What's What
Behind News
In Capital
u. S. Chart Shows Fac.
tory Employment and
Wages Improving.
BY PAUL MALLON.

= ONE of those sharp-sighted Wall
Street seers could use. some
new glasses. AS they always see
~ it, the only business in this
country is making steel and the
other durable goods.
Statistics of these industries are
stressed so much that you rarely see
any others played up or adequately
considered. Consequently, when steel
started slipping a few weeks ago, the
stock market went down with 1t, and
the general impression is broadcast
that the whole national Spring busi-
ness rise has gone flooey.
If you look at balanced chart Of
business statistics, you can see. with
out any glasses, that such a view
point is slightly out Of focus.
The Governments private chart Of
business shows that factory employ.
ment, wages, carloadings and depart
ment store sales have shown a con-
slant extra seasonal improvement in
the past three months. Even build.
ing contracts have improved incon-
sequentially and prices have re-
manned stable.

ment, when he enumerated the speed
and volume Of gold Withdrawals from
the national bank-withdrawals total
ing 5000, ,000. 900 francs since October,
1894, with soaring Withdrawals dur
ing the present month.
The government assured bank de-
positors that all deposits would be pro-
tected against all contingencies. It
was announced that deposits would
not be lost or reduced, and that, If
necessary, the government would sup
port the banks with a national
guarantee.
Concerning the foreign policy, the
premier said that commercial relations
with Russia would be strengthened on
q reciprocal basis and the government
was disposed, according to the way
this program progressed, to recognize
the Soviet government.
Regarding home affairs, Van Iceland
said the government would take up the
problem Of the unemployed en-
ergetically and would improve the
country's standard of living. -.
He concluded his address with an
appeal to all parties and factions to
support the governments work OF

Treasury officials declined to COM

FRANC0-U. S. TAX
TREATY APPROVED
ENDS Double Taxation of Amer.
~ ican Firms After Concessions
by United States.
By the Associated Press.

- PARIS, March 29.-The Franco
American treaty to end double taxa
ton of American firms with French
branches. long pending before Parlia-
ment, needed only the signature of
President LebrIn today to complete
its ratification.
E The exact application of the treaty
Is still somewhat in doubt, however.
The Senate, in approving 1t, ap-
pended O proviso that 1t should be-
come effective only after the negotia-
ton of additional tax concessions in
favor Of French citizens residing In
the United States.
a, The treaty. which has been hanging
fire for several months. was drawn up
by Walter z. Edge when he was
United States Ambassador to France,
and Andre Tardieu, French premier
at that time.
Frances double taxation regulations
caused all foreign corporations doing
business In France to be assessed 16
to IS per cent on that part OF their
dividends ascribed to French opera

BILL INTRODUCED

Senator Harrison Says
Business and Labor Should
Know Plans.

and the courage to organize for the
first time
The second objective OF N. r. A.,
Green said, was to increase consumer
purchasing power While testifying
there was much to be done in this
direction, the labor leader asserted
emphatically that what has already
been accomplished in lifting minimum
(wage) rates out of the depths to
which they had been driven in 1882
and 1888 is a real achievement
The third fundamental stressed by
Green was an increase in employ
ment by about 100000 persons But
he said the work week of 40 hours
fixed by most codes was too long"
Comparisons Made.
Comparing code and pre-code con-
ditioffS, Green said that if the N. R. A.
were not continued I'VE should return
at once to a situation in which some
men worked 10, 80 or 80 hours per
week, while others searched diligently
and desperately for work which they
could not find"
Green said the fourth objective of
N. r. A. was fairer working condi-
tions. through elimination of child la
Dor and the elimination of unfair
labor practices.
He said an outstanding achievement
of the Blue Eagle unit was destruction
of child labor and that it had also
gone a long way toward the elimina-
ton of the intolerable sweatshop con-
ditions"
The labor spokesman denied N. r.
A. had been harmful to small busi-
ness contending there is no founda-
ton to any general statement that the
small enterprise is operating at dis
advantage"
Compliance Complaints.
One of the chief complaints against
N. r. A., Green conceded. was its
failure to achieve full compliance with
code provisions, but he contended
compliance could be secured through
self organization Of workers.
"As soon as workers are really free
to organize they will see to it." he
said, that unscrupulous employers do
not take Unfair advantage either of
their employees or of their competi-
tors"
Green protested vigorously against
the recommendation of Richberg that
some service codes be dropped from
N. r. A.
That must not be-" he said. II
cannot pe too emphatic in my state
ment that the ~ R. A. must cover all
workers-there are between 1000, 900
and 100000 men and women en-
ployed in the so-called service trades.
They are among the most exploited
and poorly paid groups Of workers in
this entire country

URBANA, ILL.,, March 20 @.-The
true goal of economic planning must

This goal can be reached by the
restoration of confidence in the power
of individuals to use their God given
