Finds Private Debt Load
Is Not Excessive

Id lNOl IhSCSSlNC
d ASING its conclusions on study
- covering the period from 1900
to 1885, the National Industrial Con-
ference board finds that there is no
evidence to support the theory that
the burden of private debt upon
business is excessive. Statements
that private debt is absorbing
wealth. or is showing a changed
and unfavorable relationship to
wealth, or that the depression was
precipitated by an excessive debt
burden are without factual basis, the
board reported.
Interest charges have not outrun
the capacity to pay them, according
to the boards study, which showed
that the rates of growth of private
long term debt and of interest
charges from 1900 to 1885 were SINH
lar to those of national wealth and
national income.
Since 1880 private long term debt
has tended to decline Only the pub
lie utilities have increased the
amount of their outstanding debt.
But the board points out that no
debt problem exists in the public
utility field as a whole and that ex-
pansion of the electric light and
power utilities has been on a sound
basis, with the industry in safe
position to meet interest charges.
The steam railroads, taken as a
whole, are neither overcapitalized
nor overburdened with debt, the
board concludes.

Russia Angrily Warns
Fascist Nations


HELP given the Spanish insur-
IL gents by Fascist countries so
enraged soviet Russia that she gave
notice that, unless it ceased sh e
would free herself from any obi
cations to the agreement for neu-
trality. The representatives of the
81 nations on the international COM
mittee of non intervention in the
Spanish war were about to meet in
London, and Moscow's challenge
caused a real sensation. Moiseyvich
Kagan, soviet delegate on the COM
mittee, specifically named Portugal,
Italy and Germany as the offenders
and called for an investigation. 1t
is believed that if Russia is not
satisfied in this matter she will send
airplanes and other war material to
the Spanish government.
The committee refused to take any
action on the Russian complaint,
averring that the charges were not
specific enough.
Spanish Fascists pushed their
lines so closely around Madrid that
they called on the government to
surrender the capital Immediately
and thus save it from destructive
bombardment. An airplane fleet
showered the city with circulars tell
ing the citizens that further resist
ance was useless. One of the most
threatening of General FRANCOIS
advances was directed at Aran-
juez, whose capture would cut off
Madrid's food supply from the Med
iterranean.

for Industrial Organization, rather
dashed the aforesaid prospects for
peace. In Washington he laid down,
as the only basis for restoration of
peace in the ranks of organized
labor, a program consisting of these
two propositions:
1. Revocation by the executive
council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor of the order sus-
pending ten c. I. o. unions on
charges of insurrection.
2. Isolation of certain mass pro-
duction industries which would be
organized strictly on Lewis zone
big union" theory.
It had been stated that David
Dubinsky, head of one of the sus-
pended unions, had submitted a
compromise pc IA &c proposal, but
Lewis told the correspondents that
he knew of no change in feeling be-
tween the battling factions; that
he had made no move for peace and
contemplated none; that the c. I. O.
drive to unionize the steel industry
was proceeding satisfactorily and
that the Dubinsky proposal wa s
similar to the one previously offered
to and rejected by the A. F. of L..
council.

Pessimisn Prevails at
Last League Session


DE SSIMISM and discomfort
marked the final session of the
League of Nations assembly, the
leaders admitting that little had
been accomplished. Carlos Save
dra Lamas of Argentina, president
of the assembly, even asked if he
might not raise the question wheth-
er civilization is on the verge of a
final breakup"
The question of reforming the
league covenant provoked a bitter
controversy on whether nonmember
states should be consulted. Russia
was understood to be anxious par
ticularly to bar German influence
and achieved a minor triumph since
no definite action to solicit nonmem-
Der cooperation was taken. A COM
mittee of twenty-eight was named
to study reform proposals.
The assembly approved reports of
its economic and disarmament COM
mittees. The economic report
carried British proposal to create
a comission to study accessibility
of raw materials. The United States
and other nonmembers would be in
vited to participate. The report of
the disarmament committee ap-
proved the reconvening of the world
disarmament conference at an early
date.

met strong opposition within the
cabinet, and was voted after three
ministers had walked out.
Schuschnigg' task now is to ac-
tually disarm the private armies. If
he succeeds in doing this, his COM

conceded. 1t is recalled that the
Heimwehr was ordered to disarm
in 1881, that the government seized
