"I would say be it less with than regret, candid but, I failed to express my opinion that unemployment is now traceable more directly to government policy than to anything business could or should do," said the white-haired Baruch, a personal friend of President Roosevelt and sometimes consulted by the chief executive on eccnomic questions, Baruch testified before the senate committee on unemployment.

He recommended enactment of legislation which he said "seems to me a necessity of our times" but criticized some other administration policies, particularly the undistributed profits and capital gains taxes. These taxes, he said, "practically arrest" the and expansion of new industries. He said that there is ample credit now to support much greater business activity than that of even 1929 and added: "The single missing element in a great forward movement is a feeling of security- a belief that money can be spent or invested without confiscation of reasonable profits by inordinate taxation.
