tier. This would cut Czechoslo.
vakia Of from its little entente
ally, Rumania, and form a s;song
barrier between Germany and
Russia.
The reason for the govern
ment's new anxiety over Czecho-
slovakia, after its agreement to
the country's dismemberment IN
the interests of Nazi Germany,
was that as part Of the Munich
agreement, Britain and France
promised to guarantee Czechoslo'
vakia's new frontiers.
This was commitment taken
for the first time by Britain. Pre-
viously the government had prom.
ised only to- support France II
France went to the aid Of .Czecho-
sloyakia against a German attack.
When the Munich agreement
was signed, and the delegates Of
Great Britain, France, Germany
and Italy alike saw rainbow OF
peace in the diplomatic skies OF
Europe, this pledge seemed but a
polite gesture to Czechoslovakia-
one that would cost nothing.
But now, it was understood the
government feared that what was
called difficult situation" might
arise if Poland and Hungary
threatened to use forcible means
to get their demands for cession
of Czechoslovak Ruthenia or part
of Slovakia so that they could
have the common frontier they
have been talking about.

SEES EXPANSION
IN CONSTRUCTION
Head of Ulen & Co. Predicts
Business induces May
Hit New Highs.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Historical
precedent points to major expansion in
heavy construction activity over the
next two to four years. BY early fall 1t
looks as if $500, 100000 of added
construction work will be effective
through the ALLEGATION Of P. w. A.
funds. Additional momentum will
come from corporate building plans
which have been held IN allegiance
due to the undistributed profits tax.
If treasured by the action of the next
Congress that the 1898 form of profits
tax will be retained in the 1899 tax
bill, many of them will proceed with
their plans.
These observations are those Of
James H. Manning, president of Ulen
& Co., engaged in planning and d.
recting construction work in the
United States and in foreign coun-
tries. Mr.. Manning. former presi-
dent of Stone g. Webster Engineering
Corp, believes much of the present
reluctance of corporation executives
to push forward with new building
will be dispelled in the next few years
when, in his opinion. business induces
may record new all-time highs.
The combination of high earnings
and high taxes and the present
element of rising costs, due to infla-
tionary trends, should produce, he
believes, little short of boom in the
construction industry The period
may, in some respects, parallel that of
the late 2Os in France, when manu-
facturers rushed to convert idle funds
into new construction, while their
purchasing power was comparatively
high. He sees two other factors which
will make for more interest in con-
struction. They are:
l. 1ndustry's decentralization pro-
gram-now under way-which calls
for the construction of new and the
modernization of old buildings in va
rious parts of the country.
2. Social service-Which industry is
assuming to provide more healthful
working conditions for its employees.
In many instances, this obligation
will include the construction of mod
ern buildings providing maximum of
light and air. Many of the present.
day factories were built in an era
when little thought was given to hy-
gienic conditions. They do not con-
form to the thought of the present
day, which is to provide a functional
architecture, practical in every respect.
The A. L. Hartridge Co., wholly
owned subsidiary of Ulen & Co., is
constructing five of the principal
buildings at New York's World Fair.
