CONFIDENTIAL
Press Conference #125,
Executive Offices of the White House,
May 25, 1934, 4.15 P. M.
Q How do you do, Mr. President? We had a nice time at your party.
THE PRESIDENT: Did everybody survive?
Q Yes, we all succeeded in pulling through. Still an old football
player. That forward pass!
MR. DONALDSON: All in.
THE PRESIDENT: What is the news?
Q That is what we want to know.
THE PRESIDENT: I almost called the Conference off; I haven't any.
Q Let us make some.
Q Mr. President, the French Ambassador told us that he touched lightly
on the debts, that is, during his visit. Will you tell us how
lightly he touched?
THE PRESIDENT: Very lightly.
Q Anything further?
Q Did you only touch lightly on it also?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, very lightly. What the French call "l'aisement."
Q Mr. President, anything you care to say about the strike situation?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't think so. I think I had better not. It is
awfully difficult to say anything without going into details and
differentiations. I think it is probably better I should not. We
are all working on it, as you know.
Q You still need legislation of the type of the Wagner bill dealing with
this?
THE PRESIDENT: It would be very helpful. There is no question about it
