Dear Orv&lt
I t was thoughtful of you to send me a wire approving of my statement on the longer work-week, before
the Joint Committee on the Economic Eeport in i t s hearings
on the President's Economic Program.
In case you have not seen my entire statement
I am enclosing a copy of i t herewith. I think you may be
interested in the f i r s t part, dealing with the inflation
aspect of a wrong international policy.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,

M. S. Eccles.
Mr. Orval ¥. Adams, President,
Utah First National Bank,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Enclosure
