BRITAIN MAY DISCOVER THAT 1T
PAYS TO PAY
lRv BRUCE CATION

II NAV seem all right to run out on your
debts if you are never going to need any
more favors from your creditor. But II you
find yourself getting into spot where the
fellow YOU owe is the only man in the
world who can help you, your wisest course
is to lay little something on the line 1or
him with all speed, so he will permit you
to run up another bill.
A realization of this simple truth seems
to be dawning on some of the leaders OF
thought in Great Britain. The result IS that
the American war debt, dead as the dodo
all these years, is in fair way to be re-
vived and paid, at least in part.
The reason for this surprising change Is
not pricking of Britain's commercial con-
science, but bad case of fright.
The European situation is full of terrors'
Britain recently found, to her humiliation,
that the lesser breeds without law Just
aren't afraid of her any more. A desper-
ate furry of rearmament is taking place as
a result.
]. l.. Garvin, editor of the London OBJ
server, and England's most respected and
influential pubicist, announced the other
day that England's only hope is to haul the
American debt out of the bag and settle IT,
This argument is worth looking at.
Hs begins by pointing out that England
must. rearm swiftly and extensively. Her
veryexistence depends on it. Army, navy,
and air force need vast expansion and they
need@it at once. England, however, Is short
of skilled labor in some trades, and even
shorter of certain specialized kinds of ma
chinsry. The necessary rebuilding cannot
be done at home within the time available
So says Mr.. Garvin-settle the debt, and
do it at once, 30 that Americas vast manu-
factrking resources can be tapped. During
the war, American munitions were lndls-
pensable to British success; they are no
less indispensable today. Get the deot
paid, and they would become available.
The United States, whose potentiallty OF
aircraft production is equal to that OF all
the rest of the world put together, could
supply us with a thousand fre-line planes,
or MORE" says Mr.. Garvin, with light
auxiliary vessels and their armament as re-
quired by the navy under the new condi-
tons; with much of the equipment for the
regular army and the territorials; with the
gauges and machine tools which home IN
dustry alone cannot supply in sufficient
quantity at the necessary speed
England made one miscalculation about
that debt. She assumed that the world
was going to remain at peace and that
John Bull would need 10 more help from
Uncle Sam-in which case, of course, gyp-
ping Uncle Sam would be just pleasant
little game.
1t hasn't worked out that way. So we
may yet see that debt settled-Mr. GarVin
has an uncanny way of forecasting British
policy-and find ourselves, too, once more
tied by strong commercial ties to the for
tunes of the British empire.

THE NATIONAL INCOME

The national income used to be reckoned by some
of our business and financial authorities at around
eighty-fve billion dollars.
With probably more accurate methods of reck-
oning it is estimated that in normal times
and 1926 is believed to have been quite normal
year, following the postwar depression and preced
ing the hectic bull stock market period-the ma
tional income was approximately seventy-fve bill
lion dollars.
In 1929 it is reckoned to have reached high of
eighty-one billions which compared with the low of
forty billions in 1882, the latest revised estimate,
indicates how far we fell in the depression.
The national income, if it can be reckoned with
reasonable accuracy, should be the most compre-
hensive gauge possible of business and industrial
activity and consequently, the national prosperity

that the national income fty-eight billion dol
lars in 1885, is measure of how far we have trav-
eled along the road of recovery. e.. -. ~.
Apparently we have not yet gone half the way,
unless eaccept President Roosevelt's more opti-
mistic figures that the national income will be SIX
ty-fve billion dollars in 1885,.
However, our national income, if it is to be nor
NAL again, must be something like ten per cent
larger than in 1926, to provide for that much OF

UNFAIR TAX
Council Vote Backs De-
mand For Fair Play

Miami, Fla. (ILNS)-Demand for
adjustment of the tax on cigarettes,
SO as to equalize the tax burden be-
tween the 10-cent cigarette and the
15 cent brands, was voiced by the A. F.
of L. executive council here in adop-
tion of a resolution calling on con-
gress for remedial legislation.
The resolution recited the facts of
the situation, as they have been
stated repeatedly by the Tobacco
Workers international Union and the
Cigar Makers International Union
and their joint council. It set forth
the unfair burden placed upon the
10-cent cigarettes, most of which are
union made, in comparison with the
enormous advantage to the Big Four
brands, all of which are hostile to
labor and none of which sell for less
| than Is cents.
1t was set forth that under present
tax laws the tax is the same on 10
cent and 15-cent cigarettes, being six
cents on each package, regardless of
selling price.
The resolution called upon con
gress to enact legislation sponsored
by the Tobacco Workers, intended to
equalize the tax so that the burden
will fall on the product with regard
| for the difference in retail price.
This action places the entire legis-
lative force of labor in Washington
back of the campaign for fair tax
alton of cigarettes.

set forth the experience of the mem
bers and officials of his union in their
attempts to cooperate with the man
ayers of the textile industry, during
the period Of the formation of the
MIRA, and the subsequent admins
tration of the NRA Mr. Mcmahon
described the events which led up to
the great textile strike, and the va
rious governmental activities which
followed the strike, in the detailed
Investigations Of the industry, and
now have led up to the drawing and
presentation of this bill.
State Representatives Heard
Two representatives sent by gov
ernors of states interested in the tex
tile industry appeared also, the first
being Metcalfe Walling, who was the
personal representative of Governor
Green, Of Rhode Island. Mr.. Metcalfe
wished to emphasize the idea, at the
direction Of Governor Green, of the
necessity and possibility of treating
the textile problem as a national
problem. He said that it is not pos
sible for one state to go very far
ahead of other states interested in the
same industry, as it is very likely, in
so doing, to place its industries at the
mercy of competitors of other less
| progressive states Mr. Metcalfe
stated that in his opinion the manu-
facturers Of Rhode Island had found
the principle of national regulation
under the NRA to be reasonable and
sound; and that considerable per-
centage of Rhode Island industry, es-
timated at from SO per cent to so
per cent, according to ones point
of view, is now observing the wage
and hour standards of NRA. He
approved the provisions of the bill
which would do away with competition
in labor cost.
John w. Nickerson, a textile engi-
neer employed by Cheney Brothers,
silk manufacturers, appeared as the
representative from Connecticut, at
the request of Governor Cross, of that
state. Mr.. Nickerson said that he
had called a conference of about "a
of the leading textile manufacturers
of Connecticut, and as result of that
meeting he presented an approved
statement of the consensus of their
opinion. They believed that the
Ellenbogen bill in its present form is
opposed to the best interest Of both
employers and employees in the tex.
tile industry; that there are no sweat.
shop conditions in Connecticut tex
tile industries; that there are no con
ditions in that state calling for sucf
an enactment, and that the state laws
at present are adequate to meet any
demand for the regulation of that in
dustry, and are superior to those o.
the greater part of the United States
that the Connecticut manufacturer
prefer to solve their problems b.
means Of state compacts and arr
moving in that direction.
Mr.. Nickerson could not give salts
factory answers as to how long
would take to secure the state com
pacts he referred to, nor as to wha
the managers of industry would b
able to do to help find some way o
absorbing the ten million unemploye'
) of the nation.

Wage Policy to Be Decided

Inasmuch as the present bitumi-
nous wage contracts between miners
and operators will expire March 81,
1887, the convention will decide upon
the wage policy to be followed in the
negotiation of new agreements to
take the place of the present con-
tracts upon expiration. The wage
contract in the anthracite industry
will expire on March 81, 1886. At a
convention of anthracite delegates,
held in Washington, last December,
new demands were adopted as a basis
for negotiation of a new agreement
in that branch of the industry, and
this international convention will be
called upon to ratify the action of the
anthracite convention.
Negotiations between the union and
the anthracite operators will be held
in New York, starting some time in
February. A policy and program for
future legislation will also command
the attention of the delegates.

Textile Industry in South Held
Against Proposed Control Act
Business Has Gained, Though Mills Are Still Paying
NRA Minimum Wages, Witness Tells House Subcom-
mttee-Union Heads Outline Testimony to Show
Benefits of Measure

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Hear-
ings began on the Ellenbogen textile
bill, H. r. 9072, on January 27, with
a discussion between Representative
Robert Ramspeck, of Atlanta, Ga, and
Representative Henry Ellenbogen, of
Pennsylvania as to the constitutional
ity of the proposed act.
The first witness before the COM
mittee, which is a subcommittee of
the house committee on labor, was
C. C. Gilbert, of Nashville, Tenn, who
said that he is the secretary of the
Southern States Industrial Council,
representing the manufacturers of
Id Southern states His desire was
simply to file brief against the bill,
but he was stopped by committee
members who wanted to know what
he represented and the grounds of
his opposition.
Arguing against the proposed bill
for regulating the textile industry,
Mr. Gilbert said, in answer to ques-
tions, that the 10000 manufacturers
of these states were all opposed to
the NRA; that wages which had been
from Sc to 81 per week in the South
previously were raised to $12 and
$13 by the NRA; that nevertheless
the southern manufacturers had lived
up to it, despite the fact that during
the time of the NRA business in the
South went backward by at least SO
per cent; that since the Schecter de-
cision they have continued to pay the
minimum wages of the NRA sched-
ules, and that during this time their
business has picked up and gone
ahead; that this is all due to the fact
that they have lost their fear and are
now manufacturing goods for which
they have no orders but which they
have hopes Of being able to dispose
Of. Altogether, Mr.. Gilbert did not
seem to realize just what the commit
tee members were drawing out of him.
To Meet Court Decisions
Probably the most important state
ment made during the sessions was
the announcement by the chairman,
Representative Kent z. Kellar, that
the committee expected to examine
the bill carefully, and to get all the
information it could on the subject;
and that if they thought the proposed
bill not constitutional they would
probably draft committee bill which
they would believe to meet the re-
auirements of recent supreme court
decisions.
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Ellen
bogen, Francis j German, first vice
president of the United Textile Work
ers of America, outlined briefly the
program for the presentation of the
evidence on behalf Of the bill by the
United Textile Workers, to begir
with statement by President
Thomas f. Mcmahon, followed By
about 40 witnesses from all parts Of
the country who have been employed
in the industry, and who know per
sonally the conditions of operation a.
well as the experiences of the work
ers in their efforts to avail themselve:
of the supposed protection of the pro
visions of Section IA of the MIRA.

mittee was President Mcmahon, VIII

Miners 95 Per Cent Organized
wherein the constitution itself
must be amended to permit congress
to legislate with respect to matters
of national interest beyond effective
state control the United Mine Work
ers should favor such amendments. Z
The joint report described gains
made for union miners during the
last few years and criticized social
security legislation for not being gen
erous enough.
"The records Of the United Mine
Workers show that 95 per cent of
all workers in the anthracite and BIZ
luminous coal industries are now
members of our union" the report
said. ITO make possible the perfec-
tion Of our work in this field we must
continue our efforts to organize the
remaining 5 per cent into the union.
/ These non-union workmen still live
in virtual peonage. Their lower
wage standards, longer hours, and
bad conditions of employment consti-
tute a menace to the stability of our
wage structure, through the use Of

practices on the part of their nom
