CONCERN0F TRADE
Woodring Says Prosperity
Alone Will Not Solve
Unemployment.

"A greater business improvement
will not alone solve the unemployment
problem. " :" A complete return to
prosperity will not solve all OF the
difficulties Of unemployment"
These declarations were made last
night by Harry H. Woodring, Secre-
tary of War, to the Washington Board
of Trade at its December meeting held
ut the Willard Hotel. More than 200
members Of the organization heard
Woodring explain that he was speak
ing mot as a member of the cabinet
nor an officer Of the War Department,
but as business man and banker" in
presenting what he declared to be
the greatest problem facing this Ma
ton"
There Is no question" he said,
shat much has been done in the past
few years in the unemployment field,
but we have merely scratched most
family the surface Of the problem.
sss Much has been done to overcome
this by spreading employment
throughout the year. Much more
can be done by longtime planning
for labor requirements"
Woodring said the social security
act will play vital part in encourag-
ing naturally idle men to seek en-
ployment, but at the same time in
dividuals accustomed to certain lux
uries will not give up those minor
parts Of their living willingly.
Cultural Pursuits Important.
"The role that such things as art,
music, literature, education, travel,
amusements, entertainment, sports,
personal adornment and minor lux
uries play in improving the standard
OF living is of as great Importance
as the amount of consumable goods
produced. ."
"The workers Of America do not
want charity; they want good, steady
jobs and a reasonable economic Sc
curity, and it is up to the American
community to provide them.
Because Of the present shift in
the emphasis from material welfare
and things, to human batterment and
social security, the Federal Govern
ment has already embarked on a
program to aid in their realization"
The speaker finally presented the
problem as one to be solved either
willingly by industry or imperatively
by the Government.
IF industry will not do what 1t
should, am certain the people will
exert some other force outside of in
dustry which will make action OBJ
ligatory.
Expects Cooperation.
"If industry does not help solve this
problem there should be increased
action through governmental control.
Do we want private initiative of in
duStry to cope with the problem Of un-
employment or do we want to leave
it entirely in the lap of governmental
legislation? I feel confident American
industry and business prefer the for

PEN TERMS in
STORE HOLDUP

Quick justice was melted out to
j. Clouse and Charles Bates, who
admitted that they held up the
Whit H. Hawkins grocery store in
Calipatria December 81 when they
were given penitentiary sentences
in Judge Vaughn N. Thompson's
court shortly before noon today.
Clouse, who sometimes used the
name Of Summers, was sentenced
to Folsom for the term prescribed
by law after he pleaded guilty to
first degree robbery. He was a
two-time loser, admittedly having
served q months in the Indiana
penitentiary for automobile BAN
ditry.
Bates, who also pleaded guilty to
first degree burglary, was sentence
ed to San Quentin for the term
prescribed by law.
The men we're arrested in Braw-
ley upon descriptions provided by
the robbery victims and were
brought to the county Jail for
questioning. They told T. M. Sharp,
chief criminal investigator for the
sheriff's office, in the presence of
Sheriff Robert Ware, that they
held up the north end store.
They took cash box containing
S32, they said, and departed for
Brawley Immediately after the
robbery.

EIGHTEEN-MILE
WATER TUNNEL
HOLED THROUGH

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Jan. 3.
W.P)-The east Coachella tunnel,
longest in the world, was "holed
through" today, completing anoth-
er phase of the Colorado river
aueduct that will bring enough
water into southern California to
satisfy her demands for years to
come.
Five hundred pounds of dyna-
mite, ripping through rock and
dirt, opened up the i8-mile bore
through the little San Bernardino
mountains. For three years. work
crews had dug through each side
of the range-nine miles each way
and when the last dynamite blast
had let go, the two sections met
within a few inches.

construction Finance Corporation,

TO recommending a possible change

bureau.
Hill, a Les Angeles engineer, and
Jacobs, who is from Seattle, were
appointed recently on a two-man
board to hear the pleas of Calex-
leo civic leaders that the canal be
routed through the city, instead of
along the tentative route passing
north of Calexico.
Hill and Jacobs, after completion
of the hearing, will study argu-
ments made to them prior to sub
hitting final recommendation to
reclamation bureau headquarters at
Denver. That their decision will
be made soon was indicated by
Jacobs, who expressed a desire to
obtain all evidence prior to a
closed discussion between engi-
neers, which probably will result
in their recommendation.

Director Mark Rose of the I'M

struction, will be far less costly

ROME, Jan. 3. tU.p) - Smarting
under foreign criticism of it's bonn
bardment of the Red Cross in
Ethiopia, the Italian military COM
mand today was reported pre-
pairing to wage aerial warfare with

reprisal for alleged atrocities against

The press demanded the govern

in revenge against the decapita-
ton of Sublieutenant Tito Man

near Daggah Bur.
Foreign military observers be-
lieve the apparently inspired press
comments were prelude to the
opening of an intensive Italian
air offensive against strategic
Ethiopian points in an effort to
demoralize the enemy and end the
war quickly.
1t is believed Italians now realize
it will take several years at the
present rate of progress to conquer
the country. A series of smashing
air raids, it is believed, might
throw Philippians into disorder and
halt-at least temporarily - the

plan counter attack on northern
