The Federal Reserve Board in its review of conditions made public last night said industry and trade were less active in October than in the preceding month, and were in smaller volume ‘than a year ago. The gen- eral level of wholesale commodity prices, it was said, showed a further slight advance, “Activity of iron and steel mills and of automobile plants was smaller in October and November than at any previous period of the year,” the re- view continued. “There were also decreases during October in cotton consumption and in production of building materials, crude petroleum and boots and shoes. “The output of bituminous coal and the number of hogs and cattle slaughtered increased by less than the seasonal amount. Production showed increases in October. Build- {/ing contracts awarded increasea con- siderably, owing_to awards in New York and the last week of October. Although total loans and invest- ments of member banks in leading cities increased by nearly $300.000,000 during the latter part of October and the first half of November and reach- ed the highest peak ever reported on November 16, the board said loans for commercial and agricultural purposes declined during the period from the seasonal peak reached early in Oc- tober.

TURK ENVOY EXCHANGE QUESTIONED BY GIRARD Former Ambassador to Germany Says Lausanne Treaty Was Rejected by the Senate. By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, November 28.—The constitutional authority of the Pre dent to exchange Ambassador: Turkey on the basis of the Laus treaty, which was rejected by the Senate, was questioned yesterday by James W. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany and vice president of the American Committee Opposed to the Lausanne Treaty. Mr. Gerard also charged Moukhtar Bey, the Turkish Ambassad i nate, with official respo the murder by Turks of 30,000 Armeni- ans and the subsequent decimation of the Armenian republic. Mr. Gerard expressed belief that the Senate would find that the action of the State Department in resuming diplomatic negotiations with Turkey was illegal and unconstitutional. Mr. Gerard said that in 1921 Moukhhtar Bey was Kemal's foreign commissar and entered into treaties hetween Turkey and Russia whereby the Armenian republic was cut into four parts.

The commerce committee head would even favor an out-and-out sub- sidy if it would serve the purpose of having private interests assume the ownership and operation of the Amer- ican ships. He would also approve of the plan to dispose of the fleet to the railroads, saying that there is every reason to feel that the railroad com- panies would be able successfully to keep the American flag afloat around the world. In fact, he made it plain that he would agree to almost any practical plan which would take the Government out of the shipping busi- ness and at the same time would in- sure the maintenance of an adequate tleet. ime for Decision, He Says. During his conference with President, Senator Jones advised him that the time has arrived when the administration must decide upon some definite merchant marine policy. e id he is not very hopeful of the Government succeeding in selling its remaining merchant boats and that it it must continue the operation of the ships itself, it must spend money putting the ships, which are becom- ing worn and otherwise unserviceable, in good condition. Senator Jones said that he would again offer his bill, which provides encouragement of a material and sub- stantial sort to private interests to take the merchant marine. He real- izes that this bill would meet with op- position because it is in reality a sub- sidy measure, virtually the same in principle as the Harding subsidy bill the | which went down to defeat in 1922 Besides this he will offer a bill au- thorizing the Government to spend from 20 to 30 million annually on the struction and reconditioning of hant boats until the point is ached when the American fleet is nsidered adequate. He has reason to feel that there is considerable sen- timent in Congress in favor of the latter proposal for the salvation of the fleet. Already Senators Fletcher of Florida, - Edge of New Jersey and | Steiwer of Washington have express- | cd themselves as favoring such a pro- gram. Called Aid to Defense, 1t is realized that the President per- | sonally is opposed to the Government | spending any more money on the | building of new vessels. Whether or not he could be won over to such a program those who have discussed it with him are unable to venture a guess at this time. He has indicated, however, that he approves of keeping the present ships in repair. His hope is that the Government will be able finally to dispose of its fleet to private interests. Senator Jones in his advoca keeping an _ adequate Am merchant marine contends that the National defense is not complete with- out a sufficient number of merchant ships. This lesson was brought home to the American people, he pointed out, when the United States entered the World War. “That lesson cost us more than §3,- 000,000,000, Senator Jones said. “*Aside from other losses, that lesson is today costing us $120,000,000 in an- nual interest. We should never again be caught in such a position. Besides the fact that a merchant marine | serves as an adjunct to the Army and | Navy. it also is necessary for the pro-| motion of our comme American | shippers should not be dependent upon | foreign bottoms for their overseas | transportation.” Senator Jones also discussed flood control legislation with the President.
