SENATOR COUZENS WARNS INDUSTRY Revised Methods or Old-Age Pension and Job Policies - Necessary, He Says. A warning to American industry that it must revise its methods to prevent recurrence of present-day conditions or prepare itself to accept unemployment insurance and cld-age pension legisla- tion was sounded yesterday by Senator Couzens. Republican, of Michigan. The statement of the Michigan Sena- tor, former vice president and general | manager of the Ford Motor Co., was addressed to the forthcoming meeting of the United States Chamber of Com- merce at Atlantic City April 28 to| May 1. William Butterworth, the Chamber of Commerce, Couzens for his suggestiol business men of America ! honestly to find solutions for our major economic problems.” Stresses Employment Needs. Calling upon business men attend that meeting to “devise ways and means for the stabilization of in- president of thanked dustry and the maintenance of con-| tinuous employment.” Couzons said: “I submit that questions of unem- ployment insurance, old-age pensions, regulation of industry. do not arise in Congress out of thin air. “Congress will not provide for unem- ployment and old-age insurance if in- dustry does not create the need. If in- dustry does not want Government in- terference in business it must prevent | the need.” Invited to Attend. “Frankly, knowing as I do the details of Government in Washington, I would much prefer that industry, individually or in groups, would take care of these matters. However, the American public has exhibited great. patience to give in- dustry an opportunity to take care of these matters, and it cannot be ex- ted that the public will wait much onger, if at all.” “We believe that sober busin agement,” Butterworth said, voted to reducing unemployment as rapidly as possible without jeopardiz- ing the 40,000,000 now at work. The chamber will be glad to have the Sena- tor join 3,000 other business men at At- lantic City and it welcomes any reme- dial suggestions he may have to offer.” EMBERS of the committee of Phi Sigma Epsilon Sorority, Kappa Chap- ter, who have charge of the card party to be given by their organization tonight at 1032 Connecticut avenue.

IN GASOLINE TRADE Committee Points to Realign- ment of World Distribu- tion Channels. By the Associated Press. An unofficial agency of the Govern- ment today said the United States is losing the commanéing position it has Lleld in the world gasoline export mar- et. The final report of the voluntary committee on petroleum economics, ap- pointed by Secretary Wilbur to survey the needs of the American oil industry for the next six months, emphasized the increasing abllity of foreign countries to supply motor fuel for use outside the United States. It pointed to a re- alignment of world-wide _distribution channels, which in effect is short-circuit- ing American refineries which once re- exported great quantities of foreign oils. Prior Figures Confirmed. Today’s report confirmed preliminary figures issued a week ago, setting the total domestic demand for the six months, April 1 to September 30, of this vear, at 228,800.000 barrels of gasoline, derived from 461,434,000 barrels of do- D. C, WEDNESDAY, mestic crude oil, plus imports and with- drawal of gasoline from stordge. It repeated also the distribution of this domestic production by principal areas, allocating 35.25 per cent of the total crude output to Texas, 24.56 per cent to Oklahoma, slightly under 21 per cent to California and 19.25 to all other producing areas. It recommended & to- tal crude oil withdrawal from field and pipe line stocks of 16,082,000 barrels during the period, but did not break it down by States or producing areas, The Loss of Ascendancy. ‘The loss of American ascenidancy in the world gasoline market has come, the report showed, in the face cf actual in- creased exports from this country. These rose from 43,300,000 barrels in 1927 to 63,200,000 in 1930, but the, other coun- tries gained faster. United States ex- ports Tose 8,417,000 barrels, 8,255,000 barrels and 3,189,000 barrels in 1928, 1929 and 1930, respectively. The other | elght major producing countries in the same years gained 6,709,000 barrels, 13,~ 981,000 barrels and 18,727,000 barrels. The United States proportion of total shipments decreased from 62.42 per cent in 1927, through 61.21 per cent and 56.2 per cent in the next two years, to 49.1 per cent in 1930.
