NEW YORK, :May 18.~Adoption of
“new and emphatic" federal legisla-
tion severely penalizing attempts to
cripple the nation's industries was
urged today by President Stephen C.
Mason. of the National Association of
Manufacturers at the Silver Jubilee
convention of the organization.
"“On three, different occasions with-
in the past year.” he said. “the coun-
try has been treated to the spectacle
of a comparative niinority_ with bold-
ly announced selfish and nit-American
intreests, disregarding the paramount
public interest. attempting to throtle
the prosperity ol‘ the country. .It is
the vital issues in these conspiracies
against the. public welfare that. are
fundamental and demanding our seri—
ous and immediate attention.”
'Mr. Mason also said if, was impera»
the that the foreign credit situation
be permanently adjusted as soon as
possible. as ‘our prosperity is largely
dependent upon a strong demand
abroad for our goods."
The. convention tonight will formal-
ly act. upon the proposed platform for
American industry.
