SENATOR URGES
PROFIT SHARES
FOR LABORERS
Vandenburg Backs Plan
For Cooperation
In Industry "

WASHINGTON, May 21,
(UP)-Sen. Arthur H. Van
denburg, R., Mich, proposed
today the development of a
profits sharing system be-
tween management and labor. He
warned that capitalism to survive
must establish itself on more
cooperative basis "a,
There must be a sound oppor-
tunity for capital itself to earn
legitimate profits" he said in an
interview, but there must also be
a better means to permit the parti-
cipation of labor in the final profits
of its own production"
Vandenberg, potential candid
ate for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1910 and a bitter
critic of New Deal policies, recently
obtained approval for a senate
study of profit sharing systems. A
three man subcommittee of the fin
ance committee, comprising Van
denberg and Sens. Clyde L. Her.
ring, D., Ia, and Edwin G. john
son, d., Colo, will make the study.

Official circles in Berlin said
there was no reason for alarm. Inc
idea that German action was plan
ned met denials. Berlin newspapers,
government controlled, screamed,
however. that the Czechoslovakian
move was an affront to Nazi ma
tional honor. They demanded that
the Czechoslovak government take
immediate action to end "aggres-
sion" against the German minor
ity.
At Prague President Edouard
Benes described the present crisis
as the most critical since the World
war, and called upon his people TO
guard peace and keep steady
nerves and clear goal"
At London Viscount Halifax was
called home from Oxford because
of the seriousness of the interna-
tional situation. England is pledged
to support France in the event OF
war-and France has pledged her
self to protect the national free
dom of Czechoslovakia. Dictator
Adolf Hitler of Germany claims
control over the German minority
living in Czechoslovakia. Interna-
tional diplomats have feared he will
move on that country as he did
on Austria.
Complicating the international
situation was the cooling of newly
made friendship between Great
Britain and Italy. The Italo-Brittsh
friendship depends largely upon
friendship between France and Italy
and a proposed treaty between
those two nations met troubled
going among disputes over Spanish
intervention.
German officials insisted again
Saturday that their troop move
mentS on the Czech frontier have
no significance. 1t was noted, how
ever, that they were similar to
movements which preceded inva-
sion of Austria. The one great diff
ference was that Austria had no
mutual assistance treaties with any
of the great powers. Czechoslovakia
has.
