The Italians who now attend St. Mary's and St. Joseph's church are chiefly interested, and Andrew Mas cola of Beaver street, and Denuzze are the promoters of the movement. Tentative plans are to secure a site on Beaver street for the proposed church.
 There is g. difference of opinion as to the advisability of construct ing a church at the present time. Some leaders argue that the general pressure for money will make 1t ex- ceedngly difficult to solicit contri- buttons. These advise waiting a year before taking steps toward construc- ton. Principally among this fac tion is James H. Passerini, assistant secretary of the Commercial Trust Co.
 A mass meeting of Italian-Ameri- can citizens will be held in about two weeks to get a consensus as to the proposed plans. Only about 1a were present last night at Denuzze's S office.

Labor Government Urges Scientific
 Of Worlds Ecc
Susan Lawrence Asks the League of Nations As sembly to Institute Re search Work Program.

Geneva, Sept. 23 (Hp-Susan Law renee, labor chairman and parlia- mentary secretary to the ministry of health in the Macdonald cabinet, today in the name of the British government urged the League Of Ma tions assembly to instituted a world wide scientific inquiry into the funda- mental causes of economic depres sion reported by virtually all COun- tries
 we have sat here day after day" she said to the economic committee of the assembly, hearing delegates from one country after another tell of the miserable state to which their populations have been reduced. There has not been one word of hope nor one real, concrete suggestion for remedy.
 T call upon you to support the proposal for this inquiry as move of primary importance to the whole population of this planet"
 Believes in Interpretation
 Miss Lawrence asserted that Great Britain believes in the most unCon- ditional and unrestricted interpreta- tion of the most favored nation clause. Her government, she de. clared, feeling that this clause is based on the principle of equality tc all nations, regards it as the best guarantee against unrestraincd com mercial rivalry between nations ot groups of nations.
 Deali,,~ with the Warsaw confer ence's resolutions Miss Lawrence as serted that Great Britain could not agree with a plan to give prefer enee to the agricultural products of European countries as against non- Europeans.
 Seeks Pact Harmony
 Another British delegate, Philip Baker, asked the judicial committee debating amendments to the league covenant to '7ake it harmoni2e with the Kellogg pact to adopt these amendments without adding to the political obligations of league mem bers by increasing the powers of the council to employ physical restraints.
 Baker Stresses CompulsiOn
 Baker stressed the value of moral compulsion n closing the gap against war. His plea was in reply to delegates who yesterday cast doubts upon the desirablity of amending the covenant for fear the changes would weaken it as an in strument of peace.
 Dr. Walter Riddell, Canadian dele gate, explained to the economic con- mittee how a depression in highly industrialized countries like Canada and the United States has especially severe results.
 You must remember" Dr. Rid dell declared, that a highly indus trialized agriculture is operated en- tirely upon price basis; it cannot live unless it can sell its products at a profit. What happens in such country? The farmers become bankrupt, they must abandon their land. After the depression of 1921- 22 investigation in the United States showed that more than 100000 people had to leave the land. That does not usually occur in @ pleasant

Lower Money Rate
To Aid Construction

WASHINGTON, Mar. 17-gPy-Sec-
rotary Lamont said today that the
lower interest rates on money
throughout the country should per-
NIT an important speeding up dur
ing the next few months in new
construction, which he said alrAdy
had been stimulated by the re
markable cooperation" from the
various states.
The commerce secretary asserted
the high interest rates during the
past year had been one Of the
major factors in slowing down
construction. and added that while
the rate had dropped in New York,
easier money conditions have not
yet reached throughout the coun-
try.
This condition could not be work
ed out in "a hours. Mr.. Lamont
said. but the situation was grad
ually loosening and construction
during the spring should be great

Mr.. Creager's suit grew out OF two

by William G. Shepherd. was called

1t means in effect that CreageI
now has the Collier and Sons Pub
fishing company in court as de-
PENDANT.
Up until now. the Brownsville
man has been check-mated at every
turn and it appeared doubtful as tc
whether he would be able to get the
publishing company into court In
Texas.
The p. r.. Collier and Sons Dis
tributing Corporation, a Texas con-
Germ, readily accepted service. but
the publishing company succeeded
in having all citations served upor
il quashed. Three of four such ci'
tations we're quashed since the cas-
has been hanging fire. The de

no connection between the publish.
ing company and the distributing
corporation.
Swinging around 10 another
flank, Creager has obtained service
through the Crowell publications.
According to local attorneys
judgment against the Texas con-
Germ is not as desirable as judg-
ment against the publishing com
pany.
