arabic From Local Welfare

There is almost a plethora of
optimistic predictions concerning
the future of business activity.
However, there is likewise almost
a complete lack of actual tangible
factors on which to base a fore
cast that the indexes will show
any substantial rise for many
months to come. 1t will be almost
a miracle, even if the pump prim-
ing program goes through as sche
duled, if conditions change for the
better in the next three months.
The experts are watching the
commodity price structures. Prices
have been weakening slowly but
steadily for six or eight months,
and during this define about half
of the gain registered in raw ma
terial prices since the 1882 low
have been lost. A committee of
the National Association of Pur-
chasing Agents recently amour
ced that there are many who are
of the opinion that this month
May is witnessing the low point
of commodity markets for the
current movement and that
fall noticeable betterment will
have occurred in most price
trends. The day after that rather
sanguine forecast was issued the
commodity market showed UNI
usual weakness, and two of the
leaders, wheat and cotton. made
their sharpest breaks in a number
of months. On the basis of figures
running into the first of June. the
commodity price structure still
has downward tendency And
while it is not generally expected
that there will be any sudden
major drops, that possibility is
present. It is certain, of course.

The cleavage in the Democratic
Party becomes steadily more in
New Dealers who follow the Pre-
sident 100 per cent. On the other
side are the old-line Democrats
who are basically opposed to
many Administration detectives,
activities and methods. During
the early years these Democrats
said little. and followed the White
House line for the most part. But
they have kicked over the traces
now.
That is the fact that lies be-
hind the bitter, internecine war
in many Democratic state primary
elections. ire Administration, in
the opinion of practically all of
the commentators, is out to get"
those Democrats who have refus-
cd to follow White House advice

the Supreme Court reorganization

Gals, such as Ickes, James Roose-
welt and Harry Hopkins, endorse

ference is that their endorsements

So far. the Administration has
won victories in Oregon and Flori-
da. 1t has lost in Pennsylvania. On
the day after this column is writ

take place in Iowa. There Sena-

lie utilities is still held back by
politics"
Yet it must be recorded that in
the face of all of this, the feeling
among many recognized experts
that recovery is enroute has not
abated. Business Week reflected
the attitude of this group when
it said: None of the current de
velopments need interfere with
the grounds for expecting better
business in the autumn months.
For the person looking at the eco
nomic cycle of prosperity and de
preston as whole, the emphasis
should perhaps be laid on the
coming revival. Whether that re-
vival will carry far, or will mere
ly mean a moderate recovery af-
ter a severe decline. it would be
premature to forecast at this
time"

WAGE WARNING
FOR D. C. FIRMS

Warning that District employ
erS in interstate commerce must
pay workers at least Is cents an
hour came today from officials
of the new Wage and Hour Di-
vision.
Earl H. Dahlberg, enforcement
officer in the District and IA
States for the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act, which became effective
yesterday, emphasized that work
ers paid less than the ascent
minimum could sue for double the
amount of wage withheld.
For the time being, he added,
underpaid workers will have to
resort to the courts on their own
initiative because the wage and
hour division has no funds with
which to enforce the law. i
Funds with which to hire inspec-
tors to see that employers comply
with the law, he said, probably
will be made available at the COM
ing session of Congress.
A decision has not been reached
it was said, concerning whether
long-range enforcement of the act
here, now temporarily under Dahl
berg's supervision, would be han
died exclusively by the Federal
agency or through the existing
District Minimum Wage Board
Miss Gwen Geach, secretary of
the local wage board, reported
she had no figures showing the
number of workers here who re.
ceive less than the 25-cent mini
mum hourly wage.

4. A currency agreement in
which the United States would
be included.
Revelation that these virtua
demands are now in possession oi
the British and French govern
ments coincided with a meeting ot
Britain's special cabinet committee
to consider legislation for inclusion
into the kings speech at the
reopening of parliament next
month.
In particular, it was learned. the
committee considered defense
measures and the general Euro
pean situation, with special refer,
ence to the Hitler policy and early
ratification of the Anglo-Italian
friendship pact. Premier MuSsolini
cleared the way for putting this
agreement into effect by with
drawing 10000 of his troops from
Spain.
Following the cabinet commit
tee meeting, Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain presided over
special meeting Of the commit.
tee of imperial defense.
Speed Rearn10naent
All Britain's defense chiefs at
tended the session and reviewed
recommendations designed to in.
crease the tempo of the empires
rearmament. This was considered
especially significant in view Of
the sweeping nature of the Ger
man program.
Regarding colonies, 1t was
learned, Hitler has admitted that
Britain is unable to return the pre-
war German colonies of Tangany-
ika and West Africa. But he in
sisted upon return of all other
former German colonies and addi-
tional territory to compensate for
loss of Tanganyika and West
Africa.
In this connection, Hitler indi-
Gated he would like a portion of
the Belgian Congo and Angola
to make a German colonial do
main along the African west coast.
Wants Huge Unit
Der fuehrer insisted that the
German colonial domain he en-
visageS cannot be scattered all
over Africa but must form a
territorial unit.
In addition, he demanded there
must be no restrictions upon con-
Struction of German naval and
military bases unless Britain and
France agree to make and abide
by similar restrictions.
Hitler's ambitions in Europe also
were revealed in his price of
peace"
He declared that he must have
a prior claim to Hungarian wheat
and Rumanian oil exports-com-
modities which would vastly in
crease the strength and resources
of the Nazi Reich in the event Of a
European war.

RACINE, Wis, Oct. IS. vii.
liam Horlick Sidley, 26, testified
here that his mother. Mrs. Mabelle
Horlick Sidley, matted milk heiress,
was treated like a 2.year-old child
by W.. Perkins Bull. Toronto bar
rister in whose home she died
July 6.
Young Sidley is objecting to the
probate of his mothers will dispos.
ing of an estate estimated at
$4,00O,OOO.
OBJECTIONS FILED
The heir filed his objection on
the ground his mother was Of
unsound mind at the time she
signed her will, and that the docu-
ment was not legally drawn. The
will, which left equal one-third
shares of the estate TO Sidley and
to Bull, was drawn in the home
of the Toronto attorney, where
Mrs. Sidley lived a year and
half before her death.
Sidley said his mothers mind
'deteriorated steadily prior to her
death. He recited long list Of
actions which he said led him to
the conclusion she was Of child

a matter of time until all industry uses its
men part time in the plant and part time on
the farm.
"The division will be about $685. the men

ture"
The motor magnate, probably the greatest
industrialist in the economic era created by
the industrial revolution, told his idea of the
future in answer to the question whether his
experiments in combining farm and factory
work could be expanded to scale large
enough to stabilize employment, particularly
in the automobile industry, where employment
spurts and slumps are regular.
"Of course, the automobile industry needs
stabilization most" he said "but all indus
try will be changed in time. There must be
a closer relationship between agriculture
and industry.
'"The change will not be sudden, it will not
come overnight, but it will come gradually,

the need for State laws to bring

request with State legislation.
