(By The Associated Press)

ergency measures tp curtail pro
duction, Dr. Itexford. G. Tugwell,
bald, Friday night, were far from
the basic policy of the Roosevelt
administration in its recovery
plan. The assistant secretary of
agriculture spoke before the stu
dents of the university of Cincin
nati and a large audience. The
bteps tak£n to curtail production,
he said, were purely temporary,
measures to get business moving.
That accomplished the administra
tion hopes to re-adjust the agri
cultural and industrial affairs, “in
each a way hs to make available
to everybody the benefits of econ
omic mass production.”
He said the philosophy of the
new deal was action, as opposed
to the old order wh'eh let natural
inrees solve matters themselves.
"That all we needed to do was to
bit tight, hold every thing, and
•aii results." He added that there
tan been “no attempt to bootleg
alien politics or philosophies into
our democracy.”_■_
