NORRIS SAYS JAPAN
RUNNING AMUCK'
Senator Reiterates Boycott
Stand to Prevent Aiding
in a "Murder."
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Senator Norris, independent, OF
Nebraska, sole remaining Senator who
voted against Americas entry into
the World War, said yesterday ne had
become convinced that the United
States should maintain strong Navy
because Japan is running amuck."
Though he has been a critic of
armament appropriations for many
years, Senator Norris said he had
come to feel that 1--WE must not de-
crease our naval expenditures" He
made this remark in commenting on
President Roosevelt's intimation that
additional naval construction may be
sought.
Senator Norris advocated a firm
stand for the maintenance Of rights
Of American citizens in China, de-
claring Japan is intent on seizing
all of that country.
IF China should tell us to get out
Of China, that would be her own busi-
ness and we should get out. But if
any third power orders us out of
China, then we should stand on our
rights" the NebraSkan declared.
Urges Boycott.
He said he realized that in taking
this stand he probably would receive
a great deal of condemnation, while
others will write me to say they never
knew I was a great man until now"
he added with twinkle in his eye.
He was bitter. however, in his con-
demnation Of what he termed "Japa-
nese aggression" He recalled that he
had read reports that 0,0O0 Chinese
had been killed by japanese invaders.
"A great many Of them have been
women and children" he said. Many
Chinese soldiers who surrendered and
laid down their arms have been killed
by the Japanese. This has been
nothing but murder
Il don't see how any civilized ma
tion could pursue such policy as
this. Japan is running amuck"
At the same time. the Senator urged
boycott of anything and everything
that comes from Japan" in replying to
letter from Earl Constantine, New
York City, managing director of the
National Association of Hosiery
Manufacturers.
Contribution to Murder.
Mr.. Constantine had written Sena-
tor Norris protesting the latter's boy
colt stand on the grounds that it
would be harmful to American manu-
facturers of silk goods, who get a
major portion of their raw silk from
Japan, and that it would bring unem-
ployment to their workers.
I cannot give my approval to any
patronage which might go to the
japanese government, or the japanese
people under present circumstances.
the Senator wrote. Even though silk
stockings may be extremely desirable,
so far as the women of America are
concerned, do not see how any one
can contribute in any way to japan,
knowing that the money going to Ja-
pan will be used to destroy innocent
human lives"
He said he could not agree that the
American loss or inconvenience arising
from boycott would be as great as
Mr.. Constantine had described in his
letter.
Senator Norris said he believed that
IF Japan succeeds in her conquest Of
China, she soon will be producing her
own cotton and will purchase no more
American cotton whatever"

The New Year messages, to which

AMEND LABOR ACT

Influences Work Against
Recovery, Statement of
G. H. Davis Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce today recommended changes in
the Wagner Labor Relations Act to
correct what 1t termed influences
working strongly against economic re-
covery."
George H. Davis, president of the
chamber, criticized both the act and
| its administration in statement
which followed by only a few days
President Roosevelt's announcement
that some revision of the law would
be considered
Mr. Roosevelt told reporters last
week he had no specific changes in
mind, but he agreed with President
William Green Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor that the act should
be clarified.
Mr.. Davis said the Chamber of
Commerce wanted amendments to:
Prohibit coercion of employees by
union groups and others, as we'll as
by employers.
Responsibility Of Unions.
Define unfair labor practices so that
unions also would be held responsible.
Permit employers to ask action of
! the Labor Board. This now is limited
to employees.
Mr.. Davis charged the boards pro-
ceedings have not been fair and i'm
partial and there has been ample
demonstration Of the fact that the
legislation has not fulfilled its stated
purpose OF lessening industrial dis
! putes"
He asserted the act does not provide
adequate protection against encroach-
ment by majorities upon the rights of
| individuals"
The majority rule actually operates
/ to prevent large numbers OF employees
from being represented by labor Or
carnations Of their own selection" he
! said

have the right to organize and bar
gain collectively with their en-
ployers through representatives Of
their own choosing 1t forbids en-
ployers to interfere with the exer.

EmpIoye Protection.
Mr.. Davis said that If the labor act
is to operate, it is essential that its
provisions adhere to the following
principles:
To the extent that it is feasible for
the Federal Government to protect
employees against interference in the
exercise of the right Of self-organiza-
ton. such protection should extend to
practices engaged in not only by en-
ployers but by employees and others.
Legislative restrictions affecting
employer-employe relations should be
so clearly and definitely set forth
IN the statute as to enable all parties
concerned to understand their rights
and obligations.
These restrictions should apply
only to practices that are properly
subject to Federal regulation.
"All provisions of the act should be
so formulated as to assure impartiality

and employees and as between particu-
lar kinds of labor organization

FORD LUNCHEON
talk CENTERED
upon SPENDING
BY EARL GOODWIN

The famous WHITE House lunch
con with Henry Ford as guest Of
honor can be ticketed as a small
ring-sized battle over the very
same thing that is likely to be the
subject Of the major political bat.
tie for several weeks.
The only major topic discussed
at the luncheon was the Admins.
tration's spending policy. Mar
riner Eccles, Federal Reserve
Board chairman, defended it; Mr..
Ford assailed it-even going so far
as to read from a prepared paper
on the subject.
CAMPAIGN PLANNED
The Administration generally is
ordering a tremendous forward
charge on the part OF its best
speakers and writer's to explain
and warmly defend the spending
policy. The Administration has
let itself get on the defensive with
regard to the policy, but this is
partly due to the fact that the
President had waited just as long
as he dared before he sent his
spend-and-lend message to Con-
gresS and talked to the people of
the country by radio the same
night.
Opposition to the spending
policy is largely represented in
Washington by G. o. P. members
of Congress; but there is an omi-
nous unanimity among newspaper
editors against the whole New
Deal attitude toward business and
toward the recession"
SUMMED UP BY FRANK
The head Republican adviser,
DR.. Glenn Frank, epitomizes the
Republican attitude when he says
that the proposed spending pro-
gram. if it does not prime the
pump, at least pumps the prim-
aries.
The Administrations spokesman
have been doing more than the
ordinary amount of research and
writing on the subject. Beginning
9 few days ago with Charlie"
MichaelSon's weekly column "Dis-
polling the Fog" the attack on the
G. o. P. continues this week with
Postmaster General Farley speak
ing in Columbia, S. c., and AS
SiStant Attorney General keenan,
speaking the next night at the
same place.
Main theme of the opponents
Of spending is that it will not
work; that it will be printing only
and not lead to a continued flow.
The New Deal answers in the
picturesque word picture Of
Charlie" Michaelson:
Suppose a child had the
mumps, and the doctor fixed him
UP, and that five years later
the same child had another at
tack of the mumps. How SEN
sible would it be to say that the
doctor should not use the same
method he used before to effect
cure?"
