mo basis" for reports that the United
States Government was contemplating
inviting Japanese statesmen to meet
President Roosevelt in Hawaii next
July.
Several Japanese-language news
papers, however. with official encour-
agement, are keeping alive the idea OF
a possible meeting between Roosevelt
and Foreign Minister Koki Hirota in
Honolulu to discuss Japanese-Amer-
lean issues, primarily naval ones.
To persistent queries from japanese
newspaper men Hirota replied today:
IF such an invitation comes might
consider it." and added jestingly:
Hawaii Is a nice place"
Conversations in oficial quarters
produce the conviction that the for
eign of1lce would welcome such an in
vitation. Although offlcial information
has reached Toxic that the Presidents
tour is to be purely recreational and
non-political, a foreign office spokes-
man refused to admit the door was
closed.

to this time the United States Govern
ment has not contemplated any such
invitation" intimating that future de-
velopments could not be predicted.

ter. Kathleen Parret, Is, who were
walking home from church. As they

WE|RTON HEARING
TOBE HELD SEPT.5
Steel Firm Says Union Tries
to Intimidate Its Wit
neSSeS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, June l3.-
Federal District Court today nxed
September for the hearing on the
petition of the Government asking
permanent injunction restraining the
Weirton Steel Co. from interfering
with the election of collective bar
gaining representatives by its en-
ployes.
On May 90 Judge John p Nields
refused the Government temporary
Injunction on the ground it was with
out Jurisdiction to do so in such cases
unless the testimony Of witnesses Is
heard in open court.
Earl F. Reed. counsel for the COM
pany, told Judge Nields in today's
action that letters, written on station
cry of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, and
whose evident purpose was one OF in
timidation, had been received by sew
eral of the company's prospective wit
neSses.
Union Interest Claimed.
Robert H. Richards, colleague of
Reed, said the letters were signed by
officers of the union. He pointed out
that back of the Government the
real party in interest is the Anal
gamated Union" The union seeks to
organize Weirton employees.
In reply to these assertions, James
L. Fly of counsel for the Government
made it clear the real party in interest
in bringing the suit is the United
States Government.
IF the law is being violated" he
asserted in reference to the letters,
at is the duty of the Department of
Justice to see that the remedy is ap-
piled.
I'VE represent the Government as
a whole in an effort to require COM
pliance with a Federal law. Should
relief be given, it would not auto
matically give power into the hands OF
any but the Federal Government.
The purpose is to enable employees to
have an unfettered right to select
their representatives in dealing with
the management"
Counsel Declines Move.
Judge Nields told Richards he might
make a motion concerning the letters,
but the Weirton counsel said he would
not take any action at present, adding
he has confidence in the Government
to act.
Judge Nields' decision in last months
action was given after hearing argu-
ment for five days, based on afidavits
presented by each side.
In these affdavits the Government
charged coercion and intimidation on
the part of the Weirton management
to assure the election of represent
atives favorable to company policies.
The company submitted a large
number of affidavits denying the
allegations of the Government.
Judge Nields in his decision also
stated that the question of the con-
stitutionality of the national indus
trial recovery act was raised by the
Weirton company and that these "is-
sues of the gravest importance" should
be determined only after a final hear
ing.

IN TRADE IS SEEN
Peek Reports to Roosevelt
on Study of SO Years of
Foreign Commerce.
Nv the Associated Press.

George N. Peek, In a report to Presi-
dent Roosevelt on study covering
the past SO years of Americas foreign
trade, asserted today the trend has
been cumulatively disadvantageous to
U.s."
Peek, special adviser on foreign
trade to the President, advocated
creation of a balance sheet between
this country and the rest Of the world.
On 1t would be placed in black and
white the trade balances with each
country.
He declared imports and exports
must balance in the long run. On the
basis of the past SO years, he asserted.
the world is in debt to us for goods"
in the amount Of $36,646, 600, 900.
Adds s22,645, ,OOo, 900 to Debt.
Adding in governmental and private
loans to Europe during the war and
subtracting investments made by for
eigners in this countr-'. Peek added
another $22,645. .000. 900 to the debt
owned this country by the world OF
this he said:
Our national assets will be dimin-
ished by the amount of this debt
which is not paid"
Pointing to figures from 1896 to
1893, inclusive, he said:
In our International commercial
relations we have not utilized the
simple device Of a balance sheet to
discover whether we have been doing
business at a profit or at a loss. I"
During the periods covered by the
figures these exports and imports have
been grossly out of balance; never
theless, we have pointed with pride
to our favorable balance Of trade
He set down the following table for
the 38 years:
The United States sold to the world
goods valued at $12l,250, ,000, 900.
The United States bought from
the rest of the world goods valued at
SS4, ,6o4. .oo0.o 90.
S36,646, ,000, 200 Owed TO U. S.
These transactions place the world
in debt to the United States for goods
in the amount of S36,646, 900, 900.
Peek analyzed the figures to show
that the value of American imports
of goods is less than 70 per cent of
our export. AS against export excess,
Peek concludes, we must in fairness
deduct 19,429, ,00o.00 spent abroad by
American tourists and sent abroad by
immigrants, charitable organizations
and others, which would leave the
United States with favorable" trade
balance of s17,217, 900, 900.
The President had no immediate
comment other than to say in letter
to Peek that the figures were ''of tre-
mendous interest" to him. He sug-
gested they be made public.
At the end of Peek's study he
analysed the three years from 1890 to
1888, termed by him ''the defiation
period" to show that the world owed
us in goods 1881 100000 for this
time
Figuring in services rendered by US
to the world tourist money spent
abroad, debt payments and invest.
! ments, Peek estimated that this four
year period actually decreased the debt
owed this country by the world by
about 81 1,768, ,000, 900.
Report Disproved Theory.
President Roosevelt, commenting
later at his press conference, said
that while the report was a prelim-

mary estimate and subject to change
it seemed to disprove the theory that
the United States had made a great
amount of money from its interna-
tional trade.
Mr.. Roosevelt said Peek had made
no concrete suggestions to him for
the new approach to international
trade" mentioned in the report. He
feels the statistics are chiefly valuable
as basis for further detailed study
The President said no consideration
had yet been given to the Peek figures

be conducted under the administra-
tons new reciprocal trading act.
