I note that the International Relations Committee, National Association of Manufacturers, of which you are chairman, asks the government to clarify the respective roles of government and private enterprise in the pursuit of the president's "bold new program."

We may be sure that the constructive part will be supplied by private enterprise and the destructive or socialistic part will be provided by government. What amazes me is that businessmen and especially deliberative bodies are always willing to join these two antagonistic forces and thus promote socialization, which always gains by such mergers.

The ideals of the "bold new program" can be and will be realized by business only in proportion as it separates itself from political action. This will come when businessmen make their practices conform to their antisocialist professions.

If you and your Committee members really believe in the efficacy of private enterprise to promote human welfare and will consider a world plan of action to this end, entirely divorced from political action, I shall be pleased to submit such a plan.
