controversies"
1.-THE money--and 1t was whole
lot of money-that was spent in direct
relief saved this country from dis
orders and riots. For 10 millions Of
people would never starve peaceably.
Another bunch of this money-and it
was another large amount-provided
public work for millions of men and
women and kept them from the
humiliation of being objects of public
charity and preserved them from the
blasting effects of idleness until
private jobs were available. A third
batch of this money-and again it
was a lot of money-established the
G. c. C. camps and took care Of the
young people who were arriving at
working age with no jobs in sight.
I leave 1t to your imagination
what would have become of these had
they been set adrift without work
and without hope"
Mr.. Farley blamed operation of the
law Of supply and demand for starting
the present business recession.
I'VE produced" he asserted, IAN
excess of things people wanted to buy,
but lacked the purchasing power to do
so. So inventories grew and lot Of
goods stopped on the shelves, and the
wheels of industry slowed down again.
Prices were too high for the pur-
chasing power of the mass. The mar
ket did not keep pace with the advance
of machinery which permitted in
creased production with fewer men.

REICH REPORTED
END|NGC CHINA AID
Staff of 40 Army Advisers
Said to Have Been
Recalled.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HANKOW, China, May 23.-Berlin
dealt China's war resistance hopes a
heavy blow, it was said authoritatively
today, by ordering the recall of Gen.
Alexander Won Falkenhausen and his
entire staff of 40-odd German mill
tary advisers to the army of Gen.
eraliSsimo Chang Kai-shek.
The withdrawal was said to have
been ordered after strong urging by
Toxic on the basis of the German
Japanese pact to combat Communism.
Chinese Notified.
German authorities in HankoW to-
day Informally notified the Chinese
government of the step, but pending
its consideration by Gen. Chang there
was no comment. Gen Chang pres
emily is reported directing the fight
along the vital Lunghai Railway.
Although the German officers con-
tracts with the Chinese government
are of personal nature, it was under
steod reliably that they had little
choice but to comply with recall in
stfuct.ons. Hope for some modifica-
ton. however, was not completely
abandoned
SEHhld the Germans depart from
China there would be ended seven
years of German endeavor to assist
Gen. Chang in building an army
capable of fighting China's battles.
Many Experts Helped.
This endeavor was advanced by a
succession of notable experts, the
most eminent being the late Maj.
Gen. Hans Won Seeckt, known for
his organization of the Reichswehr,
Germany's post-Versaille army.
. Won Seeckt conceived the broad
outlines and selected Won Falken-
hausen to remain in China to execute
the program.
During the IS months prior to the
war which began last July the Ger
mans achieved much improved Or
ganization, training and equipment
for the Chinese Army. To them also
has been credited much sound advice
on successful maneuvering against the
japanese on the Central China front.
1t was reported in Hong Kong that
German agents also were ceaSlng to
supply China with military supplies.
There have been rumors in Hong Kong
that German Diesel trucks arriving
there were not being unpacked, but
local agents denied that such was the
case

Surrender of 10000 Reported.
Bv ELMER W. PETERSON,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
WITH THE JAPANESE ARMY IN
CENTRAL CHINA, May 23.-The
Japanece field command said today
that 10000 demoralized Chinese SOL
diers have surrendered since the fall
of Suchow.
The number of prisoners mounted
rapidly as Japanese forces relentlessly
pursued fragments Of the routed Chi
nece Army fleeing from the conquered
Central China railroad zone.
FLYING over the Suchow area in a
Japanese war plane, I saw a ghastly
srSctacle of desperate, shattered Chi
nese fighting for their lives in the
Suchow trap
The japanese said they had mar
rowed the trap down to an area
= roughly IL miles in diameter. CENTER
ing on the Lushan Hills. midway be-
tween Suchow and Suhsien.
Passing over Suchow at 500 feet, 1t
could be plainly seen that the Jap
anese were in full possession of that
city, junction of the Lunghai and
Tientsin-Pukow Railways. The Ris-
ing Sun flag floated over the city and 1t
swarmed with japanese troops, tanks
and trucks.
In the adjacent fighting zone, where
the japanese say more than 2OO,000
Chinese were caught, tanks motorized
units and infantry could be seen pur-
suing groups of fugitives across the
fields, harrassing them with machine
gun and rifle fire.
The terrain was Uttered with ruined
villages, wrecked bridges, devastated
farm houses and endless lines OF
trenches.
Operations around Suchow have
turned into widespread open warfare,
In Shanghai, japanese army
spokesman said gap approx
mately 80 miles long still existed along
the Tientsin-Pukow Railway through
which several Chinese divisions al
ready have fled westward The jap
anese previously had claimed the Su-
chow area was completely encircled
and that the Chinese trapped there
were faced with either surrender or
humiliation.
The admission that gap remained
unclosed was taken to mean that the
Chinese still have a possible outlet to
the west and that others probably will
, escape.
Dispatches reaching Shanghai told
of the japanese pressing their cam
paign westward along the Lunghai into
Honan Province while forces in the Su-
chow area were mopping up.
Purpose of this drive was to sever
the Peiping- -Hankow Railway some
where between Chengchow and Han
kow, present seat of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's Central Chinese
government.
The japanese offensive west along
the Lunghai was aimed at Chengchow,
junction on the Lunghai and Peiping-
: Hankow Railway in Honan Province.
It Is 270 miles due north of Hankow,
which the Japanese have expressed de-
termination to capture.

Eight Local Cases in Supreme Court
"Take It On The Chin and Smile," Says John Goss

Business executives must have and use a sense of humor and must be able to take it on the chin" and smile. declared John H. Goss, vice-president and general manager of the Scovill Mfg. Co. of this city in an address delivered yesterday before the American Management Association Person. mel Conference at Chicago.
 MT. Goss said, according to dis patches, First, under no circum- stances lose your sense of humor in your employees presence, and if you haven't a sense of humor, let some other executive meet them. If you have no such men at the top it's just too bad. Second, un- der no circumstance lose your temper in their presence. Third, don't say no on the first approach, at least not until you have thor oughly discussed their proposition and even then not until you have submitted counter proposal thereby forcing them to discuss your ideas of program as well as their own"
 MT. Goss is one of the best known business executives in the country, and has frequently been invited to deliver addresses on personnel and on the relationship between employer and employe. He is a member of the Connecti- cut State Board of Mediation and Arbitration.
