FINANCE AND .H'STKK
WASHINGTON, June 3. More and
more, the major policies of the New
Deal are shaped and perfected In the
back rooms of the White House. In
periods of uncertainty, the president
charts his course after general con
sultation with other high officials.
At the moment, however. In splto of
deepening economic depression, the
president is self -confident. And In
periods of self-confidence he with
draws into his circle of private ad
visers. This was strikingly illustrated by
the president's lecture to the school
children of Arthurdale. Before Ar
thurdalc high school's goggle-eyed
graduating class, the president sharp
ly criticized the new tax bill. He
gave his reasons for letting the bill
become law without his signature.
He described the kind of substitute
he would demand next year. And he
drove the last and largest nail Into
the coffin of government-business re
conciliation. Since tax revision was first con
templated, the president has made no
more important pronouncement on
this vitally Important topic. Yet the
proposed tenor of the Arthurdale ad-

COMMITTEE FOR
WASHINGTON. June 3. (AP)
Overriding interior department objec
tions, the senate mining committee
recommended today congress suspend
for the current fiscal year the annual
assessment work requirement on min
ing claims held by location In the
United States.
Secretary Ickea and the bureau of
minea opposed the committee's action
contending a moratorium would, fur

Industry. Similar moratoriums have
been voted by congress during each
of the past several years.
The committee -approved bill, by
Senator Johnson (R-Callf), would
suspend the assessment work require
ment for the period ending at mid
night July 1. 1938.
The moratorium would not apply,
however, to more than six lode-mining
claims held by the same person,
nor to more than 12 held by the same
partnership, association or corpora

TRADE UNION ACT
Will Send Special Commis
sion To England Aims
To Clear Up' Misinforma
tion Held In United States
WASHINGTON. June 3. ( AP)
President Roosevelt announced today
that a special presidential commis
sion would bo sent to Englejid this
summer to clear up what he consid
ered to be misinformation In this
country about the workings of the
British trade union act.
This act has sometimes been held
up by business interests and others
as a model of legislation the United
States might write In order to de
fine the proper activities of unions.
Whether Mr. Roosevelt Intends to
apply the findings of his commis
sion in any positive way was not
brought out,
In discussing the purpose of the
study with reporters at his press
conference, he said simply that It
would b&ve nothing to do with the
Wagner labor relations act. He ex
plained that the purpose would be to
end misunderstandings of the law.
but what these are he did not relate
CIO Represented
Mr. Roosevelt withheld the names
of tbe commission members he has
already selected, but a letter written
by John L. Lewis and released si
multaneous with the conference dis
closed that the Commission (or In
dustrial Organization had been In
vited to have representation.
Lewis, the letter disclosed, first
agreed to participation, but objected
strenuously today after he had reed
published reports that one purpose
of the study would be to get Infor
mation, to ba uswf In modifying the
Wagner labor act.
"The Committee for Industrial
Organization cannot sanction such
an. enterprise," Lewis wrote, "nor
permit Its representatives to serve
on such a commission. It will op
pose amendment or modification of
the Wagner act."
Aides said Lewis would stand by
his letter, which was addressed to
Secretary of Labor France Perkins,
despite Mr. Roosevelt's outright press
conference dental that the Inquiry
was designed to produce changes in
the Wagner act.
Written In 1027
The British act was written th
1027, after England's upheavals of
1920 resulted In a great general
strike. Labor department experts ex
plained the law has four purposes
1, To maks "sympathetic" strikes
and lock-outs Illegal although It le
galizes other strikes and lock-outs,
2. To restrict mass picketing.
3. To restrict the use of trade un
ion treasuries for political purposes.
4. To limit strictly the affiliation
of civil servants with trade union
organizations.
These experts also explained that
the act doea not require any regis
tration of unions or fix any finan
cial responsibility for their acts.
Those objectives were covered In
much older British statutes which,
with some modification, are on the
books today.

sion because the membership was In

Prosperous Times Ahead
By DAVID WII.K1E
DETROIT. June 3. OP In hli first
statement on public affairs since he
returned home from a recent eastern
trip that took him to Washington as
a White House visitor, Henry Ford
said In an Interview today that noth
ing has happened In recent weeks to
change his conviction that "we are
going to have the grentest era of
prosperity and happiness we have
ever known."
Ford sat astride a bench In the
mesa-hall of a boys' farm camp, not
far from his home In Dearborn, and
pointing toward the pearly 300 acres
under cultivation by the young farm
ers, said:
"And It will come through a back
to -the-land movement."
Ford reiterated his criticism of
certain flnsnrlal Interests" which, he
said, would like to bring about an
other war,
"Somebody once said that 80 fam
ilies have directed the destinies of
the nation." Ford said. "It might
well be said that If somebody would
focus the spotlight on 28 persons who
handle the nation's finances, the
world's real war makers would be
brought Into bold relief."

a proposal by Senator Copeland (D -N.Y.)

Asserting ha was now ready to
