On the surface, officials maintain an optimistic tone. Industries are daily promising co- operation and several are nctuallyt moving to enter agreements for| self regulation with increased em-' ployment and increase in wages. Grave Concern Nevertheless, in Washington, there is grave concern over the situa- tion. | .In only the - cofton textile in:, dustry, with 400,000 employees, has an agreement been reached and this goes into effect next Mon- day. | No other industry has such a code and three weeks must elapse before any single additional code can go into effect. i President Roosevelt had hoped to, have the code program well started i i i _| for major industries within 60 days| of June 16, when it became a law,| but the prospects for this are now dim. Critical Aspect A critical aspect of the situation) is that industry has stepped up production tremendously and manu-| factured goods which experts are’ certain cannot be sold until the purchasing power is lifted, yet by delaying wage raising codes, in- dustry has done very little to in- crease the purchasing power of the| masses. | This opens the possibility of new jam%%e% Tslan Can., provided this remarkable evidence of the cor- dial relations that exist between two countries which tain an unfortified border.
