House members to express their views:
There are two distinct approaches
to these problems, one is through
Federal legislation, much Of which

Of State control backed and inforced

ments race is cited by Harold B
Butler, director of the International
Labor Office at Geneva. as a possible
forerunner to economic chaos.
"As long as the fear of war is as
widely prevalent as in the latter
months Of 1886" wrote Butler in his
annual report on the world economic
situation, published today, 1T is vain
to expect that the world can attain its
full economic momentum.
The general realization Of the eco
nomic dangers Of extravagant arma-
ment programs, coupled with the polit-
lcal inability to arrest them, is true
measure of the eclipse of reason in
international affairs"
AS for the money expended on arms
the report said, it had to be withdrawn
from private enterprise Of a peaceful
nature; 'the labor employed for pur-
poses Of destruction means labor with
drawn from productive purposes; the
raw materials used create q dearth
from industries working to increase
the national wealth"

saying Unemployment due to arma

arm, as he considers events outside
Germany dictate.
Believed Up to Roosevelt.
His surprise statement yesterday to
George Lansbury, British Laborite
member of Parliament in answer to a
proposition for "a world conference to
avoid future wars" was believed to
have put the call for such a session
up to President Roosevelt because the
Idea was originally credited to Nor
man Davis, United States Ambassador
at large, and Germany felt it would
not be advisable to step in.
DR.. Schacht, trying desperately to
extend Germany's exports, has fostered
the idea Of a world conference in the
hope 1t would help the German eco
nomic policy of producing as much as
possible to get foreign exchange with
which to buy raw materials she cannot
produce.
Germany. seen through DR..
Schacht's eyes, will not be self
sufficient until the return of part of
the colonies she lost at the end of
the World War, these to serve as a
market place for home products and
as sources of raw materials.
Re-establishment of the Reich's ey-
port prestige still is considered too
far in the future by German indus
trialists to be their immediate goal,
however.
