Detroit Is Planning
To Have US Miles
OF Street Car Lines

DETROIT, April 7.-Mayor James
Cousens started work today to give
Detroit the greatest mileage of
municipal owned street car lines OF
any city in the country.
BY next fall there will be not less
than 125 miles in operation, he an
nounced today. No sooner had re-
turns from Mondays election def
nitely decided than Detroit again
had approved of the policy Of con-
struction adopted in April, 1920,
when it voted s15.000,000 bond is
sue to build new lines and acquire
tracks, than Mayor Cousens began
outlining his plans.
Steam shovels were put to work
on several streets this morning pre-
paratory to laying additional tracks.
I'VE are not going to make prom
ises, we are going to work" the
mayor said today.
It Is planned to lay 50 miles of
tracks this year. This Is In addl-
ton to the eighteen miles completed
last year and the twenty-five miles
which will be taken over from the
D. U. r. as a result of the victory
Monday which will give Detroit a
minimum of 125 miles by Christmas"
Detroit will pay the D. U. r. not
more than $4,000 a miles for Its
lines, according to Mayor Cousens.
This will be equivalent to what they
cost the D. y. r. to build, less de-
probation. If the company and city
cannot agree on price. a board OF
arbitration will he appointed.

Outlook on Farms for
This Year Exceedingly
Br1ght, Reports Sh0y
BY RALPH BARTON
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal

Copyright, 1917
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Despite
the fact that congress when it as
sembles next Monday will turn it's
attention very soon to the relief of
the farmer, who is said at the mo-
ment to be In a serious plight, the
outlook on the farms for this year
Is exceedingly bright, if reports to
the government departments are to
be trusted.
Ever since the world war, and in
this instance the date should run
back, to 1914. the farmer has had diff
ficulty in getting labor. Munitions
labor from the rural districts to the
factories long before the United
States entered the conflict, and the
scarcity of farm help began. 1t has
continued up to the present. Now
come reports from all over the coun-
last year of applicants for farm
work, there is this season, an excess
Of such applicants. Farm wages are
from 20 to so per cent lower than
last spring in the great farming dis
tricts Of the middle west.
One of the most encouraging signs
to the farmer who has had to get
along with any sort Of labor that
offered itself, is the fact that this
year an increase in the number of
experienced farm workers is noted.
Farm conditions are so improved
that in New York state a very de-
cided "back- to-the-farm" movement is
reported, and it is expected that q
large number Of deserted farm lands
again will be cultivated. From New
Jersey it is reported that activity
in the agricultural sections is usual
with the farmers picking their help
with considerable care. In New Eng
land the general outlook for farm
labor supply in various special crop
areas is exceptionally bright, ad-
vices Indicating an abundance Of ca
pable farm help at reasonable wages.
In the northwest unemployment in
the cities has started a back-to-the-
farm movement and the planting sea-
son has started with plenty of will
ing help. In the South Atlantic
states there is every Indication of
an abundance Of farm labor.
In the Rocky mountain states in
creased farm operations are report
ed, with plenty of labor available
from decreased industrial activity in
some of the cities. The Pacific Coast
states report that farm help will be
plentiful. The farmers and fruit
ranchers of the Pacific are more
concerned with the high freight rates
than anything else and if expected

Money in Circulation
Would Give Every
One IN u. s. $500

WASHINGTON, April You
should be 80 cents richer than you
were q year ago.
And If you have your fair share
of circulating bills and coin you have
$3.50.
All this is on authority OF the
treasury department, which today an
nounced:
That money in circulation in the
United States is $685. 00,689,. COM
pared with $500 2O,472 year ago;
that this would give each of 107, $685.
600 persons $500 on April 1, this
year, whiie last year each person
would have had $500.
The general stock of money in the
United States is much larger than
the amount in circulation because
some is held in reserve by the gov
eminent and banks. The total gen.
eral stock on April /, $8,082,773, 1855,
Of which $4,000, 487,915, was gold coin
and bullion, held in the treasury. This
item has increased in the last year
from $2,662,284,553. Gold coin in cir
culation, however, on April 1 totaled
$685. 72,082, and gold certificates,
$41S,615,479.

EMPLOYMENT ON
FARMS IS REPORTED
To BE INCREASING

WASHINGTON, April I'm spite
of renewed reactivity in automobile
plants, and a resumption Of opera
tons in three or four other indus
tries, industrial unemployment in
the United States continued to in
crease during March, according to
labor department statistics. From
all sections. however, increased en-
ployment on farms was indicated in
the verbal returns made by federal
agents, though the actual number
Of men so engaged was not suscepti-
BILE of statistical presentation.
The department found that 1,424
industrial establishments in the
United States ordinarily employing
more than 500 men each, had on
March 81, 1,5S7,7S6 workers on pay
rolls against 1.612.61 employed on
February 2S. a net decrease Of a.,
SIS, or 1.5 per cent. The March
number was 4O,s0S, or 2.5 per cent
less than the total January 81.
BY far the largest proportion of
the unemployment increase during
the month was due to cessation in
steel and iron operations, though
other metal, teXtils and food manu-
IS cities and industrial centers from
which reports came, A showed In
creased unemployment, while de-
crease was found in 81.
Labor conditions were reported
improved in Tennessee. There was
still, however, an unemployment of
about 90 per cent in textile mills,
which was being reduced daily.
In Alabama an increase in unem-
ployment was noted owing chiefly,
the report said, to inactivitles of
the iron and steel industry. Present
indications, the report said, point
to an early resumption Of operations
in this industry.
Mississippi reported apparently no
immediate chance for improvement
in the lumber industry, which now
requires only an average Of 20 per
cent of normal.
In Georgia, the report said, there
was every indication Of an abundance
of farm labor.
Unusually good weather condi-
tons have promoted farm work con-
siderably throughout Virginia, the
report said. No uneasiness was re-
ported among farmers in regard to
the supply Of labor, which promised
to be abundant.
Cotton planters in both North
Carolina and South Carolina report
ed labor plentiful at reduced wages.
The melon and peach season at
hand in central Florida will give
employment to hundreds of orange
and grapefruit pickers and packers
for two months after the closing
Of the citrus packing houses, the
report said, and farmers will use
about all the common labor avail
able

1.-THE consent Of the United States
as you know, has never been given
on either point as to the Island of
Yap.'
Cause Of Regret
apart from the expressed purpose
Of President Wilson in relation to
proceedings Of the supreme council
Vn May Z, 1919, did not, and in the
nature of things could not have
finality. Thsi government is unable
to perceive any ground for the con
tention that it was the duty Of this
government to make immediate pro-
test with respect to the so-called de-
cision of May 7, 1919, and certainly
it cannot be said that an omission
to do so operated as cession of its
rights. 1t may be added, however,
that when the matter was brought
to the attention Of this government
in connection with the conference on
communications in October last, this
government informed the government
of Japan and other governments (by
notes Of November 8, 1920, that 1t
was the understanding Of this gov
eminent that the Island Of zap was
not included in the action Of May
Z, 1919. It's position was subse
quently stated at length
ct is a cause of regret to this
government, that after and despite
this protest, there should have been
mandates purporting to deal with the
Pacific islands. including zap, and
that mandate should have been APP
proved or attempted to be put in eff
feet, which, while purporting to be
made in the name of the United
the United States. This government
trusts that this action. which it must
assume was taken under a misap-
prehension, will be reconsidered.
I'm particular, as not really has
ever been concluded with the United
States relating to the Island of zap,
and as no one has ever been author
or interest of the United States in
the island, this government must in
sst that it has not lost it's right or
interest as it existed prior to any
action of the supreme council or Of
the League of Nations, and cannot
recognize the ALLEGATION of the island
or the validity of the mandate to
Japan.
I'm this view. this government
deems it to be unnecessary at this
time to consider the terms of tho
so-called &C. mandates, or the dis
cussion with respect thereto.
This government. as has been
clearly stated in previous communi-
cation seeks no exclusive interest in
the Island of zap, and has no desire
to secure any privileges without hav-
ing similar privileges according to
other powers, including, of course,
Japan, and relying upon the sense
of justice of the government Of ia
pan and Of the governments of the
other allied and associated powers,
this government looks with conf
dence to a disposition of the matter
whereby the just interests Of all may
be properly conserved"
