bring peace to warning factions Of
the American Federation of Labor
and Congress of Industrial Organi-
cations were reviewed again today
by the Federation's Executive Coun-
Gil. but with little likelihood of an
early settlement of the long and bit
ter dispute
William Green. president of the
Federation, prepared for the coun-
ellis consideration report covering
progress in the Federation's efforts
to effect a settlement of the con-
troversy, but its details were not
made public.
Months ago, in response to a
peace plea by President Roosevelt,
both organizations appointed COM
mittees to work for harmonious
settlement of the dispute, but so
far the committees repeatedly have
made little progress.
The Executive Council already has
branded the controversy lament
able schism." and declared that it
"disavows any responsibility what
ever for the war which is being car
ried on within the organized labor
movement and for the division. dis
cord and hatred which prevail
within the ranks of labor"
The council added that despite
the opposition which the American
Federation of Labor has encoun-
tered from irreconcilable employers
and the c. I. O., We are making
steady and substantial progress"

Finland, having already received
$4,000 900, becomes eligible for $2O,-

Limitation Rewritten.
On motion of Chairman Pittman,
the 100000, 900 limitation was re-
written to read as follows:
Provided, that the aggregate
amount of loans outstanding at any
one time that may be hereafter au-
thorized for export to any one coun-
try shall not exceed $4,000 OOO."
This will permit Mr.. Jones to lend
s20,00O,000 instead of $1,000 900 to
China, without changing the $20,-

The committee also had before 1t
a proposed amendment to re-lend
the Firms the $500, 900 they have
repaid on their old debt, without
strings as to use, but when one
motion for a direct loan failed this
change was not offered.
The committees action in open

coming at a time when the United

trade treaty with Japan. Japan is
engaged in undeclared war against
China and the Foreign Relations

Loans Not Mandatory.

loan bill. Senator Pittman said he
thought there is strong desire 'on
the part of the administration to
make further loan to China"
Administrator Jones told news
men the Chinese government has
indicated it would like to obtain up
to $75,000.0O0 of Export-1mport
Bank credit, and that the question
is in the negotiation stage. Under
the bill. however, $20,000,O00 would
be the limit.
Senator Pittman emphasized
that the measure does not make the
financial aid mandatory, either to
Finland or China, but leaves the
decision to the lending agency,
based on the conditions surrounding
each application.
The vote in the Banking Com
mittee last month was 18 to 2, so
that the measure goes to the Senate

Dewey Charges
Disputes Figures on

Seventeen Debt
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated HEeSS.
NEW YORK, Feb. Thomas E.
Dewey, who leaves tonight for the
Pacific Coast to further his Repub-
lican presidential nomination cam
paign, says President Roosevelt ap-
parently made a SO 900, 100000 error
when reporting on the national debt
for the seven years of the present
administration.
Mr.. Dewey said in a statement
yesterday that if the President was
quoted correctly in saying local.
State, county and city debt had
dropped as much as the Federal
debt had risen. then the error was
extraordinary
He said President Roosevelt could
find the facts in handy form COM
piled from official Government
sources" which show that while
State and local debts have gone
down $130,0O00O0 since 1882 and
private debt has fallen sl7,50O,0OO,-
900, the total of all Government
debt, including Federal agencies has
increased nearly $26, 800 100000 and
the grand total of Government and
private debt advanced from $148,-
9O3, 900, 900 in 1882 to $157.310 900 900
in 1889. Thus the total increase in
all debt was s900O,0O0, 900.
Mr.. Dewey said the facts were
contained lin study made by the
division of program planning, agri-
cultural-industrial relations section
of his own Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration" that if the
President did not wish to use these,
the figures were also available in
the annual reports of the Treasury
Department and in studies made
public by number of private re-
search bureaus"
Even if all State and local gov
ernment debts in this country had
been wiped out" he said, they
would not have declined as much as
the Federal debt has increased be-
cause they have never amounted to
as large a figure as the rise in the
national debt under the New Deal"
Mr.. Dewey quoted presidential
reports that debts owed by indi-
viduals and corporations are great
deal smaller and the total owed by
the Government is no greater today
than it was in 1882.
Against this, Mr.. Dewey said
from 1882 to 1885, State and local
debt fell from s19 $3.50 900 900 to $19.-
00,000,00O. The total decline was
s130, ,0O0.00 Meanwhile, the direct
debt of the Federal Government
alone increased about S2l 600, 900 ,0O0."
