News Review of Current Events the World Over Plan to Rehabilitate Industry Under Government Control; President Asks Congress to Pass Railway Co-ordinator Measure; Farmers Vote National Strike. By EDWARD W. PICKARD AUE anti-trust laws, that have been held responsible for many of Industry's woes In recent times, would be relaxed and ruinous compe tition ami reckless price slashing elim inated under the pro visions of a new bill that was laid before President Roosevelt for his approval. This measure, entitled the "National Recovery Act," was drawn up by a committee of congressional and in ~ ... dnstrial leaders head n. agner Senator Wagner of New York. Some members of the so-called "brain trust" also had a part In its formulation. The bill provides for full govern ment control of industries through a federal board that would closely re semble the war Industries board of 1018. As summarized by one Wash ington correspondent. It proposes to set aside the anti-trust laws, the fed eral trade commission act, and the Clayton act; empowers the national board to designate any industry as one affected with a public interest; permits price fixing directly and wage regulation indirectly under govern ment supervision, and provides for the self-organization of Industry through I trade associations. The major features of this bill have been approved by the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers and by Pres ident H. I. Harrlman and other offi cers of the Chamber of Commerce of j the United States. It was said that if I Mr. Roosevelt liked it, the measure might be offered to congress as a sub stitute for Secretary of Labor Perkins' bill establishing the 30-hour week and bureaucratic control over production and wage scales of industry. Or it might be combined with the Perkins bill, which was meeting with ?uch de cided opposition In the house of rep resentatives that the administration ' lenders seemed ready to abandon hope of its passage during this session. This Industry bill sets up a board consisting of seven members headed by the secretaries of commerce and labor. The others are to b?* spokes men for commerce, finance, labor, ag riculture, and the public. The plan sanctions the formation of industrial and trade associations which shall work with the national board to correlate production with demand, establish prices of commodities at fair levels, and stabilize markets. WHILE the National Recovery act was still under consideration in the White House, the ('resident in a hrief message to congress asked imme diate passage of a bill which he hopes will rescue the railroads from their desperate situation. It provides for a federal dictatorship under a "co-ordl nator of transportation" whose func tion it would be to eliminate duplica tion of services and wasteful methods of operation and to bring about finan cial reorganizations. This authority is asked for one year, though provision is made for extension of the period hv the President. The President also recommended placing railway holding companies un der the Jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, repeal of the recapture clause of the transportation act whereby half of excess earnings go to the government, liberalizing the basis of rate making and modifying valuation requirements. During the period of emergency control the rail roads would be immune from prosecu tion for violation of the anti trust laws. Plans were laid to hurry the meas ure through congress, and there seemed to be little opposition among either Republicans or Democrats. THOUGH the house accepted the inflation rider to the farm bill. It did^ot agree to the senate's amend ment authorizing the secretary of ag riculture to set arbitrary prices for basic agricultural commodities and penalize sales below such prices, and final enactment of the measure was thus delayed. This difference of opin ion also led the farmers' convention in | tea Moines to order a farm holiday beginning May 13, the producers being instructed to keep their products off the market during the period of the ttrlkt in order to starve the nation Into complying with their demands. Kggs. vegetables and milk are includ ed with the other farm products. This action was taken by some 1,500 delegates from twenty-one states, Ob servers said tliey represented only about 1 per cent of the farmer strength in their respective states anil predicted tile strike would be ineffective. The convention adopted resolutions I of sympathy with the farmers of two counties in Iowa which are under mar tial law because of the disgraceful mobbing of Judge C. C. Bradley at be Mars. Many of the mob leaders were under arrest and the state troops were used to gather evidence, although the cases were to be tried in civil court. MB. ROOSEVELT, addressing the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Its annual dinner, sought to dissipate the fears of busi ness men that he was trying to bring about a bureaucratic control of indus try, intimating that this would riot come about if industry granted thitee requests which he set forth. These were that wages should go no lower and should rise just?s fast as Indus try improves; that business should help the government to end cut-throat competition and unfair practices, and that leaders should work for national recovery, not for the selfish gain of a single Industry or trade. WHILE continuing his economic conversations with representa tives of other nations, the President found time to consider the selection of American delegates to the world confer ence that opens June 12 In London. He con sulted with Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Moley, who will be one of the del egates, and also was visited by Henry Mor gentbau. Sr., former ambassador to Tur key, and James M. Cox of Ohio, Demo cratic Presidential Henry Mof genthaiu, Sr. candidate to l'XW. lsotn tnose gentle men, it was understood, were to go to London; and Mr. Morgenthau also was chosen to represent the United States at the international wbfcat con ference in Geneva. To the organization committee for the London conference Norman H. Davis, special American envoy, pro posed that the nations should enter into an agreement for a world-wide tariff truce pending the outcome of the parley. Putting thls-on the agenda was left up to Prime Minister Mac Donald, who returned home to con front a difficult situation. While lje was talking International trade agreements with Mr. Roosevelt, the British board of trade under President Walter Runciman was promoting bilateral trade understandings with many gov ernments. MR. ROOSEVELT had a round of conversations with Latin-Ameri can diplomats, starting with Thomas! Le Breton of Argentina who was ac companied to the White House by Am bassador Espil. Doctor Le Breton and his corps of experts also met with Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace and other government officials te discuss monetary and trade problems and especially methods of controlling world surpluses of wheat. Guido Jung, Italy's finance minister, arrived In Washington and at once be gan talks with President Roosevelt and his advisers concerning the pure ly economic and monetary phases of the current questions; and Augusto Rosso, Italian ambassador, handled for his government the discussion of disarmament and political matters. MOVING along- somewhat similar lines to those of the Roosevelt administration. Chancellor Adolf Hit ler was going a swifter pace than any e* KIo #n1Imv HI of o. tors ever heltf. Imme diately after a May day announcement that he would draf the youth of Germany Into a labor army, re I gardless of wealth i and position, he pro ceeded to destroy' the free trade onions of the nation. The Nasi storm troops were sent Into every city Adolf Hitler and town to seize the union premises and the labor banks. All the Impor tant Union leaders were put under ar rest. "This clears the path for the new National Socialist state In which labor will form a part of society, divided and grouped according to professions, ' said Dr. Hubert Lev, Nasi president of the. state* council, v>o directed the raldk. "Guilds like those of the MhfHle Vges'vVf 111 be fn'rrtleit HIUscs next movie, WJtlfiOnly a ilnyV interval, was to assume control of the Cental.Association of German Ranks nnd Jjankjpg Industry, reorganize the board' of directors, appoint a Nazi lials'bri official rind take steps for a general reduction In Interest rifles;' ?

GREAT import In the Slno-Jap aBese quarrel 's the news that Soviet Russia has resumed full diplo matic relations with the Chinese Na tionalist government. Dimitri Bogo moloff, the new ambassador from Mos cow, presented his credentials at Nan king. Immediately the Chinese press began a vigorous campaign looking to ward an fdliance with the Soviet gov ernment similar to the one that fol lowed the war with Japan' in 1895, when China virtually ceded I.laotung peninsula, part of Manchuria, to Rus sia in -return for .-.assistance against Japan. .. . < .i .-t .The Chinese opw suggest that China grant the Soviets Important trade privileges to provide an outlet ' for Soviet goods ia China and at the same time-exclude Japanese products, in exchange ,It;-.

This proves there Is abso- ' lutely no foundation for the opinion \ that Germany wishes to avail herself of disarmament to proceed with her own re-armament at the highest pos sible level. The contrary Is the case." Count Nadolny won a victory when ( the committee on armies voted not to | include in the armed strength of Ger- i many the 00,000 Nazi storm troops. The decision was reached by a .vote of 7 to 6. ONE more head of a Latin Ameri can government has fallen at the har*d of an assassin. Luis M.

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER'S LONG TIME MISTAKE THE more Happ.v Jack laughed. the mere uncomfortable I'eter ltabblt felt He knew that Happy Jack was laughing at him. Of course. And ne didn't like being laughed at, especially when he couldn't, see the Joke, it Is had enough to he laughed at when you can see the Joke, but when you cannot see a single thing In the leasi funny, being laughed at la about as hard to bear ass, anything 1 know of. "When you get through laughing peVfitHts !you will be kind enough to toll me What you are laughing at." said liter, with a great deal of dig nity.;,-. At this, Happy Jack laughed harder than ever, and Striped Chipmunk Joined In the laughter. Now It was had enough to be laughed ai by Happy Jack, but to be laughed at by a "stidped pinch of. nothing." us I'eter sometimes called Striped Chipmunk, was more than Peter could bear. He started to leave. Intending to go stfhight back to the dear Old Briar I'ateh. "Don't be mad, I'eter," called Happy Jfjck., "If you fill wait a little I think perhaps we can Introduce you to Shot. Tall. "You've seen him so often that it is high time you should know him He was here a few minutes ago and 1 guess he'll be back agalu soon. Bet ter wait.". Peter waited. Of eourse, Peter waited. 'He hail to. Curiosity wouldn't let hlin go. So Peter waited, and the longer he waited, the greater became nls curiosity, lie waited and waited, but 110 one a|>|>enred and Peter at last began to wonder If this was some trick or Joke on the part of Happy Jack. He was beginning to get sus picious. A faint rustle In the dry leaves on the ground caught Peter's attention. At once he turned to see who or what had made that rustle, for a rustle of the leaves may mean nltnost anything, and never should go unheeded. It may be made by a friend or It may be made by an enemy. And so Peter turned toward the sound. Close by an old log he saw a leaf turn and a second later he caught a glimpse of a dark gray form, as It disappeared under the log. Then he looked up at Happy Jack. "Did yon see him?" asked Happy Jack. "Who. that fellow under the log?" replied Peter. "Of course I saw him. It was one of Miner the Mole's family. I often see one of them over here. I guess It Is one of Miner's half-grown children. Now, what are you laughing at?" "What did I tell you?" cried Happy Jack. Jumping around merrily. "1 said you had seen him often. That was Short-Tall the Shrew." "li was not," contradicted Peter, very Impolitely. "That was a Mole or I never saw one In my life" Striped Chipmunk fairly hugged himself with glee. Happy Jack laughed harder than ever. In the midst of it a sharp squeaky voice demanded. "What's all this fuss about? Tell me so that 1 may laugh, too?" That voice came from under the old log where Peter had seen that dark gray form disappear a couple of mo ments before. "We are laughing at Peter's long time mistake," replied Happy Jack. O. HIS b? T.
