However, as it is, said ,';3.‘0??-* and other like business are entirely «.glear. Your advice on this and as to the why and ' wherefors will be interesting to me as a large employer. 1t is difficult for the average person to understand just why an employer of eight or more persons should be subject -to unemployment tax while the employer of seven, one less. person, is tax free. It would be en- lightening to find out how Congress arrived at such a conclusion.

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden’s speech in the House of Commons may swing the United States back Nothing could be better calculated” to- disgust American opinion and turn it against international ooperation than Eden’s remarks. He attempts to put over the view that the United States called the nine-Power parley at Brussels and is solely responsible for the decisions of that parley. In other words, Eden wants to make the United States the policeman who protects British commercial int ts in the Far East. Thus the attitude of the British Government yward Japanese aggression in China begins to seem nore and more akin to its toleration of German and Italian aggression in Spain. Prime Minister Chamberlain has virtually de- clared himself satisfied to permit the European Fas- ist Powers to war on the Spanish Government so ong as they make no territorial acquisitions in Spain and do not disturb British property rights there. Apparently, Chamberlain also is satisfied to allow Japanese aggr on in China, so long as Britain's commercial interests are not disturbed. This view is a long way from that expressed by President Roosevelt at Chicago. He ibout American investments in China. They are too 1egligible to seriously influence our foreign policy.
