stricken farmers, and then appeal
ed to “employers, large and
small” to use the help of the fed
eral and state employment ser
vices “whenever in the general
pickup of business, they require
more workers.”
He announced that the em
ployment service would receive j
I two and a half million dollars
j "to make an even more intensive!
search than it has yet been eq-;
uipped to make, for fine oppor
tunities in private employment for
employees registered with it.”
i The president said that re-em
ployment by industry was increas
ing rapidly, adding that the gov
ernment, in a large part, was re
sponsible for keeping industry'
going and putting it in a position
to make re-employment possible.

Navy May Use
16-Inch Rifles
New Warships
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 7,1
—Indications that 16-inch guns !
would be used on any new battle
ships constructed by the United
States were given by Admiral
William H. Standely, acting sec
retary of the navy.
Asked at his press conference
whether Japan’s reported refus-;
al to adhere to the 1936 London!
naval treaty meant that the Un
ited States would employ 16-in-'
ch guns in place of the 14-inch
guns used, Standley replied
"That will all depend on de-;
:isions to be made when designs 1
not yet finally completed, are fin
ished.”
Standley added the United Stat
bs had felt generally that “16
nch guns were more advantag
es for our uses than the 14
nch size.”
The London naval treaty speci
ied a 14-inch limit but allowed
signatories to exceed the limit in
■he event other powers did so.
