Arms Race Is Sole Job Source

- For Millions,

£2

Simms Indicates

‘ By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, April 21—An economic debacle such as mankind

never before witnessed threatens to

sweep the world unless the leading

nations soon find a way to inaugurate a gradual slowing-down of

armaments production.

This prediction, made by Benito ®

Mussolini last May, is one of the reasons why Prime Minister Chamberlagin of Great Britain, Premier Daladier of France, and the Italian Duce are now attempting an European accord. Without such accord the present armaments race will be speeded up rather than slowed down, and world-wide disaster is feared. In Great Britain there is now little unemployment. Among skilled workers there is none at all. That is because the country is spending seven and a half billion dollars on rearmaments and practically all classes of industry on a 24-hour basis. Another seven and a half pillion dollars, it was said, will -be spent if the first isn’t enough.

Jobs Hinge on Armament

A sudden stoppage of the armaments program would make millions jobless, and the result might be catastrophic upon the whole national economy. It could lead to revolt, to foreign war or to wholesale unemployment doles and national bankruptcy. Eos All of the great powers today face a similar situation, some in a more acute way than Britain, some perhaps less. The United States ‘is spending more than a billion dollars

annually on armaments; France}

Italy and Japan more than a billion; Germany two billion; Russia, three billion, and others in proportion. ’ Nor isl any end to the splurge in sight, The tendency is to increase arms expenditures annually—expenditures which no national budget can meet—thus piling up bigger and bigger national debts. Premier Mussolini pointed out the sudden stoppage of the world’s armament industry would precipitate an economic and social crisis of tremendous magnitude. It would throw so many millions out of their jobs that it would constitute a major disaster. Even countries where the arms busihess has not reached important proportions would feel it

like the rest, bedause raw materials and other armament essentials are drawn from every corner of the globe. Gradual Cut Urged

The sole way to prevent such a crisis, it is held, is gradually to bring the race to a stop. That can be done only by. international agreement, which in turn depends almost entirely on world appeasement. ; What Mussolini proposes is an international pact on arms programs. This would make it possible for armament factories in all countries

'to begin slowing down. Workers

could be gradually left out and reabsorbed by peacetime industries. Normal world trade would have time to respond .to the efforts of statesmen like Secretary Hull and absorb the increased output of peacetime goods. 2 The United States is being looked to for leadership in this effort. Mussolini is: convinced—and many Europeans agree with him—that President Roosevelt has before him one of the greatest of opportunities for world leadership, and that he would succeed if he took the initiative. Premiers Chamberlain, Daladier and Mussolini are paving the way. Poland is said to be willing to take part. Much, therefore, depends upon Germany. If she can be induced to co-operate, these five powers should be able to carry European security

to such a pcint that the limitation ||

of arms programs would become an immediate possibility.

FOREIGN TRADE PARLEY OPENS

Criticized at Meeting At French Lick.

FRENCH LICK, Ind., April 21 (U. P.).—The 16th annual two-day meeting of the Bankers’ Association for Foreign Trade opened. here today with an address by W. F. Gephart, Association president. Mr. Gephart, vice president of the St. Louis, Mo., First National Bank, declared that “nationally and inter-

nationally there is witnessed widespread efforts on the part of the state to control and direct the economic activities of its citizens. “This situation is nowhere more clearly illustrated than in the efforts years to suppress or direct international trade. “Technical progress, invention, and other manifestations of human endeavor continue to work as permanent factors and give character over long periods of time to the economic and ocial structure, rather than state®interference,” he said. >

BUN IS SEEN AS GLUE IN BOY'S

Weapon Found Buried in Mud Linked to Dillon Mystery Case.

The nearly four-year-old investigation into the slaying of Donald Dillon, 13, found shot to death on Sept. 11, 1934, was re-opened today with the discovery of a rifle, believed by police to be the death weapon. . : The boy’s body was washed up from a catch basin at Shelby St. and Pleasant Run two days after he had been reported missing from his home at 1871 Shelby St.

A bullet went entirely through the body. By the size of the wound police estimated the bullet was 22caliber, but the bullet never was found. Police said the boy had been the victim of a moron. Yesterday, Alex Stott, of 1134 E. Georgia St, WPA worker digging under the bridge at Shelby ans Minnesota. Sts, several hundred feet from where the body was found, came across a mud-covered 22caliber rifle. :A discharged shell was in the

make of rifle reported the home of young lieved to have

Hoosier Slices Car Paint Cost By Two-Thirds

DALLAS, Tex., April 21 (U.P.).— An era of bright new colors for automobiles, furniture and women’s shoes was predicted today by Herbert IL. Wampner, research chemist of Terre Haute, Ind. : Wampner described a revolutionary process of preparing lacquer at the final session of the 95th meeting of the: American Chemical Society. . “The cost of applying a lacquer

finish tc an automobile will be cut

by one-third,” the chemist said. “The driver who tires of a wine colored car can have it changed into a spotty cream at an almost negligible cost

“The housewife who likes to dabble with paints and give her furniture a gay tone will find a good grade of lacquer on the market at a low price.” The new lacquer is cheaper, easier and quicker to apply, more durable, and retains its luster longer, Wampner said. ; The new process was developed by Wampner and Charles D. Bogin, chemists at the Commercial Solvents Corp. at Terre Haute. -

ACTRESS EXPLAINS ‘RULES FOR SUCCESS

NEW YORK, April 21 (U. P.).— Elizabeth Patterson, screen charac-

ter actress doesn’t worry about life

after 40. “If a woman, one who is an actress of course, can bridge the dangerous period, -age proves no barrier to her success or diminisher of her earning capacity,” said Miss Patterson while here on a brief vacation after finishing “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife.” It was the fifth feature in which she has worked in almost as many months. By ‘“‘dangerous period” Miss Patterson explained she means the 10 years between an actress’ 35th year and her 45th birthday. “That is the trying time when a player, especially a woman, finds herself
