¿5 November 2U, 19liU* Mr. Sidney Hillman, President, Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, 15 Union Square, Hew York, Hew York. Dear Mr. Hillman: May I presume upon our friendship to ask you, despite your overcrowded schedule, to glance at the enclosed copy of a talk I gave the other night before the National Industrial Conference Board, or possibly to let me have the views of your economic assistants in regard to various positions I have taken in this effort to outline the policies that seem to me necessazy in the intermediate and longer range periods after the war* While my own responsibility for policy-making is largely confined to banking and monetary matters, nevertheless, they have a place in the picture as a whole, which cannot be discussed in te lli gently, in my opinion, without undertaking to show the interrelation ship of a ll policies, particularly those affecting labor. Hence, I have expressed my own views broadly in regard to labor policy in this talk to an audience that was hardly receptive to ideas that they would consider too liberal. I hope, however, that the line I have taken is generally in accord with national labor policy, for which you have such a. large share of responsibility. Accordingly, it would be very helpful to me if X could have any comments that you or your immediate assistants might be willing to give me as to this general approach. With best regards. Sincerely yours. M. S. Socles, Chairman. Enclosure :b
