Conference On Business Set For Jan. 19th
Washington reports government and business warming to the first mass conference on the recession. Fifty members of the business advisory council will meet with President Roosevelt January 19 to discuss economic problems and pending reforms amid concerns over decentralizing control of industry. The Chamber of Commerce warns against harsh administration attacks on business and urges cooperative planning to curb overproduction and unemployment cycles. Some New Dealers oppose the round table approach as illegal, preferring legislation to curb monopolies and decentralize control. Willkie criticizes the Roosevelt press conference and flags the Tennessee Valley Authority case as a major issue.
