HURLS CHALLENGE | LONDON — () — Cordell Hull American Secretary of Stat e, sought Saturday night to rally the. forces of the World Eceonomic con-| ference, sorely divided over thc‘ monetary issue, by issuing a chal lenge to statesmanship and polnt-l ing to wvarious major problems which he said the natiorg might vet attack. In an appeal which was inter preted as aimed primarily at re gaining the cooperation of France and other members of the gold bloc, the leader of the American delegation urged thé summoning of “fresh resolution to surmount im mediate obstacles” and called forl better understanding of opposing] viewpoints. Armed with fresh amplificationsl of President Roosevelt's policies Secretary Hull endeavored to en list as many nations ag possible in a price raising program on an international scale similar to that under way in the United States. Mr. Hull also engaged in con versations with spokesmen for va rious countries friendly to Ameri can policy with a view to drawing up a program in which many dele gations will have a hand and which ]\‘ ill not bear the specific American abels, 5 Foremost Goal ' The foremost goal would be raising of the world price level. It wag noted that Secretary “Hull mentioned the price level at the“ head of the list of topics which he said could be discussed despite refusal of thé Fremch and their continental allies to talk monetary Matters, ‘I gather from comments in the Newspapers that what is desired is 4 recital of some of the questions which are capable of consideration under existing conditions” the staitement issued in his capacity as chief of the American delegation said, “I would list for example: Price levels, eredit policy, innumerable brohibitions and restrictions strang ling mutually profitable trade ransactions, retaliation and count less other war breeding trade bractices and methods. “All those who beljeve in inter- National amity must rejoice in the decision ©f the bureau, which i< also the steering committee, to have the economic conférence g¢ forward. “No greater oppertunity could be presented to statesmanship than confronts this conference.

WASHlNGTON.—(AP)—Admin istration meves to allay industrial fears of forcible unionization un der the codes of fair competition became evident Saturday together with an indication that the textilel‘ code, first submitted, would bel‘ placed before President Roosevelt| early next week. I ' The extended delay in putting ‘the cotton agreement before the | ' chief executive for final study and | fpromulgation was authoritatively | ‘attributed to extreme care on the' ' part of Hugh S. Johnson, the ad- ‘ ' ministrator. Twice he has re-!‘ turned to subordinates for re\'is-|‘ 'ion of the report in which he will { ' review for the President the | | agreement and the testimony col- | 'lected in the public hearings on it. | Finally, Friday night he went to | work on it himself. i ! Forecasts that codes would be submitted shortly by other basic |, industries continued but there were signs also that some of the | non- union trades, though ready) Yo submit wage-raising and work- | | limiting agreements were fearful |of the provision of the industrial idCt granting labor right to organ ;ize without any interference from the employers. | In the light of this, significance | was attached to a statement by Johnson asserting that “it is not the duty of the (recovery) admin istration to act as an agent to un-l | ionize labor in any industry and, las has repeatedly been stated, it will not so act.” | Among leading non-unionized zindustrles are steel and automo-l | biles as well as a large section of |Hhe coal fields. Codes from all ithree have been awaited here for |some time and every effort has lbeen made to speed them up. | ;Both automobile and steel indus-] ‘trles have been running on short] | week schedules to share employ~ | ’ment and some business quarters! :malntain that their wage rates are; iin line with any reasonable mini mum levels that might be estab-] &lished by codes. { 'e . 1 YOUTH WILL BE } | PROSECUTED IN | i KIDNAPING CASE! | ATLANTA —(/P)—Solicitor Gener al John A.
