WEEK'S NEWS IN REVIEW (Continued rrom Fage One) evidenced on the side of the victor- ious, was first set forth by Chair- man y election midnight: “I have an idea that the people who o viciously assailed the Presi- dent during the campaign, who called him a Communist and a would-be dictator, an enemy of bus- iness, are now rather ashamed of the bitterness they brought into the yself, T hope these attack oon be forgotten. am sure that the President entertains no bitterness, even to those who in the: fury of the struggle so grossly as-) sailed him, “I know that all will join me in the hope the scars of this great poli- tical battle will soon be healed. Nobody on our side of the fence has any thought of reprisal or oppres- sion.” The industrial and business up- trend conunued, the election. On Wednesday morning, when the New York Stock Exchange opened,| there was some hesitancy noticeable among traders on the floor, but it lasted for only a minute or two. The buying quickly started and 11181 market closed steadily. A break came Friday, precipitated by the wage increases in the steel industry. Thousands of ceived notices of pay increases the companies giving the which averaged around 10 per cent, were the Carnegie-Illi-| onis Company, the largest mbs)d»I iary of the United States Steel Cor-| poration, and the Bethlehem Steel | Company. The entire steel indus- try, it was expected in financial circles, will pay the increased scale within another week. steel workers re-| Labor union officiass, vreaged in} organizing steel workers. said the increase was given in an effort to offset their campaign and declared | the steel workers would not be sat-| isfied with the increase, They also said the increase ws agreed upon a week ago, but was held up in the hope of a Republi- ‘I can victory in the election. The week also brought many spec- | ial dividends from corporations, at- tributable tax bill becomes effective January 1 There has Leen much talk of revis- ion of the measure in the session of Congress. Likewise, such talk of revision extends to the Social Security Act Meanwhile, the Government an- nounced the distribution of recor cards to both employers and em- pl would soon begin. This act with its provisions for unemploy- | ment insurance and old age pen- sions, also becomes effective on, January 1. THE SHIPPING STRIKE Immediately upon his return to the White House, the President| conferred with Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins and other Cabinet members on the maritime strike. The Labor Department and the Maritime Commission sought to end | the strike, which has kept ships at their piers in the Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf ports, but the union rep- resentatives and operators woald‘ not resume negotiations. It was estimated that almost 400 ships were tied up. There was a minimum of disorder, even around the hiring halls, which remained the bitterest issue between the Federation of Maritime work- ers and the ship owners. The un-| ions of the West Coast demand con- trol of the halls, used as a central agency for the hiring of longshore- men and seamen. In the East, and on the Gulf, the wtrikes were called in sympathy with the Coast unions. The President made it plain he was not ready to intervene in the strike situation. After the White| House conference Friday, Secrclaly' {erkins said “There is no thought at this moment” of such interven- tion. PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE The President was responsible for the conference of Pan-American nations, opening in Buenos Aires on December 1. He suggested the con- ference in personal letters to the heads of all Pan-American govern- ments, and suggested Buenos Aires as the meeting place. He regards the conference as a furtherance of his “Good Neigh- bor” policy to all Nations. Hardly had the returns from Tuesday’s election been counted be- fore the White House disclosed the President was giving consideration to attending the opening day of the Buenos Aires conference. Then, on his return to Washington Friday, the President said he was making tentative plans to do so. If these are carried through, he would extend his Caribbean fishing cruise, visit Buenos Aires for the opening day, address the confer- ence and cruise back to Washing- ton. He would not remain for the busi- ness sessions. His address, in all probability, would be a plea for international peace, citing the peaceful relation- ships in the Western Hemisphere as an example for the nations of Europe and Asla. ‘The American delegation, led by uniterrupted by|only at jwe |rights and vital interests must bcw to the New Deal's 1936 coming | secretary of State Cordell Hull, sailed from New York today. FOKEIGN AFFAIRS The week presented still another pattern of confusion in foreign af- fairs. It is a confusing pattern of diffused foreign policies of Italy and Germany. Only two weeks ago, these two naumh signed an accord, character- i as an “understanding” on com- mon problems. They agreed on a common front against Bolshevist Russia, against Communism, a com- mon program of action in the Dan- ube. What else they agreed upon was (not made known, if they did agree sn anything else. This came at a time when Ger- meny obviously was counting the iriendship of Great Britain, and not ving much success either. Then, on Sunday at Milan, I1 Duce spoke of the Meditteranean in his usual militaristic fashiion and his words were directed against Britain, undoubtedly to the chagrin of the Third Reich of Hitler. All of which shows that neither Hitler and Mussolini have not yet reached the point of common un- derstanding on all European prob- lems. 11 Duce’s addr Britain, and at France, the ‘“absurdity” of of Nations. Since the rise of Fascism, the| Italians have called the Mediter- ranean “Mare Nostrum” (our sea), | and in his Milan address, I1 Duce declared: “Italy is an island which emerges | from the Mediterranean. This 1 address myself here toward the| British, who perhaps at this mo-| ment are listening—this sea is the| high road of Great Britain, one of the many highroads, or rather shortcuts, through which (he British Empire reaches its outly- ing territory more rapidly. “If the Medtierranean Iis Ior\ others a highroad, for us Italians' it is life. We have said a thousan but against the League sen Itimes and I repeat, that we do not| intend to menace this road, we do not intend to interrupt it. But, say, on the other hand, our respected. There are no other alternalives. The reasoning brains of the BI;L-‘ ish Empire must realize the thing| is done and irrevocable. The socn-| er the better.” e British reaction curae > of Commons.
