MOSES MOTOR CO. 1437 Irving Street Adams 5688 Open Evenings and Sunday For the purpose of considering con- certed action of Government activit here to increase fire protection to Go Go ernment_records and buildings, tary of Commerce Lamont has c-ued 2 conference of representatives of several departments and independent establish- ments for Thursday, April 3, at the De- partment of Commerce, to go over the | whole situation. Some interdepart- mental fire prevention committee may result. In his call for the conference, Secre- tary Lamont referred to both the White House and the Capitol fires as having | recelvedtg:bllc attention out of propor- tion to actual loss, but he recalled that disastrous fires had occurred and still can oceur. ‘The Government should take some steps to apply the principles of fire prevention which it is developing to prevent fires in private property, the Secretary believed. In the Bureau of Standards, F. H. Ingberg, chief of fire resistance, has developed & considerable amount of data on fire prevention and fire pro- tection which may be of help to the whole Government in protecting its own property, it was pointed out. The Fed- eral Government carries no fire insur- ance on any of its propert; The joint activities of an lnm'de'plrt mental committee, it was pointed out, could form an easy contact between the units and agencies engaged in the de- sign, construction and care of Govern- ment bulldings. It also could serve to give information on the hazards of ex- isting conditions, the effectiveness, proper design, use and installation de- tails of fire-resisting materials and con- struction and installation of fire extin- | guishing devices. ‘The classification of records from the standpoint of immediate and future value and the respective degrees of protection to be mccorded them are other subjects which may receive at- tention from the conference. Secretary Lamont will open the con- +| ference, which is expected to organize | with its own uflcers {U. 8. TRADE ABROAD | HURT BY AMERICANS | Products Withdrawn and Foreign- ers Employed to Detriment of Home Marts. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. MANAGUA, Nicaragus, March 26 (Delayed) (C.D.N.).—One striking trend of American trade in Mexico and Cen- tral America clearly shows that the present unemployment and _factory overproduction in the United States would be greatly relieved if American sorporations doing business abroad would employ citizens of the United States to sell Amerlmn instead of European-made In uu last few years American cor- g:flumu financed by American capital, e acquired factories in Eu and have become the strongest fi in driving American commerce lrm for- eign markets by restricting the output of industry in the United States. It is not an ordinary fight or competition, since the controlling corporation merely withdraws its American-made product from the market and substitutes the output of its European factories. Even more widespread is the prefer- ence of many American corporations to employ citizens of European countries instead of citizens of the United States whenever possible in their offices, sales~ rooms and factories abroad. This undermining of American com- merce and industry by American cor- porations, with the attendant decrease of employment and consumption of raw materials at home, is noticeable in South America, but it is even more con- spicuous in Mexico and Central Amer- ica—at the very borders of the United States. Here one can see the novel spec- tacle of representatives of the Ameri- can State and Commerce Departments using their official influence with these governments to secure big concessions for American corporations, though the equipment they will install is manu- factured in Europe, while factories in the United States manufacturing the same equipment are discharging work- men because they lack orders.

(#) —An hum- ble vegetable newcomer from Mexico is on the way to fame and fortune in Florida and other sections of the South where the soil does not freeze. 1t is the chayote, & one-seeded squash introduced by the United States De- partment of Agriculture. The roots, resembling yams, are de- licious. So are the shoots, which are prepared as are asparagus. The vines may be fed to stock and it has been | found that bees produce superior honey {from the flowe The Chayotes also can be made in es.
