in the $4,000, o,ooo, 900 public works res
olution, which Is separate from, but
complementary to, the economic Sc
curity bill itself. Employment assur-
ance, the stimulation Of private en1-
ployment and the provision Of public
employment for those -bodied
workers whom private industry can
not yet absorb Is to be solely q re-
sponsibility of the Federal Government
and its major contribution in provid-
ing safeguards against unemployment
It should be noted that this Is the
largest employment program ever con-
sidered in any country. As outlined
by the President, 1t will furnish en-
ployment for able -bodied men now on
relief, and enable them to earn their
support in a decent and socially use
full way. It will uphold morale, as
we'll as purchasing power, and directly
provide jobs for many In private in
dustry who would otherwise have
none.
Insurance Plan Discussed.
For the 80 per cent of our indus
trial workers who are employed, we
propose q system Of unemployment
compensation, or insurance, as 1t is
usually called. In our concern for the
unemployed, we must not overlook
this much larger group who also need
protection.
No one who is now employed can
feel secure while so many of his
fellows anxiously seek work. Unem-
ployment compensation, while it has
distinct limitations which are not al
ways clearly understood, Is particu-
larly valuable for the ordinarily reg
ularly employed industrial worker who
Is laid of for short periods because of
seasonal demands or other minor in
dustrial disturbances. He can, dur
ing this period when he has q rea-
sonable expectation Of returning to
work within a short time. receive
compensation for his loss Of income
for limited period as a definite, con-
tractual right. His standard of nv-
ing need not be undermined, he is not
forced on relief nor must he accept
other work unsuited to his skill and
training.
Unemployment insurance, wherever
1t has been tried, has demonstrated its
value In maintaining purchasing
power and stabilizing business condi-
tions. 1t Is very valuable at the onset
Of depression, and even in the later
stages will serve to carry q part OF
the burden Of providing for the un-
employed. For those who have ex-
hausted their rights to unemployment
benefits and for those who, in any
case. must be excluded from its provi-
sions, We suggest that they be given
employment opportunities on public
work projects. In these two measures,
employment assurance and unemploy-
ment compensation, We have first
and second line Of defense which to-

NEW YORK.-The two 16-inch
guns at Fort Tilden, near Jacob
Riis Park, Rockaway Beach,
Queens, will be fired next week
for the first time in IL years, ac-
cording to tentative Army plans,
it was learned today.
The great guns, which have
been without adequate fire-con-
troll installations until recently
and which have been silenced be-
cause of Army economy measures
and because of the complaints
that followed their proof firing
soon after they were installed,
will hurl six 2,100-pound projec-
tiles some thirteen miles out to
sea, probably next Tuesday.
The firings, the second time
that guns of this size have been
discharged in the New York area,
will be witnessed by Coast Artil-
1ery officers and high Army Off
cialS. The tests are part Of an
arduous summers training for
the Coast Artillerymen who man
the defenses Of New York harbor.

Diametrically opposed policies

ments with trade concessions and
suggested a goods swapping" ar
rangement.
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
had rejected the German proposal
and notified the German govern
ment the United States would be
prepared to conclude a new agree.
ment only in line with the Ameri.
can program.
American officials privately
held little hope Of reconciling
the divergent policies sufficiently
to effect a compromise agree
ment. TO accept the German
proposal would, it was said, neces-
state a complete reversal of the
existing American foreign trade
policy. For Germany to agree
to American terms, likewise, would
necessitate a complete reversal Of
Reichfurhrer Hitler's esent
policy.
Germany insists that If this
country wants Germany to pur.
chase American goods, 1t must
buy from the German nation just
as much as it sells it.
The State Department contends
It cannot agree to purchase from
all foreign nations as much as It
sells them and if it did so in the
case of Germany, it would be in
conflict with the policy Of extend
ing equal treatment to all coun-
tries which do not discriminate
against American trade.
