activities have been outlined by Secretary llopkins in talks witb business men Although Hopkins himself lias remained silent on his plans a piecing together of the views expressed across the dinner

clear poaition on business taxes 3 Search for a method by which the department can help settle the dispute between the American Federation of Labor and the CTO 4 Promoting the re-employment in private business of persons now being taken care of by WPA projects 5 Development of the business advisory council into a strong working unit 6 Promotion of belter and bigger South American trade Business men who have talked with Hopkins often during his intensive industrial study in the last two months are convinced that the principal point lie will stress in his speech at Des Moines Friday night will be a reiteration of his belief in the profit system The talks have helped to moderate some of the suspicions that segments of business had about him when he was appointed Moreover they believe that when they pour their troubles into the ear the words will reach the White House Four of the six ideas which Hopkins has outlined in private conversations are things about which the commerce department has done little labor relations labor peace re-employment and taxes There arc several reasons for that One has lieen that the administration was putting emphasis on other phases of its program Another was that labor and re-employment were looked on as problems for the labor department to handle Taxes similarly were regarded as a treasury worry HARTFORD WON NINTH Defeated West Rutland High By Score of
