FAR EAST TftorHI.ES BRING
BRITISH IBAIll; PACT NEAR
ENGLAND SEES CHANCE TO
GET BUSINESS JAPS LOST
CHANCE OK AGREEMENT
WITH GERMANY BRIGHTER
SEN. SMITH PLANS NEW
COTTON SI BSIHY llll.l.
WASHINOTON. Oct. 13. One seg
ment of silver lining broke through
the dark cloud or International trou
ble when !t was learned that the
present situation in the far east has
moved the trade pact with the Brit
ish nearer.
It's a lair guess that Henry Grady,
member of the tariff commission,
mentioned the fact to tho president
Just before the fireside chat was com
pleted. (Mr. Orady has Just returned
from the raw materials conference In
Geneva. It Is Just possible that, while
abroad, he made somo other stops,
not officially mentioned.)
The point Is that Oreat Britain Is
anxious to strengthen her trade-ways
now that ahe has a chance to pick up
some of the business which Japan Is
losing or has already lost.
The big obstacles, according to the
negotiators, are what they call tho
"tory" groups In each country, fight
ing to retain high tariff protection
for their respective Industries.
The British press Is publicly warn
ing business not to neglect foreign
trade Just . because the armament
boom has Increased tho domestic mar
ket. In the stato department, an other
wise unexplained outburst of optim
ism apparently confirms the fact that
progress Is again being made.
Another bit of trado-treaty news
that, for dlplomatlo reasons, Is not
being broadcast la the fact that a
pact with Germany Is "in the picture
again," as one official put It pri
vately. Ambassador Dleckhoff. returning
from Berlin, told the ship news men
when he got off tho boat that Ger
many "always was prepared" to dis
cuss means for Improved trade. It is
privately reported that he la prepared
to be much more speclflo when he
opens his portfolio.

Usurpation of Power Not
Given by Law Is Claimed
DENVER. Oct. 13. p The Amer

voted unanimously today to Join Brit
ish labor boycott on Japanese goods.
Along with the British-American
boycott, the resolutions committee
report recommended that A PL officers
peek its extension by' requesting the
cooperation of trade union move
ment elsewhere.
DENVER, Oct. 13. The Amer
ican Federation of Labor convention
decided unanimously today to ask
congress to curb the powers of the
national relations board.
The decision followed a demand by
John P. Frcy, president of the feder
ation's metal trades department, that
three of the board's regional directors
be removed for what he said was par
tialtty to John L. Lewis CIO.
It also followed charges f'ora half
a dozen other A PL leaders that the
board had promoted CIO unions at
the federation's expense.
The regional directors whose re
moval Frey demanded were Mrs. Eli
nor Herrlck of New York, Mrs. Alice
Rosseter of San Francisco and A.
Howard Myers of Boston.
The resolutions committee report
which the convention adopted con
tended that the board had "usurped"
power which the Wagner labor dis
putes act had not given It. in stepping
Into the war between the AFL and
the CIO. .
The act should be amended, the
report said, to keep the board out of
the dlsputo and to protect craft un
ions against Lewis' Industrial unions.
Without discussion, the convention
also adopted a resolutions commit
tee report on wage and hour legisla
tion which avoided a direct stand on
that Issue.
Before federation officials took any
stand, the report said, they should
consult with officials of the building
trades, metal trades, railway em
ployees and label trades departments.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 13.

Without asking the conference of
committee for Industrial Organiza
tion leaders to take definite action,
Bridges said:
"In the Japanese conflict. It la the
definite sentiment of a majority of
our membership that an economic
boycott be Imposed on all Japanese
goods even though It means the loss
of work for our membership."

Roosevelt Seeks Approval
Main Legislative Program
Before Christmas Holiday
By NATHAN ROHKRTSON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. (JP) President Roosevelt, ordering a special
session of congress November IB, Instituted a campaign today to enact
by Christmas, If possible, the bulk of
In the last session.
Administration officials expressed
hope for swift congressional approval
of five measures outlined by the
chief executive last night In his tenth
"fireside chat":
1. Crop production control to
"build an all-weather farm program
so that In the long run prices will
be more stable.
2. Wage and hour standards to
"make millions of our lowest-paid
workers actual buyers of billions of
dollars of Industrial and farm prod
ucts. 3. Regional planning to conserve
natural resources, prevent floods and
produce electric power for general
use.
4. Government reorganization to
provide "twentieth century machin
ery' 'to make the "democratic process
work more efficiently."
5. Stronger anti-trust laws In fur
therance of "a low price policy which
encourages the widest possible con
sumption." The proposals foreshadowed bitter
and perhaps prolonged controversy.
The first four were left-overs from
the session which ended In August,
but the antl -monopoly recommend -atlon
was new.
Needed for Prosier It. v.
Mr. Roosevelt characterized the
program as one which the American
people need Immediately to provide
prosperity.
"The kind of prosperity we want,"
he said, "Is the sound and permanent
kind which Is not built up tempor
arily at the expense of any section
or group."
His speech followed by only five
hours his dramatic announcement at
a three-minute press conference that
he was calling the first special ses
sion of congress since the one ho
summoned during the 1033 bank holi
day. The broad program outlined by the
president immediately raised the
question of whether congress would
return more in the mood to follow
his leadership than It waa last sum
mer. No Mention of Court.
There was no mention In Mr. Roose
velt's speech of hla court reorganis
ation program which upset the legis
lative machinery In the regular 1937
session. He apparently was referring
to supreme court reversals, however.
when he said the people had been
"checked" tn efforts to control pro
duction and secure wage-hour stand
ards. Although some members of congress
aald they saw no need for a special
session, such administration leaders
as Speaker Bankhead (D.-Ala.) said

IAPANESE SUFFER
SHANGHAI, Oct. 13. (AP) A Chi
nese spokesman declared today that
Japanese forces had lost more than
3000 dead and wounded In a dis
astrous attempt to crash the Chinese
lines across Wentsaopang creek into
Tazang. four miles northwest of the
International settlement.
The Japanese army used 15,000
men In Its desperate thrust. One
Japanese flying column pushed ahead
of the main body three miles to
the outskirts of Tazang where a
murderous machine gun and hand
grenade fire forced It to retire to the
original position.
Tazang is the moat strongly de
fended town on the Chinese battle
line. Its capture by the Japanese
might force the Chinese, troops to
withdraw from the hotly-contested
Chapel sector In order to escape
being flanked and surrounded from
the west.
Despite withering fire from land,
sea and air the Chinese clung to
their lines on all other fronts in
the ShmRhal district.

administration supporter on most
Issues expressed "doubt" today If
President Roosevelt's peace program
would be auccessful.
Logan, commenting on Mr. Roose
velt's radio address, said the presi
dent's suggestions were "absolutely
sound so far aa domestic problems

"But I don't know about his for
eign policy," he added. "It seems to
me he means we're not going to have
war no matter what happens.
"I don't follow through on what
he proposes to do. What if he has
his nine-power meeting and It
