SAYS BUILDING RAPIDLY
APPROACHES NORMAL

Building and construction work is
rapidly approa ching the normal for this
season of the year. figuring on the basis
! of the money value of contracts let dur
ing last month, according to the United
States Department of Labor.
| A statement of the department shows
a compa rison of the February figures
with those of pre-war years. 1t is as
follows:
| For some months previous to Novem-
Der, 1918, the total money value of build
ing and engineering contracts awarded
was about the same as for the CORE
spending months of the two previous
+, years and larger than for the same
months in the years 1914 and 1915.
Reducing the money values for the
years 1914 to 1917 to present costs, the
1918 amounts were about equal to the
average for the previous four years. 1t
must be remembered. however, that
ohe-third of the contracts awarded dur
| ing the year 1918 were for government
| work
Expressed in million dollars, the
money cost of construction in November
tor the years 1914 to 1918 was as follows
1914, 40; 1915. sS; 1916, 122: 1917, "a;
1913. $50. Reducing these figures to the
basis of 1918 prices, and expressing in
the nearest millions, they appear as fol-
lows 1914. IS; 1915, 1876; 1916, 1863: 1917,
los; average for four years, 120. Since
the amount for 1918 was 130 million dol
lars. it is evident that. with government
work included undoubtedly to quite an
extent. it was about the normal amount
in December the hesitation following
the signing of the armistice and the ex-
pectation of falling prices began to be
felt The actual figures for December
for the years under consideration were
1914, AZ tmillion): 1915, SO; 1916, 113:
1917, 81: 1918. 81. Reduced to 1918 prices.
the four preceding years appear as fol-
lows: 1914. 63: 1915. 127; 1916, 81; 1917,
lgo. average for four years, 113 million.
The amount for 1918 was 81 million, or
so per cent Of this average
The January figures of the actual
1917. 81; 1918, 1872. Reduced to the basis
of 1913, or present prices. these appear
to be: 1915, 66: 1916, s7h, 1917, 105;
1918, 152; average for the four years. 1O3
The amount for January, 1919, was 81
million dollars. still about so per cent of
the average.
The actual money values of contracts
awarded during the month of February
were: 1915, 40; 1916, 66: 1917, 95: 1918,
141 Reduced to the 1918, or present
basis. OF prices these are as follows:
1915, 7s; 1915. 92; 1917, 10; 1918. 147;
amount for February. 1919, was 95 mil
lion dollars. it appears that this was 80
per cent Of the average for the four pre-
ceding years.
'If we include 1913 and 1914, with
actual amounts Of 70 millions and 80
| millions, respectively (103 and SO when
reduced to basis of present prices), the
average for six years becomes 80 mil
lions and the past February is about 81
per cent of this average"

PAYS Tribute to Society.

In his introduction Mr.. Mather pa id
Ia tribute to the 100000 members of
the National Geographic Society for

tional park system, declaring that
many times the influence of the So
ciety has been most potent factor in
saving the country's beauty spots.
and that through its publications. lee
lures and bulletins the society had
performed valuable educa tional
service in relation to the movement
for these national play places.
Il am happy to say that your direc-
tor. Gilbert GroSvenor. has pledged its
support to the movement to set aside
the Roosevelt Memorial Park in Cali
fornia, and that project deserves your
sympathy not only for the sentiment

Treaties Anticipated.

Lmberg as a province was separated
from Belgium and given to Holland
by the treaty of 1899. The treaties by
which Belgium was separated consist
of agreements between the great
powers and Holland, the great powers
and Belgium and between Belgium
and Holland themselves. In the light
of the international doctrines of to-
day, as advanced by President Wilson,
these treaties violate modern cove
EantS.
1t was at this time that France was
assuming a threatening attitude to-
and the frontiers were drawn with
the view to preventing aggressive in
tervention by Belgium's southern
neighbor. Through connections Of the
Dutch royal family with those of other
of the great powers it is admitted,
even in Holland, that the Dutch were
able to gain concessions particularly
advantageous to Holland and against
the interests of Belgium. In discuss
ing the situation left by the treaty of
1889 one Belgian official declared:
Belgium was provided with a suit
of clothes full OF holes and too short
for the wearer. and to cover these
lamentable deficiencies was given an
overcoat which rejoiced in the name

useless. 1t is now necessary for the

commerce over it's route is further

The Belgians are declaring that if
the peace conference should grant
their claims in this particular district
the conference also could make GER
tain territorial compensations to Hol-
lane in the EleVeS and Emden dlS-
trictS of Germany. Among oncla Is
in Paris, however. it is felt that
should Holland. Belgium and the al
lies reach no agreement as to terri
torial recompenSe for Holland some
system might be devised whereby
Holland would be paid for territories
taken in behalf of Belgium. Belgium
IN view of her extremely trying con
ditions could not be expected to make
financial settlement at once and as a
consequence some system may be de-
vised whereby the allies can ADJUST
the situation as one token OF their
great admiration and thankfulness
for Belgiun's great part during the
period of the war.
Holland is not at all keen about
giving up that territory which con-
fiicts with Belgian interests and in
fact has openly threatened military
resistance. NJ Van Beusau, Dutch
minister of war, but recently said in
the second chamber:
Measures have been taken with a
view to the smooth carrying out of
a second mobilization. Partial de-
mobilization does not mean that we
shall have to allow Limburg and
Dutch Flanders to be taken from us
like fleece from a sheep. We can in
Look for Friendly Settlement.
It is expected. however, that an
amicable adjustment of the whole
problem will be reached and Dutch
threats are considered merely diplo-
matte thunder to bring about a more
conciliatory attitude on the part of
those who are in sympathy with sep.
arating certain regions from Holland
in the interests of Belgium.
The Belgians would like to have
control over certain sections of Lux
emburg, if not the whole of it, purely
on economic and not imperialistlc
grounds. but this is a question that
still is under debate in Paris. 1t has
not been fully decided whether Lux
emburg shall remain as it is or be di-
vided or go as q whole either 10
France or Belgium. There is general
feeling that the duchy will remain as
present constituted. Feeling in Lux
emburg itself is considerably divided.
The peasant classes favor alleg1ance
to Belgium. The upper classes lean
toward Paris. Sti1l another class ad-
vocates retention of the present
forms.
But Belgium is not insisting
strongly on any point in the CLAIMS
she has presented. She merely has
shown her economic dependence up
on full control of the Scheldt and the
highly important system of canals TO
the north now partially controlled
by Holland and the recovery of ter
ritories to the east If the peace
conference denies Belgium the major
portion of her claims Belgium Will
he disappointed. but is certain to
conduct herself in the same dignified
manner that has marked the pres
entation of her desires.
But if Belgium is granted her de-
sires the allies will have taken a
long step toward insuring wonderful
prosperity for Belgium in the future,
a prosperity which Will not be men
aced by outside influences with the
tenets of the league of nations IN

Asks to Control the Scheldt.

The other question which SO vitally
affects Belgium is control Of the river
Scheldt. Antwerp is probably the
greatest single port in Europe. Bill
lions of dollars are invested in it's
physical properties. 1t is the feeder
for Belgium and a great portion of
central Europe. The prosperity Of
Belgium is bound up with the pros
perity of Antwerp. And the prosper-
ity of Antwerp is dependent upon the
business done by this great water
outlet Stricken as she is for the mo-
ment Belgium naturally is looking
! forward to the day of complete re-
juvenation and looks to Antwerp to
play an important role.
Under present circumstances the
Dutch control the left bank of the
Scheldt- The Belgians are not de-
manding that this strip of Dutch ter
ritory be handed over 10 Belgium out
right but if the peace conference in
some way decides that the Scheldt can
be considered Belgian river this will
answer the purpose OF giving Belgium
elbow room in maritime operations
along the Scheldt and contribute i'm
mensely to the prosperity not only of
Belgium. but the whole of central Eu-
rope. Economic surety forever would
be guaranteed to Belgium should
complete control of the Scheldt be
granted TO her.
