Arab Leader Tells Britons Policy,
Not Italian Propaganda To Blame
In Breach OF Friendship OF Peoples

JERUSALEM, Jan. 4. (UP)-
Arab spokesman, commenting to-
day on inauguration of British
broadcasts to the near east to
combat anti-British propaganda,
said that the only way Great Brit
ain could regain Arab friendship
was to change her policy.
If Arab demands were met,
they said, no amount Of Italian
propaganda would be effective.
The British broadcasts to her
near cast territories were under
taken to combat propaganda from
Italy's Bari station, which alleg-
eddy has been sending unfavor-
able propaganda.
The spokesman said that the
Arabs, after hearing part of yes
terday's broadcast before switch
ing off the program in favor of
that from the Bari station, pre-
ferred the Bari broadcasts be-
cause they conceded with Arab
views.
The speeches made from Lon

fective, it was asserted, because
they were not representative OF
Palestinian Arabs. ...

response from business to his

WAGNER LABOR
ACT CHANGES
TO Be OFFERED
Some Interpret Message as
Implying This Would
Be Acceptable
NEW DEAL SUPPORTERS
COOL TOWARD IDEA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (UP).
Senate minority leader Charles l..
Nc. Nary, R., Ore, said today that
he believed President Roosevclts
message TO congress had implied
a desire to amend the Wagner
labor relations act and to place
greater responsibility upon labor
unions.
His Interpretation of the presi-
dents message conceded with new
moves to change the disputed
statute. 1t also revived threats of
further party schism and a legis-
lative battle between the AT. l..
and Clio.
Senator Royal S. Copeland, D.,
n. Y, announced that he would
introduce a series of amendments
to the Wagner act "within a few
days" The draft is not yet COM
pleted, but it will request enact
ment of a federal law requiring
incorporation Of unions.
Chairman Ebert d. Thomas, D.,
Utah, of the senate labor COM
mittee, said that he would oppose
any attempt to amend the statrtc
now.
j McNary based his interpreta-
Ton of the presidents address
upon tie following excerpt:
"The ownership of vast proper
ties or the organization of thou
sands of workers creates a heavy
obligation of public service. The
power should not be sought or
sanctioned unless the responsible
ity is accepted as we'll"
The administration supporters
were cool to the idea of amending
the act. Majority Leader Albcn
w. Barley, D., Ky, said that he
was not ready to interpret the la
Dor section Of Mr.. Roosevclts ad-
dress, but that he was speaking
tonight on the entire administra-
ton program and might discuss
the Wagner act.
Chairman Mary 7. Norton of
the house labor committee, said
she would not oppose amending
the act if it would strengthen 1t.

Public Works Administrator Har-
old l.. Ickes gave a go ahead"
signal to 81 public power prof.
ects today as a result OF q su-
preme court decision upholding
the validity of municipal power
plants constructed with 'PWA

The projects will provide a
100000, 900 man-hour "shot in

have q construction cost OF

struction work would be speeded
as much as possible so that the

The unanimous court decision
in the PWA case was delivered
yesterday by Justice George Suth-

the validity. of PWA loans and
grants to municipalities for con.
struction of power systems. All
the Justices agreed that public
utilities were barred from chal-
longing the PWA program be-
cause municipal power systems
constituted fully authorized and

ROOSEVELT Warns ASSURANCE
LACKING TREATIES TO Be kept
Message to Congress Holds
Most Pointed Enuncia-
ton of Foreign Policy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (UP)
President Roosevelt yesterday
told congress and the world that
the United States wants peace
and that the army and navy are
going to be strong enough to
achieve it by commanding respect
from other nations.
ave must keep ourselves ade-
quately strong in self-defcnse,"
he said in his annual message.
There is trend in the world
away from the observance both
of the letter and the spirit of
treaties. We propose to observe,
as we have in the past, our own
treaty obligations, but we cannot
be certain Of reciprocity on the
part Of others"
Obviously addressing his re-
marks to foreign relationships
which h elinked with growing
disregard for treaty obligations,
Mr.. Roosevelt said that scrapping
of treaties seems to have followed
the surface trend away from the
Democratic representative form
Of government.
ut would seem, therefore," he
said, "that world peace through
international agreements, is most
safe in the hands of democratic
representative governments - or,
in other words, peace is most
greatly jeopardized in. and by
those nations where democracy
has been discarded or has never
developed.
81 have used Surface trend +"
he said, "for I still believe that
civilized man increasingly insists
and in the long run will insist on
genuine participation in his own
government. Our people believe
that over the years democracies
of the world will survive, and de-
mocracy will be restored or es-
tablished in those nations which
today know it not. In that faith
lies the future peace of mankind y
The message which was trans
lated into six languages and re-
broadcast to other nations, was
the chief executives most point
ed cnunciation Of foreign policy
since his Notwithstanding "quaran-
tine" speech at Chicago last fall.
At that time he suggested that
aggressive powers be "quarantln-
ed" so that they could no longer
menace international amity.
The president omitted direct
reference to his national defense
program but last week he an
nounced he would ask congress
sional authorization for addition
al warship construction which in
cludcs two super-dreadnaughts
and possibly four. Other sources
revealed meantime that the COM
bined army.navy budget request
for the next fiscal year will ag-
gregate more than a billion dol
lars, a peace-time high. In addi-
ton army and navy officials are
pleading for expansion of defense
arms on land and sea and IN the
air.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not mention
the Panay incident by name but
he had this to say with regard to
violation of American rights
abroad: LII

YOU that our nation is at peace.

BRITISH PACT MISSION
SAILS FOR u. S. SOON

LONDON, Jan. 4.-(UP)-
Great Britain is preparing to send
a delegation to the United States
in the next two weeks to start
negotiations for new trade
treaty.
1t was reported today that the
British board of trade, the treas
ury. the department of agricul-
ture, and probably the dcminions
office, will be represented in the
delegation that will go to Wash
ington, as we'll as the foreign Of
fee.
Belief here was also growing
that plans for big scale interna-
tional conferences hinged on
world economic problems, but &C
tually designed to stop the
worlds drift toward war, are
also being perfected.
Former Premier Paul Van Zee
land of Belgium, delegated by
Britain and France to investigate
possibilities for an international
economic conference, was report
ed to be ready to submit a report
to the British government. The
Daily Express, specializing on this
report, expressed belief today
that it would recommend:
i. A conference of European
nations this summer to discuss
plans for lower tariffs which
might increase the flow of trade
9. A later world conference at
London or Washington to consld,
er sterilization of currencles and
limitation and reduction of arma-
mentS.
In all discussion of information
al agreements on trade, the Unit
ed States assume key position
and hence the presidents mes
sage of yesterday was linked 10
them.
The keynote of feeling as Eu-
ropeans studied the message
seemed to be that the United
States was willing to play a NOR,
al role in aiding European and
world nations to preserve peace
but that it was not ready 10
abandon its traditional isolation
