When other methods seem to fail, President Roosevelt likes to send his lieutenants into the land to rally the sagging morale of U. S. businessmen with strong language. First it was Secretary of Commerce Roper, then Donald Richberg who tried to soothe the business jitters by loud strumming on silver-lined harps.
