Geneva, Sept. 8tb- The Brandt el-

Premier King pointed out that Canada
was particularly concerned because of its
associations with both France and the
United States and because of the 4unde-
Tended frontier between. the Dominion
and the United States, which he termed
a symbol of the policy Of remuneration of
war as an instrument of national policy.
In achieving racial control and lnterna-
tionaI peace with its great neighbour,
Canada, for more than a century, had
fulfilled two great fundamental principles
of the League of Nations. Today, Pre-
mier King declared, puOlic moneys in
Canada were saved and utilized for the
purpose of productive industry. That is
why he believ we'd in disarmament, not to
rely on it as a means OF preventing war
but as essential to prosperity, he de-
clared. If | venture to stress the slgnl,
fcance of the BriandKelIogg treaty.
said Mr.. King, because of immediate
association Of the treaty in its inception,

EMPLOYMENT REPORT

Director General Holds Survey Re.
suits Will Be Ready With.
in 10 Days.

Director General Jones Of the United
States Employment Service reported to
Secretary of Labor Davis today that !he
Nationwide survey of unemployment,
which has been in progress for several
weeks will be laid before the Labor Sec
rotary within 10 days. Mr.. Jones would
give no indication of the extent or
spread OF unemployment IN advance OF
submission of the figures obtained 10y
the employment service and taoulateo
by the Labor Statistics Bureau.
Secretary Davis has taken no action
toward initiating another national sur
vey of unemployment authorized under
a resolution introduced by Senator
Wagner of New York. and passed by the
Senate last Monday. Funds for this sur
vey are not available at the present
time. 1t was said at the Labor Depart
ment today. and the Wagner resolution
did not authorize appropriation Of funds
to carry out its purpose. All the funds
not otherwise used by the United States
Employment Service in its survey were
allocated to the Labor Statistics Bureau
to carry out the work of tabulation.
The Labor Secretary is known to feel
that unemployment Is not as widespread
as ii has been pictured. but that any
estimate IN advance of an oficial nose
count would be premature and might
affect the authority of the Official fig
ures. Varying estimates of unemploy-
ment have placed the number OF men
out OF work as high as $780, 900. but It
Is understood this figure is high and
that the actual number may be shown
to be less than 1000. 900.
