(0NFERS WITH WALLACE
ABOUT AIDING SMALL
BUSINESS

ST. LOUIS, June 27 (ANP)-Dr.
S. Edward Gilbert, national director
of Bigger and Better Business, Phi
Beta Sigma fraternity, conferred
with Secy. of Commerce Henry A..
Wallace in the secretary's Jefferson
hotel room for 45 minutes.
The highlight of the conference,
which ranged from renewal of old
acquaintance dating back to 1888
when Wallace was editor of the Iowa
Farmer, Des Moines, and DR.. Gilbert
was executive secretary of the Des
Moin'es YMCA to the future of
American politics, was a plan to be
spearheaded with the cooperation of
the department of commerce by the
Phi Deta Sigma fraternity to supply
Negro business with the best busi-
ness information and consulting
service in the world; scientific and
chronological service which small
businesses cannot afford due to
limited capital, a service of guidance
and counsel in problems pertaining
to taxation, finance, unfair COM
petition, foreign trade, sub-contract-
ing regulations and control.
To this end the representative so
impressed the liberal secretary with
Sigma's s far-reaching program that
a future discussion was asked by
him, to be held in Washington dur
ing the latter part of July at which
details for putting into action the
proposed plan will be worked out
with Lawrence A. Arnold, director
of the newly formed office of small
