President Roosevelt dropped his policy of conciliation to strike forcefully at business organizations organiza-tions which he said misrepresent the views of those they claim to speak for. He refused to believe business and industry generally had deserted the New Deal. Although he did not mention the TJ. S. chamber of commerce directly, direct-ly, his press conference remarks were pointedly directed at that organization's adoption of resolutions resolu-tions harshly criticizing his administration. admin-istration. The National Association Associa-tion Manufacturers likewise has been critical. Sends No Message The chamber of commerce in session here this week roundly denounced the New Deal and demanded de-manded abandonment of many features fea-tures of the president's recovery and reform program. The president presi-dent spanked the chamber by failing fail-ing to follow his precedent of either, addressing it or sending a message. The president indicated in plain but forceful language that he felt strongly on the subject. The president referred to chamber cham-ber of commerce speeches censoring censor-ing the New Deal as glittering generalities containing no mention of the human side of the picture. Ironically, he added that this was scarcely a constructive contribution. contribu-tion. He delved far back into his experiences ex-periences in public life to cite instances in-stances where he contended business busi-ness organizations frequently misrepresent mis-represent their membership. He smoked a cigarette in a long holder hold-er and tapped the desk with his glasses for emphasis as he spoke. He observed that business men generally, in his opinion, understood under-stood the true situation and that he would string along with them rather than with their organizations. organiza-tions. Reminding his audience that there had been a lot of talk about letting business regulate itself. Mr. Roosevelt said that practice had shown the need of a checkup of enforcement by state, city or federal governments. MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs Bv OREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON President Roosevelt's left-handed casti-gation casti-gation of the house military affairs committee for publishing publish-ing army officers' plans to seize British islands, did not go down so well with committee commit-tee members. Their reaction was that the president, as commander-in-chief, ought to keep his army officers from making secret plans for seizing the territory of a friendly neighbor: that if he could not keep them m check, these officers of-ficers ought to be exposed. . . Fact is. various officers have been sabotaging their commander-in-chief constantly. During; the World Court fight, in which the president had taken a definite stand, several army officers buttonholed senators to vote against that stand. Congressional Con-gressional reaction was that the commander-in-chief should secure better discipline from his officers instead of castigating the military affairs committee Choice of O.
