postwar employment picture, Mr..
Chase enumerates labor saving de-
vices introduced on IA wide scale dur
ing the war; the large volume of say
ings out of high national income, for
which it is impossible to find out lets
in private investments; and the decline
of the spirit Of enterprise since the
thirties. Nor is he Overoptimistic about
the favorable effects on employment of
new products which have come up dur
ing the war. Many of the markets for
new products made from light metals
and plastics may curtail the market
for older products he says.
Mr.. Chase suggests the following
remedies to stave off the immense
danger of unemployment
Begin to plan for employment not
later than 1043. Give the plans sulli-
ccnt publicity to avert fear of idle
ness. When war spending is gradually
tapering off, carry out public works
and improve social security. Give six
months dismissal wages to war work
ers. Continue the most imortant wal
controls on prices, rents and ratiOninS,
and keep taxes high, in order to avert
imitation and insure equitable distribu-
ton Of scarce essential commodities
Help business firms recOnvert theil
plants by tax allowances and by other
means. When full employment has
been achieved, taper off public works
but maintain and extend social secur
| ity lnaugurate Il compensatory econ
omy," in which the Federal Govern
ment, i'm cooperation with local govern
ments, fills the gaps in employment
which have been left by ordinary busi
ness activity.

War Seen Undoinq
Child Labor Curbs
"HYstericul Or At Best I'm.
wise Moves" Charged
To Some States

The National Child Labor Commit
tee has charged in statement by
Courtenay Dinwiddie, it's general
secretary, that some States, under the
guise of serving the war, had made
"hysterical or at best unwise moves"
tending to break down needlessly many
important safeguards in child labor
legislation.
According to the statement more
than three-fOurths of the States have
considered proposals to modify or sus-
pend provisions of their child labor
laws since the United States entered
the war, and in twenty-seven States
changes actually have been made or
authority to make changes has been
granted to State officer or agency.
Mr.. Dinwiddie said that while some
of these changes represent Il curious
mixture" of intelligent effort to meet
manpOwer shortages, with due regard
to our children and their future
there also was evidence of the hysteri;l
to which he referred.
"The greatest number of changes has
been in regulations restricting hours
and night work for minors of 16 and
II years. he said. "Twehty-two States
have taken such action and in all but
three both maximum hours and night
work provisions are affected. For the
most part, these changes have beer
made in States whose laws set higher
than average standards or are most
inclusive in the occupations covered.
| In addition to other relaXations il
laws regulating age and specific occu
patiOns, Mr.. Dinwiddie called attention
to changes in the laws of nine State,
designed to facilitate the employment
of school age children in agriculture
Asserting that the greatly Increased
number of children now entering EN-
ployment made adequate safeguards
doubly important, and that in man,
States adequate standards never ha,
been enacted, Mr. Dinwddie added:
I The National Child Labor Com
mittee does not believe that ther
should be any lowering of standard
for children under is years except il
emergency agricultural employment. :
l6-year age minimum for work durin,
school hours, Il 14-year age minimum
for work outside of school hours, al
eight-hour day and forty-hour week
and prohibition of night work, shoult
be the universal standards for children
under 16 years.

school or institution, shall, upon his

REPORTS NAILS
LACK DIAMONDS
FOR INDUSTRY
BY HENRY TOSTI RUSSELL

BY HENRY TQSTI RUSSELL
UNITED Press Stan Correspondent
London. Dec. q 49, (UP) - Dia-
monds may cost Hitler the war.
Essential parts OF tanks, mobile
guns, trucks and other implements
indispensable In modern warfare.
have to be made with diamond cut
ting edges or drills and the
British Empire is the worlds larg-
est source Of the precious stones
and dust OF which thev are made
The source Of this information is
one OF the best-known diamond
experts in the world, who asked the
United Press to refrain from pub
fishing his name on the grounds
hat his parents still are In occupied
territory.
There were some 10000 skilled
diamond workers in the industry
before the war;" he said. Some
Of them are here now and others
in the United States. But there are
still large number Of them in
occupied Europe.
| I'VE understand from private re-
ports. that they are going through
hard times. Beyond re-polishing'
and re- cutting old stones for the
Nazis, they have little work.
! almost every implement Of war
is dependent to some extent upon
the use of the industrial diamond
at some stage of its manufacture.
Without diamond cutting lodges
and drills, hundreds Of thousands
of parts used in the manufacture
of some of the most important
weapons of modern warfare, could
mot be finished.
| I'm peacetime we were used to
seeing diamonds mainly in the form
of necklaces or rings on the necks
or fingers of lovely women. Today
thousands of women have virtually
taken the stones from their fingers.
Instead of wearing them as orna-
ments, they now clutch them set in
hard steel tools which their def
fingers guide up and down indis-
pensable parts of war weapons.
The stones they wore before the
war were highly polished by skilled
workers in Amsterdam. Those they
use today are unpublished, known
as industrial diamonds"
industrial diamonds are small.
1t takes from three to 80 of them
to make one carat weight. Ninety
per cent of this type as used in
the United States, come from the
Gold Coast. For the rest, the larg-
est supply comes from South Africa.
Diamond is so hard, that when
suitably drilled (this has to be
done with special tools lined with
diamond dust), you can draw any,
thing from two to eight hundred
tons of metal wire through it, with
out noticeably affecting the ac-
curacy of the gauge of the wire or
doing noticeable damage to the
tool
! Among the hardest diamonds in
the world Is the 'carbzonado' (black
diamonO of Brazil. This has been
used extensively for years in rock
drilling. 1t is highly valued In in
dustry. Brazil, by the way, also
produces some of the finest allu-
vial diamonds In the world. We
never have any difficulty in dispos-
ing of Brazilian diamonds here ...
we can never get enough of them"
