If these two central principles could
be firmly grasped there would be a
great deal less heard Of the argument
that revival and reform are conflict
ing objectives and that pursuit of re-
form at the present time will burden
the course of revival. 1t has been
said that business should have a.
chance to recover" from the legis-
lation of the last year. believe that
it is just this legislation which has
promoted recovery after the dismal
failure of letting things alone, and
that continued adherence to bold and
systematic action cannot burden us
in the slightest Nor is it a burden
upon our attempts to drive the eco
nomic machine to the top of the hill
when we insist that all parts of the
machine should be well oiled and
functioning in perfect coordination.
If we decree otherwise the engine
may stall again and we may roll back
into the valley.
Bearing in mind this analogy be-
tween our intricate and interdepend-
ent economic structure and a single
machine, we shall avoid also the mis-
taken notion that reform is designed
to place additional burdens upon spe-
cial groups or to favor one interest
at the expense of another. To take
concrete illustration, increasing
wages sufficiently to create a ready
market for factory goods does not
handicap industry. On the contrary,
it stimulates business. For too long
we have pursued the self-contradic-
tory policy of producing goods and
curtailing demand. We have tried to
sell abroad without Strengthening the
foreign market by buying abroad. We
have tried to dispose Of more and
more goods at home without bolster

United States Senator from New York.
g INDUSTRIAL revival is well under
way. Persons schooled in statis-
tics read the signs in rising in
i dices of business activity and in
recent wage increases initiated
by some of our key industries. Those
of us who are more susceptible to in
tangibles note the enlivened counte-
nances and hopeful manner of the
average run of people.
Despite these pleasing developments
we must remember that only the fool
hardy runner slackens his pace ere
the goal is crossed. More than g.
100000 persons remain unemployed,
while pay rolls and production are far
below the level of 1926. More impor-
tant, we have only begun to perfect
the reforms which will forestan the
repetition of hard times and establish
more equitable prosperity than we
knew even during the boom years.
The core of these reforms may be
stated very summarily. Years ago we
believed that the reckless and chaotic
conduct of industry was the road to
progress, and that the disastrous dips
of the business cycle were incompre-
hensible and inevitable. Today, as
the first principle of reform, we in
tend to manage the system rather
than to be victimized by it. We rec
ognize our ability to promote a fair
measure of industrial stability if we
have the will and the perseverance to
do so. Our second reform principle
is that the chief method of insuring
this stability is by balancing the vari-
GUS interests in our economic society,
particularly by equalizing the produc-
ton of goods and the flow of income
to those who must consume the major
portion Of our output.

Russia Will Call u. S.
By Right Name at Last

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.-After being
referred to by Russians from time
immemorial as "The North American
United States" the United States is
now being called by its right name,
The United States of America"
Credit for this pleasant reform goes
to Spencer Williams, secretary of the
Moscow branch of the Russian Amer
ican Chamber of Commerce, who is
known as stickler for facts. His
dissatisfaction with the old misnomer
was finally vented in a letter to Tass,
official Russian news agency, in which
he exposed his views. Tass, seeing
the point, in turn passed on the sug-
gestion to all Russian newspapers,
with the result that they all adopted
the reform overnight.

A." has simultaneously changed from

ing our own market by a sufficient
volume of wages.
I believe that most people today
appreciate the major Importance of
balancing production and consump-
tion. AS an indication of this, there
never was serious opposition to the
minimum wage provisions of the
codes under the recovery act. But
the codes were not intended to take
away from business management the
permanent aspects of this problem.
They were designed merely to move
industry off dead center when it had
reached so low a point that it could
not take the initiative Now that
the f1ywheel has been set in motion,
it is the duty of industry and labor to
speed it up and to keep it steady.
Implements Recovery Act.
Unhampered cooperation between
employers and workers must rest
upon equality of bargaining power.
Industry's newly won right to unite
must be matched by labor's right to
bargain collectively. and 1t is to pro-
tect this second right, which is the
only one threatened with opposition,
that have introduced my labor dis
putes bill
This bill is not designed to estab-
lish dominant national union, nor
even to induce or influence employees
to join any labor organization. 1t
does not prescribe any mold into
which the collective activities of en-
ployes should be cast. It merely re-
asserts in clearer terms and affords
adequate sanctions for the provisions
of the recovery act that employees
shall be free from coercion and re-
straint in self-organization and in
bargaining through representatives Of
their own choosing.

1t is commonly avowed American
principle that one should not and
cannot serve two masters. The union
which is controlled by the employer,
which cannot alter its laws of life
and action without the employers
consent, and which must choose its
spokesmen according to the en-
ployer's terms, cannot represent fully
the interests of the workers. I am
sure that the average citizens sense
of fair play Is not satisfied when
one of the parties sits at both sides
of the table across which a collective
bargain is drawn.
I have keen sense of the neces-
sity of continuing the friendly rela-
tionS that prevail between employers
and workers In the vast majority of
American industries. I affirm the
right of the individual worker to
deal directly with his employer when
he desires to do so. I admit the
right Of employees to organize on
independent or plant-unit bases if
that is their wish. I realize that in
some factories the workers may de-
eide that there is no need for Or
ganization at all.
Principles Common in Europe.
Contrary to widely circulated mis-
representations, none of these salu-
tary principles is disturbed by the
labor disputes bill. 1t merely insures
for workers the right to determine
their own policies as to whether or
not they want any organization. To
say that this interferes with friendly
industrial relations is equivalent to
saying that employers should not be
allowed to choose their own foremen
or personnel managers or spokesmen,
unless one wants to admit that in

Italian Court Rules
Cardinal Can Be Sued

ROME, Italy.-Cardinals while in
Italian territory enjoy the status of
princes of the royal blood, but do not
have diplomatic immunity and, there
fore, may be sued in Italian courts,
the civil section of the Rome tribunal
held in a decision recently.
The cardinal involved was Donate
Cardinal Sharretti, whose automobile
knocked down Armando Cortini, an
engineer, in Via Flaminia. Cortini
sued for 10000 lire damages, but
Sharretti claimed Italian courts have
no jurisdiction over cardinals. He ad-
vanced the added argument that he
was attached to the holy Office. The
court replied that only the premises
of the holy Office, not the persons
who live and work there, are i'm
mune. Judgment was reserved.

TWO CLAIMS PACTS
SIGNED BY DANIELS
Agreements Call for Settlement
Of More Than 900 Million
in Damages.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO, D. F., April 26.-Two
agreements for settlement of United
States Mexican claims, totaling more
than S9OO,0O0,OO0, were signed Tues
day on behalf of the two governments
and the Mixed Claims Commission.
Josephus Daniels, American Am
bassador, who signed the important
documents, left for a vacation in the
United States Tuesday night, carry
ing copies of them.
The success of Daniels in reaching
the agreements, which are expected
to lead to a solution Of the principal
remaining diplomatic problem be-
tween the two nations, was hailed as
revealing his prowess as a negotiator.
Some Of the claims involved date
back to 1867.
The first Of the agreements pro-
vides for an en- bloc payment by
Mexico of claims classified as special
and which were made by Americans
to recover damages suffered during
the revolution of 1910-1920. These
claims amount to approximately
$400,000,000.
If the agreement Is ratified by the
Senates of both countries, a repre-
sentative will be appointed by each
government to pass final judgment
on the merits of the claims, which
Mexico has agreed to pay on per-
centage basis. The amount of the
percentage was not made public.
Under the second agreement, each
nation will appoint an outstanding
national jurist for examination and
appraisal within two years of gen.
eral claims Of citizens Of the two
countries. These amount to approx
mately $3.50, 100000 claimed by Ameri-
cans and $500, ,0Q0, 900 by Mexicans.

 Contains Many Familiar Airs
 The opera is in three acts, with two scenes in the last. It begins with the exquisite prelude which is one of the most beautiful creations of Wagner's genius, establishing the mood for what is to follow. In the first act are such familiar numbers as Elsa's Dream and Lohengrin's Farewell to the Swan, as well as magnificent ensembles.
 In the second act is the dramatic scene between Ortrud and Telra- mund, Elsas aria, the duet be- tween Elsa and Ortrud and all the pomp and circumstance of the great procession to the church.N
 The third act opens with that mdSnlHCenL lntfOQuctlOn, QeSCrlp- tive of the wedding festivities, which leads directly into the bridal chorus, familiarly known as the "Wedding March from Lohengrin." :" Here also in the first scene is the very beautiful duet of Lohengrin and Elsa while in the final scene is heard Lohengrin's Narrative and his Farewell to his bride.
 It is one of the curious facts of musical history that while "Lohen- grin" was produced in Weimar in 1850 Wagner did not hear it until 1861, for during all those years he was in political exile from Ger many.
 Fly colleagues in tomorrow's per- formance will be Lauritz Melchior, Lohengrin; Gustav Schutzendorf, Telramund; Maria Olszewska, Or trud; Emanuel List, King Henry; and George Cehanowsky, the Her aid. Artur Bodanzky will be the conductor.
