FEAR OF WAR
ALMOST A PANIC OUTSPOKEN REPORT^ LONDON. May 23. (Received May 24. at 8 p.m.) The annual report of the International Labour Office, one of the most outspoken ever issued, points out remarkable increases in the output of pig iron and steel and refers to the activity in the chemical, automobile, and conl industries in Germany. Japan, Italy, Britain, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere due to rearmament. It is therefore sinister that many countries have cut down the imports of materials required for their normal economic activity. Unemployment has not decreased in France, Holland, or Switzerland, and even in Britain and America it exceeds the predepression level. International trade is still perilously restricted. The greatest obstacle to the restoration of confidence now is not economic, but politienl. The fear of war has become almost a panic. The report urges a new economic conference.
