Trade Pace SIackens
As Political Tension
Revives Abroad
Confused Legislative
Situation Here Also
CurtoiIs Activity
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Wrtter.

NEW YORK, July latter Q
brisk climb from the spring lows,
business slowed down at the half
year mark this week to survey the
threat of another European war
crisis and confused legislative sit
uation in Washington.
Wall Street SPECTATORS took In
sail as the political weather thick
ened over Poland. Hard talking
European statesmen, backed by
heavy ornaments, made security
markets SILVER Stock and bond
prices were lowered In nervous
trading.
The gathering storm over Danzig,
brokers suggested, probably ex-
planned why Wall Street and Lon
don the last two months have been
reluctant to bid up security prices
in proportion to the rise in business
barometers. When Premier Daladier
OF France said Europe faced its
worst crisis in 20 years, he appeared
to voice what has been weighing
on the minds Of many in world
financial centers.
Silver Fight Watched.
The battle between the admins
tration and the Senate over exten.
sion of President Roosevelt's none
tary powers and on silver afforded
only momentary diversion from the
sultry atmosphere in Europe, al
though it was cited as an added
reason for caution in the market
place.
The steel and automobile indus
tries, leaders Of the May-June BUSH
ness rebound IN the United States,
curtalled production schedules, part.
ly in preparation for the usual va.
cation letdown over Fourth of july.
The Associated Press index of in
dustrlal activity was unchanged at
1876 after recovering in six weeks
all the April and early MAY losses.
In view Of the gloomy utterances
from high European quarters, Wall
Street was inclined to assume the
spring breathing spell was drawing
to a close. Vivid in the recollec-
tons of the financial district was
the way last summers crisis worked
up to the climax of Munich, fol-
lowed by Hitler's mid March coup
in Czecho- Slovakia.
Copper Buying Heavy.
An echo of the European head
lines, commodity followers reported,
was huge wave of foreign buying
in copper. Nearly $4,000 tons, said
to be record for a single day, were
taken for foreign account yesterday
at an increase of u of a cent, max
ing the price about 1890 cents a
pound.
Allowing for seasonal fluctuations,
electric power, rail carloadings and
cotton manufacturing were higher
in the weeks industrial barometers.
But steel, motor and residential
groups lost ground.
The Associated Press index, with
components based on latest figures,
calculated on 1929-30 levels as 100,
compared as follows:

Embarrassed by Report

Chadwick declared.
Embarrassed by Report
''It is, Of course, a source OF great
embarrassment 10 one charged with
advancing the national legislative
program 10 nave ill-considered and
lll-tempered resolutions given pub
licity, particularly when there are
those in the nation who will seize
upon any perversion of the facts to
contend that the Legion is not
thoughtful and is not considerate."
The Federal Government has
spent total of ,00O,000,0OO on
behalf Of World War veterans, and
has appropriated 1851, $4,000 for
the 1910 fiscal year for the Vet
erans' Administration, Mr.. Chad
wick recalled. Veterans should not
lose sight of theis position rs citi-
zens and of the fact that the ma
tional debt has mounted to $45,-
)OO.OOO,OOO, he declared.
"To preserve the fine things
which we have and which we are
asking, we much carefully consider
anything which looks like a new
request upon the Government ne
wrote. 81 have, therefore, taken
this means Of arming you gentle
men with the facts to the end that
the Legion may be informed and
that we may continue to pursue
that course which has brought us
to such high favor and standing
with the American public-the
course which honorably insists that
our disabled comrades shall be ade-
quately taken care of and that in
all general benefit legislation the
fact of their preferred status should
not be lost sight Of"
The National Commander urged
that no local unit of the body per-
NIT the passage of any resolution
charging the nation with ingrati-
tude or describing the service man
as "America's forgotten man." The
record "dOes not sustain the allega-
sixe list of figures to show the
millions spent by the Federal Gov
ernment on disabled veterans.
Much Already Spent
Mr.. Chadwick reminded local
Legion officers that Congress at the
time Of the World War had hoped 10
do away with the general pension
system and had enacted war risk
insurance laws, under which $685.
626,911 had been paid out. Since
premiums paid in totaled only $751;
387 900, the Federal Treasury as
sumed a deficit of $1,671 ,229,911, he
added. These expenditures, as as
serted, would continue as there are
between $4,000 and $4,000 veterans
who will receive monthly payments
until death or the end of their in
capacitation, adding between $6,-
100000 and $1O,OOO,OOO to the ma
tional bill.
