in attempts to discourage Americans
from selling secondary materials of
war, such as cotton, iron, oil and
copper, to that country.
Right Of Trade Upheld.
He upheld, however, the right Of
Americans to carry on this trade, and
denounced administration policy as
without foundation in law.
Until Congress itself passes a sup
Elementary act declaring an embargo
on cotton, oil, copper and such ma

Step by step, there is being created
a body of precedents whereby the en-

In reply to a question by Magnusson,
he declared the United States did not
remain out of the World War because

To the objection of Hallgren that it

Simonds admitted the economic price

Sanctions Held Anticipated.
He accused the Government of an
ticipating sanctions of the League. and
insisted that in order to remain neutral
this country must abandon the general
belief that our presence is needed in
international affairs to supervise other
nations behavior.
The speaker denounced the League
verdict branding Italy criminal ma

only rally all Italians, Fascists and
anti-Fascists alike to the Italian cause.
He charged communism is the logical
consequence of the destruction Of Italy
by sanctions, and cited the existence
of National Socialism in Germany as
the result Of the sanctions" taken
against her in the war and subsequent
peace treaty.
"You must destroy people to impose
your will upon them," he said, "and
when you have not destroyed them
you have not convinced them they

erages, on which the official figures
are based), you will get an entirely
different answer. Figuring 1929 as
100 for all three, you will find that
production during this year has aver
aged around 73 per cent normal, en-
ployment rs per cent and pay rolls So
per cent.
Thus. on 1929 base, you find that
existing employment is even nearer
normal than production, and the dis
parity of both with pay rolls is les
sened.
These figures do not mean that
there has been no replacement of
workers by machines. Nor do they
indicate that the recent increase in
number of employables has been over
estimated.
What they seem to say clearly is
that an improvement in durable goods
industries is needed as much as an
N. r. A. to correct the existing dis
parity in employment and pay rolls.
Also they scream the fact that the
status Of chronological unemploy-
ment and of increasing employables
has been stressed too much.
