STUMBLING BLOCK is
MALADJUSTMENT

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-.fUP).-.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
said today that maladjustment be-
tween agriculture and industry is
one of the biggest stumbling
blocks on the nations road to eco
nOmic recovery.
He said, "There must be bal
ance between the farmers prices
and production and prices of in
dustry. 1t is of supreme impor-
lance to national affairs now,
Restoration of foreign trade in
farm products also must follow,
1t must be based on willingness

Bar Associations Group Questions
Validity OF Child Labor Amendment
If Adopted After First Rejection
Would Grant Congress
Power 'Menacing' Every
Home and Family
BY CHARLES E. AHRENS
United Press Staff Correspondent

BY CHARLES r. AHKENS
United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-(UP).-
Validity of adoption of the pro-
posed child labor amendment aft
err it's rejection originally by 36
states was questioned last night
in special report of the Ameri-
can Bar association.
The report urged adoption of a
uniform child labor act, in which
enforcement and administration
would be vested in the states.
The amendment, submitted to
the states June 2, 1924, was at
tackled by the bar committee as
granting to congress "new, unlim-
tied and far reaching powers
which would impair the sovereign
ty of the states"
considerable attention has
been directed to the amendment
recently because of the activities
in it's behalf of Secretary of La
Dor Frances Perkins and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace" the report said. "The
committee categorically denies the
validity of the Interpretation
placed on the amendment by cab
met officers in their statements
as to the limited powers it gives
congress. -.
"The agitation for its ratifica-
ton has arisen in spite of the fact
that SO states rejected the amend
ment in the first seven years after
it's proposal. In view of these fig
ures and in view of the fact that
mere than ten years have passed
since the amendment was submit
ted, the committee questions
whether the amendment can be
lawfully adopted"
The report cited supreme court
cases to support its contention
that Gan amendment must be rati-
fed within a reasonable time"
! and proposed as an alternative
! "the amendment be redrafted,
/ limited to present day opinion.
and submitted again to congress-"
; Congress-" the committee said
'then would have the opportunity
to determine if such far-reach-
ing amendment were necessary at
this time"
Under the proposed amendment
congress would have power etc
limit, regulate and prohibit the
labor of persons under eighteen
years"
Citing its "unambiguous Ian,
guage," the committee said:
"The intent, purpose and con-
struction of an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
must be determined by its Ian.
guage, if plain and unambiguous
as evidencing the intent and pur.
pose of it's trainers when proposed

by advocates of ratification years
afterwards.

meaning when first submitted"
The amendment, if passed, the

Slaughter for sale! There is
money in war, big money. There
are huge profits even in incite-
ments to war. Clever statesmen,
Schooled in the subtle school of
that strange old master of the
game, Sir Basil Zaharoff, exert
Machiavellian influences upon
cabinets and chanceileries, buy
up generals, employ spies to
provoke resentment, suspicion
and enmity. One sale creates
another. There is no such thing
as ruinous competition in the
game of munitions murder.
If Frances Schneider-Creusot
sells a large bill of goods to Ru'
mania, Czechoslovakia's Skoda
will sell a larger one to Bull
garia. Machine guns at $14O
apiece. French 75's at $4,000
apiece. Tanks at $25,000 each.
Bombing planes at 100000 a
plane. These are typical items
in the price lists of the astute
gentlemen who go on rubber
heels from capital to capital,
conveying injurious gossip as
we'll as business propositions.
If there is anything clear at
all in the whole muddled world,
it is that something will have to
be done about the munition
makers as war makers if peace
is ever going to come to this
earth. The League of Nations
makes no bones about character
izing the munitions makers OF
Europe for what they are. Here
are six indictments drawn up
by the Leagues temporary
mixed commission:
/. Been active in fomentlng
war scares and in perSuading
their own countries to adopt
warlike policies and to increase
their armamentS.
2. Attempted to bribe govern
ment officials both at home and
abroad.
3. Disseminated false reports
concerning the military and
naval expenditures of various
countries in order to stimulate
armament expenditures.
4. Sought to influence public
opinion through the control OF
newspapers in their own and
foreign countries.
S. Organized in ern ational
armament rings through which
the armamentS race has been
accentuated by playing off one
country against the other.
6. Organized in ern ational
armament trusts which have in
creased the price of ornaments
to governments.
The great arms firms of the
world include Schneider -CreuSot
in france, Mitsui in Japan and
Skoda in Czechoslovakia. They
and their subsidiaries probably
account for most of the worlds
arms productions. Explosives

or supervise motion picture, I
marvel at the success with which
thousands of other people, many
of them in my class, turn out
pictures which actually hang to-
gether, make some sense, and
show up on screen. It amounts
to a phenomenon not without
the suspicion of black magic.
Consider the number of young
people all over the world who
are getting married day in and
day out, for no other reason
than that someone of the oppo-
site sex looks we'll in a green
jersey or sings baritone, and
then tell me that divorce has
reached menacing proportions.
Look at the people in the
Congress or the Chamber of
Deputies or the Parliament in
London and listen to what they
say. The only logical ending to
it all is that the world is headed
for dementiG prGecor, with all
the buildings tumbling down, all
the waterworks shooting up into
the air, and all the citizens
humping into each other with
trays of hot soup.

are Breda in Milan and Ansaldo
in Turin. Their markets are
chiefly Spain and Greece. The
U. S. S. R. exports no arms, but
in 1880 the BolshevikS, fearing
war in the Far East, spent $685.
100000 rubles importing NUM-
tions, and in 1881 251.000, 900, a
serious drain on the five-year-
plan.
More than 80 per cent of the
total arms exports of the world
comes from 10 countries. Great
Britain alone accounted for 1876
per cent of the total world arms
traffic in 1929, 30.5 per cent in
1880, and 1872 per cent in 1881.
Switzerland with 1915 per cent.
France with 7.8 per cent, Italy
with ga per cent, and Belgium
with 4.3 per cent. The great i'm
porting nations are China, In
dia, the British colonies and the
South American republics.
China alone bought Ill per
cent of the worlds exports of
arms in 1881. Germany is for
hidden to export or import n1u-
nitions of war. The arms firms,
extraordinarily interrelated and
intertwined, lace the whole
world in their net.
Krupp, once the great Ger
main arms firm-it employed
10000 men in it's big days-is
supposed to control the Bofors
Ordnance Company in Sweden,
which is affiliated with the
Nobel interests. Krupp has
also connections in Holland
and Switzerland. The arms
companies sell to each side in
any war. They sell to friend
and foe alike.
Pluck a bullet out of the
heart of a British boy shot on
the Northwest frontier of
India, and like as not you will
find it of British make. The
Turks used British cannon to
beat the British at the Dar-
danelleS; British battleships
were sunk by British mines. In
the recent war China bought
more than one third of its
munitions from the country
she was fighting.
Germans are theoretically
"disarmed," but any munitions
expert will name at least forty
German firms that are manu-
featuring arms today or are
ready to do so at a moments
notice. There is money in war.
There is money in fear of war.
The charts in Patriotism,
Limited, show the effect of in
ternational events on munition
shares.
Munitions stocks skyrocketed
on the Paris Bourse from the
time Hitler came to power in
Germany. Previously, on pub
lication of the Macdonald dis
armament scheme, they had
fallen sharply. Later they
wavered when the World Eco
nomic Conference convened;
they scared again when it ad.
journed in failure.
