is the final camera shooting.
In the meantime large grama-

him is dead and that she loves an

Roosevelt's recovery program brought
sound and very substantial prog
ress."
He asserted that never in one year
have individual States passed so much
progressive legislation. Andrews de-
clared he was not sure that the short
er work week has by itself contributed
to American recovery.
The recovery was ascribed by the
American delegate as due to the COM
bination of several factors. including
the maintenance or increase in earn
tngs. fair trade practices. production
and control in agriculture and public
works, all calculated to increase pur-
chasing power.
Andrews emphasized that the work
of the Labor Bureau was most help
