PLANS COMMERCE
DEPT. EXPANSION

Extensive plans for expansion of
the Department Of Commerce to meet
demands OF postwar foreign trade
promotion are outlined In the annual
report OF the Department Of Com
merce, sent to Congress by Secretary
Redfieid today.
New commercial attaches, travelling
and resident trade commissioners.
and statistical experts galore are
needed, Redneld says, IL the interests
of the United States are to be prop
erly looked after in foreign coun-
tries. In asking for an appropriation
greater by $4,000 900 than the appro-
priation this year. the Commerce Sec
retary declares sit Is regrettable the
work OF the department Is not per-
mitted to expand as rapidly as the
nations interests require because OF a
lack Of funds"
Congress 10 asked also to consider
increases in pay for the commercial
representatives. abroad.
The report reveals interesting data
on the part which the Department OF
Commerce played in the war. II ex-
plains that although the department
is not a war agency, every UaT-mak-
ing department of the Government,
together with the temporary boards,
commissions and committees serving
during war time. had used the de-
partment's facilities in almost every
operation undertaken.

No part of the funds for the public

the pending District appropriation
bill. will be Expended for teaching
German.
This IL the decision OF the House,
which still has the District bill under
consideration.
In passing on the provisions in the
bill relating 20 the public schools. the
House took the position none OF the
money carried in the measure should
be available for teaching the German
language. This action 10 Identical
with the action taken when the ap-
preparation act now in force was
passed.
May Iaerease Teacher Pay.
Congressman Madden OF Illinois
strongly urged higher salaries for
teachers in the public schools.
Congressman Sisson said the House
Appropriations Committee had sus-
pended consideration OF salary in
',reases until the Treasury could pre-
pare estimates. He said word had
been passed to the committee by off,
cials to do this. The teachers, he as
serted. would lose none of their rights
by failure to increase their salaries in
the bill now before the House.

Mr.. Madden. pays its school teachers
such a niggardly sum as the District
of Columbia. ranging in some in
stances from $500 20 $3.50 4 year. We
ought not to sta = anyone as q teacher
on less than $1,000 year. We ought
TO encourage the teachers In the hope
that they could live In a decent way.
Their Future Hopeless.
"As IL is, the teachers have q hope
less future. They spend long years in
preparation for their work, they re-
ceive starvation wages, and when
they break down from overwork, as
many of them do prematuTely, they
are cast adrift without a pension"
On a point of order raised by Mr..
Madden the provision was cut out OF
the bill allowing the Board OF Educa-
tion, on recommendation Of the
superintendent, to withhold the
longevity increase because OF an un-
satisfactory efficiency rating.
Appointments to vacancies in the
Board OF Education will be made by
the District Commissioner instead of

to q provision which the House
adopted. II was recommended by the
