Congress is going to take hand
In the situation arising out Of Eng
lands embargo against made in
America" products.
That developed late last night with
the announcement that Senator John
W. Weeks Of Massachusetts, was pre-
pairing for introduction in the Senate
tomorrow a resolution calling upon
the State Department. for informs-
ton whether wartime embargoes on
raw materials were being removed.
II they are being removed-and
the gates have been widely opened
by orders from the War Trade Board
question will be:
"Why do we allow England to get
all the raw materials she wants,
when she refuses entrance to our
manufactured products, and our mar
kets are threatened with a flood of
articles manufactured in England
with her cheaper labor out Of our
raw materials?"
Q. s. Must Protect Rights.
Announcement that Senator Weeks
contemplated bringing before the
Senate the subject which has aroused
American business since the an
nouncement OF the British import
prohibitions, followed statements by
other Senators that the United States
must protect itself from British trade
aggression should the embargo prove
an initial move ii that direction.
While protests against the damage
to American trade which the British
import restrictions will entail were
flooding Government agencies, IL de-
Veloped that America has won the
first round in the rate-War initiated
by British shop owners as a prelimi-
nary to the English drive for domi-
nation in the world markets.
News that America had beaten the
British at their own game Of rate
cutting was contained in information
from New York of. conferences there
between representatives. Of the Ship
ping Board and of British conference
agents. II was indicated that agree
ment 70 the point where future rate
reductions would be the result OF
joint action had been reached.
Smash EnEIIEh Drive.
Officials here took the information
TO mean that England's drive to seize
control Of ocean transportation by
rate-sIashing methods had been
smashed. No sooner did the British
announce their reduced rates than
the Shipping Board met them on their
own ground with equal rates-and
in some cases a little Iower-for ships
controlled by that organization.
The first reductions announced by
the British were from American
North Atlantic ports to United King
dom and continental ports. The Ship
ping Board met those the night they
were announced. Since then. for a
week, the battle has ragged merrily.

tinued their methods, and the New
York conferences are the result.
1t is understood that the latest re-
duction in rates, that announced from
New York and other American North
Atlantic ports to Australian and
South African ports and to the Orient
was the result OF joint agreement.
SeandInavIanH Hard Hit.
Neutral shtpowners have suffered
especially as a result OF the rate
slashing, Scandinavian and Dutch
firms being especially hard hit. In
many cases vessels chartered for the
war are being returned to their Sean
dinaYian and Dutch owners at the
present time, just as rates are falling
through the bottom, and they have
lost completely the profitable busi-
ness which they could have con-
tracted for at the rates prevailing a
few weeks ago. The British and
I American vessels, on the other hand
I have contracts made at the war rates
which win keep the moccupied LOT
probably ten months or more. 1t is
estimated that about 10 per cent OF
the British and American tonnage
will be affected by the new rates,
while practically the whole neutral
tonnage will suffer.
The British import restrictions are
the question OF the hour in Wash
ington. Senator Weeks resolution
will offer the first means of an. in
vestigation leading to possible re-
talictory action on the part of this
country. Senator Weeks represents
a section noted for it's shoe factories,
a section natrra1ly interested in the
British embargo on American-made
footwear.
Question Boards InAtciOH.
Machinery for protective measures
on the part OF the United States is
contained in the War Trade Board.
A number Of Senators today were in
clined to question the apparent mac
tivity of that organization in the
situation.
England undoubtedly is taking
means and measures to protect her
SELF" said Senator; Wesley L. Jones
Of Washington. what I would like
to know is why does not the United
States wake up and protect herself?
II is. time we were thinking about it.
Congress created the War Trade
Board with powers which enable ii
to deal with this situation, should it
prove that the British import restrict
ions contain menace to the welfare OF
American business.
at strikes me ii is up to the War
Trade Board TO do something. Do we
have to give. them the power and then
get them to use it?"
No action on the British import re-
strictions is contemplated by the War
Trade Board, according to statements
of officials there. The board considers
that any initiative viii have to be
taken in Congress, although the ad-
ministFation naturally would be
through the board as loRg. as war con-
-ditions continue.AfteF 3 peace treaty
Is signed the board will cease to func-
tionz--Also the hands. OF Congress
would be tied, as England could well
object 70 an embargo on raw products
directed solely against her. Her i'm
port restrictions apply 70 all nations
aHlse; although the great majority OF
articles on the list come almost solely
from the United States. A general
embargo on exports OF raw materials
by this country Is, Of course, inlpos

An army man made this re-
mark in our hearing recent
ly: "We found in the can
tonments that men from de-
partment stores rounded into
shape quicker than boys
from the farm"
We aren't surprised. No class
of workers have their health
guarded better than the en-
plOyes Of a great store, such
as this.
For instance, we have a COM
plete hospital with beds and
a dark room for the treat
ment of anyone who is i'll.
A GRADUATE nurse of expe-
rience is in constant attend
ance and is ready 10 give ad-
'vice or help at ANY time.
A doctor spends two hours. each
day in the hospital, where
any .employe can consult him
FREE.
Outside physicians of promi-
nence give lectures on hy-
giene, etc.
If department store people
aren't healthy, it is their own
fault, nine times out of ten.
