NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Alfred p.

the following announcement:
A $50, 100000 fund has been set
aside by General Motors for use
in an experimental effort to bet
ter stabilize employment and to
make possible increased annual
earnings for automobile workers,
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president, said
yesterday.
The additional economic Secur'
ity, which it is hoped to establish,
will carry far beyond the ranks OF
our own workers into those OF al
lied industries which depend upon
us so Importantly. Thus is quick
ened the tempo Of national ousl-
ness recovery.
The fund will be devoted chiefly
to building up inventories, largely
of component parts, so that the
rate of factory operations can be
maintained steadily throughout
the year. Investments have been
made in warehouses for the stor-
age of such parts. Working sched-
ules will be adjusted as far as
possible in an attempt to give the
greatest regularity of employment
to the maximum number of work.

The earlier introduction of new
cars, it is hoped, will provide sub
stantially more employees with
more regular work and higher an
nual earnings than would be pos
Sible otherwise.

Troublesome times ahead were

With the League Of Nations
drastic economic sanctions against

ing for oil and coal to be added
to the trade embargo list, the
problem Of American trade with
italy under such circumstances
threatened to cause a few fur

The disposition on the part OF
this Government to prevent Amer
ican trade from interfering seri-
ously with the effectiveness Of
League sanctions against Italy
was still clearly manifest.
Problem for u. s.
However, just how this might
be accomplished was something
the state Department had not yet
worked out-and did not relish
the prospect Of attempting to
work out.
On November 18 the most
severe trade restrictive measures
ever imposed by a group Of ma
tions upon another nation with
which they are not actually at

against Italy.
On that date, nearly so nations
will officially boycott Italian
goods, will prohibit financial
transactions between their respec-
tive nationals and Italians, and
will prohibit the shipment to Italy
of a list of "key" war supply pro-
ducts.

For some time during the close OF
the second year Of their marriage the
belief had become general that things
weren't going Just as they should be-
