Dear Mr. Crow: This is to acknowledge receipt of your wire and of your letter of January 12th with reference to my meeting with The Economic c-lub of Detroit at luncheon on Monday, February 20th, for an off the record talk. If it is pos sible to do so, I shall try to prepare a brief press state ment in advance, ks it appears now, I think it would be most timely for me to discuss what the Government’s objectives of fiscal and monetary policy should be. In accordance with your thoughtful suggestion, it occurred to me that possibly you might wish to have at the Speaker's Table, in addition to Mr. "uss, such directors of the Detroit Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank as may be able to attend and perhaps the State Banking Commissioner if he is also available. However, I would prefer to leave this entirely in your hands. Since occupying a public office, I have always felt that I should not accept remuneration in any form in connection with articles, addresses, etc., dealing with the public business and, accordingly, while I am grateful for the offer to defray expenses, I must adhere to my rule in this regard. Again permit me to thank you for your courtesy. I shall look forward with pleasure to being with you on February 20th. Sincei*eiy yours, M. S. Eccles, Chairman. ET:b
