INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE
AN OUTSPOKEN REPORT NEW ECONOMIC CONFERENCE URGED (United 'Press Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 24th May. The annual report of the International Labour Office, Geneva, one of the most outspoken ever issued, points out that remarkable increases in the output of pig iron, in steel activity and in the chemical, automobile and coal industries in Germany, Japan, Italy, Britain, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere, are due to rearmament. It is therefore sinister that many countries have cut down their imports of materials required for normal economic activity. Unemployment has not decreased in France, Holland and Switzerland, and even in Britain and America it exceeds the pre-depression level. International trade is still perilously restricted. The greatest obstacle to the restoration of confidence is now not economic, but political. The fear of war has become almost a panic. The report urges a new economic conference.
