House Labor Committee with unani-
nous approval

the measure to the House Immediately
It was called up in the Senate by Sen
ator Black, Democrat, Of Alabama

tor Borah, Republican, of Idaho, he

ucts made by labor working longer

The measure would prohibit the ship
ment in interstate or foreign commerce

It would be effective for two years.
Chairman Connery said it had agreed
upon the two-year restriction to put
the legislation in the emergency class
and to make it conform to the Senate
bill.
Another amendment to the bill would
make a special exception of the can
ming and packing of perishable articles
where the seasonal character Of the
product and q lack of available labor
would make it difficult to comply with
the short work day.
Under such circumstances, the Secre-
tary Of Labor would have authority to

Little Entente.
SUGGESTIONS DRAFTED
AT MEETING OF CABINET
British Place Stress on Disarma-

Mussolini Project-Press Right

Problem Presented.
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated PTeSS.
PARIS. April 3.-Counter-pro-
posalS to the Italo-British four
power peace plan were drafted at
today's cabinet session. They
were based on the French insist
ence that the project must pro-
tect Poland and the Little En-
tente, which should be consulted
in affairs interesting them.
The cabinet definitely rejected
the idea of any four-power di-
rectorate which would seek to i'm
pose its will on the rest of Europe.
The main idea of four-power
collaboration already had been ac-
cepted by France as a basis for
discussion. This acceptance was
decided on March 81, when sug-
geSted notifications of the Mus
Solini scheme were sent to Rome.
The little entente which France seeks
TO protect Is made up of Czechoslovakia,
Jugoslavia and Rumania.
The French reply to the pact pro-
posal, 1t is understood, refuses specific
mention Of article 19 of the League
of Nations covenant unless article 10,
which guarantees territorial integrity,
and article 16, which provides for the
use Of sanctions against a violator of
the covenant, also are included.
Article 19 empowers the assembly of
the League from time to time to "ad-
wise the reconsideration by members of
the League of treaties which have be-
come inapplicable and the considera-
tion of international conditions whose
continuance might endanger the peace
of the world"

BRITISH STRESS ARMS.
BY Gable to The star

by Cable TO The Star
LONDON, England, April 3.-Great
Britain's amended draft four-power
treaty, forwarded from London to Paris
different from the original version pro-
posed by Premier Benito Mussolini Of
Italy on March 18, during his confer
prime minister of Great Britain, and
his foreign minister, Sir John Simon.
Stress is laid not upon revision, but
upon disarmament and the progressive
stages whereby Germany may obtain
arms equality.
On the question of four-power con-
sultation, the new British proposal wa
ters down Mussolini's original idea to
virtually an enlargement Of the Anglo
French consultative pact following the
Lausanne Reparations Conference. AL
powers were invited and free to join
the Anglo French consultative pact. All
did-and that killed it.
The gist of the new British sugges-
tion implies the right Of the four pow
ers to discuss any European problem,
reached a decision, the other interested
powers could be asked to join. There
upon all would proceed to the League
of Nations to present 1t with their de-
cision.
On the question Of territorial revision
however, the British attitude seems tc
be that the four powers would under
no circumstances begin revision talks
themselves, but should merely guarantee
that If any other power wishes to raise
1t. then the four powers would be
pledged to see that it receives fair
and adequate hearing on the floor OF
the League under article 10.
1t is only fair to point out, however
that the British do not seem to enter
tain much hope Of any revision Of
territorial frontiers maturing in the
near or even distant future, and thai
the watering down of the original Rome
four-power proposals by the latest Brit
ish counter-suggestion has made Musso.
1ini's original suggestion not only un.
Objectionable. but even unimportant.
