Windsor To Stay
In Europe Is Said
Date for Tour of U. S. Not
Definitely Reset

PARIS, Nov. S.-(UPl-Thc
Duke of Windsor today decided
to study housing conditions in
Paris for a week or two, then seek
rest in Austria or on the French
Riviera.
A spokesman denied reports
that another date was set for his
American tour or that he planned
a visit to Russia, Denmark, or to
return to Britain.
1t was understood that Windsor
was unable to tell his brother,
George VI, Of his plan over the
telephone.
It was believed that when he
does make his American tour he
will do it without a sponsor such
as Charles +. Bedaux. Meantime,
Bedaux has resigned from the
board of directors of the British
Bedaux company, which declined
to amplify the announcement.
The Duke was cheered by a
"sinccre and hearty" invitation
from William A. Green, president
of the American Federation OF
Labor, to visit the United States
at a later date. :.
If he decided to carry out his
plan to study working and hous-
ing conditions in the United States
his tour will be conducted under
different circumstances" an in,
formed source told the United
Press.
1t was indicated that the Duke
believes, in view of attacks by la,
Dor organizations in America, that
he was GLADLY advised" by Chas.
E. Bedaux, inventor of speed
up" industrial system whose reslg-
nation as Edwards guide led Will
liam Green to issue the new invl-
tation late Saturday.

SHANGHAI, Nov. S.--(UP)-
Chinese troops, threatened by a
strong Japanese army from the
south, were reported by foreign
military officials today to have
evacuated Pootung, shcll-torn area
across the Whangpoo river from
the international Settlement which
the Chinese had held since HOSTILE
ties began.
The officials said that the with
drawal was necessary so the Chi
ncsc could reinforce contingents
attempting to block the Japanese
marching northward from Hang
chow Bay and driving southwark
from Chapel. adjacent to the set
Element on the west.
4 Japanese military official said
that Chinese troops in POOtung
had shown signs of retrcating
since Wednesday and began to do
so Saturday night. Aerial obscrv-
ers reported large Chinese troop
movements Sunday from Pootung,
Nanziang. TaichOng and Quinsan
toward the west.
The whirlwind advance by some
$4,000 Japanese troops threaten
ed to bring about the collapse of
the entire Chinese defense line
thrown about Shanghai. The Japa-
ncse landing on the north shore
of Hangchow Bay was carried out
with lightning swiftneSs after the
Chinese were led to believe the
troops would be dcbarked around
Shanghai or to the northwest at
Liuho.
Japanese asserted that they
were closing in on the strategic
city of Sunkiang, II miles south
west of Shanghai after crossing
the muddy WhangpoO river from
the south.
Chinese denied that Pootung
was evacuated and insisted that
although troops had been with
drawn, they were replaced by
fresh forces.

SWANSON WARNS ROOSEVELT'S
HOURS AND WAGES POLICIES
MENACE NATIONAL DEFENSE
Blunt Attack so Forceful
Observers See Change in
Plan Affecting Army
Navy Necessities
By GRATTAN McGROARTY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. (UP)
The heart of President Roosevelt's
labor policies - maximum hours
and minimum wages-was threat
cncd by Secretary Of Navy Claude
4. Swanson's blunt warning that
the governments first venture in
to this field is a menace to the
national defense.
The attack was so forceful that
observers specialized on the posi-
bility that different set of rules
may be established in the pro-
posed wages and hours bill to APP
ply to manufacturers who handle
materials going into government
programs involving the army and
navy.
Swanson said the navy was
definitely apprchensive" regard
ing effects of increased restrictive
legislation on the naval building
program. He apparently referred
to the Walsh-Healy act, which es-
tablishes labor standards for pri-
vate firms engaged on government
contracts and which presumably
would be perpetuated by the
wages and hours bill scheduled to
come up at the special session of

far-reaching effects on considera-

Further apprehension over slow

gram was expressed yesterday by
Admiral William d. Lcahy, chief
of naval operations, in his annual
report to the secretary, which
said:
"Thc chief Of naval operations
is not satisfied with the delays in
the completion of new ships built
either by navy yards or by private
contractors and with the length of
time taken between commission

All of the program has been de-
layed by strikes, late delivery of
materials, insufficient drafting
force, and necessary changes dur
ing construction.
"The delivery Of the aircraft
carrier Yorktown is delayed due
to defective reduction gears,
which must be replaced before
that ship will be ready to join

"The Enterprise (aircraft carri-

STEPS TOWARD PEACE

The Rotarians of the world recently
concluded their international convention
in France. where a Frenchman, nominated
by German Rotarian, was elected as the
first president of Rotary outside of the
United States.
The Rotarians at their final session
heard a suggestion that the clubs raise ST.
100000 during 1887 as contribution to
world peace through the exchange of
students between the various countries of
the world. While the plan has not been
formally adopted it is being considered.
Of course, the exchange of students
between nations is desirable but it cannot
bring about world peace unless aided by
the development of tolerance and under
standing among the masses of the various
nations. Some interesting steps have been
taken along this line between France and
Germany These include serious effort to
revise war histories in each country so as
to eliminate untruthful statements and
those that work up ill-feeling between the
two peoples. Moreover, it is planned dur
ing the summer to encourage French and
German children to spend vacations in
other country in order to learn something
about the people in the enemy" land.

THE GIFTED CHILD

We hear good deal about the neces-
sity for special attention to dull children,
and every aid which may be given these
unfortunates ought to be given. But lot
of bright ones need some thought and
practical assistance, too.
Education of the masses to a certain
common level is to be desired, but unless
the boy who shows exceptional talent can
be given special opportunities to develop
his latent powers, not only he. but the
world at large, is the loser.
Thousands of mediocre boys go
through college with little benefit to them
selves or to society, while other thousands
who have great gifts are denied the priv
ilege, through lack of means.
That any boy with exceptional talent
for creative work, scientific research or
leadership should lack the opportunity to
make the most of that talent is a tragedy
Upon such boys and their proper training
depends the progress of the world. The
same is true of especially talented girls.
When our civilization is little far
Their advanced, means will be provided
that our brightest minds shall have every
opportunity for their highest development
Such means should be provided now

a GOOD WAY TO UPSET BUSINESS

It is rumored that plans are being
considered whereby 100 per cent margin
requirements would be imposed on Sc
curly markets-that is. persons who wish
to purchase and carry securities, would be
prohibited from borrowing money on those
securities.
The dangers inherent in such move
should be thoroughly understood. Under
present laws. the Federal Reserve Board
possesses the authority to prevent the ex-
cessive use of bank credit in the purchas-
ing and carrying of securities. The amount
of credit now outstanding in the securities
markets is far below previous comparable
periods.
Ii margin buying were outlawed, the
immediate effect would be felt by the Sc
curity markets. Prices would be artificially
driven down. at the expense of investors.
The volume of transactions would be dras-
tically curtailed. There would no longer
be ready domestic market for securities
Ia market which now gives the investor
place where he can buy or sell listed stocks
at posted prices almost instantly Capital
would migrate to foreign security markets
where reasonable margins are allowed
Infinitely more serious, however,
would be the ultimate effect of 100 per
cent margin requirements. New financing
by industry has been almost non-existent
during the depression. Only now is a start
back to normal financing being made.
This movement would be throttled if Dor.
rowing on securities were prevented. AS
result, industrial expansion plans would be
dropped. new opportunities for employ
ment would be lost, and potential increases
in the national productive wealth would be
restrictd.
We now have rigorous safeguard to
prevent excessive use of credit in the sc,
eurity markets, and to stop wild specula-
ton, in our 55 per cent margin require
ments. Eliminating all margins would be
serious blow to recovery.
