leaders not only deny that we have
reached maturity, but assert that
our present possibilities of growth
are greater than ever. Alfred P.
Sloan, jr., chairman of General
Motors, the largest money-maker
among American corporations in the
first half year, recently stated:
The horizons of enterprise were
never broader than they are today.
New knowledge and new skills have
opened up fields of possibilities little
dreamed of even a decade ago. There
exist the elements that will i'm

which only opportunity can supply
These social and economic goals lie

Business feels that changing Gov
ernment policies have tied the hands
of private investment and prevented
it from exploiting new fields, creating
new products and jobs A dollar

tomorrow's rules, regulations and

Figures
What They Mean
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Is American
industry still growing?
Business leaders are confident it
is. On the other hand, the Federal
administrations methods of dealing
with some phases of the economic
maladjustments of recent years have
led to the conclusion the New Deal
idea is that, for the present anyway.
industry has about reached the end
of its resources for expansion.
The arguments on both sides seem
pretty convincing, but leave the lay
man confused And yet if any one
could prove conclusively what is the
right answer, certain economists
believe it would settle the conflict
between the New Deal ahd business
and speed up recovery in miraculous
fashion.
Point to Idle Money.
Some New Deal policies are aimed
at relieving the pains of maturity
and compensating for the slowing
down in our rate of growth. Ad-
ministration economists believe that
many of our depression difficulties
spring from this condition: That
there are no longer the opportunities
for expansion which created employ
ment and doomed business in the
20s and earlier.
They point to the low volume of
private investment and to money
lying idle in banks as evidence that
we are now mature and that we can
no longer find sufficient number
of new investment opportunities to
absorb our savings. Rather than let
this purchasing power lie unused,
New Dealers feel that it is the proper
function of the Government to
borrow the money and make up for
the smaller volume OF private invest

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-Led by the
utilities the stock market rallied
from poor start today and leading
issues registered gains of fractions
to as much as 2 points at their best.
At the opening the list found it
hard to move ahead and it was not
until near midday, when traders
sought the power company shares in
some force, that the recovery swing
appeared. Volume increased and
transfers approximated 100000
shares.
Steels, motors and specialties
joined the utility bloc on the up
side as the session wore on.
New 1889 Highs.
Stocks to hit new 1899 highs in
cluded Western Union, Brooklyn
Union Gas, American Can, Du
Pont, Celanese and Burlington
Mills.
Other gamers were United States
Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors,
Chrysler, American Telephone. Con-
soidated Edison, Anaconda, Phelps
Dodge, Westinghouse Electric,
Union Carbide, Philip Morris, Santa
Fe, BendiX, Sears Roebuck and
United States Rubber.
Minus signs were attached to U.
S. Gypsum. j. l. Case and a scat
tering of others at the close.
Some profit taking appeared at
the finish, shaving gains.
Bonds pointed a little higher.
Commodities were uneven. In late
dealings cotton had lost 40 to IS
cents bale At Chicago wheat
was unchanged to up "a of a cent
bushel, and corn unchanged to %
of cent ahead.
The London market improved
after selling down a bit Paris and
Amsterdam Bourses slipped.
Higher on the Curb were Alum
mum Co., Newmont Mining and
Pepperell.
Congress Action Studied.
Traders tried to appraise the
meaning of the administration de-
feat in the House on the lend-spend
bill.
Contrasting with the surface in
difference of the market around the
opening was ferment of discussion
in brokers boardrooms and business
circles over implications of the ad-
mlnistratlon setback on spending,
rated by many the most important
aspect of Government activities
under the New Deal from the busi-
ness standpoint.
Some brokerage house commenta-
tors assured their followers the news
was "bullish" in the long run. They
reasoned most business men would
approve and that increased business
confidence eventually would aid re-
vival in private spending and in
vestment on a scale more than suff-
icent to make up for elimination of
the latest lend-spend proposals.
Others more friendly to the Gov
ernment investment" idea, particu-
larly the housing program, ques-
toned whether it was wise for Con-
gress to curtail Government spend
ing until it was clear private in
veStment could take over the load
Despite these. however, business in
recent weeks has been moving ahead
and corporate earnings statements
in the second quarter this year
showed considerable improvement.
How much Federal spending and
prospect of increased Government
outlay had to do with the upturn
was debated among business an
alysts.

HITLER PROPOSES
PEACE ULTIMATUM
Italy Nor Russia So Far
Promises Germany No
Military Aid
BY GEORGE KIDD
UNITED Press Staff CorresDonde]

tUnIteu freSS STAN correspondent
Berlin, Oct. 3-CUP)-Adolf Hit
Ter has completed his plans for the
next phase of the war with three
part program, it was understood to-
day.
Nazi sources indicated that he had
outlined his plans fully to Count
Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign
Minister, as follows:
l. A peace offensive" in an eff
fort to induce Great Britain and
France - call off the war on his
and Josef Stains terms.
2. Military action in event the
peace offencive" fails.
3. Reorganization of eastern Eu-
rope in agreement with Russia and
incidentally Italy-as the result of
the Russo German partition of Po-
land.
A break in the peace offensive"
was expected within the next few
days, to be followed by a Reichstag
meeting at which Hitler proposed,
on the assumption that Britain and
France would reject the terms of
the Nazi-C --nmunist partners, to
deliver a peace uitimatum."
Nazis intimated that final prep
arations for Hitler's campaign were
discussed during Ciano's visit. Cinbo
was believed to have taken to Mus.
solini an outline of the peace ulti-
matum speech which Hitler already
was drafting for the Reichstag SEES
sion, to be held late this week.

shall, chief of staff, said he is
convinced that an anti-aircraft
regiment would be established in
Connecticut in the very near fu-

Connecticut regiment will be one
of the first to be established in
the nation.
The location of the regiment in
the state is not known as yet but
it will consist of approximately
1000 men who will be divided
probably between two cities.

friends there. This in spite of the
fact that in recent years Germans
carried out many contracts for pub
lie works.
Fire is an intensely Catholic
country. The Nazis have oppressed
German Catholics, while in England
and France members of the church
have had full liberty and equality.
Moreover, few Irishmen will relish
what the Nazis did to Catholic Pol
and.
One of the paradoxes of the Sit
uation is in the diplomatic service.
Britains only official representative
in Fire is an official of the Oversee
department of the board of trade.
Sritain's ally France, is represented
by a charge d'affaires and Poland
by consul general.

as Fire is neutral, the Nazis will
have no excuse to send over bomb
ers.
2.-Eire's neutrality also ensures
that, as heretofore, the supplies of
Irish bacon, butter and eggs will
continue to come to England. The
Irish Sea is pretty much of a Brit
ish lake in war time. Also, German
raiders would have no excuse for
bombing Irish creameries and other
plants which prepare food exports
for England.
NAILS NOT
POPULAR
At the same time, the neutrality
OF Fire will not prevent many young
Irishmen from joining up to fight
Germany. If the general tone OF
Fire is rather apathetic so far, as
regards the cause OF England.

mains that Germany has few
