CONGRESS TO DECIDE
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME REFERENDUM REFUSED NEW YORK, Feb. 4. President Roosevelt has intimated that he intends to submit his labour and business legislation to Congress regardless of Senator W. E. Borah’s plea that he should submit it to a plebiscite. He said that hours, wages and prohibition of child labour were a primary) concern and fair trade practices secondary.
He expected that two separate statutes would be attempted. There would be a foreign trade programme for three more years by the extension of the powers granted in 1934 and recommended by the House Ways and Means Committee.
