OAKLAND, Calif., December 6.—An Interstate Commerce Commission move to reach “a rather general agree- ment” with State authorities in pre- scribing safety standards for motor “| carriers was disclosed today by Wil- liam E. Lee, a commission member. “We certainly shall spare no effort to achieve that result,” the commis- sioner told an 11-State truck owners’ convention. He said the question of prescribing standards of safety “bris- tles with opportunities for conflicts of Jurisdiction” and that “if all these op- portunities were to ripen into legisla- tion the Supreme Court would have plenty of occupation for some time to come.” In setting up an organization to ad- minister the 1935 Federal motor carrier act, he said, the commission is en- deavoring to “avoid the mistake of making for the motor carrier industry a suit of regulatory clothes which does not fit. “It must have a tailor-made suit and not a_hand-me-down from the rail- roads.” Sales Tax Up. Italy has increased its sales tax on oil products. [ INCREASED BUYING OF SEALS URGED Director of Tuberculosis As- sociation Cites $6,000 Added to Budget.

The failure of the world effort to preserve peace, how- ever, placed us before & new situation. War had become a reality—the fire had broken out. Faced with this fact. it became encumbent on me to give first thought to the unquestioned mandate of our people, expressed in recent legislation and in numerous other ways, through the press, through public gatherings and through petitions and letters, that, above all, the United States should not be| drawn into the conflict. But while shaping our Nation's policies to the purpose of banning the fire from its | shores, I did not for one moment lose | sight of the truth that the best guar- | antee against such a calamity would | be the smothering of the fire itself. | Hence, the measures that the Govern- | ment has successively adopted have served the two-fold object of keeping us out of war and of confining and | shortening hostilities. “You may rest assured that, in con- tinuing closely to follow every develop- ment abroad, I shall have steadily be- fore me that dual purpose I have at- tempted to set forth above.
