Abstract

You Can't Appease Business
Crawford, Kenneth G. | March 25, 1939 issue

The article focuses on the present business condition and the commercial policy of the U.S. "New Dealers," prodded by John Hanes and Harry Hopkins, have all but turned themselves inside out demonstrating the sincerity of their attempt to give the business community what it wants. However, the business remains unconvinced and markets are not responding either. Perceiving that the irresistible reactionary swing which started in the 1938 election is still on, the more politically minded of the New Dealers have decided to run with it and, if possible, run fast enough to get out in front and lead it. On top of all this U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave business definite assurances that there would be no new reforms.
