- DEPRESSIONHELD T0BE AVOIDABLE Dawes’ Forecast of Slump Brings Belief in Survey of Economists. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 17.—Some of the country’s economists and industrialists took a look today at a prediction an- other depression may be just around the corner and said something can be done about it. In a survey of opinion on a pre- diction of Gen. Charles G. Dawes that a business recession is due in 1939, many agreed with him. Others did not. Those who did advanced a variety of reasons as to how it might be prevented. Generally they said: Cut national and local expenses and balance the budget; Revive building; Rehabilitate factory equipment; Arrive at the “proper value of the dollar in terms of commodity prices and keep the value permanently.”— In other words, have a ‘“managed dollar”; “Maintain freedom of individual enterprise,” Create more wealth; Revalue the dollar and increase Interest rates.

Dawes, who made his prediction in a book, publication of which was announced at Chicago. At Kansas City, Jones said: “I don’t believe it. CGonditions are good, they will continue to be good for many years, because the country has been on hall rations for five or six years. We've got to catch up.” COPELAND TO URGE MORTGAGE MEASURE Radio Address by Senator for In- terest Cut and Time Ex- tension. By the Assoclated Press.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. Lieut. Murphy, Of Western Champions, Dies Was Stricken Two Days Before “His Boys’ Won Drill. Stricken with a heart attack two days before “his boys” at Western High School marched off with top honors in the annual company com- petitive drills last week, Lieut. Joseph G. Murphy, in charge of cadets at Western for five years, died Saturday | in Mount Alto Hospital. Lieut. Murphy, who lived at 4422 Harrison street, had been ill for nearly & year with heart trouble, members of his family said today, and when his condition became worse several weeks 8go, he insisted on “seeing my boys through the drills before he gave up. Before the acute attack forced him to retire May 7, he groomed his four companies so well that they won the trophy for having a higher general average during the drill than any other school. It marked the third time ‘his companies at Western had won top honors in the annual drills since he took charge in 1933. Lieut. Murphy, who was 42, had been an instructor of commercial law at Western for 10 years. Last year he organized the cadet unit at Woodrow Wilson High School. He was a second lieutenant in the Rainbow Division during the World War and saw service throughout this country’s participation in the conflict.

MAY 17, 1937 EXPORTS SPEEDED BY TRADE PACTS Department of Commerce Cites Increased Shipping to 16 Nations._ By the Associated Press. The Commerce Department credited reciprocal trade agreements today with speeding an increase in American exports to the 16 participating na- tions. Henry Chalmers, chief of the For- eign Tariffs Division, said that all ex- ports gained in the first quarter of this year compared to the similar 1936 period, but exports to countries with which pacts have been signed, increased 32 per cent, against 19 per cent for others. Chalmers also said that in 1936 United States exports to the 16 na- tions signing” reciprocal agreements gained 14 per cent over 1935, Exports to others gained only 4 per cent. Increases in 1936. Imports from agreement countries were 22 per cent higher in 1936 and from non-agreement countries 16 per cent. Whether the pacts have helped ex- ports or imports most is difficult to determine, Chalmers said. He as- serted, however, the agreements have had little effect on the balance be- tween exports and imports. Alexander V. Dye, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce, estynated the world trade of all nations totaled $44,000,000,000 last year. “The outlook for 1937 at present is for a substantial increase over the 1936 figure,” he said. ’ The estimate for last year compared with a pre-war peak of $40,000,000,000 and a post-war record of $68,000,000,- 000 in 1929. Anglo-American Pact. American foreign trade officials turned, meanwhile, to trade talks at the imperial conference in London for & cue on negotiations for an Anglo- American trade pact. Exploratory discussions on the pos- sibilities of a pact with Great Britain —this Nation'’s biggest customer— %2 A—I11 have been under way for several months. v Officials indicated that whether the’ discussions develop into direct negos tlations and the actual signing of 4° reciprocal trade pact depend on the outcome of the imperial conference, deliberations. The major hurdle in the way of an Anglo-American pact, they erplained, are the empire preferences set in the Ottawa agreements. Those agree= ments now assure Canada and other component parts of the empire free entry into England for practically all of their farm products, while United States products must pay duties. -— As a wedding gift leading parts in any play at Richmond Theater, Lon- don, have been offered to Christopher Quest and Miss Lindisfarne Hamilton.
