THE gem collection of the Ameri-

came from Colombia, South America,
which produced all the finest emeralds

was captured by the Spaniards and
carved in India sometime between the
10Th and 18th centuries, at the be-,
ginning of the Mogul domination of
that country.
No one knows how it escaped being
ruined by the Spanish soldiers, who
were not too familiar with emeralds
when they discovered the vast stores
of the Incas. At that time the test for
diamond was to place the gem upon
an anvil and strike it with hammer.
The true diamond was not supposed
to break.
The Spanish soldiers treated emer-
aids in this way, to see if they also
were gems. and destroyed great num-

bers. For the emerald is one of the
most fragile of stones.
The Spanish priests, however,
gathered up the broken pieces. and as
many whole emeralds as they could
get. and sent them back to Europe.
For many years the world price of
emeralds, now the most valued of all
gem stones, was depressed by this flood
of conquered treasure. After these
stones had been absorbed - many of
them were bought by Indian princes
- the price climbed back to high
level. Recent work has resulted in the
production of synthetic emeralds in
such good crystals that even an expert
finds it difficult to distinguish them
from the genuine stones.
Another remarkable jewel in the
museum collection is The Star of
India" the largest cut star sapphire
in the world. Strangely enough. we do
not know the story of this famous and
very valuable gem.

President Discusses the
Labor Situation

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT dis
cussed the labor situation with
Secretary Perkins and Sidney Hill
man, chief organizer of the c. I. O..
drive to unionize the textile work
ers. Hillman told him he was hope
full the problems of the textile in
dustry could be settled by co-opera-
ton and arbitration, and it was re-
ported that he promised the textile
workers would not attempt to use
the sit-down strike.
Senator Wagner of New York de-
Gvered an address in the senate on
the sit-down strike situation, charg-
ing that the balme of it rested on a
few giant corporations which, he
said, have "hamstrung" the labor
relations board by invoking injunc-
tons in the courts and "who have
openly banded together to defy" the
labor relations law.
Deriding the call for new federal
legislation to meet the crisis, Sena-
tor Wagner declared that "the lack
of power in the federal government
to enforce the labor relations act
and not any weakness in existing
law is the root cause for the pres
ent economic warfare"
Representative Martin Dies Of
Texas appeared before the house
rules committee and urged action
on his resolution for congressional
investigation of the strike situation.
He again called upon the President
to intervene and pointed to section
5299 of the revised United States
statutes as giving the chief execu-
tive authority to take action in the
event of such an occurrence as the
Chrysler strike.
The continued silence of the Pres
ident on the issue is "ominous,"
Representative Charles L. Clifford
of Massachusetts, told the house. He
warned the President against the
rise to power of John L. Lewis.
Negotiations for settlement of the
General Motors strike were pro-
crossing slowly, and officials of the
corporation said that 10, 100 employ
ees were idle in four plants be-
cause of strikes in Pontiac and

GERS, most of them belonging to the

Army Day Marks Americas
Entry Into the War

D RECLAIMED by the President,
congress and all governors,
Army day was celebrated through
out the nation on April 6, the twen-
tieth anniversary of Americas en-
trance into the World war.
The keynote of Army day, &C.
cording to Rear Admiral Reginald
R. Belknap, U. S. N. retired, gen.
eral chairman of the day, is "Peace
through preparedness"
1--WE who have seen the terrible
destruction wrought by war want to
do all in our power to avoid another
war;" he said. "The best way to do
this, we believe, is by having a
strong, well-trained, well-equipped
army and navy. So strengthened,
an aggressor nation will think twice
before trying to draw us into war;"
The best way to achieve this pre-
paredness, he added, is by carry
ing out the provisions of the Nation
al Defense act of 1920, in appropri-
atoms, personnel, material and
training. He also urged continuing
the navy at full treaty strength,
fully manned, actively trained and
with an adequate trained reserve.
