CURRENT EVENTS 1 PASS IN REVIEW ROOSEVELT'S RADIO CHAT IS OPTIMISTIC?VIEWS OF BUSINESS LEADERS. I By EDWARD W. PICKARD <5, Western Newspaper I'nton. t-J ir.U optimism marked the "fireside chat" which President lloosevelt delivered over the radio to the people of America, which people, lie said, are. j Pas a whole, "feeling a , lot ?>etter?a lot tuore , cheerful than for many. utan\ \ears." lie asserted we are already on the unmistakable march toward % ^ recov?*rv. and t<?ld how ? /I he means t" promote the return t?? normal 5* ^ i works relief program. ' !1?* promised to put to President work three ami a half Roosevelt million persons now on the relief rolls, and to press for enactment of legislation he considers necessary for carrying on the New Deal. Only oture did Mr. Roosevelt allude to such critics of his administration as Senator Long, Father Cough!! n and Governor Talmadge. lie said: "The overwhelming majority of poo- 1 pie in this country know how to silt the wheat from the chaff in what they hear and what they read. They know that the process of the constructive rebuilding of America cannot ho.done in a day or a year, but that it is being . done in spite of a few who seek to confuse them and to profit by their confusion.'' These six "fundamental principles," j said the President, must guide the work relief program: Projects must be useful, most of the money must go for labor, "a considerable proportion of the costs" must be returned to the treasury, only those projects which can employ persons on relief will be approved, and projects will be approved In a given area In proportion to the unemployed in that area. LI OW the New Dealers propose to * * redistribute wealth by double tax- j atlon of large estates is revealed by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthan in a letter to Senator .> Pat Harrison, chair- jMF ; inan of the senate ti K- ^B| i nance committee. Mr K lb Morgenthnu outlines a w. r? pian of imposing in > 1 heritance taxes and v i j also retaining the ex \ isting estate taxes, as ; 6 I sorting this Is in line . j- u with "our fundamental M objectives." That this Kg MJff would result in tindissolution ot large ,fecret^y properties, the secre- orSen at tary recognizes, for he snvs: "To prevent the necessity of hasty liquidation of large properties in order to pay the tax, it might be provided that inheritance taxes be payable in a convenient number of installments." The plan as outlined by Mr. Morgenthau is to impose graduated inheritance taxes on estates, with rates following those of the present income tax rates, which approximate GO per cent on incomes of a million dollars or more. The present estate taxes have a maximum of GO per cent over ten million dollars. Thus there would first he a tax of GO per cent upon the estate or gift, and then another tax of GO per cent to be paid by those inheriting or receiving it This would amount to a combined rate of 85 per cent on an estate of one hundred million dollars. If all this money were handed out to the poorer people, even Huey Long might be satisfied. Legislation which the president said, in his radio talk, should be enacted by congress immediately Included the old age and unemployment insurance hill, the NKA extension bill, the public utility holding company bill, the transportation control hill, and the banking bill. Here he coiues Into conflict again with the views of business leaders of the country. The National Association of Manufacturers has just issued its economic analysis of conditions, which says recovery is "within our grasp" and that the nation is closer to breaking the back of the denressinn th!?n at any time for years, but a>ks that. In order to stimulate business, the administration and congress temporarily shelve as "disturbing" such legislation as unemployment insurance, the omnibus banking bill, the utility holding company bill, the 30-hour4 work week, the Wagner labor disputes bill, the Cluffey bituminous coal measure and proposed changes in railroad laws. Of tied-up capital, the analysis said Ihls: "Surveys iuulcaie ILat close to $20,OOO.OUO.OOU in expenditures, which would give employment to 4,000,000 The Cherokee Scout, men for two years, 16 pent up In the field of factory expansion, renovation and rehabilitation alone. "The release of this tlow of private capital by removing political uncertainties would dwarf the billions appropriated by congress for relief and make unnecessary the expenditure of much of the taxpayers* money.*' This document was giveu out as the j members of the United States Cham- ! her of Commerce were gathering in Washington for their twenty-third annual convention, and naturally their speakers endorsed It and attacked much of the proposed legislation men- ! tloned as unwarranted intrusion of the government into busine>s.

Get out before we get really mad." O KPUBLICANS of nine inidwestern states who met at Kxcelslor Springs, Mo., decided that the "grass roots" conference of leaders of the party should be held in Springfield, 111., the date to be ttxed later, though It probably will be early In June.
