GOVERNMENT & BUSINESS
The National Association OF
Manufacturers has outlined seven
major points to determine the re-
lationship between government
and business in order to restore
prosperity The first was the
elimination of governmental activ-
tiles that prevent the effective
functioning of private enterprise.
Referring to the relation of gov
eminent and business, the report
stated that the government should
base action on the tested truth
that provision of goods and servic-
es to the people of this country can
be performed most economically
and beneficially' by private bust
ness. 1t advocated encouragement
of fair competition, curb of mon
opoly, and availability Of credit
for the legitimate financing of ex-
isting agricultural, commercial and
industrial enterprises.
DEVELOPMENTS IN CON
GRESS- Recent developments in
Congress included the enactment
by the Senate of the bill extending
the powers of the RFC to June 80,
1911; The Senate Appropriations
subcommittee restored the $14,-
100000 item to the independent
offices appropriation bill to make
possible for the IVA to continue
construction of Glbertsville dam;
The May national Defense bill au-
thorizing expenditures of 300 mil
lion dollars to build the Army all
corps up to $500 planes was ap-
proved by the House. Both the
Senate and the House received
bills providing for a system of in.
surance for bank loans to business
which would be similar in many
ways to the present Federal Hous-
ing Administration system of in.
surance for mortgage loans.

Stock AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

HoSSNioN'N
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Outbreak
of actual warfare between Russia
and Finland today helped give the
stock market further bearish
twinges.
The list extended Wednesdays
decline fractions to points in the
forenoon in fairly active dealings.
There were subsequent recoveries
and dips and, at the close. prices
we're above the lows in most cases.
Here and there modest plus signs
were to be seen.
Steels, aircrafts motors and chem
icals were in the front ranks of the
morning retreat. Rails. utilities,
rubbers, coppers and merchandising
issues generally kept losses to small
proportions.
Dealings slackened appreciably
after midday, when attempts were
made to prop leaders. Transfers for
the full proceedings approximated
100000 shares.
AS one financial commentator put
it, "a certain amount of war is all
right for Wall Street. but too much
is not so good In other words,
spreading of the European conflict
brought thoughts the latest flareup
might easily result in worldwide
complications which could have un-
pleasant repercussions in the
United States.
Numerous stop-loss orders on rel
atively light commitments were
touched off in the first hour or so,
brokers said, and this did much to
cloud the speculative picture. Blocks
Of 1000 shares or more were scarce
on the recessionary move and it was
suggested important holdings may
still be intact.
A little buying and short covering,
on the theory the backslide may
have gone. too far. served to steady
quotations after the first two hours.
1t was the eighth consecutive ses-
sion in which the Associated Press

Bankers said today that the slight
drop in clearings from last year
might be due to the weather or to
the fact that Armistice Day was
more generally celebrated in Wash

date for Thanksgiving is not be-
lieved to have made any difference
with clearings.

ONLY 4 CRITICIZE
 NAMING TAYLOR
Roosevelt's Appointment of Vatican Envoy, Says
 Sec'y, Misunderstood

Washington, December 26-tUP) Secretary stephen T. Early said today there were only four critical messages out Of 400 weekend tele- grams to the White House about President Roosevelt's appointment of Myron Q. Taylor as his personal representative to the Vatican.
 Early said that he believed the four who protested the action did SO because they misunderstood MT. Roseveit,s motives and plans.
 "They apparently were written on the assumption that 1t was 6 diplo- matic recognition of the Vatican, Early said, T am quite certain that when they learn the facts those who made the protests will be satis- fled. The few protests we have rec ceived are due to a lack of under standing of the presidents plani adn motives.
 "There is no intention and hasn't been any for that to lead to res- toration of diplomatic relations Such is not the plan"
 Early said Taylor's status would be exactly the same as that of for iner Ambassador at Large Norman Davis, who was appointed in that capacity by President Hoover anc continued in the job by President Roosevelt until Davis resigned tC become head of the American Rec Cross.

 Plan

Francis Brice, city hall janitor for the past several years, was to- day given his notice by City Hall Superintendent Timothy J. Horgan Mir. Bricc viii be dropped from the city payroll as Of January l.
 The dismissal is the result of action by the board of works. That board voted at its last meeting that the superintendent should give no- tice to one of the janitcrs at the municipal building before the first of the year. The choice was left to Supt. Morgan.
 The iD40 city budget, as prepared by the board of finance and ap- proved by the board of aldermen contains a cut in the appropriation for maintenance of the city hall. Tine board of works consequently had to pass it's vote irstructing the superintendent to dismiss one of the maintenance staff.
 Mayor Patrick M. PerrielIo recofn- fnended to the aldermen that auto- rnatic stokers be installed for the city hall heating system, stating that two or more members of the janitorial staff could then be dis- missed. The aldermen took no ac. ton on his recommendation even refusing Q o260 transfer to allow for the hiring of an engineer to draw ID specifications for . 'stok- or system.
