Ry the Associs;ed Press
GENEVA, May iS.-Ths most striking
feature of the first session yesterday OF
the conSultive economic committee,
appointed TO carry on the work of the
1927 Economic Conference, was a
warning by Arthur Pugh. British trades
union leader, that British workers are
getting restive under economic condi-
tlonS which maintain an army Of un-
employed.
If the workers listen 10 a policy
which must mean intensilicstion Of
economic warfare. he said. 1t is because
they despair of progress toward eX
pansion of demand for the products Of
Industry
President David Serruys Of the
League Of Nations permanent economic
committee reported that European
economic solidarity is improved, but
that diminishing trade with oversee
countries due to high tariffs is leading
to unfsvorable balances and is retar6-
Ing general progress. This criticism Of
tariff barriers was believed TO allude
particularly TO the United States.
e, A. Gilmore, vice governor of the
Philippines. who, with his wife. is en-
route TO his home in Madison Wis. on
leaves was an interested auditor Of the
session. He said he was glad TO follow
the discussion because the importance
OF economics in the life of peoples had
been the one thing that he had been
striving TO bring home to the Filipinos
believing that economic DEVELOPMENT
rather than political should be ennha-
sized in the island.
