adjustments in mini
mum coal prices if the recent wage

Disclosure that the British air

of any naval action accompanying
the air attack.

President Roosevelt Is famed,
 among other things, for writing
 some subtle political messages. One
 is the reply to the memorial passed
 by the recent Legislature urging that Interior Secretary Iekes be busted. On receipt of the memorial and the letter transmitting it from ! Alaska Secretary P. L. Bartlett Mr. Roosevelt wrote:
 l My Dear MT Bartlett:
 I have for acknowledgement your letter of February 19 transmitting a certified copy of Senate Joint Memorial No. 1 of the Alaska Ter ritorial Legislature, fifteenth ses-
 sion, requesting that I accept the l resignation of Honorable Harold L. Ickes as Secretary of the Interior,
 or that the jurisdiction of Alaskan
 affairs be transferred to the De- partment of Agriculture or to the Department of Commerce. May I say that this memorial is refreshing reminder of the free
 dom of expression enjoyed in our democracy The energetic and frank l expression of the memorialists is, in itself, the best indication that Alas
 ka need not fear any serious abridge-
 ment of democratic procedure. I am convinced that should the l Legislature of Alaska desire to pre- sent it's views to Secretary Ickes,
 the difference Of opinion regarding
 the various problems enumerated in
 the memorial could be amicably re- solved.
 l Sincerely yours.
