Fire Prevention Week
Begins October 9Th

Next month, a week will be given
to informing the public of the hazards
of one of mans most destructive en-
emies- uncontrolled fire. Fire Pre-
vention Week, which has been an an
nual event ever since it was proclaim
ed by President Wilson more than two
decades ago, will begin October 9th
and run through the 18th.
A few vivid figures illustrate the
Importance of the Week. Each year
fire destroys about S300,OO0,0O0 worth
Of property directly-and the indirect
loss brings the total to the billion
dollar mark. Worse yet, it kills 10,-
600 people horribly-an average Of 27
each day. This is what carelessness,
ignorance and incompetence breed.
There isn't hamlet in the country
which won't be reached to some extent
through Fire Prevention Week activi-
ties. And there isn't a citizen in the
country who can provide sound ali
bi if he fails to absorb some of the
simple facts and information that are
all that is needed to prevent and con-
troll most fires. Governors of states
and other public officials will take part.
Insurance organizations will issue
pamphlets, run advertisements in
newspapers and periodicals, and pre-
pare window displays. Fire marshals
and chiefs will speak. Every media of
communication. involving the spoken
and printed word will be brought into
play in concentrated national effort
to make the Week a success.
Believe it or not, fire prevention is
fun-even as instruction in fire pre-
vention is nowadays made dramatic
and entertaining. 1t doesn't take much
in either time or money. 1t does pay
tremendous dividends. Mark down the
date of Fire Prevention Week on your
calendar-and get into the swim.

He went on to say:
"It is when organized workers and
organized employers cannot settle
their differences that it is necessary
for the government to take hand.
However, there is limit to the extent
that government should assume control
of activities which fundamentally be-
long to labor union, itself. Too much
dictatorial control and regulation
would destroy organized labor as a
free agency of the workers.
"This nation is dedicated to the
greatest principle of all-human free
dom. Freedom Of speech, freedom of
the press and personal liberty were
conceived and written into the Con-
stitution by our forefathers.
Unions Must Be Free
'Tn the same degree that individual
citizens enjoy freedom, so also must
an organization of individuals retain
it's freedom. The Federal government
is now undertaking the regulation OF

Economic Chances
From Page One)

Year Book finds, there existed no eco
nomic reason for a recession in the
United States. 1t admits, however,
the existence of disturbing factors such
as: the uncertainty Of the world po-
litical situation; the wide and deep dis
agreement within the country as re-
CARDS social policy; the unpromising
situation of the railroads, public utili-
ties and the building industry; and the
absence of a thorough-going revival
of the investment market.
New Factors Seen
"These and other, elements in the
situation" it says, "lent themselves
as partial explanations of the set
back. 1t is probable, though, that new
factors in the economic situation
played a part. 1t is naturally impos-
sible to estimate with any certainty
their quantitative Importance, but that
they tended to operate to some extent
would appear reasonably certain.
"The first of these new factors is
that the United States for some years
now has been engaged in working out
a monetary technique aiming essen
TALLY at achieving and maintaining a
high level of business activity. This
technique is in process of being learn
ed both by those applying it and by
the business community to which it is
being applied. In such circumstances
mistakes and misunderstanding easily
occur.
Initiation Didn't Come
"For number of years, as part of
the process of recovery, banking
| funds had been made available in
abundance. From this abundance many
inferred that a great inflationary
movement was to be expected. When
in course of time the monetary au-
thorities took steps to obviate this dan
ger by increasing the reserve per.
centage to be held by banks and steri.
lizing the new gold coming into the
country, this belief in prospective in.
fation was destroyed.
"About the same time the big Gov.
ernmental expenditures, designed ir
large part to swell the flow of demand
were gradually decreased as recovery
became more pronounced
Causes of Slump Conjectural
Had business at that time been ready
to step in with considerable borrow
ing for new equipment and capital de-
velopment generally, the Year Book
asserts, recovery might we'll have con
tinued. Why business failed to rur
under its own motive power, it says
is matter for conjecture, at least sc
far as the relative Importance of the
different factors is concerned.
One reason it mentions is the over
stocked position of American indus
try. Another is that of the so-calleo
Capital strike"-the holding back Of
business enterprise by reason of dis
like or a distrust in the policy of tht
Government, and particularly it's la
Dor and taxation measures. A thirt
is the Stock Exchange debacle.

LONDON, June l4.-Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain told the House of
Commons today that Britain planned
no retaliatory action because of the
bombing In the Mediterranean, but
was trying to work out . system OF
safety zones to end the attacks.
In his eagerly awaited statement at
the first session following Parliament S
Whitsun recess, Premier Chamberlain
said two proposals had been made
which might go some way toward ces-
sation Of these attacks"
The first provides for the establish
ment Of safety zones in certain harbors,
which. although it presents consider
able difhculties. is being actively in
vestigated, the Prime Minister said.
The second plan. he continued, was
proposed Saturday by the Spanish in
surgent government: That "a port in
Spanish government territory should
be selected outside the zone OF mill
tary operations for the use of British
ships. which could enter or leave 1t
unhindered.
Spoke to Pushed House.
Premier Chamberlain spoke to .
puzzled and critical House. He re-
ported that since April II, ~ British
ships had been attacked.
Eleven OF these ships have been
sunk or seriously damaged and in
several cases the attack appears to
have been deliberate" the Premier
said.
His majesty's government have
considered retaliatory action of vari-
Gus kinds but they are not pre-
pared to embark on such measures
which, apart from their inherent dis
advantages, cannot be relied upon TO
achieve their object"
Labor to Press for Debate.
Clement R. Attlee. leader of the
Labor opposition, announced at con-
clusion of the Prime Minister'S state
ment that lin view of the grave Is
sues" involved Labor would press for
an early debate on the subject.
The House had reconvened intent
on hearing the governments plans
for coping with deadly insurgent air
attacks on British shipping.
Premier Chamberlain said that un-
less Britain were prepared to take
an active part in hostilities" effec-
tive protection could not be guaran-
teed to British ships trading with
ports in the war zone while in terri
torial Spanish waters.
He said the government felt it could
not recommend course which might
well result in a spread Of the conflict
far beyond its present limits"

WAGE-HOUR BILL
CHIEF |SAWA|TED
Administrator Could Hold
Chances of South Under
Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Souths chances of obtaining
pay diferentials in the wage hour
bill may depend on President Roose-
velt'S choice of an administrator for
the far-reaching program
Senator Ellender, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, who led the fight for a
flexible wage scale, said today it
would be possible for the administra- =
tor to interpret the act in such \ way
as to nullify many Of the sectional
factors which otherwise might help
determine wage minima.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, expressing the Northern view
point, said Senator BLENDERS state
ment was particularly true in con-
nection with classification Of indus
tries by boards which will fix the
scales
Classiicati0ns to Be Made.
These boards will be empowered to
classify the units within each industry
and to establish varying wage minima
for each classification. but no mini
mum wage shall be fixed solely on 4
regional basis"
Senator Walsh contended this elimi-
mated all chance for geographical dif-
ferentials. Senator Ellender, on the
other hand, said he believed the word
solely" meant that geographical con-
siderations could be brought into play,
but that additional factors must be
considered
The bill directs the boards to study
transportation, living and production
costs. Senator Ellender said this
would divide the units in an industry
more on sectional basis than by size.
Representative Ramspeck, Democrat,
OF Georgia, who helped draft the COM
promise bill, agreed with Senators El-
lender and Walsh that reception of the
wage-hour program by the public
would depend on its administration.
If We get some man with rs much
sense as Joe Kennedy Ambassador to
Great Britain, it will work all right, "
Mr.. Ramspeck said. An irrespon-
sible administrator could make the
legislation as big mop rs the N. r. A.
Early Appointment Expected.
Senator Ellender said he thought the
President would appoint the admins
traitor soon after he signs the bill.
Congressman professed lack of in
formation on the possible appointee.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, Of New
York said he believed Isador Lubin,
Commissioner of Labor Statistics,
might be happy choice" Senator
Walsh commented that l. Metcalfe
Walling, q Labor Department Official,
was familiar with that sort of work
through his fixing Of wage and hour
standards under the Public Con-
tracts Act.
One Senator suggested Chairman
Norton of the House Labor Committee,
who piloted the legislation through
the House.
