INDUSTRIAL LEADERS
TO DIRECT BUSINESS
National Council to Co-Op­
erate With Government.
Washington. — Four hundred lead­
ing American Industrialists, rallying
to President Hoover’s call, met In the
nation’* capital and Joined In the cre-
utlou of a national council of busi­
ness men to guide Industry and com­
merce through the present and any
future economic disturbances.
The fir« of two sections of the
council was Immediately organized by
the appointment of an advisory sub­
committee of seventy-three, which Is
to act In concert with an executive
committee of the Industrial conference
held nt the White House two weeks
ugo. The council will be complete
with the appointment o f the executive
committee authorized by the White
House conference. Its members
to be named, as were those of the ad
vlsory committee, by Julius H. Barnes,
chairman of the board of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
Thus the economic council, first of
Its kind In American history, will have
two chambers which might be de
scribed roughly as a senate and an
assembly. They will have the arrive
co-operation of the federal govern
ment through the medium of the De
partment of Commerce, If not the
president personally.
The first concrete move toward the
formation of such an economic b »«l.v
was taken after President Hoover bad
addressed the Industrialists.
The
meeting brought together the repre
sentatlves of more Industrial re
sources thun probably have ever met
under one roof.
The President, who Is believed to
have conceived thia plan for the mo
blllzatlon of national business to In in
Itself over the peaks and valleys'isof
economic trends, declared the ^ V ’da
mentul objectives are to “assuiff e-i
ployment and remove the fear nJ yn
employment which held the key tb the
maintenance of a high standard of llv
Ing and the well being of the Amort
can p e ^ le j ip d their homes."
