Business on the
U pgrade
Business is on the up-grade in this
country. And, going by some figures
quoted recently by Paul Mallon, well
known writer and columnist, the rise
is taking place at a considerably more
rapid rate than was anticipated.
During September, industrial pro¬
duction touched 110 (100 equals the
1923-25 theoretical normal). As Sep¬
tember neared its close, the rate of
improvement tended to accelerate.
Upshot is that the economists confi¬
dently expect that a production level
ef 115 will be reached this month.
And further improvement, they pre¬
dict, will follow during winter and
spring.
Of great importance is a decline in
unemployment, and a substantial in¬
crease in the national income. The
latter advanced 3 points between July
and late September. That means
more money in the average man’s
pocket, and a marked potential in¬
crease in the consumption of goods
and services of all kinds. There has
also been an encouraging rise in total
industrial payrolls.
War is very largely responsible for
the betterment. That doesn’t mean
this country has as yet received any
considerable amount of war business
from beleaguered Europe, but indus¬
try is getting ready for those orders,
and is operating at a high pitch in
order to make its purchases and pre¬
pare its finished materials. As proof
of this, can be cited the fact that a
large amount of the improvement is
accounted for by the steel and ma¬
chine tool industries. Steel output
recently came close to 85 per cent of
capacity—an extremely high level.
The machine tool makers have been
working day and night. Coal has
likewise found an eager market, as
buyers rush to lay in heavy stocks.
Fear of higher prices causes this fe
Yerish buying.
■ The heavy industries have so far
been the principal ones to benefit by
the abnormal conditions. According
to Mr. Mallon, department store sales
increased a meagre one per cent
while industrial production was climb¬
ing fast. In other words, consump¬
tion has as yet not rivaled production.
That, say the experts, will come later.
Repeal of the arms embargo (and
at this writing, it looks as if the re
peql advocates will win unless some
thing new occurs between now and
the end of October, when a vote is
expected) would naturally create a
practically new industry in this coun¬
try—the fabrication of the materials
of war. Mr. Roosevelt in his speech
to the special session of Congress
stressed this, saying that we might as
well have the business ourselves, in
tead of simply sending raw materials
abroad to be fabricated there. Such
an industry is obviously dangerous—.
it would give many people a stake in
war, as their jobs and incomes would
depend upon its perpetuation. But,
taking the short term view, it would
be a strong bullish factor in our econ¬
omy, even though artificial and found¬
ed on a destructive, rather than a con¬
structive foundation.

A. Shipp and Mrs. W. J. Braswell,

MOVE TO DEFEAT
NEUTRALITY BILL
BEATEN 65 TO 26
Administration Forces Win Move to
Shunt Debate Away from Arms
Embargo Proposal.
WASHINGTON, Oet. 10.—The sen¬
ate voted overwhelmingly today
against side-tracking the administra¬
tion’s proposal to repeal the arms em¬
bargo.
By a vote of 65 to 26 it rejected the
plea of Senator Tobey, Republican, of
New Hampshire, that the question of
lifting the ban on arms shipments to
Europe’s warring nations be laid
aside until other sections of the pend¬
ing bill, prohibiting American ships
to carry any goods to the belligerents,
were acted upon.
Single-handedly, and vainly, the
former businessman-governor of New
Hampshire argued that American
ships might be submarined and the
country thus led into war while fur¬
ther debate on the embargo issue de¬
layed enactment of the shipping re¬
strictions.
Administration leaders replied that
voting on these restrictions, and on
the remainder of the bill, could begin
ut once if Tobey would persuade the
foes of repeal to end the debate and
agree to immediate action. Dividing
the bill would lead only to more de¬
lay, they argued.
Jubilantly, Chairman Pittman,
Democrat, of Nevada, of the senate
foreign relations committee hailed the
outcome as a sure sign that the cham¬
ber would vote, probably before the
end of the next week, to repeal the
arms embargo.
“I feel that this will now satisfy
the country that further debate will
accomplish nothing,” he told report¬
ers.
Pittman Recalls Forecast
Pittman recalled that he had pre¬
dicted a few days ago that the repeal
would muster between 64 and 68 of
the senate's 96 votes.
I now feel I can say positively
that it will receive at least 67 votes,"
he said.
The vote on the Tobey motion
proved a “straight out-and-out test,"
of sentiment toward repeal of the
embargo, Pittman added, with the ex¬
ception that he felt confident two
of those who voted to side-track the
issue today would vote ultimately for
the administration’s bill.
Borah Denies Defeat
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
who led the , famous and successful
fight against America’s entrance in¬
to the League of Nations and who is
one of the leaders of the current fight
against lifting the embargo, had this
to say to newsmen:
“The Tobey vote was not the anti¬
repeal vote. M
Asked if he still hoped that the em¬
bargo would be retained, the “Lion of
Idaho” decline d any further state¬
ment.
Senator Clark, Democrat, Missouri,
another of the anti-repeal group, also
disputed that the vote on the Tobey
proposal was a test of sentiment re¬
garding repeal of the embargo. Say¬
ing that some of those who voted
against the New Hampshire senator’s
motion were committed to vote against
lifting the embargo, he went ahead
with plans to speak against repeal on
the senate floor.
Foes Deplore Motion
Many foes of repeal, who contend
that lifting of the embargo would help
Great Britain and France and prob
ably involve this country in the war,
had made plain in advance of the vote
that they thought it the wrong time
for Tobey to make his motion,
They contended thatj they (would
gain votes as the debate continued and
reaction from the country reached
senatorial ears. Most of those public¬
ly committed to preserving the embar¬
go voted with the senator, however,
when he insisted upon raising the is¬
sue at once.
Senator Clark disclosed after the
ballot that he would propose at a
later date that the administration bill
be sent back to the foreign relations
committee with instructions to bring
it before the senate again forthwith,
minus the embargo repeal provision.
He said this would involve no delay
whatever, since Chairman Pittman, of
the committee, could carry out the
instructions without leaving the sen¬
ate floor.

MISS CONNER AND MR.
WED AT CHURCH CEREMONY
(From Montgomery, Ala., Advert iner. Oct. X)
Assembling hundreds of relatives
and friends of the contracting par¬
ties, a wedding marked by charm, ele¬
gance and beauty in every detail took
place last evening at the Baptist
church in Tuskegee, uniting Miss Ma¬
ry Jeanette Conner, of Tuskegee, and
John Shepard, of Atlanta.
Mrs. William Curtright was in
charge of the wedding music. She
played before and during the eere
mony ( Indian Love Call" (Friml),
“Leibestraum (Liszt), "0 Promise
Me" (DeKoven) and the march from
Lohengrin’s Bridal Chorus as a pro¬
cessional and Mendelssohn’s wedding
march as recessional. Soloists were
Miss Jane Conner, of Tuskegee, who
sang “The Sweetest Story Ever Told”
and John Bumstead, of Atlanta, whose
selections were “At Dawning" and
“Because.”
Palms, ferns, smilax and pedestal
floor baskets of ascension lilies were
interspersed with seven-branched ca¬
thedral candelabra with their glowing
white tapers, shed a soft radiance on
the lovely scene. The pews wbre
marked with bouquets of flowers and
white satin ribbons.
Ushers and groomsmen who led the
processional were: Jack Shepard, of
Dalton, Ga., brother of the groom;
Marshall Conner, the bride’s brother;
James Dawson and Dr. William G.
Simmons, both of Atlanta. The
bridesmaids included Miss Katherine
Shepard, of Fort Valley, sister of
groom, Miss Helen Moates, of Enter¬
prise; Mrs. George Alexander, of
Birmingham, cousin of the bride, and
Mrs. William Ros, of Tuskegee.
Miss Roberta Wheat, of Atlanta,
was Miss Conner’s maid of honor and
Mr. Shepard, selected Erskine Rice, of
Gainesville, Ga., for his best man.
The maid of honor and bridesmaids
were visions of loveliness in their
winsome costumes of French taffeta
—the maid of honor in cameo rose—
and the bridesmaids in blue grotto.
The bride entered with her father,
Hornady Conner, who gave her In
marriage. The classic simplicity of
her costume enhanced the demure
bride’s inherent charm and loveliness.
