BN the Associated Press.
The Government may demand that
General Motors and striking automo-
bile workers open peace negotiations,
official conciliators indicated last
night.
The way Secretary Perkins put 1t
yesterday was that If other means fail
she may send out "a formal invita-
ton" to negotiations. However. there
was no doubt among informed observ-
ers that the Invitation" would be vir-
tually a demand.
Miss Perkins said she already had
suggested informally that Alfred P.
Sloan, jr., General Motors president,
and John L. Lewis, strike director,
get together to work out a peace
agreement.
Lewis Accepts; G. NJ. c. Rejects.
General Motors, she added. had re-
jected her proposal. Lewis has said
he accepted.
MY desire is to get negotiations
re-established," Miss Perkins said
That is the wise thing to do"
A peace conference arranged for
last Monday collapsed.
Secretary Perkins said she was
making continual suggestions" to
each side, and that again there are
favorable signs" that a peace agree
ment could be reached.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States, in its periodical, WASH
ington Review, said yesterday that
increasing labor disturbances con-
stitute a major threat to continued
business expansion and re-employ-
ment."
Questioned by reporters on this top
ic, Miss Perkins said the effect of
the auto strike on business was not
precisely certain. 1t could not af-
feet recovery" she said, because ere
covery has taken place, and normal
expansion" Of business now Is in
progress.
The Chamber of Commerce also
called Significant" the growing op-
position to the automobile strike by
many of the workers themselves"

Boycott On Japan

could.
Under our neutrality law, Washing
ton could prevent or greatly restrict
American shipments to Japan but it
has no legal power to- keep Amer
leans from buying Japanese goods.
Effectiveness Doubted.
An international boycott against
Japan, therefore, would have to be
of an informal, popular, voluntary
character.
Could it be made effective on that
basis?
1t is doubtful.
Perhaps it could be organized, but
certainly it would take a tremendous
effort of worldwide proportions.
China's Boycott.
If possible, unquestionably it would
count ruinously against the mikado.
It is a weapon which was, in fact,
telling used by the Chinese against
Japan shortly after the World War
not, of course, in international fash
ion, but as a popularity welded Chi

How It's Done.
Chinas foreign buying is done thro
ugh group of brokers at its ports OF
entry-as is every country's.
In China however, these brokers art
a particularly compact group-a guile
known in "pidgin' Cor business,
English as "compradores.' A "com
prador," approximately, is a Chinese
credit man. His commercial impor
| lance is tremendous.
Parenthetically
| I take the "pidgin" term "compra
dor" to be derived from the Portu
guese at Macao-"compar" to buy.
Change of Tactics.
ANYHOW, in the emergency referret
to- China's "compradores'' refused t.
buv another cents worth of product
from Japan.
The Japanese government raise
heck with the Chinese government be
cause of the Chinese "conpradores
refusal to do any more buying from
Japan. The Chinese government wa
scared. It wanted it's "compradores
to buy-but how compel a prosperity
buyer to buy?

frazzled out. It did not work CONNER
