faced with suspicion abroad, faced with
q non-co-operation policy on the part
Of both China and Russia, faced with
serious criticism at home because Of
its blunders and failures, has re-
gained its common sense and has cast
in its lot with the liberals again.
The odds are with these liberals,
but in Japan upsets are common. and
only the events of the next few months
will definitely prove whether Japan
is to follow the path Of the Anglo

WAGE AMENDMENT.
HELD LABOR'S AIM
Program Reported to Be
Goal of Secret Group
Sponsored by Berry.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A constitutional amendment regu-
lating hours and wages is reliably re-
ported to be the goal Of a secret group
sponsored by George L. Berry, indus
trial co-ordinator. which is seeking
agreement among labor groups.
The committee. it was learned yes
terday, is proceeding on the theory
that until the commerce clause" has
been revised relations between employ
ers and employees cannot be co-ordi-
mated. in view Of recent Supreme
Court findings. Although New Deal
ers had hoped to use this clause.
which empowers Congress to regulate
commerce with foreign nations and
among the several States" as an in
strument for social and economic re-
form. the Supreme Court has barred
this course, authorities said.
After extensive investigation" in
formed ofhcials declared. Maj. Berry
became convinced that the courts in
depreciation Of the commerce clause Is
an insurmountable obstacle to indus
trial amity on the hours and wages Of
labor"
The work Of the committee. they
said. was mot unknown" to the White
House, although the administration
had given no ofiicial recognition Of Its
existence.
Unanimous agreement on the Ian
guage Of proposed changes in the COM
merce clause was understood to be the
current task Of the committee. Nu-
merous suggestions have been put for
ward, and it was hoped to boil them
down to q formula agreeable to va
rious labor groups.
Some leaders feared that too much
tinkering with the language Of the
amendment might cost the support Of
certain national farm groups, which
have expressed some desire to see the
Constitution amended to facilitate
Federal control Of agricultural pro-
duction.
Farm organizations, generally, have
indicated they would closely scrutinize
any proposed amendment before COM
mitting themselves to support it. They
insisted that farm labor occupies an
entirely different position from indus
trial labor in the national econor1|
and cannot be subjected to similar
regulation.
The views Of the White House on
the amendment studies have not been
disclosed. It was understood that sew
eral sponsors Of proposals for consti-
tutional change were carefully guard
ing their plans because Of q desire to
see If the President would lead with
a suggestion.
