Trip To Russia May Result In Alaska Development
BUSINESS RECOVERY NOW 
 EQUALS l93l
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 NEW YORK, Dec. 12 -(Copright) Statisticians who calculated the pro- gress of business recovery, find in most respects, this year is the best since 1891, and in some respects the best year since 193O.
 In the final months of the year, industriaal production seems to be close to where it was at this time last@year.
 The years totals in most lines however, show substantial gains over lost year This is due partly to the extremely low levels to which business fell early last year coincident with the banking crisis.
 Perhaps the most striking gains for the year have been in sales and the consumption of goods, even in semi-luxury products. This was at tributed to the restoration of the farm purchasing power.

REPORT CITES
6 WAYS To END
WORLDSLUMP

NEW YORK. Nov. 26 GN.S).
In a report made after a years
study and hearings in many
cities, the Commission of Inquiry
into National Policy in Interna-
tional Economic Relations today
recommended to the United States
Government six major proposals
designed to further world recov-
cry and world peace by internal
action in this country.
The Commission, headed by DR..
Robert M. Hutchins. youthful
president of the University of
Chicago, urged the Government
to take as rapid and dramatic
action as possible" to reverse the
trend toward economic isolation
and to break down barriers to
international trade.
The report recommended the
following major proposals:
Adoption of political meas.
ures, such as immediate settle
ment of war debts, to relieve
the distrust and tension now
prevalent in the world.
Removal of tariffs where no
unemployment would rest, and
lowering of other tariffs subject
to proper safeguards.
Announcement by the Presi-
dent that he does not intend
to exercise his present powers
to change the gold content Of
the dollar.
Granting by Congress Of
wider powers to the tariff COM
mission.
Freedom from governmental
restrictions on foreign long.
term private loans.
Abandonment at the earliest
possible moment of all meas
ures tending to restrict agri-
cultural exports.
In its report on the war debt,
the commission said:
1--WE do not believe that the
interests of the United States
require any payment. Since,
however, some countries desire
to pay something, We recon-
mend the appointment Of a
commission with full power to
effect settlements"

FACTORY ROLLS
ON NUPTREND
BY International News Service

~S AHVoEhALOhAA MOVIE SoENICe
Factory employment and pay
rolls increased between the middle
Of September and the middle Of
October in substantial volume,
the Federal Reserve Board an
nounced today.
Sharp increases were reported
at mills producing textile fabrics,
while in the automobile, shoe
and canning industries there
were seasonal declines.
The volume of industrial pro-
duction and employment usually
shows little change at this sea-
son. However, owing to activities
brought about by tremendous
Government spending, there were
increases in October. Resump-
ton of activities at textile mills,
following the strike, were partly
responsible.
Wholesale commodity prices,
after declining in September and
October, advanced in the first
half Of November.

TREATY FACES
STIFF FIGHT
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

international News Service
A new st. Lawrence waterway
treaty, eliminating many of the
material objections to the pact
rejected by the Senate last spring,
is being negotiated by the Amer
lean and Canadian Governments.
Contrary to American rumors,
the new pact will be materially
different from the one submitted
to the last Senate. 1t will face
just as stiff opposition as the
original treaty, but the fight may
develop over secret agreements,
rather than on the local issues
previously raised.
Changes Listed
Among the changes will be:
l. An outright declaration Of
American sovereignty over Lake
Michigan.
2. A release of the American
Government from sole response
bility for excess costs, which
might reach $500,000, 900.
3. Elimination of all refer
ence to the flow of water at
Chicago for the drainage canal
there.
These changes might pacify the
opposition of Illinois, whose Sen
ators, Messrs. Lewis and Die
terich, led the successful battle
to defeat the first pact. Senator
Lewis declined to say whether ne
would support or fight the new
treaty until he has had chance
to study the complete agreement.
Canadian Snag Seen
The treaty probably will be at
tackled as being but a part OF
great commercial agreement with
Canada, the other provisions OF
which will be kept secret until
the waterway pact is ratified.
There are rumorS that the
Canadian parliament might not
ratify the waterway treaty. One
report said the Canadians were
not as eager now to outlay the
necessary Canadian funds.
In any event, real battle over
the new treaty can be expected.
The first pact was rejected As to
AZ, which showed the proponents
were 13 votes shy of ratification.
