offer and state in writing what the
procedure Of ratification should be.
3. That both sides agree at once on
a time for resuming conferences. with
the understanding that there should
be no discontinuance until a settle

Labor Declared on Trial.
As 1000 delegates to the conven-

The recent speeches of Assistant At
torney General Robert H. Jackson on
business and monopoly do not neces-
sarily' represent the attitude of the
Department Of Justice, Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings today told a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee considering
Mr.. Jackson's nomination to be Solici-
tor General.
Senator Austin, Republican. of Ver-
mont, who raised the question, also
served notice on Mr.. jackson that if
he has an opportunity at the next
meeting he intends to ask the nominee
just what Mr. Jackson said at various
times recently about business and anti
trust policies. With that in view, he
suggested Mr. Jackson bring copies
Of his speeches when he returns.
Il will be glad to bring those or any
other data the subcommittee desires,
but think you will find most of the
speeches already in the Congressional
Record Mr.. Jackson smilingly told
Senator Austin.
Questioned on Economic Views.
After an hour Of routine testimony
by Mr.. Cummings as to the record and
| qualifications Of the nominee, Mr..
Austin suddenly switched the discus
sion to Mr.. Jacksons economic views
by asking the Attorney General if the
nominees recent speeches on holding
companies and monopolies reflected
the view OF the department.
The attitude Of the Department OF
Justice, as indicated by the speeches
Of the Attorney General. is a matter
Of record" Mr.. Cummings first re-
piled.
The Vermont Senator insisted, how
ever. he wanted to know whether Mr..
Jackson's speeches represented the
Departments position.
Il think it would be fair to say that
the speeches Of Mr.. Jackson represent
the views of highly trusted official
In the Department Of Justice said
the Attorney General.
More Definite Statement Asked.
Senator King. Democrat. of Utah,
and Senator Austin both pressed for
more definite statement, and Mr..
Cummings answered that the speeches
referred to did not necessarily" re-
fleet the departments attitude, or
bind the department.
THE Department of Justice" he
added, could not afford to be bound
by the views of any one except the At
torney General"
In response to Senator King, the
Attorney General said that as solicitor
general Mr.. jackson would not have
charge of initiating antitrust suits.
That, he said, would be done by Who
ever succeeds Mr.. Jackson in his
present post of head of the Anti
Trust Division.
Hearings Not Concluded.
At the outset Senator King said
while he> had no objection to pro-
ceeding today. he did not want hear
ings concluded, explaining there were
some matters he wants to look into.
He said he did not learn of the sub
committee meeting until this morning.

The Nays chief OF operations told
Congress today the enormous in
creases" in naval strength recently
undertaken by Great Britain and
Japan made it imperative for the
United States to strengthen its fleet
Immediately
Admiral William D. Leahy, testify
ing before the House Naval Commit
tee, asserted this country's national
security had been jeopardized by the
ships armament programs launched
by foreign powers since the expira-
ton Of the 1880 Londo1. naval treaty.
He appeared before the committee
to discuss legislation to carry out
President Roosevelt's recommendations
for an $800,000,00 naval expansion
program.
Describing political conditions in the
world as far more threatening than at
any time since 1918" Admiral Leahy
added there was no improvement in
sight"
Cites Anti-Red Pact.
He called attention to the anti-C Com
munist pact between Germany, Italy
and Japan. telling the committee it
could not be questioned" that there
had been complete breakdown" of
international efforts to limit naval
armaments. This. he said, and dis
turbed political conditions, amply JUS
thy the proposed naval expansion in
this country.
A navy has two purposes, Admiral
Leahy added. The first is to prevent
war. the second Is to bring any war
that might occur to q speedy close.
with 4 minimum loss of lives and eco
nomic assets.
A fleet. he said, should insure In
ternational respect for the United
States and make an attack too costly
and hazardous for any nation to at
tempt"
Admiral Leahy declared the ex-
pansioa plan was not SUFFICIENT to
guard against attack on both shores
at one time" adding that it was not
prompted by any thought of az
gresslve action or of policing the
world"
He said it would require three
times the prospective increase for the
United States to take aggressive
action overseas" with any assurance
of success.
Defense Of Own Shores.
After telling of the United States
requirements for defense of its own
shores, Admiral Leahy asserted there
was another reason for a larger Navy,
He said there was nothing to prevent
the seizure" Of South American re-
publics If the Monroe Doctrine breaks
down" except the seapower of the
United States.
Submitting tables showing COM
PARSONS between the United States
Fleet and those of other countries,
Admiral Leahy described the subma-
rine situation as serious" He said
this country had fewer under-age sub
marines than any other world naval
power, except Germany.
Admiral Leahy said capital ships
battleships or battle cruisers-were
the backbone of naval power because
they represent the greatest concen-
tration Of fighting strength and power
in q single hull"
After the United States and other
powers complete construction pro-
