COTTRELL QUITS
AS MINES CHIEF
FOR new POSITION
Goes to National Re-
search Council-Recom-
mends I'll. F. Balm.

DR.. F. @. Cottrell. director of the
United States Bureau of Mines, yes
terday handed his resignation to the
President, through Secretary Of the
Interior Payne.
He leaves the bureau to take up
his duties as chairman of the Di-
vision Of Chemistry and Chemical
Technology of the National Re-
search Council.
DR.. Cottreu recommends as his
successor H. Foster Balm, OF Cali
fornia, whose name was formally
presented to the President yester-
day by the Secretary OF the lnte-
rior.
Balm was educated and trained as
a geologist and mining engineer
and was one Of Herbert Hoovers s
assistants in London on the Bel
gian relief work during the war.
He has written for and edited min
ing and scientific publications and
has made important mining inves-
LEGATIONS in this country, in China
and South and Central Africa
Resignation Not a Surprise.
DR.. CottreIPs resignation was no
surprise to his friends since, as he
reminded the President in his let
ter Of resignation, in accepting the
position upon the resignation Of DR..
Manning last June, he explained to
the Secretary OF the Interior that
he had previously made all his plans
to resign as assistant director in
order to give all his time to the
position as chairman Of the Diyis-
ion Of Chemistry and Chemical
Technology Of the National Re
search Council.
II is understood that DR.. Cottrell
also desires time to devote to the
promotion Of an international auxil-
larry language, probably "Esperan-
to-" He was appointed chairman Of
the Committee on International Aux
iliary Language of the International
Research Council at the July, 1919,
meeting Of the council in Brussels.
This committee was appointed "to
investigate and report the present
status and possible outlook of the
general problem OF an International
auxiliary language" In this connec-
tion an effort is being made to or
ganiZe committees and working
groups in the national academic or
ganizations and educational institu-
tions to take up the various phases
OF the problem.
Sees New Research subject.
IF successful" DR.. Cottrell said
last night, the work in one sense
means the creation of a new subject
OF University research which might,
for lack of a better term be called,
synthetic or applied linguistics,'
differing from most of the work al
ready established along linguistic
lines in our colleges and universities,
largely through the greater parr
which psychological and sociological
problems will play in 1t.
There has always been a wide
spread feeling, whether justified or
not" he continued, that the subject
of international auxiliary language
has at times in the past been handled
very largely by lobbyists, and this
has considerably retarded serious.
study by competent academic author
tiles. However this may be, there
has gradually accumulated a very
considerable mass of raw material
Of fact and experience which is now
available for statistical study and
as useful basis for further and more
systematically planned experimental
tion."

FIND AIR MOTORS
In GERMAN CACHE
Material Withheld From Al
lies Discovered in Home
OF Hun Officer.

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-Another big
cache of concealed aeroplane motors
and appurtenances has been dis
covered and seized, this time in a
house of retired army officer IN
Koeslin, Pomerania. The material
filled forty-one big packing cases,
nineteen cases being missing aero
plane motors for which the inter-
allied control commission was look
ing and valued at several millions
of marks.
AS in the case of aeronautical
material recently confiscated at
Detmold, those interested in this
cache apparently were inspired by
a double motive of misguided pa
triotism in preventing the Entente
from getting the motors and ac-
cessories, and a speculative desire
to pass them along at a profit. 1t
was reported they had been nego-
tiating with Poland for the sale
of the motors.
The workmen at the aeropIane
factories lent their aid to the En-
tente representatives and police in
ferreting out the hidden. stocks OF
air material so as to obtain as soon
as possible a revocation Of the En-
tente veto upon the construction
of new areoplanes until three
months after the last remnants of
aeronautical war material had been
delivered. Shop councils at the fac
tories adopted resolutions asking
the workmen generally to act a.
volunteer detectives and report any
concealed motors or accessories
coming to their attention, in order
to hasten the happy day when the
factories might go begging for the
expected foreign trade without fear
of Entente repression.

FISHER URGES HIS
STABILIZED GOLD
PLAN AT WILLARD
Formation of Money
League Announced by
Economists.

Prof. Irving Fisher, professor of
political economy at Yale Univer-
sity, addressing half a hundred
luminaries of tie political, banking
and business world last night in the
Willard Hotel, advocated a rigid
price level or a stable gold dollar
in purchasing value, as the saliva
ton of monetary fluctuations of the
nation and remedy for social in
justice.
THE. purchasing power of the
gold dollar always has been un-
stable" said Prof Fisher, "and
without a radical remedy, 1t will
continue SO. II the index number
representing the current. prices OF
the composite basket of goods Of
a housewife is ! per cent above
ideal par, this fact will indicate
that the purchasing power of the
dollar has gone down and will be
the signal and authorization for an
increase OF per cent in the weight
Of the dollar" L..
Giving his plans for making the
dollar stable, Prof. Fisher declared
that "the method of rectifying the
gold standard consists in suitably
varying the weight of the gold
dollar. II we add new grains OF
gold to theNdollar just fast enough
to compensate for the loss of the
purchasing power of each grain, or
lower and take away, as the case
may be, we should have a fully
compensated dollar-a stationary
instead OF a fiuctuating dollar, when
judged. by its purchasing power"
Prof. Fisher insisted that 1t would
require little moro than an express
sion of Vie law to make it effective.

ADVISER OF CHINA
TOKIO'S CONTENTION
Will Insist at Arms Confer
ence That She Will Not
Interfere Internally.

TOXIC, Sept 1s.-The receipt OF
Americas tentative proposals, upon
which IL IS expected to build definite
programme fer the Washington confer
ence on the Limitation of arnlaments, has
stimulated a new discussion and inter-
est In the conference. which already is
great.
1t is believed that the Japanese Gov
eminent is giving earnest consideration
te Americas ideas concerning China and
Siberia, and more especially to topics
such ns equal opportunity In commerce
aud industry, the general question OF
preferential economic rights and the
questions Of concessions. monopolies and
the extension of railways. including
matters pertaining to the Chinese East
eyn Railway.
Particular interest has been aroused
by the suggestion 20 discuss the general
issue OF commitments relative to China
and Siberia. In diplomatic circles 1t is
thought that the United States deems 1t
advisable to bring about IN examination
Of all the engagemerts entered into be-
tween China ard the Powers whereby
the Powers have obtained rights and in
terests In China and Siberia or have
Leen intrusted with definite with definite
undertakings in those countries. Such
an examination would have as It's aim
the prevention of future naisunderstand-
ings on subjects not definitely settled
and the avoidance OF conflicting claims
based on existing commitments or en-
gaggements.
Summarizing the prevalent viewpoint
ere. the newspaper Ydmdto says that
Japan stands for special relationship
with China as neighbor. Japan does
not purpose to interfere In internal af-
fairs beyond assisting China to stand by
herself and giving friendly counsel. but
Japan must preserve the status quo re-
sarding spheres of influence already rec
cgnized by treaties and special arrange
men.s.

ton TO neutralize zthe South Manchuria
