Public Works Urged
To Stop Liquidation
Compulsory Unemployment Reserves Also Advocated
By DR. Arthur d. Gayer of Columbia University

New York, March 80 - Declar-
ing that IF a nervous or impover-
ished public will not or cannot
loosen up on it's spending at such
times as the present, government
should take the initiative ITSELF" DIR
Arthur d. Gayer of Columbia Uni
versity and the National Bureau of
Economic Research, last night adj
vocated a greatly enlarged public
works program as "the most effec-
tive method of attack on continued
liquidation during depression. DR.
Gayer spoke at a meeting held here
tonight by the American Sstatisti-
cal Association to discuss unem-
ployment.
Enlarged OUTLAWS on public works
would not necessarily mean an in
creased burden of taxation, DR. Gay
err said. Employment and produce
ton would be stimulated and this
would tend t obring about a recov-
cry in commodity prices. Conse-
quently tax receipts would greatly
increase without the imposition of
new or additional taxes DR. Gayer
urged Slong-range planning and
budgeting of public works as per-
manent government policy.
II employers should. set aside UNI
employment reserves equivalent to
two per cent of payroll, in five
years there would be provided in
New Yor state alone total of 500;
million dollars to tide workers over
periods of involuntary idleness and
10 sustain purchasing power, stated
DIR John B. Andrews, secretary of
the American Association for Labor
legislation, who presided at the
meeting Unemployment reserves If
made compulsory by law, would be
a direct stabilizing influence" said
DIR Andrews. But perhaps even
more important, they would cause
employers to think continuously of
unemployment prevention. We shall
never get far in sterilization while
business men are permitted to for
get the problem as they always
have done in the past when bus
mess revives.'
Inasmuch as the Marcy Commit
tee on Unemployment created by
the New York legislature has al
ready endorsed compulsory unem-
pIoyment reserves, it isAto be hop
ed that it will either present to the
next legislature a bill of it's own
embodying this principle or adopt
the Mastick- Steingut bill as intro
duced in the 1892 legislature, de-
clared Beu1ah Amidon. associate
editor of The Survey, who spoke on
THE Employers Part in StabiliZa-
ton" "Only by contribution to
such a reserve fund" Miss Amidon
said, "can the employer help take
up the slack where his stabiliza-
ton efforts have failed and assume
his fair share of the burden of I'M
avoidable unemployment"
DIR Willford 1. King of New York
University, whose subject was Co
operation of Employers and En-
p1oyes" said that if employers and
employees would agree to uniform
reductions in prices and wage and
di-idend rates SO as to increase
sales during a depression, there
would be no reason for unemploy-
ment." He also pointed out that by

FORD MAKES BID

London, Feb 19.-(UP)-Hen1y
Ford made his greatest bid for the
European motor trade to-day when
he introduced his new depression
four" to the baby-car market. AL
though that is not the name
Ford's statesmen use, it aptly de-
scribes the Dearborn 1nagnate's
new model. The depression has
driven thousands Of European mo-
florists to sell their big cars and
buy the highly popular babies"
So Ford built for the first time
to compete directly with the Aus
tin and Morris British baby cars.
The new "Lizzie", exhibited to-day
in Ford's own motor show at the
Albert Hall, will sell for about 120
pounds ($410.00) in the cheapest
sedan model. Heretofore the
cheapest Ford sedan cost f185.
Austin's cheapest sedan sells for
11S pounds and Morris for 1872
pounds. Each has an overall
length Of 0 feet, 8 inches. The
baby Ford is just four inches long

AUNT OF EXILED
KING ALFONSO
HAD SURPRISE
Infanta Eulalie Announces
Engagement of Daugh-
ter of Ex-King and
Some Manificent Gifts .
BY MARY KNIGHT
Copyright 1882 by United Pre-


Paris, Feb 19.-UP)-The In
fanta Eulalie, aunt of the exiled
Spanish monarch, Alfonso, and
"grande dame"' of the Spanish
royal family, to-day made a double
announcement.
Acting for her nephew, she an
nounced the engagement of his
daughter, the Infanta Beatrice, to
her cousin, Prince Alvaro de Bour-
bon Orleans. The marriage will
take place some time before July
Is, at Fontainbleu though previ-
ously there had been objections to
the marriage because of the health
of the Infanta.
Speaking for herself, 1nfanta Eu-
lalie announced that the Spanish
republican government had found
her trunk containing 100000 In
jewels which had been missing for
IA years. The trunk will be sent
to her in Paris.
In an exclusive interview with
the United Press, the Infanta,
vivacious and gay for all her 68
years, praised the honesty of the
republican government which up
set Alfonso's rule and sent the
royal family into exile.
"They thought / was crazy when
I insisted that / had shipped jew
els worth $25,000,O00 pre- war
francs from Paris to Madrid, in
1918" she laughed.
The trunk was discovered in an
inventory of the contents Of the
royal palace in Madrid. 1t was
lost because it was enclosed in
wooden box which carried no iden-
tifying markings. When the trunk
was received in 1918 it was placed
in the royal vaults and servants
failed to make a record of its ar
rival. Later the servants were
changed and all subsequent efforts
to find the trunk were in vain.
"I told Beatrice that she could
have the diamonds and pearls be-
cause she is the eldest of my
nephew's children, the Infanta said.
81 told her sister, the Infanta
Christina, that she could have the
eemralds and pearls becaues she is
the youngest. But they both
asked my permission to sell the
jewels in America as they already
have quantities of the royal fam
ily's diamonds and pearls. OF
course. l agreed.
II intend to give each of the
Princesses. between three and four
million francs in jewels as dow
ries. / shall keep or sell the re-
mainder." Alfonso's consent to
the marriage of the Infanta Bea-
trice was given begrudgingly, the
United Press learned. The Prin-
cess who celebrates her 23d birth
day June % when she attains her
majority and the right to act for
herself, told her father that un-
less he consented she would marry
without it. -

fanta said she believed he had
