BRITISH MOTOR CAR TAXATION AID HINTED MacDonald Declares Government Ready to Assist in Foreign Competition. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 22.—A hint that the British government is considering revision of taxation methods to enable the British motor car industry to com- pete more successfully with American manufacturers in world markets was given by Prime Minister MacDonald y as he visited the motor show British makers long have complained that the present horsepower basis of taxation hampers their export trade because it makes unprofitable cars with engines, as are demanded in for- eign countries The result is, they say, that United States cars dominate the world markets, including the Brit- ish dominions. “Mr. MacDonald said he was aware ey uppused the horsepower tax and added the government was prepared to back their efforts in finding a good market. He said British manufacturers ‘Were not unanimous respecting methods of taxation, however, and that the whole question needed close consid- eration.

FOREIGN SPEAKERS ADDRESS DISCIPLES ON MISSION WORK (Continued Prom_ First Page.) “Present Day Affirmations of Our Christian Faith.” In a special sermon on “What Civili- zation Owes to the Bible” Dr. George H. Combs of Kansas City, Mo., one of the leading missionary workers in the brotherhood, declared that church mis- sions are the forerunners of chambers of commerce. Says Bible Quickens Industry. “The Bible contributes to civilization | because of its inspiration toward com- merce,” said Dr. Combs. “The Bible quickens industry. It sets wheels to whirling, ships to sailing, makes not only for the production of commodities but digs even into the channels of in- ternational exchange. “Schools of prophets and bands of disciples are the forerunners of cham- bers of commerce. Trade follows the flag, and not less certainly t:ade follows the missionaries. World trade comes ever in the wake of the world book. “The Bible,” Dr. Combs declared, “has entered profoundly into political struc- tures of nations and has had issuance in more just and more humane laws.” He expressed the ‘belief also that the Bible yet would save demociacy. Paints Dark Picture. The dark side of the church picture in China, according to Miss Hsi Ren Chen, is that many Christians have suffered persecution and that mission- aries have lost much material equip- ment and some of them have even lost their lives. But, she said, the present difficulties have served to arouse a more fundamental sense of responsibility on the part of Chinese Christmas. The added Christian movement in China, she sald, has caused many peo- ple to flock to the Christian churches. Due chiefly to Christianity, the speaker pointed out, China is rapidly changing her attitude toward women. Women are filling important places in the service of the church, she ex- plained, and now have equal opportuni- ties with men. Sees Trouble for Africa. A gloomy picture of conditions in Africa was given by Prof. E. R. Moon of the department of missions, Butler Indianapolis, Ind. University, The gross materialistic side of West- culture, he said, is spreading like a over the continent. “CI that took centuries in the West are coming to Africa ove: he said. “A people 3,000 years bel the times are asked to junk all they have and fall in and keep step with the rest of the world. Primitive Africa is passing off the map. Only one thing can save Africa from a darker night than she has ever had, and that is chwu‘u ;m in the Philip- of conditions in.the pine Islands, Silvistre Morales said great need was for more leaders in the ministry and in lay work. Society must be given attention if the church is to save it, Mr. Morales said. Social Christianity, he pointed out, is becoming more and more a vital part of church progress. Japanese Speakers Heard. “Japan’s Valuation of Jesus” was given by Yokichi Hiral of Tokio and ‘T. W. Nakarai of Indianapolis, Ind., in joint addresses at the Auditorium and Constitution Hall, where the two ses- sions were held today. From India the messages were given by Don McGavran of Damoh and V. C. Rambo of Mungeli. Other speakers were A. F. Henséy of Hartford, Conn.; Albert Esculto of the Philippine Islands, K. J. Jaroszewicz of Poland, Ludwig Von Gerdtell of Berlin, Germany, and E. C. Hinrickson of Brisbane, Queens- land, Australia. Received on White House Lawn. Upon leaving the White House, where they were received on the lawn by the President and Mrs. Hoover yesterday afternoon, the delegates proceeded to the Garfield Monument, near the Capi- tol, where memorial services were held for the martyred President, who had worshipped regularly in the little frame chapel where the Vermont Avenue Christian Church now stands. Rev. F. Treudley of Washington, a lifelong friend of Garfield, was the principal speaker, and placed a wreath at the base of the monument. Garfield was president of Hiram College, a Dis- ciples of Christ institution in Ohio, be- fore he became President. Mr. Treud- ley lived for a while in Garfield’s home. The favorite hymn of the former President, “Ho, Reapers of Life's Harves.,” was sung and J. H. Goldner offered prayer. Several of the Disciples attending the exercises had been students at Hi- ram College. These included Charles Reign Scoville, Elllott Osgood, . R. Walker, P. H. Welshimer, Harold Mum- bert, Mrs. Rodefer, P. J. Rice and Syl- via Siegfried. Vesper services at the National City Christian Church and a dinner for overseas delegates In the late afternoon at the Raleigh Hotel attracted many of the Disciples before the evening ses- sions in the Auditorium and Constitu- tion Hall. Rev. William Robinson of Birming- ham, England, who is president of Overdale College, was the preacher at the vesper services. “Religion must be built on the deep and abiding satisfaction of the soul in God,” he sald. “Much of our praying is asking God for things as \f He were a storekeeper, weheras we can often | pray best when we ask for nothing. The real essence of prayer is communion | with God.” At last night's sessions Dr. Claude E. Hill of Tulsa, Okla., and Dr. George R. Knepper of Akron, Ohio, were co- speakers.

Among the surely and unmis- takably recorded words of the Lord Jesus there is sufficient non-debatable and uncontested ground to provide an adequate basis for a lasting union of the divided and dismembered church. “Let us not be misunderstood. Our plea has never been for uniformity in opinion, but for unity in faith. And by faith we mean and always meant the unmistakably recorded words in the term of His own example. Of the in- adequacy of a divided church for its task, we are confronted with centuries of tragic failure. Division has been in- gloriously tried and has falled until at last no apology for it is left. In theory, at least, denominationalism has made its last stand. “Our movement is an honest attempt to solve the problem. We are here with a passion plus a progiam. We have never meant to ask men to come to us or walk with us, but rather have we #ought to find & way in which all might walk together with Him.'

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 22.—The Chicago radio show went on last night without musicians, who had been called out on strike by their union business agent because a piano player employed to perform there had been dismissed. Various radio stations had been stag- ing their broadcasting in a glass-inclosed booth at the show, where they were visible to patrons. Each program was blocked as its time came by James C_ Petrillo, the musicians’ head. At show officials’ protest Petrillo insisted that $150 be paid to one Herbert Mintz, who had been hired to play, officials said, by some one without authority. They re- fused to pay him. The quarrel remained at an impasse last night, both sides remaining firm in their claims. There was no music, and Petrillo said that if the show offi- clals try to use “canned music” to en- tain their customers, he will put them on the “unfair” list, which will pre- vent-them from holding similar shows with union musicians in other cities.

LOUIS, October 22.—Formation of a definite policy-to speed up the completion of the inland waterways system as a constructive measure to re: duce unemployment and hasten the re. turn of normal business conditions will be one of the problems considered at the twelfth annual Convention of the Mississippi Valley Association here No- vember 24 and 25, Lachlan Macleay, secretary of the association, said yesterday. “We are in a period of business de- pression and unemployment and we be- lieve it is good sound business to utilize the available Government funds at this time to alleviate the situation,” Mac- leay said. “Congress has appropriated $67,000,000 for rivers and harbors, and an additional $35,000,000 for flood con- trol and has authorized the appropriation of $148,000,000 in addition, to be voted as the need arises. An aggressive and comprehensive policy of "using these funds as quickly as possible would go far toward relieving the present con- ditions, and at the same time enable the Government to take advantage of the low prlctn for hbor and material.” STUDY OF OF JOBLESS STARTED PENDING ARRIVAL OF WOODS (Continued From First Page.) April 1 total of those able to work and seeking jobs at the same 2,500,000. The task, however, is further com- plicated by the Summer-long drought, still unbroken in some sections, which already has called for emergency aid from the Government, many States and the railroads. The peak of need for aid by drought sufferers all along has been expected to come in the Winter with exhaustion of depleted farm supplies and funds. Veterans’ Preference Asked. Herman H. Weimer, national com- mander of the Disabled American Vet- erans of the World War, wrote to Pres- ident Hoover today urging that “an effort be made to guarantee preferences for qualified disabled men to fill any positions that may be created as a re- sult of your efforts.” Weimer said the disabled veterans “have keenly felt the lack of oppor- tunity for work” and that he felt justi- fied in asking special consideration for them “in the present emergency.” Residents of the South Atlantic States were _said by Commissioner of Agricul- ture Willlam A. Graham of North Caro- lina, to be confronted with the necessity of raising price levels or lowering liv- ing standards. In addressing the thirteenth annual meeting yesterday of the National As- sociation of Commissioners and Secre- taries of Agriculture, Graham said, “wages, prices of agricultural products and living costs have been, and are yet, so far out of adjustment that the average farmer cannot get enough for his produce to enable him to pay his hired help enough to meet the cost, in many cases, of their actual living ex- penses.” Before the representatives of 25 States, he North Carolina commissioner sketch. ed the conditions he said were prevail- ing in the States of West Virgini Virginia, North Carolina, South Clm- lina, Georgia and Florit Apart from farmers, Graham sald, “the laboring man will "be compelled to live within his present meager income and those who have capital must be content with smaller returns if in- vestments are made at all in the present depressed industrial conditions.” “But there is a ray of hope,” he con- tinued. “Our cotton mills are slowly regaining their former activities. A few of them have lost very little time and some of those that have stood idle for many months have recently reported greater spindle activity. “We cannot, however, expect anything like complete industrial recovery till the prices of farm products show a marked improvement, thus increasing the buying power of our rural popula- tion.” Members of Group. Formation of the statistical group was suggested by President Hoover on Au- gust 12. Besides Secretary Davis it in- cludes Secretary Lamont, John P. Frey, American Federation of Labor; Arthur ©O. Wharton, railroad brotherhoods and allied organizations; Dr. Leo Wolman, National Bureau of Economic Research; Harold F. Browne, National Industrial Conference Board; P. W. Litchfield, United States Chamber of Commerce: W. M. Steuart, director of the census; Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of labor ‘statistics; Dr. Joseph H. Willits, Advisory Committee of the Census of Unemployment, and Noel Sargent, Na- tional Association of Manufacturers. Before the statistical group assem- bled at the Labor Department “Gen.” Jacob S. Coxey, who once led an army of the unemployed against Washington, was on hand with a placarded automo- bile awaiting an interview with Sec- retary Lamont, chairman of the cabinet committee appninted by President Hoo- ver to deal with unemployment. Cexey was ushered in for a private discussion of his ideas—which called largely for expenditures on public works by governmental organizations to make jobs—and took his departure with the official thanks for his call. In spite of the nearly 40 years which have elapsed since his famous h, the commander appeared still hale and hearty.

PROJECTS TO AID CAPITAL JOBLESS, Grant Studies Program to Entail Federal Expenditure of $1,500,000 Here. Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant 3d, director of Public Buildings and Public Parks, is making a study of g) jects that President Hoover’s unemployment con- ference may desire to go forward with here, to aid the situation in the Na- tional Capital. If this program mate- rializes, work on the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway and the Arlington Memorial Bridge would be speeded up and it would mean the spending of an additional $1,500,000. Col. Grant expects to make his recom- mendations to conference leaders about Friday. Included in the items that Col. Grant may recommend are com- pletion of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway between Q street and the Po- tomac River. It is estimated that $1,- 000,000 will be necessary to finish this fflh but at present about $500,000 would likely be asked for. Another big vmjeet that may be au- thorized immediately is additional work on the Arlington Memonll Bridge de- velopment, for which $1,000,000 would be requested {mmsdmkly, to -suppl e~ ment the $1,000,000 that is being ex- pended during the mlrrent fiscal year. This would mean that the bridge and its approaches would be completed a year earlier than called for in the present schedule. This money would be used in im- proving the Lincoln Memorial plaza TWO TROUSER suirs OVERCOATS TOPCOATS 125 .35 -85 and in creating the pretentious terminal plaza on Columbia Island, which is to take the form of a great circle. The level of the island is now being raised by hydraulic pipeline dredging, from the bottom of the Potomac River, southward of the main bridge. Funds to cut down unemployment |hm would be sought shortly after Congress convenes, if the studies which Col. Grant's office is now making gain immediate action.

S. and Canada to Plan Cam- paign in Chicago. By the Assoclated Press. ND, October 22.—A six- hour working day will be sought by the rallroad labor unions as their solution of the unemployment problem. In the same manner that they finally obtained the eight-hour day i4 years ago, 700 representatives of the seven labor organizations of the railroad in- dustry in the United States and Canada will meet in Chicago November 12 to lay out a cam for a six-hour day. For more than a year, it was re- vealed in union records, the operating side of the rallroad industry has been confronted with an increasing unem- ployment situation. ‘Thousands of younger members of the unions have been made idle by the current business depression, while other thousands have been forced from their jobs by the unification of lines and the inroads ef bus transportation on some divisions. A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, said the six-hour day is now a neces- sity, and that at the Chicago confer- ence committees will be organized to campaign all over the country to shave two hours from the working day. ‘Whitney said a five-day week was a more popular suggestion in the shog- craft divisions and among office work- ers, but that for the operating unions the six-hour day is the more feasible plan because it is better suited to train services, LOCAL OFFICERS IN DARK. Leaders Here Uninformed of Action of Rallroad Unions. National officers of the four railroad brotherhoods stationed in Washington ‘were without official notice last night of the action of their organizations, an- nounced at Cleveland, calling a confer- ence on unemployment and the shorter work day to be held in Chicago Novem- ber 12, but indicated they had been given cause to expeet the step. ° No communication has been sent to any Government official in the matter as yet. However, those persons with ex- perience in the field pointed out that the procedure now undertaken by the railroad unions was exactly identical with that resorted to in 1916, which finally culminated in the installation of an eight-hour day in train service in- stead of a 10-hour day, but only after President Wilson had the pas- sage of the Adamson act. The issue ‘was not transferred to Washington until the union’s representatives had formu- lated their views in a Chicago confer- nee, had thereafter approached rafl- road management and encoun- tered a definite refusal. Thereafter the issue was taken up with Congress. AVERT TRAIN ACCIDENT Police Find Youth Unconscious in Auto on Tracks. Special Dispateh to The Star.
