Harold L. Ickes announced. Of
this number at least 1,500,000 had

October, when the last estimate of
total unemployment was made by
the American Federation of Labor.

regular Industry registered no great changes ln November, lt appeared tha tthe P.W.A. progress had cut the list of jobless to Its lowest point in months.
Figure May Be Lower The public works estimate Included 1.183,267 jobs provided by the civil works administration up to Nov. 25. Officials estimate that this numbers probably has reached 2.000,000 now, so that Uie actual employment figure today may be well below 8.000,000.
Ickes' statistics today came as a further answer to outspoken criUcs who contend that the *3,300,000. 000 public works program has failed to provide sufficient Jobs to justify Itself.
Program Slow This program originally was designed to give recovery Its first big boost, but unforeseen legal and other obstructions in getting vrork under way made lt one of the slowest of the administration programs. Up to Oct. 25. only 1,216,-500 men had been put to work with P.W.A. funds. On Nov. 25 the number has risen to 2,993,360 and now probably approximates 4,000,000.

Conference in Uruguay Prepares To Demand Non-Intervention
Cubans Plan To Submit i Resolution To Nullify Platt Article
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec 3. j
— (I'.PI — A concerted demand of I Latln-Amerlcan nations that the | United States agree to end her policy of Intervention, both mill- | tary and monetary, ln the affairs of her neighbors In the western hemisphere threatened tonight as the seventh Pan-American conference convened here to discuss peace and trade possibilities.
The United Press learned authoritatively that the Cuban delegation was preparing a resolution voicing an outspoken demand for an end to Washington’s traditional Insistence on the United States' dominance, lf not ruled out of order. may be seconded by numerous other Latln-Amerlcan countries.
Cuban Attitude The Cuban attitude Includes complete refutation of the Platt amendment to the Cuban constitution, making legal American Intervention ln the island republic lf and when the administration at Washington regards such a move as to the best Interests of peace and the welfare of the Cuban people.
The resolution follows closely the unofficial statement Issued yesterday by a labor member of the Haitian delegation, Antoine Pierre Paul, demanding an end to United States' extra-territorial privileges ln Latln-Amerlcan countries.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull, heading the United States delegation. remained reticent. Insisting he was here as an apostle of peace and President Roosevelt's "good neighbor policy" among all the Americas.
Policy Denounced The rising movement against United States interventionists privileges, however, threatened to wreck that gesture of friendship almost before lt was mhfle. The question of debts owed by Latin-American countries to the United States was also believed linked with the Cuban-Haltlan denunciations of American policy.
The formation, however, of a bloc of debtor nations to demand conversion of their loans at a lower rate of Interest—the aim of Informal Latln-Amerlcan conversations among delegates here *— ls meeting with considerable difficulty due chiefly to their Inability to agree on how common action should be carried out and what exact demands could be made on the United States at this Juncture.
Peace, both territorial and commercial, was the keynote of the seventh Pan-American parley as sounded by President Terra.
