| international relations, tending toward
conflict and toward the imposition of
| political conditions in international
markets. Does the recovery of Europe
from the destruction of the World War
bring again into play forces which
make for a recurrence Of that disaster?
Does Germany, as 1t retakes its rightful
place in the civilized world, by that very
TACT imperil the prosperity and peace Of
its neighbors?
Does France, as 1t triumphS in an al
most unbelievable recovery and becomes
q dominant financial power, give Just
cause for apprehension that 1t will drive
other nations to the wall or make them
tributary to 1t, not by militarism but
by It's industry and the savings Of its
thrifty population? Is Britain destined
to test sort of economic Monroe Doc
trlne in the South American Continent,
and so bring us face to face with the
issue Of economic conflict?
These are fundamental problems
which lie behind the lesser adjustments
of the passing years.
These problems are not to be got rid
Of by sentimental affirmations of good
will. They must be met on their own
terms, met honestly and frankly and
without evasion. For II the, capitalistic
world of today Is, by its very nature,
headed for such continuing interna-
tional anarchy as is here implied, then
the remedy must be as radical as the
disorder is profound. Otherwise civiliza-
ton cannot endure, for the destructive
capacity Of science in conflict is rapidly
gaining on its capacity for creative and
productive work.
Wants Terms REDEEMED.
Now, while these challenging ques-
lions can only be answered adequately
by long-term study, there is one initial
step on the path toward a solution
and long step at that-which can be
taken by merely reStating the questions
themselves. It does not take much
thought to see that the terms COM
monty used in discussing these nterna-
tional business problems are themselves
vague and misleading.
when we speak Of British or Aneri-
can interests in a foreign country we
are often dealing only with the inter-
ests of a very limited number Of Brit
ish or American business men, and the
fundamental interests Of those nations
may lie in an absolutely opposite direc-
ton from that which these small groups
represent Sometimes, indeed, what Is
featured in the press as the rivalry OF
one nation against another is hardly
more than the rivalry of q single BUSH
ness firm against its competitors in the
same technique.
International business Is, after all,
simply domestic business In another set
ting, and If we concentrate entirely
upon the setting, and not upon the
business itself, we utterly distort the
problem. Foreign business, like that at
home, responds to the stimulus of in
vention and improvements in methods
of manufacture or distribution. When
we face this problem in terms Of bust
ness itself and examine 1t industry by
industry instead Of generalizing about
a national balance sheet-in which 1t
naturally finds a place-we flnd that
success in international competition de-

they want Cruiser B, they hoped that
the Socialists would vote against the

cabinet would fall. But, though the
Socialists do not like naval expenditure,
they like Fascists far less.
A Socialist spokesman delivered him
self Interestingly as follows:
"A majority Of the Reichstag dep
utieS are in favor of Cruiser B. The
fact that the absence of ISL National
Socialists, FascistS and Nationalist ar
tiflcially changed this majority into q
minority does not change the real sit
uation. The absent Fascists are specu-
lating on the rejection of the cruiser
appropriation, with the consequent fall
OF the Bruening cabinet. They are
using the situation to further their fight
against the republic.
THE Social Democrats, who helped
to create this republic, will not deliver
1t into the hands of the terrorist enemy.

"The further we .analyze international
business the more we find 1t misleading
to think Of it in terms Of the narrow
theories Of national politics of the
movement OF capital is so much greater
than was the case in the nineteenth
century that 1t is almost q new eco
nomic phenomenon. Governments still
attempt to control 1t in the old
fashioned way. but such policies tend
to react upon the countries maintaining
them.
Political Borders Disregarded.
Similarly the planting of factories
near the source Of supply is transform
ing the economic geography of the
world in spite Of political frontiers.
This Is the same kind of thing that has
brought the cotton mills from Massachu-
sets to the South. 1t follows economic
laws with little regard to politics. The
new factories of China and India are
planted there not as part of American
or British or japanese rivalry in the
Orient, but because raw material and
labor are cheapest there just as in the
first stages Of the industrial revolution
industry moved to those localities which
could supply coal and iron on the spot.
Now the time has come to recognize
that the movement of capital and in
dustry Is as much a permanent part
OF the world as human life itself: that
1t will never be lessened, but will always
be increasing, and that. therefore, the
only sound policy for any nation is to
adjust itself to progress in those tech
niques which will supplant human labor
by machinery.
The only way, therefore, to build I'D
business in terms of permanent pros
per1ty; business which will not suffer
the recurring tragedies of unemploy-
ment and hard times, is to plan for and
think in terms of a larger economic
community than that Of any nation,
however vast its resources.
In proportion as business Is organ.
lied in terms Of mass production it
needs to look for a lirnitless reservoir
for the sale of its goods. There is no
such Hmitless markets among the rich,
or even the well-to-do, or any one ma
ton, nor among the rich and well-to-do
nations by themselves. There Is only
one way by which prosperity can con-
tinue to meet the increasing demands
Of increasingly organized industry and
that Is by a parallel increase Of the
buying power Of the common man the
world over.
THE bigger the business, the more It
Is organized according to sound prin-
ciples and not dependent upon the
temporary support which tariffs Yield
by a tax upon the consumers either
here or abroad, the more it must look
toward increasing the characterization
OF wealth, which enables the common
man to buy the goods which he pro-
duces. Wages must be increased, not
TO some limited point which the expert
ence OF the past assigns, but proper
tlonately with the development of in
dustry itself. This is the challenge tn
economics which American industry
gives back as an answer to the skepti-
cism OF Moscow, which does not believe
that such things are possible without
iron control from above"

Underground Railway

ALGIERS, Algeria. always
faithful in its imitation Of the French
metropolis, has been suffering acutely
Of late from traffic congestion. Street
cars are Just as harmful there as any
where else, and the only way to clear
the streets is to circulate underground.
A commission has been studying the
question of an underground railway,
and plan has been drafted by one Of
the engineers who built the Paris "Nofd-
Sud" Algiers' subway will be miles
long, crossing the town. Its surface
tracks viii prolong it several miles out
into the suburbs. AS the town numbers
100000 inhabitants, counting those liv-
ing in the suburbs It is easy to imagine
what an Improvement the new railway
would be. It will cost $4,000, 900 and
take 10 years to build.

COLONIZATION OF PALESTINE IS
 TO BE DISCUSSED
Delegates Are Assembled at Basic, Switzerland Two Groups Will Ex- press Their Opinions

Basic. Switzerland, June 30-- (UP)-Vital questions of policy in
 the continuation of Jewish coloni-
 zation in Palestine will be taken up for discussion at the 17th Zionist congress, which opens here this evening. The delegates have begun negotiations and preparations for what appears likely to be a warm controversy between the s0-called labor faction and the revisionist party, aided by most of the Ameri- can group. Continued cooperation with Great Britain in the develop
 ment of Palestine is favored by the labor group. They desire practically to abandon political activity in Pal
 estine and concentrate on construc-
 tive work.
 Dr Chain Weizmann. head of the
 world Zionist organization and lead CT in the Jewish agency for Pales- tine, Is supported by the labor group, who desire to proceed under him or. some leader with the same
 viewpoint as head of the movement. The revisionists. aided by the American delegation under Rabbi stephen Wise, favor a new relation
 ship with Great Britain, which holds the Palestine mandate. and pro- gram. of political activity as op- posed to concentration on an eco-

Tower of immaculate Conception Church About to Fall Long Considered One of Commanding Features of Gothic Architecture in New England

!, imbued with civic pride are pleased l tc consider ''skyscrapers." At one time 1t was visible to residents in all parts of the city and was con- sidered one of the commanding fea- lures of Gothic architecture in this section of New England. The cor Il nerstone of The Mother Church" Of Catholic edifices of worship was laid July 5, 1857 under the pastor l ate of Rev T. F. Hendricken, who came here from Winsted in July |s1855. The ceremony. was performed
 by Very Rev William O'Reilly, ad- ] ministrator of the diocese and in the presence of large number of prominent clergymen and thousands of spectators.
 The church was solemnly dedicat- ed on December 19, 1857 under the ] patronage of the Immaculate Con- ception of the Mother of God being
 recognized as the first church in this country to be placed under the
 patronage of the Immaculate Con
 ception after the promulgation of the dogma on December 8, 1854.
 The original dimensions of the church were given as 1892 feet in
 length; 65 feet in breath, interior
 height 50 feet and height of the spire. 200 feet.
 Since the dedication of the new Church of the Immaculate Concep- tion on May 20, 1928, the huge cross that once graced the pinnacle of the spire has been removed. Dur ing lightning storm the structure was hit and the cross knocked out of place.
 | The actual work of removing the spire started this morning when a i gang of Iorkmen in the employ of 1 the Thomas G. Smith company started on the interior of the struc- ture. A large opening was made at the base of the steeple. It is the plan of the workmen to make their way u/ through the inside, boring holes aI various sections for the eventual erection of a staging. The Georgia Pine beams used in the erection of the spire were found to be in ;:n excellent state of pres ervation. Were 1t not for the orna- mental features on the outside that have become loosened by the ele- ments of the past 75 years the stee- pie would be permitted to stand for years to come. Some of the added fixtures" that relieved the appear ance of the weather stained steeple nave been regarud as a menace 10 the safety of passers-by, especially to patrons and employees of the garage that has occupied the former home of prayer for the past two years and more. One of the orna- ments fell a few months ago and punctured the top of an automo- bile parked in the adjoining yard.
 The skyline" of East, Main street will appear greatly altered with the passing of the spire. It has been a feature of "Old Broad way" since before the days of the Civil war. From an architectural viewpoint the spire has become a surviving memory of "by-gone days", from a period when Father Hendricken's idea of "big church" was considered too advanced and "too large" for Waterbury.

 Madrid. June 30 (UP)-An ex- tremely liberal, if not definitely radi- cal, foundation for the. republic in leaders of the new era, draft of the proposed constitution just com pleted indicates.
 The draft, to be the basis for the constitutional assembly action next month, was finished last night. It provides, among other radical steps, for separation of church and state, a move already anticipated
 Strict guarantees for respect of individual rights and safeguards against infringement cn these rights also were provided in the suggested constitution which will be adopted by the assembly to supercede the old constitution of 1876.
 The Catalonian problem under the central government remains to be settled by the constitutional assem- bly, next month. The Catalonians have designed committee to frame statute for Catalonia,' upholding their demands for autonomy. A similar situation may be faced else- where, particularly in the northern Basque border region, where inde- pendent parties have sought auto- nomy.
 Spain is divided into provinces un- der the new draft constitutions significant document-but several provinces may unite into region for stronger action and representa- tion on central government affairs. The regional governments thus formed would have certain broad functions, but many important ad- ministrativc functions remain vested in the central government
 | In providing for separation of the church and state in Spain. which the provisional government has ad- vocated since the fall of the mon- archy last April, the draft constitu- tion declared the Catholic church is 8 corporation de derecho pubiico' corporation of public rights-and that all religious associations must submit to the regular laws.
