The conferences, he said, were serving to clear up many false Im pressions, which he attributed mostly to politics. For example, he said, there was a group- of conferees which failed to see any consistency In advocat ing curtailment of farm acreage and improving acreage. It was very evident, he added, that In pre venting soil ' erosion land is im proved, but at the same time land Is taken out of production. That requires stressing he said. He said also he had found some persons in the business groups who thought it v&& Inconsistent for him to say In 1933 that the price level must be raised and In 1937 that prices were too high. The president said there was nothing Inconsistent about that, that his objective still was the same. The price level Index In 1933, he said, was about 69 and the aim was to get It back towards 100. But, he added, it obviously was proper to object to certain rises In com modity prices that threw the whole thing out of balance. Discussing the attitude toward holding companies which he had expressed at his press conference last week, Mr. Roosevelt said it was obvious he did not have In mind such companies as the Penn sylvania railroad In advocating elimination of all holding compan ies. He explained the Pennsylvania was an operating unit and not holding company even though It operated In many states. He said some writers had Inter preted his remarks about bank holding companies to mean elim ination of branch banking when such was not the case.
