CONGRESS TERMED
MENACE TO TRADE
Business Federation'S Head
Tells Makers of Butter
u. S. Causes Crisis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclaSSu
CHICAGO, December 1.-B. W:
Snow, director Of the Federation OF
American Business, told the American
Association of Creamery Butter Manu-
facturers' annual convention today that
the coming congressional session car
ried a menace to all citizens, from in
dustry's leaders down to the humblest
place on the pay roll"
Snow asserted that Congress had long
been "a growing menace to business.
and this time it meets with a certainty
serve only to add to the governmental
burdens under which business is stag
gering." He asserted that progressive
infiltration of Socialistic experiments
under the guise of expanding govern
mental functions was removing oppor-
tunity from individual control and was
widening the Governments business
competition with its own citizens.
Scores Cost Of Government.
Snow said governmental invasion of
private effort in more than 80 lines OF
business had helped to produce defcit,
already half accumulated and the
other half definitely certain. of $1,000
600, 900, laying upon our citizens tax
burden that already has increased al
most Is times as fast as the population
since 1918.
1--WE used to hear much about the
high cost of living. Today our trouble
is high cost Of Government. Let US lop
off in6efensible beaurocratic and pater-
nalistic experiments, leaving the income
of the individual to be expended in his
own way for himself and his depend
ertS.
Says Opportunities Decreased.
1.-The mass of our citizenship" said
Snow, has been affected in two ways.
The individuals opportunity in private
business has been sharply contracted,
and upon every citizen has been placed
this steadily increasing burden of tax
alton to meet the expense OF new Gov
ernment activities.
both of these factors stand forth as
the dominant cause of our present sit
uation, that has brought hunger into a
land of plenty, and misery to q people
surrounded by all the elements Of neces-
sity and luxury for human existence"

the Papal secretary OF state.
Archbishop Borgongini Duca,
Papal nuncio. met the ambassador

The Italian government and the
Vatican soon must make important
decisions which viii temporarily

controversy. II was believed by
competent observers today.

days over the dissolution OF the
Catholic youth clubs have given 10
both sides a fair idea OF the posi-
bilities OF truce. II a felt. Half
a million young people look to Pope
Plus to have the clubs reopened,
while the Vatican also Is anxious

Easy Payments Make For
Sound Business

Installment buying has been a topic OF conversation
ever uppermoft In recent years. One OF the leading
executives OF the New York department stores told
the controllers group OF the National Retail Dry Goods
association that "installment buying. put to the test
during 1880, has been proved sound" and financiers
who had studied the installment situation have gen.
orally come 70 the conclusion that easy payments
make for sound business. There are others who insist
that the installment plan makes It easy for some
people to 60 in debt beyond their means and very
difficult to get out Of debt when a crash comes and
a crisis faces the easy buyer. 1t is for the buyer to
make his choice.
