Commerce Chamber Head
Thinks Half Unemployable

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-G George
H. Davis, president Of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, de
clares that at least half the persons
now unemployed are unemployable.
"If YOU take the popular figure of
100000 as the unemployment figure
of the United States today" he said,
this study would indicate that Of that
number, only between 100000 and
100000 are employable. Industry
cannot be asked to absorb the rest.
By this study Mr.. Davis means

Many Cities May Find
Trouble in Housing Act

Washington, D. G. GLNS)-At the
housing conference held here to map
the spending of the $526,000,000 pro-
vided by the amended Wagner hous-
ing act, it was found that large
number of cities where housing prof.
ects are needed will find it difficult
to pay the minimum of 10 per cent
of the cost required by the act.
Only SO cities, Secretary Ickes said,
haze created housing authorities to
handle the projects when finished.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Cleveland were said to be over their
debt limits now Since housing prof
ects are, so far as the city is con-
cerned investments which return
their cost, it is believed that this
difficulty can be ironed out.
Eighteen states, it was reported,
have laws which permit a state to
get land by condemnation for housing.
The federal courts have denied such
power to the federal government, 50
that the cooperation Of the state is
necessary to keep land price boosting

U.s.. TO SEEK

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Gov-

grand jury at Frankfort, Kentucky,
to indict certain coal operators and
other individuals on charges of con-
spring to interfere with the civil
rights of Harlan county coal miners.
This is one more of the many de-
velopments from the La Toilette in
vestigation. That presented such a
picture of terrorism and tyranny in
Harlan that Attorney General Cum
mings sent federal agents into Har-
Ian county last May. The Bureau OF
Internal Revenue has other agents
busy looking into the income tax re
turns of those Harlan magnates.
The justice department is using 9

EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL
COOPERATION

Much has been made Of the failure
Of the League of Nations to keep peace
and prevent international brigandage
and destruction. The league, it is true,
has not lived up to expectations,
though it has done more toward in
ternational cooperation and prepara-
ton for such cooperation than is
generally realized. But the charge Of
failure of international cooperation
cannot be made against the Interna-
tional Labor Organization, which for
almost two decades has been working
for social justice by international
effort.
To date the ILO has adopted more
than 60 conventions or international
treaties, dealing with labor condi-
tions In the last three years these
conventions have been ratified at the
rate Of about 50 annually BY the 81
nations belonging to the organization
Economists and labor organizations
say that these conventions have beer
a decided force for the Improvement
of labor conditions throughout the
world and consequently also force
for stability and peace

THE LATEST IN TANKS

The American army has new
tank that, from advance notices, at
least, seems to be a terror 1t makes
80 miles an hour across country, and
takes any ordinary bitches at 25. It
is armored, of course, it has three
machine guns; and the gunners with
the driver make crew of four.
Apparently, no other country has
quite SO daunting devil wagon as
this though it would be well not to
get too positive on that matter Tanks
have developed tremendously since
their first appearance in the World
War. New as they were, out of favor
as they were with old-fashioned
British officers, tanks broke the Hin
denburg line; although it is claimed
that not single tank which took
part in that epoch-making smash in
Au9ust was still in service when the
armistice came in Nocember.
But what a ten times shame it is
that the money, ingenuity, material
and patience which went to shaping
this behemoth Of destruction could not
have been expended on something to
serve men, instead of on device to
destroy them

The aims of Japan in China have
become so clear that Europeans and
Americans are substantially agreed
in defining them They are:
1. To strike such terror into the
Chinese people that they will not
dare to resist Japan's will for gen.
Grafton.
2. To set up one or two buffer
states, japanese controlled, between
Russia and China.
3. To take over under direct Japan
ese rule a goodly part of the coast of
China, including, of course, the coal
mines.
A. To take over absolute control of
Chinese customs; which would enable
Japan to shut out all trade except her
own.
1t is clear that the last three items
in the program depend entirely on the
success of the first. And to date, the
Chinest are not being terrorized worth

tracks before Shanghai until seconc

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

time horse traffic. Among other
things, he said.
Because of this constant starting
and stopping, the innumerable red stop
lights, automobile traffic will move
no more than one mile an hour. His
tory records that old horse drawn
coaches, which once operated on New
York streets, averaged liz miles per
hour"
Mr.. Conley's remedy for this condi-
ton is a series of elevated drives for
auto traffic. That may be a good way
out of bad mess but what made the
bad mess?
The answer is the congestion of pop
ulation in and around New York Part
Of that congestion is reasonable-New
York is where ocean traffic met the
old Hudson river and Erie canal traf-
fic, on lines which still furnish the
easiest grades from the Atlantic
coast to the Middle Western plains
But there is every indication that the
| packing of population into that ares
has gone far beyond reasonable linn
its; and that much Of it is due to The
enormous financial power which New
York has welded so long.
When cities get so large that autt
traffic moves slower than old timt
horse traffic, it would seem time for
a study that would reach to the bot
tom of things-not one cooked up a
a fine idea for a certain group Of stee
producers.

NEW SUGAR PLAN
HIT BY PRESIDENT
Compromise Is Unsatisfac-

tee to Stand Pat.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
President Roosevelt in 4 letter to
Senator Harrison. told the Senate
Agriculture Committee today its pro-
posed sugar legislation compromise"
WAS unsatisfactory.
In the face Of the Presidents objec-
tiors. the committee voted 1T 4 special
session to stand pat on the measure.
Harrison said 1.-The sentiment was
overwhelming to adhere to our posi-
ton"
The President said the committee
proposal to freeze" the refining quotas
of mainland plants, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico, merely perpetuates" discrimina-
ton against the island industry.
Mr.. Roosevelt objected to the sugar
bill as it passed the House last week
because it would limit refined ship =
ments from Hawaii and Puerto Rico
without limiting continental United
States refinings.
Subsequently compromise was put
forward, which sugar legislation advo-
Gates said might meet the President s
suggestions, which was to freeze" the
refined sugar output OF the continental
and island producers At the present
level
The committee approved the bill In
that form Tuesday.
The President in his letter said, II
am delighted to note that the commit
tee recognizes that our territories and
island possessions are integral parts of
the United States and cannot be dis
criminated against"
He contended, however. that the
committee amendment not only does
not eliminate the discrimination, but
introduces q new and highly objection
