(F'rcsident Roosevelt in a lettpr tp International Chamber of Commerce Council on October 21, said, “Improve ment of the basis of natural and prof itable economic relations between countries was the establishment of any satisfactory way to secure world order.”) , The resolution which declared that such a conference rjbould examine “the means of remedying the world's economic disputes” was adopted after Foreign Minister Bonnet and Edouard Herriot, President of the Chamber of Deputies, asked the United States “to participate in the work of peace”. The Chamber’s president, who dis cussed the war debt situation at the White House in April, 1933, asked that President Roosevelt “Accord‘me a new ordinance and admit that peace de mands more than international con ferences—it demands a permanent or ganization.” In a figurative sense and meaning he hoped his words would reach the President.

Future relations with other great European powers, he said, depended on their willingness to disgorge the property which Germany regards as stolen. “Our claim is to all our former colonies,” he said. “Whether when the actual moment for bargaining for them comes, we shall show restraint is for the future to decide. If we do, then we shall demand compensation for whatever we do not claim. He said,, however, that “We will never attempt to solve the colonial problem by military force”.

The move came as the Chinese press reported Japanese firms were rapidly establishing sales officers in all conquered cities and towns to handle goods, while foreign trade is blocked by the Japanese militia. Reports of American commercial and cultural interests in China ex plained that the United States would get a “satisfactory” reply to the Oc tober 6 protest to Japan. x A statement issued by the Shanghai American association in conjunction with the Shanghai-American Cham ber of Commerce said unless such a reply was forthcoming soon they hop ed the United States would promptly bring pressure to insure cessation of Japanese discrimination against the United States. “Failure now to secure correction of Japanese abuses of long estab lished rights in China” was likely to further Japanese encroachments and bring trouble with the United States.

Dies said he would make the disclosures Monday night at 10:45 o’clock over the Mutual System. He expected to reply especially to criticism by Presi dent Roosevelt of the House Com mittee handling charges against gov ernment. At the same time Dies said he had received a telegram from Representa tive Dempsey, Democrat, New Mex ico, threateneing to resign from the committee, if the witnesses were al lowed to tear down the “characters of mep from the outside.” Dempsey and Representative Healer are said to have both asked the committee to cease hearings until after the elec tion. Other developments:. $11,500,000 worth of top state and federal jobs will be handed out by voters a week from Teuseday. How much it will cost the candidates and supporters to win or lose these jobs is largely a matter of conjecture; but if the spending runs true to past performances it will cost at least sls,- 500,000. The expense that power companies have agreed to carry out in key manu facturing centers will help eliminate sickness already uncovered in the ad ministration’s study of natioha de fense needs. Among others, are a shortage of skilled airplane mechanics, the rail roads’ difficulties, and what the army considers an inadequate present sup ply of some materials which would be needed in time of war. New Dealers To Fight Rule Os Seniority By CHARLES P. STEWART Central. Press Columnist * Washington, Oct. 29. —One' of the New Deal’s worst embarrassments thus far has been the possession of most of the vitally important , Congres sional comm ittee chairmanships by anti - New Dealers. True, a committee chairman has only one vote, like any other member of Congress. Still, he has a deal of influ ence within his own committee. It can overrule him, but generally it doesn’t. Usually he is strong to smother proposed O’Connor legislation that he opposes—not nec essarily to beat it on the floor of the House or Senate, but to prevent it from getting to either of these floors through the process known as "bury ing it in committee," That is to say, when a bill is introduced it is re ferred to its appropriate committee for consideration ( and unless tire com mittee reports on it, that',* the eni of that bill-—-provided the commit tee’s parent body (Senate or House) doesn’t call for it. Though this can be done by a majority, it seldom hap pens. In this fashion the New Deal has been seriously handicapped by hostile committee chairmen. Even in cases where it has triumphed, it has done so in the face of any difficulties. John J. O’Connor of New York, chairman of the House Rules Committee (an exceedingly influential group), notor iously stymied the New Dealers £t the last Congressional session. To be sure, (Continued ot.
