Praises Work of Congress as Peculiarly Significant for Tennessee By JOHN ERWIN (Washington Correspondent of The Tennessean Papers) WASHINGTON, June up the work of Congress, Senator McKellar declared that it has "done the most remarkable work of Congress perhaps that ever. sat here." In addition to legislation, Senator McKellar referred specifically to benefits that. will come to Tennessee, particularly the expenditure of millions for Cove Creek dam and Muscle Shoals. He points but that the state will receive about eight and a half millions of dollars for highway work which it does not have to match.

The senior senator paid tribute to the work of the Tennessee dele: cation in Congress, Including his colleague. Senator Bachman. He declared that Tennessee "has been peculiarly fortunate" and that the Tennessee Valley, authority measure is perhaps the most important measure that was ever passed the interest of Tennessee and the Tennessee Valley." His statement follows: "The Congress just closed has done the most remarkable work of any Congress perhaps that ever sat here. When we were called together the banks had all been closed. Business was at a standstill, trade and commerce had almost stopped, and the country well nigh hopeless.

Many Notable Measures. the leadership of Fresident Roosevelt, many notable measures have been passed. measure providing for the opening of the banks. The measure providing tor balancing of the budget. or the economy measure.

EMPLOYMENT, BUSINESS INCREASE HERE IN MAY Nashville manufacturing plants Increased employment 4.02 per cent in May over the previous month.

In the 100 industrial plants sendIng monthly employment reports to the Chamber of Commerce, 580 workers added to the payrolls In. May.

Normally May shows a slight seasonal decrease and this year's Increase reflects an influx of new orders coming into Nashville manufacturing plants. the review points out. In May of this year 84 per cent of all workers in the 100 plants were on a full -time basis, while in May of last year there was but 41 per cent on full time. Industrial employment in these plants showed an improvement of 14. per cent in May of this year over the same month of last year.

Tennessee will get about eight and a half millions of dollars from this appropriation alone, and the state does not have to match the money. But the roads will be built under the state authorities with the supervision of the director of roads just as usual. "TInder the reforestation measure 4 great number of camps have been established in Tennessee, and some four or five millions of dollars will be spent in that behalf.

"Just how much money will be loaned by the government on the farms in Tennessee and on the homes in Tennessee cannot yet be estimated, but these two measures ought to bring a very greatly needed relief to our people. "With the expenditures of these sums in our state, for which the Tennessee delegation has ingly and untiringly worked, there ought to be better times in Tennessee. I fervently hope so. The Tennessee delegation in the Congress has been busy, in season and out of season, and in making this early report to the people of Tennessee, all I can say all of our congressmen, senator: man and have done everything within our power to restore better financial and economic conditions to Tennessee."

LEBECK'S GREATER BASEMENT STORE Mentioning Debts, MacDonald Lifted Mask of Harmony BYRON DARNTON (Associated Press Cable Editor) NEW YORK, June (P) Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald stirred up a fine 1 hornets' nest when he mentioned the war debts in the opening session of the world economic conference. Straightaway the world statesmen were in the midst of their first crisis. There even was talkjocular, to be sure, bat still talk -of the Americans catching a ship home. Consider the events leading up to the conference and this seemsstrange.

For there was no reason why anyone should have been surprised at the introduction of the debt question, despite the fact that it was officially forbidden. Take a homely parallel: It used to be the style in the United States for politicians to assert, before each national political convention, that the subject of prohibition was not to he an issue, that it cut across both parties and was outside the realm of politics. Yet each convention saw a lively prohibition fight. Approximately the same thing happened in regard to the debts when politicians from all over the world gathered at London. MacDonald Has Precedent.

Mr. MacDonald. introducer of the subject forbidden, can point to precedent for his debt declaration, for virtually the same thing was said by the very experts who drew up the program for the world economic conference. And there were two Americans on that committee of experts. Mr.

MacDonald, referring to the debts as a subject "in the front rank of importance," remarked, cannot be dealt with here because obviously this conference is not constituted in such a way as to enable it to consider and settle the matter." He. went on: "Lausanne has to be completed, and this vexed question settled once for all in the light of present world conditions." The prime minister virtually repeated what the preparatory commission of experts had said (in A report, incidentally, which was reprinted by the United States department of commerce). The experts held this: "In the movement towards economic reconciliation, the armistice was signed at Lausanne; the London conference must draft the treaty of peace." At Lausanne German reparations were reduced approximately ninety per on the condition that the United States would be similarly lenient with the recipients of these reparations who owed us war debts. Must Settle Question. "The progress of reconstruction which we deem it necessary for governments undertake is set out beldw." the experts said.

"In this program. the problem of inter-governmental indebtedness has not been included, because it lies outside our terms of reference. In our opinion. however, it 1s essential that this question be settled and that the settlement shall relieve the world of further anxiety concerning the disturbing effects of such payments upon financial, economic and currency Until there is such a settlement, or the definite of such a settlement, these debts will remain an insuperable barrier to economic and financial reconstruction. We therefore attach the greatest importance to the early resumption and successful conclusion on of negotiations upon this problem." Round -about, the experts charged with the prepartion of the program of the conference brought in the debts.

Round -about, Mr. MacDonald did the same, admitting that the conference itself could do nothing. So much for the background of the controversy which rocked the conference in the early part of its first week. At this writing the fought-about question is currency stabilization. Can it be effected? The answer will tell whether the conference will be a success or a failure.

For there is no doubt that agreements expressed in general terms concerning tariff walls and quotas will mean nothing at all unless each nation may feel secure in the knowledge that no other nation will be able to beat down protective trade barriers by the expedient of making a pound the equivalent of ten shillings or the dollar the equivalent of fifty cents. It still is too early to predict what the London gathering will do. But the Americans are not the only participants who terpret. the start optimistically, EXCURSION TO FAIR More than 100 students enrolled at George Peabody College for Teachers this summer have, signed up for the first excursion which Dr. A.

Over 100 Speakers To Battle Repeal In State Campaign The campaign of the United Procation of the amendhibition torces against the ratifiment and repeal of the Eighteenth amendment will be carried into every county in the state during the next four weeks as the United Prohibition Forces continue their drive to keep Tennessee in the dry column of states.

it was stated at local headquarters yesterday. More than 100 speakers have volunteered their services to the United Prohibition Forces and engagements are now being arranged for them. The bombardment against the wets will continue until the referendum election on July 20, it was announced by Dr. John F. Baggett, state chairman of the combined dry organizations.

Dr. Baggett returned yesterday from a tour of the First and Sec. ond congressional districts where he -delivered 25 addresses and conferred with the various district and county chairmen. "The overwhelming sentiment in favor of retaining the Eighteenth amendment in praetically all of these counties was most encouraging." he stated. I felt that the counties in.

these districts. with few exceptions, would vote against ratification of the Twenty-first amendment. I was surprised at the lack of support for the cause of the wets in many sections. Those who espouse the cause of liquor are counting on Nashville. Chattanooga, and Knoxville joining Memphis in rolling up big wet majorities but they are doomed to disappointment.

The drys are well organized in these cities and if the wets receive a majority it will be so slight that their defeat will be a certainty as the rural communities are still dry as they have been for decades Locally, the campaign of the United Prohibition Forces will center around the combined effort of ward leaders to form precinct organizations through the city. A series of meetings will be held early this week when an effort will' be made to perfect permanent organizations in each precinct of Nashville. Dr. William F. Powell, pastor of the First Baptist will preach on the subject, "The Serpent in the Cup." at 7:30 o'clock tonight.

The sermon will be broadcast over station WLAC. Y. W. C. A.
