FLINT CAPTAIN
 FACING CHARGE OF UNION GREW
Seamen Say Gdindrd Did Not Fight Germans
 and Should Have

MELROSE, Mass, Feb. 10. = Capt. Joseph Gainard of the steamer City of Flint expressed his surprise at charges that he had neglected his duty after the Ger mans seized his ship last Octo- Der.
 The charges were filed by the National Maritime Union with the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation.
 Capt. Gainard said the charges were a surprise to him. He de- clared that to his knowledge he had at no time endangered the lives of his crew during the trip to Russia and Norway. The Cap tain denied he failed to take ad- vantage of several opportunities to regain possession of the cap tured steamer. He said that his first thought was for the safety of his men.
 Said Capt. Gainard: "Of course the men were riled when the Ger mans took charge So was l. But the men returned to their posts and were splendid throughout the whole thing. I did my best to communi- cate with authorities at every port-especially at Murmansk, but all efforts failed"

Expresses Disappointment at New Turn Russia
 Has Taken

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Pres- ident Roosevelt told. the American Youth Congress today that Russia is a dictatorship as absolute as any other in the world and char acterized the war with Finland as an invasion of neighbor "so infinitesimally small it could do no injury to the Soviet Union
 The President upheld the rights of some members of the youth jr- ganization ito call yourselves Com munists," adding: "As Americans you have not only the right, but the sacred duty to confine your advocacy of changes in law to the methods prescribed by the Con- stitution of the United States"
 Is Disillusioned
 Presi d e It Roosevelt professed himself as disillusioned with the Russian governmental experiment although years ago T hoped Rus sia would work out her own prob lens and it's government would eventually become peace-loving and popular government which would not interfere with the in- tegrity of its neighbors.
 That hope" i" Roosevelt contin- ued, lis today shattered or put aWav in StOrape against a better day"
 Domestic Situation
 The Presidents speech was most ly confined to remarks as to the domestic situation. He reviewed Ad- ministration achievements and said: We know the prosperity of the twenties can be properly compared to the prosperity of the Mississippi Bubble Days before the bubble burst"

BRITISH BOOST FOREIGN TRADE; MANUFACTURE OF
 ARMS E BEING REDUCED
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. To- In spite of British secrecy on trade statistics, evidence has accumulated here that England is fighting so hard for her old markets that she is even cutting down on production of war goods so she can make things to sell abroad.
 A government economist charged with observing these things said England had pulled numerous plants out of war production to fill or ders for foreign goods.
 Even the rationing of British subjects and the restraints on purchase of noneessentials, he said, is in large part directed at preserving the output of export able goods. It has other purposes, too. Britain doesn't want her sub- jects to spend their war wages foolishly. British industrial wages are in large part begged to prices If British wage earnerS begin buying too lavishly of luxury and on-essential goods, prices will rise. That will force up wages In turn rising labor costs will force up prices-and so on. The old spiral leads to imitation.
 The British want none of that Moreover, they want their wage earners to save their increased earnings. It will be nice to have them able to buy war bonds.
