Dear Mr. Eccles:
Your address to the alumni of the Harvard Bus­
iness school, June 16, as reported in the newspapers, gave me
a great lift -— among other reasons Decause of your inclusion
of the self-liquidating possibilities of an adequate puolic
health program.
Do you by any chance have a copy of your
address,
and if so, could you rush me one Dy airmail, to arrive
here by Saturday if possible, before I leave for Philadelphia
and New York?
Two things have happened since the evening, last
November, when you listened to a sketch of a health program, self
liquidating and based purely on economic common sense.
Ones eff­
orts, through Hopkins, to interest the Administration, have fail­
ed completely.
Two:
the conservative Curtis Publishing Company
has taken fire at the idea, and is getting ready to put it before
business, financial, industrial, labor, farm, educational and
other leaders of the country in a large way.
With a view to
asking such a group to demand of the G o v e r n m e n t ---on a non­
political basis -— that an economic health program be instituted

Cologne



Please give my best to the Bishops of c erlin and
when you see them.
Sincerely,
