CLOSE OF NOVENA,
 40 HRS DEVOTION
Impressive Ceremonies at St Francis Xavier Last
 Night and To-day
THE EDTFICE CROWDED

The novena conducted at St. Francis Xavier church by domtn- ican fathers closed last night be- fore a congregation that crowded the upper and lower churches. It was estimated that 2,500 persons were in attendance. Regardless or the effort made to find seating ac- comodations for all, some found it necessary to stand during the services. Sermons appropriate for the occasion were delivered, the exercise closing with papai bless ing and benediction. It seems to be the general opinion that Fit was the most successful mission ever conducted in the parish, but some of the older members doubt this and refer to the time when people found 1t impossible to get inside the doors at missions given years ago. However this may be. 1t is certain that the services were largely attended, and the two mis- sionary fathers Rev John E. O'Hearn, O. F., and Rev. Camillus Boyd, o. F., pleased all who at- tended with their brilliant educa- tional sermons. The message they would like to leave to the people was that they make supreme eff fort to keep the good resolution they have made during the novena to the end, so that when they ap- pear before the judgment seat of God they will be able to give satisfactory account of their con- duct in this life. They also made a strong plea for membership in the Holy Name society and frequent confession.
 The forty. hours devotion closed this morning with procession Of the blessed sacrament in which number of children, suitably att tired, took part. It was an edifying sight. The splendid results of the past nine days must be source of much qualification to the pas- tor, his assistants and the sisters of tho rochia1 school

ADMIT HALF OF
| WORKERS JOBLESS
Wage Rates Worse, by
Natl Board Figures

NEW YORK, March 28.-The vol
tlme of industrial employment in the
United States since 1929 is down 43.4
per cent-that is almost half of those
workers employed in 1929 are totally
unemployed today. Wage rates OF
industrial workers have been reduced
1913 per cent. Working hours of those
industrial workers still employed part
time have been cut down 1853 per
cent. The purchasing power OF the
industrial population Of the United
States is only ass per cent Of what 1t
was in 1929. These figures are based
upon the studies recently completed
by the National Industrial Confer
ence Board.
Not Complete Picture Of FAN.
While the figures are exact gener-
ally, it will be noted that the report
of the Board deals first with indus
trial workers, but when it comes to
the question of purchasing power 1t
deals with the industrial popula-
ton" which includes the superin-
tendence and administrative appa-
ratus of industry. The income Of
these elements remain quite high and
when that is included with workers
purchasing power 1t gives a distorted
picture as far as workers are con-
cerned, inasmuch as 1t makes 1t APP
pear that their purchasing power has
sunk only to the general level Of the
whole industrial populatiorl-when,
as a matter of fact, it is considerably
below that.

Roosevelt Sees Representatives
of Both France and England on
the World Economic Conference
St. Playing Both Sides for Advantage Uses
Debts Means of Bringing Pres European Nations

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Con-
yersations were continued yesterday
between Secretary of State Cordell
Hull and the British Ambassador,
Sir Ronald Lindsay, on the forth
coming world economic conference.
War debts were not discussed, SO
there will be further conversations on
this point. Hull has already stated
that the way is open for considera-
ton of the inJer-allied debts in con-
nection with all other economic dis
cussions.
Used for Imperialist Moves.
Involved in this is the question of
ornaments, with the United States
government using the debts to try
to induce it's inperialist rivals to limit
their arms so that arms supremacy
would be on the side Of the United
States.
Such debts are also used to try
to get tariff and trade concessions
from the countries owing money to
the United States. The payments
that fall due on June is, when Brit
ain is to pay about 100000, are
being used by the United States in
the hope Of getting political and mill
tary advantages over Britain.
Roosevelt Meets Claudel.
AT the same time Hull and Lindsay
were discussing the British question,
Roosevelt was holding a conference
with the French Ambassador Claudel,
on similar lines. Jacques Stern,
chairman of the finance committee
of the French chamber of deputies,
was present and discussed the lower
ing Of tariff barriers. Later Stern
said that he favored making the
payment that was withheld last De-
cember before the meeting of the
world economic conference.
1t is generally recognized that
debt payments cannot continue, but
these debts Will not be cancelled be-
cause they are being used as one of
the weapons in the arsenal of Amer
lean imperialist intrigue in trying to
gain advantage of a political and
character.

CONGRESSMAN IN
WAR PLOT CHARGE
Says Roosevelt Moves
to Fight Japan

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Charg-
ing that President Roosevelt's sup
port of joint resolution to take the
power of declaring. embargoes on
arms and munitions shipments from
congress and placing it in the hands
OF the president aroused q sharp at
tack from Representative George H.
Tinkhan of Massachusetts,.
Tinkhan declared that this move
was in pursuit of the policy of the
administration in provoking war
against Japan.
Same As Hoover Administration.
Congressman might be forced to
ask too many questions to explain
to their constituents back home, so
the President wants the power to de-
clare embargoes at any time he
chooses, whether or not congress is
in session.
This is regarded as a step in the
direction of taking away from con-
gress decisions on all acts leading up
to open warfare.
Congressman Tinkham, a repub-
lican, said; THE present administra-
ton apparently wishes war in Asia
with Japan as its proposed policy
leads only in that direction. 1t has
sent to congress a resolution demand
ing that the President be given the
right to declare an embargo against
the shipment of arms and munitions
to any country he may choose. This
is aimed particularly at Japan and
indicates that the present admins
tration has adopted the whole for
eign policy Of the last CHoover) ad-
ministration.
More Dictatorial Power.
Continuing, Tinkham said: at takes
away from congress the power to i'm
pose an embargo. 1t gives the presi-
dent the power to decide which ma
ton is an aggressor nation. 1t makes
the president Judge of foreign dis
putes. This means that the presi-
dent can declare war In effect con-
gress abdicates its power to declare
war"
