	WORKING PAPER 9405 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Swope's proposal, of which Hoover certainly would have been aware, through Lippmann's newspaper columns if not directly from Swope, called for a demonstration project to find out whether restrictions on intra-industry competition, information-sharing, and federal control of prices could be combined to ensure greater stability of employment and wage levels in the electrical industry.
		." [T]he Swope plan [is] an illustration of the irreducible minimum of surrender required to inaugurate a stable and socially responsible industrial order on the foundation of capitalism and political democracy.
		Lippmann's rhetoric on planning is a hodgepodge of "freedom" this and "justice" that, much less coherent than most of his intellectual output, but his sympathies on this subject clearly lay with those advisers pushing both Hoover and Roosevelt toward fairly vigorous governmental intervention in the private economy.

	CHAPTER SEVEN: Who Financed Adolf Hitler?
		In 1933 Harriman was appointed chairman of the New York State Committee of Employment, and in 1934 became Administrative Officer of Roosevelt's NRA — the Mussolini-like brainchild of General Electric's Gerard Swope.
		Gerard Swope of General Electric was author of Roosevelt's New Deal, Teagle was one of NRA's top administrators, Paul Warburg and his associates at American I.G. Farben were Roosevelt advisors.
		It is perhaps not an extraordinary coincidence that Roosevelt's New Deal — called a "fascist measure" by Herbert Hoover — should have so closely resembled Hitler's program for Germany, and that both Hitler and Roosevelt took power in the same month of the same year — March 1933.

		In 1931, General Electric president Gerard Swope, with the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Industrial Conference Board, called for the compulsory cartelization of all major American corporations into federally controlled trade associations for each industry.
		Central planning would have been carried out by a national economic council of corporate leaders and "responsible" union leaders.
