reduce the Federal spending pro-.
gram would create the risk OF an.

Government spending must be con-
tinued on its present large scale
until such time rs the national
income has reached the point that
private agencies find 1t necessary
to employ those who are now pub
licly employed"
Values cannot be sustained under
an economy that lacks employment
and mass buying power" he told
the bankers forum. IAN attempt
to cut down expenditure, whether
private or public, before we have
reached Z national income reflect
ing reasonably full use of our man.

would be very short-sighted repe-
tition Of mistake which has been
made before"
Compared with an estimated ma

country needed an $88, 900 900 900 in

He said private industry must

The Textile Workers Union Joined
the T. w. o. c. in March, 1887, and
U. T. w. official estimated it has
since paid in about $500, 900 in dues.
He said some 40 locals had afiiliated
with the American Federation of

Don't Disturb b
Peace, WARSAW
Is Told

LONDON, Oct. l QN.S0.-AS
'harassed Czechoslovakia once more
capitulated-this time to Poland
reports were current in diplomatic
quarters today that Soviet Russia
has sent a new warning to War
saw against any attack upon the
Czechs.
The new Moscow warning was
said to have called attention once
more to the previous Russian
threat that Moscow would re-
nounce the Soviet-PoliSh non-ag-
greSsion pact if the Poles invade
Teschen, the area of Czechoslo-
vakia where some 10000 Poles live
under the Prague regime.
Today's warning was believed to
have added that Moscow would
hold Poland for the consequences
if the Polish army, row drawn up
along the frontier facing Teschen,
crosses the border to strike.
1t also was learned that Great
Britain and France have in
structed their ENJOYS in Warsaw
to lodge vigorous representations
with the Polish government, pro-
testing in advance against any
action likely to disturb the Euro
pean peace settlement worked out
at the "big four" Munich confer
ence.
Meanwhile, there were increas-
ing indications here that Spain
will be the next problem toward
which the statesmen of Europe,
particularly the heads of the big
four" powerS-Germany, Italy,
Britain and France-Will turn
their attention.
Premier Mussolini is understood
to have invited Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain, spark plug of
the Munich peace agreement, to
visit II Duce in Rome as soon as
possible.
Chamberlain was reported con-
sidering a holiday cruise in the
Mediterranean in the near future
to rest after the arduous weeks of
the war scare, during which he
labored night and day in the
cause of peace.
Such a trip, it was believed,
would give him a chance to confer
with MusSolini, and it was con-
sidered possible that they might
be joined by Premier Daladier of
France.
Amid rejoicing which continued
after the jubilant greeting &C
corded Chamberlain yesterday,
when he returned from Munich,
still more revelations were forth
coming to indicate the new deal
he and the French, German and
Italian government chiefs wrought
will almost bury the Versailles
treaty under a new peace system.
