President

By PAUL MALLOV.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 1. The
figures show tht Joseph P. Kennedy
told the truth when he said business
was better than business confidence
Official and unofficial tabulations
indicate that we are In a summer re
cession which Is now about 9 per cent
more than seasonal. That Is hardly
amazing In view of the drouth,
trlkes. heat and inner business sklt
tlshness. You would naturally ex
pect the recession to be at least three
'' times that much, in the face of all
these troubles.
The seasonally adusted monthly
business chart proves that production
.was off about 4 points In July, em
it? nlovment 3. wages 2, and sales 1.
The only things higher In July
were the price Index and the ther.
mometer. The price level was higher
than It has been for two years. The
drouth did It.
Government business seers, wit!
these figures in front of them, take
a less excited view of conditions man
for instance, the marketeeTe In New
Tors.
They look on the drouth as a more
serious hazard to business than
strikes. Labor troubles oan be set
ui but the drouth cannot. Boih
are national problems, but are lo
oallzed.
There Is another more widespread
national Droblem. less obvious, but.
possibly even more Important in their
view. That Is the suojecc oi a.c
Mr. Kennedy spoke the (at times)
Irrational uncertainty among sonv
business men.
When Mr. Kennedy spoke as chair
man of the securities commission, his
voice was drowned out by the assis
slnatlon of Dollfuss, whl:h occurred
the seme day. His cooling promise of
restrained and sensible business rela
tions was lost in the face of the hot
blssts from Europe It was lost only
temoorsrlly.
From the way Mr. Roosevelt's eco
nomic counselors are now murmuring
among themselves, you can see very
plainly that they are going to meet
Mr. Roosevelt at the pier with ad7l
that Washington turn the electric
fan on the business man's brow.
There will be more speeches ,ltk-
that of Mr. Kennedy and more than
speeches.
Neither the drouth, strikes nor heat
had much to do with the decrease ol
industrial production In July. It was
due mainly to Increased prices of steel
snd lumber, and the fact that textile
mills are on a 35 per cent curtail
ment progrsm. The drouth and
strikes hurt department store sales
and csr loadings.
A General Motors executive walke-1
Into the NRA headquartera the other
day. He was formerly connected with
the NRA and Just dropped In for a
ehat. Under his arm was a fat book
about the sire of the old-fashioned
. family Bible.
4 NRA'ers probsbly had never seen a
' "Bible, and Inquired about It. They
were amazed when Informed that It
was the price policy of General Mo
tors, reduced to writing.
The price policy of the NRA has
never been reduced to writing. Neither
has the labor policy, except In the
most general terms.
That started a round of discussion
about the advisability of reducing all
rin nollcies to detailed writing, so
all the bickering and uncertainty of
the different code systems could oe
avoided. There would be one rule
for all.
tt could be done, but It would take
more print paper than there Is avail
able In the world.
Inside the NRA organisation, the
morale is not what It used to be
Genersl Johnson has been carrying
the rales and regulations of that out
fit around In hla head since the start
T.iey have never been put on paper
either.
The result la that since Johnson
hss been as-ey there has been con
elderable lnter-cfflce confusion, con
flicts of authority, disputes as tc
1 p-ocedure. Some executivea have be
come dl.gtisted.
There has been a big rush lsteiy
among vacationing government offic
ials to get bak on the Jo before the
bnw comes back from Hawaii. Messrs.
Morgenthau. Roper snd Tugwell ar
rived the same day. acting as If they
had never been away.
The Influx aroused suspicions thtt
Mr. Roosevelt hsd ordered some, of
them back to work, but such sua
niclnua are undoubtedly groundless
The truth Is the President Invited his
ssaoclates to take a month off If tr?
could arrange It. Pew could.

new atoc exchange commission as
"the securities extermination com-mis-ion."

Well, they not rid of all the
bif Democrats now and th
islands can settle down to
iteady Rossip. They can't hard
ly figure Mr. Hoosevelt's visit
out. They can't tell if ha come
to seo them or come to get some
fixh or come to impress some
body. I am not miming anybody,
mind you, that ho still would
stand for no monkey businesi
in the I'acifie. Anyhow, what
ever lie come for it was a big
success : that is, if it wasn't for
fish. The fish didn't bite, but
