SlT1he because II Was against the ulou-
ern ideals of English workingmen to
further any war between any two
countries.
During the intervening years the
anti-war sentiment in English labor
circles has increased, and one year
ago the British Trade Unionists voted
to invoke a general strike as pro-
test against their country's participa-
ton in any war. Last week when the
organization met at Weymouth, it re-
versed this policy on the ground that
il would be Intellectual as long as
there was no binding agreement be-
tween the organized workers OF all
countries. The British Trade Union
lists, however, reiterated their pledge
to work for international peace.
As a result of the Investigations
now being conducted in Washington
under the direction of Senator Gerald
P. Nye who is revealing some of the
hitherto mysterious manipulations of
American munitions firms. it is
thought that a similar shake-up is
being prepared in England; if it
comes about, it will be supported by
the labor groups.
Theology a la Deutschland.
At Nuremberg the immense Nazist
mass meeting has run its course, and
Adolf Hitler, Leader of the German
nation, has assured his hundred thou
sands of listeners that all is we'll
with Germany; everything is just fine.
and the German people can take care
of itself in spite of threatening star
walton and a boycott movement now
in progress. Foreign economists, on
the other hand, declare that Germany
is facing its most terrible winter be-
cause its trade has practically
stopped, the Reichsbank reserves are
depleted, foreign credits just about
exhausted.
Such pesSimistic statements do not
reach the ears of the loyal Hitler fol-
lowers; they are simply being told
that everything is lovely"-and on
top of that they get dose of ultra
modern German theology, for in
stance in the words of Paul Orlowski,
one of Hitler's advisers, who says:
The mother of Christ was a
Jewess; His father most certainly was
not Jew, and this racial mixture eX-
plains much of what is confusing and
contradictory in Christ's teachings
If anyone tells us that we shall not
go to heaven, We shall answer that it
would be extremely obnoxious for us
to be there to breathe the same air
as the Old Testament fathers

modern civilization is corrupt as a re-
suit of Jewish influence, and Hitler
himself declared that woman has
no place in political life: That idea"
he said, "is a result of degenerate
Jewish intellectualism." He then pro-
ceeded to develop the thought that
woman has only one mission in life,
and that is to give birth to children.
A few days earlier Benito Mussolini,
prime minister of Italy, likewise
ruled women out of public life. Die
tators love women who pay strict at
tention to their own business-that Of

Industrial Production.
In the current issue of the League
of Nations Monthly Bulletin of Sta
tistics some highly Illuminating fig
ures are to be found in connection
with the industrial production of the
world today; the statistical tables
proceed from an index of 100 in the
year of 192S-the year before the
actual outbreak of the international
economic crisis.
Assuming, then, that the produc-
ton was 100 in 1923, Japan's indus
trial production for 1894 is given as
1898; Chile's as 1856; Norway, Ill;
Sweden, 1917; Great Britain, 1898.
In other words, these five nations
are the only ones who are above what
was considered normal industrial pro-
duction in 1928, the figures for 1894
being based, principally, on reports
for May or June.
Below the norm Of 100 were the
following countries:
Hungary, 900; Germany, SS.5; Italy,
$50; Canada, sos; France, rs; United
States, 77.5; Czecho-Slovakia, 1874;
Belgium, 702; Austria, 6S.1, and Po-
land, 62.1.
Thus it will be seen that the larg-
est number of the countries reporting
are still way below normal in the
field of industrial production; it does
not escape attention that the pro-
duction of the United States is 22.5
below the normal of 1928, being given
as us.
Since the publication of the League
statistics there has been reported
gradual increase in unemployment
figures in many countries; up-to-the-
minute American statistics on the un-
employment situation here are not
available for the curious reason that
the United States, one of the greatest
of all industrial countries, has no Of
fetal labor statistics. What becomes
known from time to time emanates
from the American Federation of
Labor, some groups of employers, and
in the form of estimates sent out by
the federal Department of Labor.
Austrian Outlook.
Early this week reports were heard
to the effect that the prospects of
Archduke Otto becoming king or en-
