U.S. May Buy Steel For Warships In Britain
New York, Mar. 1.
Britain may get orders for some of the steel required for America's two new £10,000,000 battleships, unless a conference at Washington to-morrow finds a loophole in the Walsh-Healey Act. -
The Walsh-Healey Act was passed to protect workers and give them some of the benfits of the outlaw N.R.A.
The Act said that any company supplying goods on Governinerit orders must establish a forty-hour week, abolish child labour, phy wage determined by the Secretory of Labour, now Miss Frances Por king.
"At present the Act is defeating its own object,
The steel companies cannot see the advantage of changing their forty-eight hour week schedule merely for navy busluess, which represents only one per cent, of their total output.
Therefore they are not bidding for the present advertised contracts.
NO EXEMPTION
Miss Frances Perkins will not grant the steel firms exemption from the provisions of the Walsh-Healey Acl, and Labour leaders will not agree to any such exemption
In the meantime, even the keels of
ships cannot be Inld.

The Navy Departmeni is hesitant to play its trump card, which would
be declare that "an

emergency exists." They would then abandon In the the building of battleships navy yards and build In private yards, buying the sleel in Britain, Germany or Sweden.
Government and Labour officials ineet In Washington lo-morrow to try to find a way out of the situation.

DR. HINSLEY, Catholic Love-Call of the steel.
Archbishop of West- minster, commenting in his pastoral letter for Lent on the recent encyclical of the Pope on marriage and the family, says:
"The question is vital, for if the family is sound, the com munity is sound, while if the family is corrupt, you may despair of the nation.
"The family, indeed, is a 'society' on which all society rests a society sanctioned and blessed by God in a thousand ways, a society which should be the strongest, the sweetest and holiest upon earth.
