U.s.. CHAMBER HITS
NEW DEAL $ TREND
Coming ParIey to Attack
Alleged Intrusion Into
Business.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new attack against what critics
call Government intrusion in busi-
ness" was predicted in official quar-
tiers today as a probable outcome Of
the convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, April
20 to May 2.
A high official, who would not be
quoted by name, said that altnougn
business has always opposed Govern
ment interference, many executives
feel currents now in motion fore
shadow operations by the Federal
power far greater than ever before.
An indication of the importance
of this topic was given in the cham
ber's Washington Review, published
today.
Curb to Be Planned.
"One Of the major concerns Of
business today" the Review said. is
the encroachment Of Government into
the business field as competitor Of
private enterprise.
THE actual intrusion that already
has taken place and the threat Of
further activity of this character is
one of the main causes of present
business uncertainty.
"The forthcoming meeting can be
expected to define proper limitations
upon government in business and to
give occasion for renewed efforts to
protect business against this kind Of
unfair competition.
The chambers convention this
year, the thirty-third annual meeting,
is viewed as particularly important
because of the legislation in Congress
directly affecting business.
New Difficulties Seen.
"Much of the discussion" the
weekly review noted. will center upon
governmental policies and pending
legislative proposals which look to
modification of long established prin-
cipleS.
What effect consequent readjust-
ments will have on our business
structure, and to what extent the
course of business must be altered to
conform to them, will be considered.
Legislation now before Congress
proposes changes in banking, public
utilities, transportation, mining, ag-
ricultural processing and the dis
tributive trades. Measures are under
consideration which would produce
new difficulties between employer and
employe."

The newspaper, according to Sir
Willmott, should prove q valuable
supplement to education in the school
and the home.
Declares Parents Hold Key.
II believe there are tendencies in
the newspapers of your country and
mine" he said, which are definitely
unhealthy where youthful readers are
concerned. But, after all, to isolate
the press Is unfair, to attribute to the
newspapers effects which might be
corrected by the home and the school
Is to exaggerate. The key to the
problem Of youth Is the parent, and
the parent Is the subscriber of the
newspaper. ANY people will get the
government 1t deserves, and by the
same token the press 1t deserves.
There Is cause for pride that so many
newspapers In America and England
are what they are, just as there is
| cause for disquiet that the forces of
commercialism have so powerfully in
vaded the press to its harm"

THE German government contests
to the governments which in the
Council of the League of Nations
took in the deliberations of April II
the right of making themselves Judge
over Germany. The government sees
in the deliberation of the Council

The government reserves the right
