Bankers Discuss

Shorpened Competition
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. "a
War and it's effects on American
ecor omy and government, and the
Nations place in a postwar world,
appeared today to have effectively
crowded out nearly all other topics
as the American Bankers Associa-
ton entered the second day Of its
66th annual convention.
The 1000 bankers from all over
the United States heard virtually all
the speakers at the opening session
who were not directly concerned
with technical banking problems
discuss one or another aspect of the
war and democracy.
Significant for the future ap-
peared the counsel of DR.. Marcus
Nader, professor of finance at New
York University, that American
bankers should be laying plans
against the sharpened competition
which a postwar Europe, hungry
for business, seemed sure to offer
the United States in world markets.
w. Randolph Burgess, vice chair
man of the National City Bank of
New York. scored the defense pro-
gram as "laggard, held back by red
tape, technicalities, a failure to put
first things first"
Claude L. Stout, Fort Collins
(ColoD banker, addressing the State
secretaries section of the conven-
ton, urged that bankers take an
active and intelligent part in build
ing good citizenship.

Program to Relieve Farm
Unemployment Urqed

A Conservation Works program to
relieve farm unemployment was
suggested yesterday in a report by
an Agriculture Department COM
mittee on chronological advances in
agriculture.
Attributing much of the farm
manpower surplus to chronological
changes, and asserting that ma
chimes would displace additional
workers in the future, the report
said it was necessary ito find secure
incomes for more than 5000 900 men
now living on farms. probably half
of whom are wholly or partly un-
employed while the other half and
their dependents barely exist on
gross cash incomes averaging not
more than 5000 to $500 annually"

tanned a provision compelling sur

country. Canada and England, he
told newsmen. do not require non

Shortage Of Labor
In Skilled Fields
Seen by Knudsen
Situation Makes Tight
Squeeze on Defense
Program, Legion Is Told

The national defense program Is
going 10 have a tight squeeze" on
skilled labor, William S. Knudsen
member of the National Defense
Advisory Commission in charge OF
production, told the American Legion
National Convention last night in
Boston.
I'VE have plenty of unskilled and
semi-skilled labor, but we are going
to have a tight squeeze ON skilled
labor for regardless of the efficiency
of our training systems and they arc
very good, no system is going to
turn out a tool maker in a couple
of months" Mr.. Knudsen said.
And we shall not only need all
the skilled help we have but we shall
need the utmost Of cooperation
from our skilled men and the will
ingness on their part to delegate
simple work to apprentices while
they perform the highly skilled ma
chine and bench work necessary to
finish the tools according TO draw
ings."
Are Racing Time.
Referring to the problem of the
provision of machine tools needed in
the defense program, Mr.. Knudser
asserted that time is what we are
racing-day and night. Even with
the machine tools fairly we'll under
control, there are innumerable jigs
dies and fixtures, each one of which
requires tool drawings and in many
cases thousands of hours of labor
by skilled mechanics before we car
begin to make pieces in quantities.
Mr.. Knudsen termed the arma-
ment program a blessing in one re-
spect-that it will foster de-
sire on the part of many young
persons to work with their hands
With the opportunities now be-
fore u.s." he explained. 1T will be
possible to satisfy and encourage
the demands for manual labor and
sell our youngsters the idea that a
good edudcation plus some good
experience in working with their
hands. is going to be an asset
through their future life. even If
they want TO enter professions
later on"
All Are Cooperating.
Mr.. Knudsen declared that there
was no basis, so far as he had OBJ
served, for statements made in some
quarters implying that manufac-
turers are holding back and not CO.
operating in the program. In the
four months I have been in Wash
ington," he continued, Il have
talked to a lot of manufacturers,
large and small, and I have still to
find one who was not willing to do
everything he could to help the pro-
gram. even to the extent of turning
his design of motors over to some
one else to make because he could
not handle the large quantity him.
self. There are slackers in all walks
of life, but on the general statistics
they will not run over per cent"
The defense commissioner re-
vealed an amusing" discovery in
connection with supplying food for
military men. 1T seems he said
that the man In camp does not
eat very much more than at home,
except that if he is in the Army he
drinks more coffee and If he is in
the Navy he eats more catsup."

BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME

In your home there are no doubt
a number of places that could be
beautifed by the addition OF grow
ing plants and vines.
A breakfast room window can be
made more attractive by placing
plants in odd jars and pots. A nice
effect can be obtained by placing
the glass shelves in the window.
Pots Of English ivy. philodendron,
sansaveria, snake cactus, wandering
Jew or crassulus can be placed on
the shelves. All of these grow easily,
requiring little care and attention.
Use copper, majolica, crome. clay,
brachen and gay, bright colored
pottery pots to place the plants in.
SIX shining copper pots containing
wandering j"w along the sides OF a
breakfast room window (bracketed
