NATIONAL RECOVERY
AMERICA’S EFFORT PRAISE AND CRITICISM Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, May 2. Fourteen hundred delegates to the annual convention of the United States Chamber of Commerce to-day heard a series of speeches from tho leaders of the business and industrial world, some praising and others condemning various parts of President Roosevelt’s recovery programme. The President declined to address the gathering, and was represented by General Johnson, who defended the administration of the National Industrial Recovery Act. Mr Henry Harrimaa, president of tho Chamber, took an optimistic view of the business conditions and praised the N.R.A. to the extent that it abolished child labour, eliminated unfair competition, and effected other reforms. The general reaction of the assembly appeared to be that economic planning to a certain extent.was desirable, but it was positively opposed to permanent Governmental control of business through such devices as the Securities Act and the proposed Stock Exchange legislation.
