Philippines Take Up
Leper Treatment and
C~haulmoogra Cure
"lASSOEIATED PRESSl

MANILA, p. l., Dec. 6-The extern
sion of the ethyl-ester treatment to
all lepers in the Philippine Islands is
the chief problem engaging the at
tention of DR.. Victor G.. Heiser, chief
of the Far Eastern section of the
Rockefeller Foundation, who is MAX
ing an investigation of health condi-
tions in the archipelago for that or
ganiZation.
DIR. Heiser has ~endeavored to as
certain the exact quantity of chaul-
moogra oil in the Philippine Islands
anu is also looking into the POSSIBLE
ity of obtaining a sufficient supply to
treat all of the 5000 persons suffer
ing from leprosy on Culion Island,
where the lepers of the Philippine
group are confined.
General Leonard Wood, governor
general of the Philippines has made
up his mind that all of the lepers at
the colony shall receive the treat
ment, if it is possible" said DR.. Hell
ser. HE made this announcement in
u public address recently. l am look
ing up the available supply of oil for
this work, not only from the local
standpoint but from a worldwide

material for the oil can be found in
the Philippines, and if that should
piove to be the case, the islands will
have another important industry and
might even supply the world.
There are at present more than
LOCO, 600 lepers in the world, India
alone has more than 100000 and
Japan about $4,000. Some of the

large numbers. The treatment re-
quires about 80 liters of oil per 1000
patients a month, so that the posi-
bilities of tie chaulmoogra oil indus
try are apparent.
The oil is extracted from a nut
growing on the hydnocarpus tree, a
variety of which is found on the Is
and of Mindanao. We do not know,
however, whether the Philippine tree
yields the kind of oil that has the
proper medical properties for the
successful treatment of leprosy. That
will have to be determined by a
thorough analysis which only a high
class chemist can perform"
A shipment of some 700 pounds or
about 800 liters of chaulmoogra oil
left Calcutta for Manila a few days
Ago.. Cablegrams also have been sent
to various parts of the world in an
attempt to obtain a sufficient supply
for giving treatment to all the lepers
at Culion. Among the lepers confined
at Culion are five former American
soldiers. They have not been includ-
ed in the 300 or 400 hundred who are
receiving the chaulmoogra oil treat
ment, but with Thea meager pension
which one of the eX-soldiers draws
from the United States government,
. The five are able to buy a small
amount of medicine and has thus OBJ
tain in%freQuent treatment.

rise and the result is much unrest
among the poorer classes. Women
have been storming the public mar
kets, overturning stalls and in some
cases beating marketmen. They have
had public sympathy and the police
have been very mild in their attempts
to control these demonstrations.
In the height of the panic many
articles of food disappeared magical
ly from the shops to reappear at
greatly enhanced prices. Timed
milk for instance jumped from $50
rowns to 256 and this article IS a
air index of increased prices.
Tailors are demanding pay in
pound sterling and refusing rowns
jewelers. ask for Swiss francs, des-
pite the law forbidding business in
foreign monies.
The collapse of the currency was
~foreseen by financial experts but none
could suggest a means of %averting it
as long as the government is forced
to buy foreign money at any prices
in order to buy breadstuffs and coal.

Currency Collapse
Hits Austria Hard
PRESS

VIENNA, Nov. with the col
lapse in the exchange value of the
kronen, Austria is undergoing an
other economic and financial spasm.
Since July 16 the crown has dropped
from $50 to the American dollar to
about 5000. The 100 crown note,
whose pre-war value was $40 is now
about the minimum unit of daily use,
and 10000 crown notes cannot be
printed fast enough to meet the needs
of business.
Fol he last month month the row.
eminent presses have been printing
some 5000, 900 900 kronen a week to
meet current expenses. The issue
will have to be increased to meet the
demands of the great army of civil
servants for a living wage. Within
a month they have received increases
amounting to about 5000, 000, 900 kro-
men and already, with steadily fall
ing exchange and the equally steady
advance in living costs, they are form
ulating new demands.
The same is true of private bust
ness. In every class of industry and
wage earning employers are being
forced to raise pay while prices of
everything mount.
When the collapse of the currency
set in so feverishly a few weeks ago,
a swarm of alien buyers swept over
the country: They bought everything
they saw that had a value. Stores
were stripped of stocks until the ma.
iority of merchants began to retire
their goods or refuse to sell more
than ono article IN n auSfnnnnr
These foreign buyers were aided by
natives in the general desire to get
rid of Austrian money. The feeling
was that anything was better than
the crown.
The most serious feature of the
situation however, is the alarming in
crease in food prices. The increase
in wages has not been equal to this

Official estimates put the total of Ja-

OF which the excess OF imports over ex-
ports will reach about $175, 600, 900 for
Japan proper. exclusive OF $35. 900. 600
for Formosa and Corea. Another large
item, II was added, is the payment for
British and French bonds and other se-

shame that many people who are in

should be led astray by tboushtless
statements that the lines will be

impossibility for the city TO put suf-

opinion, cannot fail to recognize the va

The contrast between a retail trade In

VALUATION GROWS
Merchants and Manufacturers
of All Sections Send Pro-

Special Despatch to THs Npw Ycsx HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. O.. Dec. 0.
Apparently inspired by the Presidents
address to Congress last Tuesday. mem-
bers OF Congress were bombarded to-
day by letters and petitions from lead
ing merchants and manufacturers OF
all sections OF the country urging radi-
cal changes IN the section of the Ford
ney Tariff Bill, which deals with the
American valuation plan.
One of the largest department stores
in New York says that the American
valuation plan as 1t stands to-day would
increase prices, aggravate foreign ex-
change depreciation. and reduce for
eign buying to guesswork. Further
more, II will prevent the International
exchange of raw material and discrlmi-
mates against American farmers and
labor. We favor a liberal protective
tariff on foreign valuation, preferably
straight out tariff duties"
A large publisher voices his protest
to the American valuation plan In these
words.
I'VE believe that It would be disas-
trous in the extreme to put the Ameri-
can valuation plan as written in the
Fordney bill into effect.
"While the foreign countries would
surely be deprived of their only way OF
paying for our products on account or
the decreasing imports. the passage OF
this feature OF the tax bill would be
detrimental to the interests OF the Amer
! lean people at large, who will find no
European market for their goods. and
with wages coming down where would
| be the wisdom Of the American valua-
ton plan?''
Because OF the renewed agitation and
pronounced opposition TO the plan there
is q strong likelihood that Chairman
Penrose Of the Senate Finance Commit
tee will reopen hearings on that section
of the Fordney bill. A strong appeal
has just been made to have the hearings
reopened by the National Dry Goods
Retail Association. Spokesman for that
organization are anxious to add their
protest.

SHORT 10,7l2, 900, 900 LIRE.
Italian Treasury Statement Better
Than Expected.

ROME, Dec. (Associated Press) .--Ac-
cording to the Treasury's financial state
ment the deficit for the financial year of
1s2o-2l amounts to o,712,Ooo.o0o lire.
instead of to the estimated 1914 ,0Oo.-
600. This was due to the fact that
although expenditure increased, the
revenue yield amounted to 1901, 600, 900
lire, instead OF the estimated 1o,S06,0 ,000.-
600.
The estimated deficit for the year
1922 is approximately 100000, 90.
For the financial year 1929, which
will be the first budget from which direct
war expenditure will be almost COM
plete!y eliminated. 1t Is hoped that the
deficit will be reduced to 100000, 600
lire.
The Minister of the Treasury gave
figures showing the measures taken to
reduce the paper money In circulation.
Dealing with the trade balance. he an
nounced that in the first eight months OF
the current year imports amounted TO
the value OF 9.79T. 100000 lire and ex-
ports to 4.s72, 900, 900. which constituted
a remarkable improvement as compared
with last year.
