The secretary of the treasury em phasized the central committee was not to be an economic council direct ing the economlo policies ot the na tion but rather an organization to bring about cooperation between the government and private business. Then, one by one the heads of the government agencies directly Involved in the new economlo drive for Jobs and credit spoke to the meeting in cluding such financial and business leaders as Myron Taylor, of the United States Steel corporation; Daniel Wil- lard, of the railroad woria; Edsel Ford, Detroit automobile manufac turer, and Melvln Traylor, Chicago banker.

"Credit Is available," he said, "but In many sections it is flowing inade quately In directions which would stimulate consumption of goods and employment. It needs resolution to use our banking and governmental resources and co-ordination to make them effective. i . "There can be no question that there are in certain sections large numbers . of businesses, particularly small business, which have been un able to find the credit facilities to buy raw material and to employ la bor on goods which they can sell." - The president found every seat In the conference room filled when he arrived.
