- TRADE UNIT HITS HIGH COURT CURB Council for Industrial Prog- ress Opens Session, 800 Present. Industry’s representatives at the Council for Industrial Progress, speak- ing through John G. Paine, chairman of the management group of the coun- ¢il, today placed themselves on record as opposed to “any attempt to regu- late the powers of the (Supreme) Oourt or to regulate its viewpoint.” Paine’s pronouncement was con- tained in his opening address before the council session as it beg#h a two- day meeting in the Federal auditorium. About 800 leadess of labor and in- dustry were present as Maj. George L. Berry, Federal co-ordinator for in- dustrial co-operation, called the meet- ing to order and the invocation was delivered by Right Rev. James E. Free- man, Episcopal Bishop of Washington. As the springboard for its delibera- tions, the council received a message from President Roosevelt voicing con- fidence that from its deliberations *“will come constructive thought which will hoid and stabilize the gains we have already made, while at the same time creating additional employment opportunities and generally improving industrial conditions.” Roosevelt’s Message. “T trust,” the President said, “that the forthcoming deliberations between Tepresentatives of industry and labor will, by advancing the best interests of each, promote the stability of our whole national economy.” ‘The council also received messages of good will from Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady and Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor. Addressing himself entirely to the anti-trust laws, Assistant Attorney General John Dickinson told the eouncil that ‘“either the machinery for enforcement of the anti-trust laws must be expanded, or some other and different machinery for accomplish- ment of the purposes of those laws must be devised. Green Will Speak. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, was to address the conference this afternoon. Paine’s analysis of problems fac- Ing the Nation and the council re- solved itself into three points, as follows: “Pirst is the discontinuance of the Nation, and by this I do not mean of the administration, spending not only its income but its capital. We must pass on to our children a Nation as valuable from the standpoint of nat- ural wealth as that which we received from our forefathers. “Second: We must increase the mumber of earners within the country and make their earnings sufficient to enable them to enjoy what the country has to offer; and, “Third, we must enlarge the scope of opportunity for individual initiative, and we must do all of this within the scope of capitalistic economics. For if there is one thing above everything else that the last election has suc- ceeded in doing it is to have over- whelmingly underwritten capitalism as the dominant theory of the United es. The voters of this country had an opportunity to vote for socialism; the voters of this country had an op- portunity to vote for communism, but they have repudiated these theories and ideas I think with sound judgment, 80 that today aapitalism as an eco- nomic basis for life in the United Btates is more deeply intrenched than ever before in our recent history.” Beliefs of Council. Reviewing then the beliefs of the eouncil as expressed in the committee reports of last March, Paine concluded: “I believe that the true solution will eome only through such an instru- mentality as the National Council for Industrial Progress, for without any axes to grind, with no interest in po- litical office, with no pressure groups to which it must give consideration, with no necessitv for interesting the wotes back home, it can sit down under its present make-up and calmly con- sider the problems, and it can say with s finiteness that cannot otherwise be schieved wherein Government can help, should help and must help in the solution of these problems, and ‘wherein Government cannot help and should keep out.” Cl;l‘b of the 1917-18 War Industries Board, but with broader powers and jurisdic- dion., Divisions Qutlined. It would have divisions of war trade, War finance, price control and other units, each directed by administrators shosen by the President. The legislative recommendations in She plan embrace many features of the anti-war profits bill presented last year by the Senate Munitions Com- mittee and reported favorably by the Benate Finance Committee. The Army and Navy Munitions ®oard, which prepared the plan, said: “The objective of any warring na- tlon is victory, immediate and com- plete. It is conceivable that a war might be conducted with such great regard for individual justice and ad- ministrative efficiency as to make im- possible those evils whose existence in past wars is well known. “It is also conceivable that the oui- eome of a war so conducted might be defeat. * * * “The measures adopted must be such as to minimize damaging effects of sudden changes in industrial ac- $ivity and to maintain an approximate economic equilibrium throughout the Nation. Speculation Opposed. “Individual speculation must be op- posed. There must be no competitive efforts among Government purchasing eagencies to secure materials or the output ‘of facilities the availability of which has been found to be inadequate for the supply of military require- ments or where competitive efforts would be detrimental to the Govern- ment's interests.” At another point the report said: “The support of public opinion is 00 essential that anything that may appeal to the majority of the people &8 unnecessary, unfair or unjust can- not be permitted in the plans. The economic burden of war must be equitably distributed. ; “This entails & proper control of prices, & problem that must be solved {f profiteering is to be prevented and the cost of the war kept to the mini- mum.” ——l Aviation fnsurance premiums have Been cut in Denmark, NYE SAYS HITLER GOT FRENCH AID Senator “Munitions King” Schneider in Tacoma Address.

By the Associatea Press. MADRID, December 10.—Socialist militiamen repelled an insurgent at- tack today, driving back the Fascists in Dbitter fighting for control of strategic bridge heads to the Spanish capital. The long-expected “big push” to capture Madrid developed along the entire northern line, from the snow- covered Guadarrama Mountains in the ‘west to Guadalajara in the east. . Under a barrage of artillery fire, the insurgents struck with sudden force at the Puente de San Fernando, Pozuelo de Aracon and Cuesta de Los Perdices. Clash at Long Ranj Infantry clashed in a long-range rifie and machine gun duel before the | massed attack. Bombs rumbled along the Manzanares River line to the Northwestern University sector. A strange lull, in sharp contrast to the fury of the battle, preceded the final massed attack. From the wesiern sector, where the | heaviest fighting of the siege has blazed, the drive spread in succeeding waves to the east. Government commanders reported their half-frozen militiamen were holding Gen. Francisco Franco's at- tacking Fascists at bay. Heavy Fighting Reported. (Insurgent headquarters reported the fighting was heaviest between Casa del Campo and the University City, with practically incessant machine gun barrages raking the narrow no-man’s land of the Manzanares River valley. (Seventeen huge biplanes of a type never seen before on the Madrid front bombed the zone far west of the Casa del Campo, observers reported from ‘Toledo.

Except for the doctor and the Pope's attendant, only the papal secretary, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, was admitted to the sick room. Later, a verbal bulletin disclosed that an elastic stocking had been pre- scribed for the Pontiff's left leg. to relieve a persistent vericose condition. At the same time hope was ex- pressed that the Pope, after remaine | ing in repose for a fortnight, might | be able to emerge from his sickroom to receive the customary good wishes of the College of Cardinals on Christe mas eve. Not Expected to Walk. | Shortly after the relapse was re- | ported a high Vatican source expressed | the opinion that even if the Pope re= | covers from the present crisis he never will walk again. Even if he leaves his bed, it was said, the Pontiff will be compelled to spend | the rest of his days in an armchair. The relapse was understood to have | occurred shortly before 7 a.m. Dr. Amanti Milani, the Pope’s phye | sician, was hastily summoned and took immediate measures to revive the Pone tiff’s flagging strength.
