EINSTEIN GIVES REASONS FOR DEPRESSION Declares Internal Domestic Causes Responsible for Slump ENTER SITUATION Makes General Statement But Does Not Sug- gest Any Cure PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 24.—Prof. Albert Einstein, speaking at a mass meeting last night blamed the pres- ent depression on internal domestic causes. The relativity exponent disagreed with others on the assumption the war debt situation was responsible. Prof. Einstein said the general adoption of the view concerning war debts not being responsible for the present condition would quickly “remove the dangerous source of embitterment of nations.” He fur- ther said impovement in the ap- paratus of production through tech- nical invention decreasing the need for human labor was a factor in the cause for depression. Prof. Einstein did not suggest a cure and ended his remarks by making a plea for stronger inter- national confidence.

Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee agreed on beer and wine containing 3.05 percent alco- nolic by weight which the Brit- ish Commission held officially to be non-intoxicating. Senate leaders predicted today that the beer and wine bill would receive early consideration, measure js designed to change the present prohibition laws.
