--------------- COX BLAMES FAILURE TO JOIN LEAGUE FOR
 BUSINESS ADvERSITY
ByAssocisted Press

Now York, April 8.-Directfy attrib- utins our present day. business ad- versity- to the failure of the United States to join the League of Nations, former Governor James M. Cox of Ohio in an address here tonight urged a continuation of the campaign to have this country join the league.
 His address was made before the National Democratic club and was one of his few public utterances since his campaign as democratic candi- date for the presidency in 1920.
 Asserting that "as one surveys conditions at Washington he finds little ground for hope of . stable prosperity" Mr. Cox declared that the average person of the average community believes there is some thing radically wrong in Washing ton and that it consists chiefly of a lack of leadership. There Is no cap tain of the ship"
 Governor Cox told his audience that while there is much regret throughout the country over the aim less way in which things are drift ing. 1t is not fair to .crticise the Presi- dent of the United States.
 He is simply keeping his contract with the people" Mir. Cox said. sHe was open and frank in expressing his opinion as to what tks function of the executive is. The campaign waged by his party was largely directed against the alleged autocratic policies of MT. Wilson. In marking the distinction which both he and his part made be- tween he and what had been and what was to be in this regard, the republican candidate specifically promised what he would do. He has kept his faith He doubtless believes his performance is in percise har- mony with what he accepted as a mandate adopted by 100000 plural

FEDERAL CHEMICAL CORPORATION r O R
 OPERATION ASKED
Resolution Provides For Sec retary of War to Complete Dams 2 and 3 on Ten
 nesSee River
By Associated Press

Washington, April 8.-A govern ment owned and operated corpora ton, to be conducted under the super vision of three directors appointed by the President, for development of the vast nitrate and water power projects at Muscle Shoals, was pro- posed in a congressional resolution made public tonight by Senator Nor ris of Nebraska, chairman of the Senate agriculture committee. It will be introduced in the Senate Mon day and referred to the agricultural committee for consideration in con- nection with hearings beginning then on the four private proposals for Muscle Shoals, submitted by Henry Ford, the Alabama Power company, Frederick Engstrum and Charles Parsons.
 While no appropriation is asked for the development of the projects, con gressional authority is requested for the creation of & federal chem:cal corporation" and for the Secretary of War to complete the construction of dams Nos. 2 and in the Tennes- see river" as well as the making of surveys in the river and its tribu- taries for the location of storage res ervoirs and If necessarily the con struction of additional dams there.
 A formal statement issued by Sem ator Norris analyzing the provisions of his resolution. says:
 Analysis of Provixions
 The bill which I have prepared providing for the development of Muscle Shoals provides that the Sec retary Of War shall proceed to inc completion of dams Nos. and Al Muscle Shoals and then shall cause survey of the Tennessee river and it's tributaries to be made with 8 view of locating storage reservoirs The only weak point in the power de- velopment at Muscle Shoals is the very large difference between the maximum and minimum flow of the river. This means that as compared with the large amount of water go- ing down stream there is but a small primary power. If storage res ervoirs of reasonable cost can bs built so as to equalize the flow of the river In different seasons of the year to store up the flood and let fl out when the water Is low. the devel- opment of power will be very much increased, and the expense propor- tionately decreased.

PART OF PRINTING
 BUREAU CLOSEDBY
 ORDER OF MELLON
Section Handling Bank Note and Stamp Paper Locked Up Pending Check-up of
 Millions in Stock
By AssocIated Prcsn

Washington, April 8.-Part of the bureau of engraving and printing, which was reorganized last week under an executive order by Presi- dent Harding, removing James L. Wilmeth, it's director, and other high officials, was ordered closed tonight by Secretary Mellon for an inyen- tory of the stock, valued at many millions of dollars.
 Mir. Mellon's order applied only to the divisions of the bureau which handles the paper used in making bank notes, stamps ana government securities, it being explained that a quicker and more accurate check of the paper stock could be made by a temporary shutdown of all paper work. About 1,500 employees of the bureau force of 5000 would ordi- narily be affected by the order, of ficials said. but about 500 will be used as counters and all others hav- ing annual leave to their credit will bC bANSi tiC pCHclib VI
 According to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury wadsworth, in charge of the bureau, the inventory is to be taken as a check of the stock on hand in the plant against the books, in much the same fash ion that stock is taken by a manu- facturer for the year.
 Check Begins Today.
 Check of the bureaus bank notes. stamps, government securities, paper. plates and other supplies which of ficials said total an enormous amount in value will be begun to- morrow by a committee appointed by MT. Mellon representing all the departments such as the treasury, federal reserve board and postoffice department which have work done at tke plant and a staff of justice department agents assigned to Louis A. Hill, the new director, by Attor- ney General Daugherty. MT. wads- worth sadi he expected the count to be completed within a week at ths outside.
 Whether the results of the inven- tory will be made public as Is cus- tomery when counted has not yet been considered.
 Announcement or Ine closing brought into prominence again ru- mors that have circulated among some department employees to the effect that investigation of the en- graving bureau would disclose serious shortages in the stock and wide spread duplication of Liberty Bonds and other government securities. High treasury officials declared to- day, however, that there was no sus- picion of shortage in the stock of the bureau, although there had been some duplication of the numbers on government bonds due to faulty ma chinery. These Implications, it was stated, caused no loss to the gov ernment because the securities were accounted for by the individual pieces. and. although there had been minor ttefts fro mthe bureau from time to time, such losses had for the most part been small.
 The statements appearing In news papers to the effect that vast quan- titles of securities have been fraud ulentIy issued and are in circulation are wholly without foundation. There has been no evidence Of any such sit uation either in the bureau of en- graving and prin ting or elsewhere in the treasury department, it was said.
