Trading
Crack Down
Threatened
Roosevelt May Use Big
Stick on American
Exporters.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The
Roosevelt Administration is start
ing to "crack down" on foreign
traders and American concerns who
persist in exporting war supplies
TO Italy in defiance of the govern
ment's neutrality policy.
This information came to the
United Press from an unimpeach-
able source. 1t followed closely
upon Secretary Cordell Hull's Off
cial listing of oil. copper, trucks,
tractors, scrap iron and scrap steel
as essential war materials, al
though not actually arms, ammuni-
ton or implements of war" as de-
fined by the neutrality law and the
Presidents embargo on arms ship
ments to Italy and Ethiopia.
Until recently, the Administration
limited itself to the moral persua-
sion of warnings and admonitions to
American foreign traders.
Government reports compiled
since the embargo and the various
warnings were issued by the Presi-
dent and Hull show that exports to
Italy of oil, particularly, have in
creased heavily, and that exports of
copper, trucks, tractors, scrap iron
and steel have increased to lesser
extent.
With this indication that mere
warnings were not sufficient, the
government has begun to wave the
big stick" the United Press was
informed. And it is a financial
big stick"
This weapon is considered espe-
cially applicable to steamship oper-
ators who owe the government large
sums for their ships and have notes
coming due periodically. The gov
eminent, it was said, would not be
inclined to be lenient in the re-
newal of notes of ship operators who
persist in violating the Administra-
TONS neutrality policy.

DETROIT, Nov. 16-A wage con-
troversy resulted in a strike today
of approximately 1900 employees at
the Motor Products Corporation
plant, which manufacturers key
products in the automobile indus

The Importance of the strike lies
in the fact that the company

If the strike becomes universal

BY selling this power they would
accomplish a threefold objective.
They would advance the economy
of abundance by putting electricity
within easy reach of both industry
and agriculture.
They would put IVA eventually
on a sound business basis and make
it self-supporting by the sale of
power.
BY their experience they would
learn the precise cost of the manu-
facture and distribution of power,
thus furnishing for the rest of the
nation the now-famous "yardstick'
whereby the fairness of rates
charged by private utilities might
be checked.

IA panies in the circle of states
around the IVA have slashed their
rates by $751; 600, 900 annually. This
sum is a fair deduction to make
from the S48. 600. 900 annual cost of
IVA. BY next year the effects of
the dams on floods will be felt with
a savings to taxpayers of many mill
lions.
Another permanent profit to the
nation is in the rehabilitation of
soil. The Tennessee Valley has a
very heavy rainfall-from so to so
inches a year. TfAs was once the
regions greatest asset, but through
ignorant and selfish farming and
forestry it has become a serious
liability.
A million acres of formerly rich
land in the Valley have become
desert waste due to water erosion,
The topsoil is gone. The fields are
quilted until they look like Verdun
in 1918. They will neither support
life nor pay taxes. IVA is scien-
tifcally restoring this great acre
age to the people.
National defense is still another
lasting investment IVA represents.
The Valley contains unusual facili-
ties for the manufacture of NUM-
tons and other army supplies. AT
the same time its natural defenses
make invasion extremely difficult

One hears many stories-some
probably apocryphal-but all illus
trating this point. 1t is said that
during the early months of iva,
any applicant bearing a letter from
a Congressman or politician was
barred from a job. Since nearly
every one presented such a letter
as a routine matter some difficulty
was at first experienced in building
the organization.
Later this policy was changed and
now a letter from a PUBIC ONCE
holder carries as much, and no
more, weight than a recommended
ton from any reputable private
citizen.
Every employee, from pick-and-
shovel man to executive, is investi-
gated infinitely and is literally hand
picked. The personnel department
has scouts out on the road seeking
promising men and women. 1t was
the activities of one of these that
led the Ohio Chamber of Commerce
to make the erroneous charge that
IVA was trying to steal Ohio in
dustries.
