Reports from Malaga say that a good
average yield of olive oil is looked for
in Spain this season, the production
being estimated at about 100000 tons.
The net stock OF olive oil available
for shipment from the two previous
crops IS calculated at 100000 tons. As
all available storage space is taxed
to the utmost, the problem OF fiPding

Settlement OF disputes OF the Old
World without giving attention to
controversies Of the Western Henri
sphere would be contrary to the spirit
OF the times. DIT. Francisco Tudela Y
Nsrela. Peruvian minister 10 the
United States, said this week in urg-
ing solution by the peace conference
OF the long-pendinE controversy be-
tween Peru and Chile as to possession
Of the provinces OF Tacna and africa.
Chile was charged by DR.. Tudela
with keeping ain subsection the Peru
Wan provinces of .Tacna and africa, as
well as a part of Tsrata,' with col
leCting excessive duties from the con-
quered territories, and with violation
OF the treaty OF Ancon through failure

Plumb opposed creation of a De-

Cabinet officer as proposed by rail-
way executives. That would be regu-
lating people in the interest of capt.
tai, he maintained, since il would be
enforcing a Governmental policy to
secure adequate return on capital in
vested in railroad enterprises.
Opposes FIve-Year Extension.
As to the five-years extension Of
Government control, proposed originally
by McAdoo. Plumb protested that this
would mean that railroad employees,
forbidden to take part in politics,
would be deprived of their civic
rights for five years more.
"If all OF the railroads within the
United States were owned by the
Government as one single system, all
of the difficulties now arising by
reason Of diverse ownership under
varying charters and under the laws
Of the different State jurisdictions
would, by that very fact, cease TO
