Offered Navy Post.
He said the President asked him
in 1896 If he would like a cabinet
assignment When former Navy
Secretary Swanson died, he said, he
was offered the Navy post.
Mr.. Jones added.
1t was in 1910, he continued, that
the President told him he would
like to make him Secretary of Com
merce, but I said I'd better stay
as loan administrator.
1t was then, Mr.. Jones said, that
the President said if Congress would
pass legislation to enable him to
hold two statutory jobs, he would
make him Commerce Secretary as
well.
Congress graciously paid me the
compliment Of passing this legis-
lation," Mr.. Jones continued.
Not Looking for Job.
tits an honor to be in the cabinet,
but a greater one to be where you
can be most useful. I'm not looking
for a job. I've never asked for job.
I don't need one"
He said he had been granted SO
much power at times that he asked
Congress to revise one bill which
gave tne too much authority"
He said, You don't hear much
about the RFC because it is run
by businessmen without ideas for
remaking the world"
Chairman Bailey made no effort
to stop the applause which greeted
this remark
Senator Pepper asked If it was
not true that the Commodity Credit
Corp. lost money while it was un-
der the RFC and made money after
it was transferred to the Agriculture
Department.
"If so it wasn't due to manage
ment," Mr. Jones rtorted. The CCC,
he added, made loans on crops and
at rates specifically directed by Con-
gress.
Previous Row Recalled.
Once before Mr. Jones had tangled
with Mr.. Wallace in a public row.
1t was when Mr.. Wallace accused
him Of using overcautious methods
and holding up stockpiling of stra-
tegic war materials. Mr.. Jones
said at that time that Mr.. Wallace's
handling of the Board of Economic
Warfare in this respect was without
sound business methods and that
the then Vice President used half
truths and mo truths at ALL"
Mr.. Jones said yesterday the RFC
in its 13 years made loans either
with full or adequate" security and
the RIGS directors could easily
abuse such wide authority either
by inexperience, visionary planning
or a disregard of the taxpayers
money"
| Aggravating Circumstance.
After Senator George, droned

/ lation, Senator Pepper told him ut

post, he said "I'm not seeking the
job" but that it was up to the Pres
ident.
Senator Pepper did most of the
questioning and at times the hear
ing took on the atmosphere of a
court room where Senator Pepper
as the defense attorney, was cross
examining the prosecuting witness
And there were times when the ex-
changes were heated.
1t was in response to question
from Senator Pepper that Mr.. Jones
said he considered Mr.. Wallace mot
qualified" for the combined job of
Commerce Secretary and loan head
'Why?" Senator Pepper pursued
Lack of experience"
Senator Pepper asked for "factual
data" on which Mr.. Jones based his
opinion, as Senator Pepper phrased
it, that Mr.. Wallace was "incom-
petent."
you talk to much at one time"
Mr.. Jones snorted. Il didn't say he
was incompetent. Stick to the text"
Fitness for Both Jobs Denied.
Senator Pepper asked at another
point whether in Mr.. Jones opinion
it was possible for one man to ad-
minister both the Commerce De-
partment and the lending agencies,
assuming he was competent, and
got this reply:
IF you're trying to ask me if
Henry Wallace is qualified for both
jobs, I'd say mol"
Mr.. Jones told the committee that
the RFC had handled about $45, ,OOO,-
600. 900 of loans under his direction
and said that so far as its authority
goes the RFC can lend anything
any time, at any rate of interest, to
anybody"
Suggesting the administrator had
to know all the tricks of the financial
and business world, Mr.. Jones re-
marked that "some OF the smartest
men in the country" come seeking
loans from the RFC.
Where the honey is, the flies
are" he observed. Where the
money is, the moochers are. All the
moochers were not in the WPA."
350-Word Statement.
At the outset Mr.. Jones presented
the committee 350-word statement
that from top to bottom was an i'm
piled slap at Mr.. Wallace.
The man who is given the vast
responsibilities contained in the
RFC Act should be man of proven
and sound business experience" the
silver-haired Texan declared.
Mr. Jones said the Governments &
lending agencies conduct the biggest
business the world ever has known
and postwar adjustment will have te
be handled even more carefully I'm

iness and financial structure"
'The lending agencies and the Gov
eminent can be administered as they
have been, on non-partisan basis

we have built up in this Nation ir

THAT to my mind is the ISSUE

gress must decide" He said thu

of the powers Of the lending agencie!

was difficult to escape the impress
sion" that the legislation was in
troduced because of Mr.. Wallace's
nomination to be Secretary Of Com
merce.
'The nomination of Mr.. Wallace
may have been an aggravating cir
cumstance," Senator George smiled
"It seems to me 1t was. the i'm
pelling circumstance, Senator Pep
per rejoined.
"Oh, wouldn't 60 that far" Sen
ator George said. TITS either a
good bill or bad one"
Senator George went on to say
that he had no quarrel with Mr.
Wallace, but that he would not vote
to put the RFC powers in the hands
of any one but an experienced busi-
nesSman.

ment. Certainly we on the home
front. cannot hesitate to do any
thing less. Both must give their all
to the common cause"
Mr.. Wallace laid great stress on
President Roosevelts eight-point
economic bill of rights, contained
in message to Congress last year
MIR. Wallace said his own program
was designed to make effective this
bill of rights"
At the start of his testimony, Mr..
Wallace asserted:
Obviously am deeply concerned
because the George bill which you
are considering has for ats purpose
the stripping of the Department of
Commerce of its lending functions.
Il would be less than frank if ]
did not say that there is even great
er significance in the fact that my
nomination to be Secretary of Com
merce was the occasion for this
proposal.
Kind of Experience.
Some have suggested that, to save
my face, such a move is desirable
because of my lack of experience
But that does not fool me or the
American public.
ut Is not case of lack of ex-
perience but of not liking the ex-
perience I have had" he said en-
phatically.
Mr.. Wallace pointed out that
while he was Secretary of Agricul-
ture that department handled more
than $4,000, 100000 in loans for COM
modify credits and other aid to
farmers.
These loans were made on q
sound basis" he said. 81 am proud
Of them.
THE real underlying motive in
this controversy has nothing to do
with my competence for the job
The real reason is whether we are
to help big interests or to help little
business, too, and to make possible
60,000,000 jobs after the war.
There is no personal issue"
Postwar Production Capacity.
Mr.. Wallace predicted that Amer
lea would meet the problems of
peace and industrial expansion just
as it had met the problems of war.
IF we can reach huge production
for war, we can produce cars and
other things for peace" he said.
Americas capacity to produce will
be even greater when the soldiers
return
IF we have the courage, all this
can be done"
He said it must be decided whether
small segment of financial giants
and business tycoons are to do the
job, or whether 100000 small busi-
nesses are to be strengthened.
THE same people who asked the
American people to set their sights
too low for war are now asking the
people to set their sights too low
for peace" he insisted.
America must take a lead in
establishing economic democracy,
just as it had in establishing politi-
cal democracy, he said.
'Fiscism is an enemy from with
out-but also from Within" he
added
