For many months there has been a demand that war agencies should be abolished and that there should be less Government interference with business.
I return herewith, without my approval, House joint resolution No. 440.
I regret that I am not able to see in the condition of the world at large or in the needs of the United States any such change as would justify the restriction upon that minimum which is proposed by the House Joint Resolution.
In my opinion the legislation proposed is not in the public interest and is objectionable.
