Dlno Grand! and the rest of the commissioners by the calm Statement that their "capitalistic" governments were ruining themselves and the rest of the world by selling goods dear at home and cheap abroad In other words, by dumping. And he then with equal calmness denied tin t ly that the Soviet government had been guilty of this pernicious practice, though generally accused of It. Jtussla, lie asserted, had done Just a little friendly exporting. "It is perfectly obvious that low prices cannot lie regarded ns Indi cating dumping,' he declared. "If however, by dumping is understood a policy of high monopolist prices In the home markets and cut prices for export. It will be found pre cisely that it is the capitalistic countries which are guilty lu this respect." The Soviets, continued the com missar, are eager to help in bringing to an end the present economic depression, and on their behalf be offered two suggestions for the consideration of the commission. The first of these was that the Eu ropean powers adopt a convention pledging themselves to compulsory sale In the home ninrkets at prices no higher than on foreign markets. The Soviets, Litvinov said, would sign such a convention. He asserted that It would raise the buy ing power of the masses and help them absorb overproduction. His second proposal was this: In order to remove the atmosphere of mistrust and Jealousy that has been aggravating the crisis, all nations should sign a pact of "economic along the same lines as the Kellogg pact out lawing war. The draft of a protocol of such a pact was submitted to the delegates. It called for a Ecnernl customs truce, among othJ er things. In the first sessions of the commission the question of the procustoms posed was brought up, and the pact was vigorously and skillfully defended by Dr. Julius Curtius, German foreign minister, and Johann Schober, Austrian vice chancellor. The British and French insisted that the accord should be submitted to the World court for nn opinion as to whether It violated the post-wa- r treaties, and the council of the League of Nations ordered this done. The council has selected Arthur Henderson as cliairmnn of the 1932 disarmament conferuc-cor-d Austro-Germn- ence. of late ninth TnERE hasasbeen to whether conditions In the United States justified a general cut in wages, and what the effect of such a move would be. Secretary of Labor Doak took a hand In the debate with a statement to the effect that any move on the part of industry to lower wages would be considered a violation of confidence by the administration because of the agreement to maintain wage scales which President Hoover obtained from the industrial leaders late In 1929. In the event of wage reductions, lie declared, organized labor would be Justified in demanding higher pay and In opposing the move by strikes. Mr. Doak added that so far as he knew, no leader of industry has proposed a reduction In wages. Such suggestions, he said, have come from bankers, and are based on the opinion that workers' pay should be lowered to conform to the low price levels which have resulted from the depression. He attributed the Current controversies between workers and employers to the expiration of agreements, and added that In nearly every case the difllcultles have been amicably settled. Six Impending strikes, which were brought to the attention of the Labor department the previous week, were averted by the department's conciliation service, and In every case a return to the existing wage scaie was effected.

The plans set forth include extension of mechanization and motorization throughout the army, the reGeneral MacArthur vamping of the cavalry arm by the substitution of lighting machines for horses, and the development of powerful tank forces to be attached to army corps or field armies, rather than the Infantry, which remains the basic arm. Some cavalry units with horses ns mounts will be retuinetl for use in rough country, but in general the horse as a war weapon is discarded. The mechanized force nt Fort Eustis will be reorganized a reinforced cavalry regiment. Combat cars, equipped with machine guns and possibly heavier weapons, which can travel 70 miles nn hour on hard roads, are counted on to give the cavalry high mobility. Despite the more extensive use of machines, the infantry will remain the backbone of the army according to General MacArtliur's program. In his opinion the Infantry's ability and power to fulfill its mission of closing with the enemy make it "the decisive arm."
