Boston, July 31-The New Eng land councils index of general bus mess activity in New England de- clined somewhat in June from the May level, but activity continues to hold up in this region better than lin the country as a whole, the council announced here today. With the exception of the index of bank debits, all the components of the councils composite index showed more than a seasonal de- cline in June as compared with May, with indices of car loadings and steel ingot production in June reaching their lowest points for the present depression.

Shoe production declined more than seasonaIly from the unusu- ally high production level reached in May, but is still above normal The "Electrical World" index of industrial operations, based on the consumption of electrical energy by New England manufacturing plants, declined from the May level after. allowances were made for seasonal change and long time growth.

WAR DEPARTMENT TO AID JOBLESS
 COMING WINTER
Army Blankets and Cots Will Be Loaned Out Where They Are Needed By Unemployed
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER '(COpyright, 1881, by United Prcss)


 Washington, July 31.-UP)- army blankets and cots available next winter to meet needs arising out of the unemployment situation 1t was learned to-day.
 Rolling army kitchen equipment also may be supplied to a limited extent.
 A check by war department of ficials disclosed there are avail able for such use 1,600,000 army blankets and 206.0OO cots, stored chiefly in corps area depots.
 They will be drawn upon where localities find real need for such equipment. They will be loaned only under careful control and through application by local of ficials or recognized charitable agencies.
 There is no thought at the war department that all of the huge supply available will be required. Blankets and cots were made avail able last winter but only 2S,000 blankets and 18,000 cots were loaned.
 War department officials said that 1t is the departments policy to loan it's equipment for use In disasters such as floods and that these supplies always were avail able wherever they could be used to alleviate suffering, and that no special authorization or request from the president is necessary.
 More fundamental aspects of the problem were thrust forward to-day by Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland. In a speech at White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, he warned industry that unless 1t does not solve the problem of pro- tecting It's labor against involun- tary unemployment. then l pre- dict that government is going to step in and take the remedy in It's own hands"
 The picture Is not all dark gray. Savings banks are overfloWing with money. Some have refused to accept new accounts because they cannot handle additional funds. The National Association of Mutual Savings Banks has just reported record breaking deposits. They represent 13,000,0O0 accounts of an average of $735.56.
 To translate these figures into an imaginary picture. figure some 13,O0O,000 families out of 20.000,- 900 has piled up in savings banks the. equivalent of half years wages, if the average wage was $1,500 a year.

 The United States is preventing the accomplishment of the first two items while France Is the stumbling block in the thirds Thomas said.
 The United States IS preventing the accomplishment of the first two items while France Is the stum- bling block in the third, Thomas said.
 A different view of disarmament was expressed by Frank H. Simonds, writer on foreign affairs, who said that with the world in it's present state disarmament might lead to armed conflict.
 Thomas, Simonds, and Dr Luigi Villari, Italian diplomat, were the three speakers at the discussion on "fundamentals of disarmament" in which the 800 statesmen, scholars. editors. writers, lawyers, bankers, cl rgymcn. and students of internA- tional affairs attending the insti- tute took part.
 In Thomas opinion 1t is highly uncertain that either the people or the government of the United States is ready for recognition of Russia or cancellation of war debts and the tariff reduction be added as fourth step necessary to world recovery, the role of the United States as leader Is much more du- bious."
 Sim mords, in explaining his view regarding the possible consequences of disarmament. said the war al- ready exists. although 1t has been going on without arms.

 Three round table discussions were held to-day. Professor Arthur N. Holcomb of Harvard university presided at one on the future of democracy: Professor c. M.
