poets Of reopening joint AFL-CIO
peace negotiations.
The President talked separately
at the White House with CIO Lead
er John T. Lewis and AFL Presi-

the Presidents latest effort in his

mony in the labor movement had

that the conference embraced labor

"That's all l can do for you to-

Washington, Nov. 9-(AP)-Mari-

that the United Fruit Company had
been authorized last month to trans
fer two of its steamships to foreign

This disclosure, together with word
that the commission had approved

Secretary Hull and several mem
bers of Congress have protested such
a course as against the spirit of the

zones in Europe.

Commission that between 40 and so

vessels, had been authorized since

Washington, Nov. 9.-Some Of our
American navy folk surmse that, IN
one respect, our new neutrality law
may prove to be a convenience to
Germany.
To be sure. the Allies now, can
get war supplies from this country,
provided they pay cash for them and
carry them away in their own yes

haven't the cash, or the vessels to
run the Allied blockade. On the OPP

able cash and the vessels to do plenty
of successful blockade running. To
that extent the lifting Of our arms
embargo plays into the Allies hands
and is to Germany's disadvantage.
That is to say, the Allies now can
get what they couldn't get before,
and the Germans still can't get it.

Of Tobacco
To Increase

Washington, Nov. J.-(AP)--
The Agriculture Department fore
cast today a moderate increase
in domestic consumption of Am
erican tobacco next year, but
said a substantial reduction in
the export market was to be ex-
pected, because of the war in
Europe.
Foreign consumption of Amer
lean leaf, however, might be
maintained at about the 1889
level, the department added, by
Withdrawals from large stocks
of American leaf abroad.
The department said the total
supply of American tobacco on
hand, 3,795, 100000 pounds, was
the largest ON record. The 1854
100000 pounds produced this
year was new high.
Flue-cured leaf comprised L.
958,O00,0OO pounds of the total
supply, and stocks of hurley
were said to be "abnOrmally
large" These types make up IS
