crop. Virtually all growers made A
start last year at wipng out their
frozen loans.
The crop of 1921. which amounted to
only 9.S90.000 bales and was the sec
ond smallest in nine years, left not
only the United States but the entire
world dangerously near cotton short
age considering the increased rate of
consumption by mills of this and other
countries. The carry-over next Au-
gust will be one of the smallest in his

States ordinarily supplies about 60
per cent o all the raw cotton used
throughout the world.

ROCK CREEK PARK
ROAD PROGRESSES
Will Be Opened in Spring,
j, According to Pres
H9 yent Plan.

Good progress is being made in the
building of a new road in the upper
section of Rock Creek Park, and II
will be opened to traffic in the spring.
1t traverses the thickly wooded
area north of the public golf course
and will be the only vehicular en-
trance to the park from the east
side between Brightwood and the
District line. 1t starts on 18th
street almost directly opposite the
entrance to Walter Reed Hospital,
and, following a somewhat circuitous
route along the right bank of a ra-
bridge. 1t connects with Beach drive
at a point nearly midway between
the two roads connecting with Daniel
road, one at the north end of the
park near Chestnut street, and the
other just north of Fort De Russey.
The bridge, which is already in place.
was constructed out of surplus war
material.
1t is a substantial steel structure
of the same width as the road
thirty feet-and is designed for the
passage of double line of vehicles.
There is already a wooden footbridge
in the same vicinity. The new road
will receive its top dressing of
broken stone and asphalt whenever
the weather permits. and will be COM
pleted in the spring.
Maj. Cen L. II. Beach, chief of en-
gineers. who directed the building of
the new road. was Engineer Com
missioner of the District when Rock
Creek Park was opened, and the main
driveway was named in his honor.
No name has yet been given to the
new road.

Senator Walsh Introduces Bill to
Give Veterans Full
Latitude.

Amendments to liberalize the war
risk insurance act were proposed
yesterday by Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, Massachusetts, member of
the committee investigating the Vet
Grams Bureau.
The bills would give veterans suf-
fering from neuropsychiatric and tu-
bercular diseases free treatment ir-
respective of whether the disease was
of service origin: would repeal the
stipulation that such patients must
be examined within three years after
discharge in order to avail them
selves of government aid, and would
grant compensation to dependents
of soldiers who died from neuro-
psychiatric or tubercular diseases
within three years after discharge.

URGES CONGRESS Define
STATUS OF PHILIPPINES
Speaker Says Political Unsettle-
ment Must Cease to Attract
Foreign Capital.
Er the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. December 21-Al-
though insurrection in the Philippines
is not imminent, Congress must define
the status of the islands If the po-
litiCal unsettlement there is to be dis
PEELED and American capital attracted
for the development of Philippine re-
sources, John H. Pardee, president, of
the Philippine American Chamber of
Commerce, told the New York Rotary
club.
The existing lack of definite in
depreciation of the Jurisdiction of
United States and native officials in
the islands. he said, enabled local
leaders to make political capital by
clamoring for complete independence.
Mr.. Pardee expressed a personal
preference for a wider latitude of
native autonomy than existed with
this country exercising a sovereignty
and the Supreme Court the arbiter of
final appeal.

BUYERS HOLD OFF
IN STEEL MARKET
Copper Steadier-Zinc Goes
| Higher-WeekIy Review
T. of Other Metals.
Nv the Assocfa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 20.-While
underlying conditions in the steel
market appeared to be sound, there
was a noticeable feeling of nervous
ness In some directions, and buyers
operated less freely than expected
during the past week. From the rail-
roads fair demand for rails and
other equipment appeared. with more
or less buying OF structural steel and
wire products, but bookings ahead
were slow. and buyers evidently an
ticipated a reduction in prices. An
increased business was done with ia
pan. Pig iron was little more ac-
tive, but remained easy.
Copper was steadier, with an i'm
proved but comparatively moderate
? volume of business. 1t was reported
that supplies of copper carried in
Germany by American producers for a
long time finally had been sold. al
though there was some doubt as to
whether they had gone into the hands
of consumers or purchased for resale.
Export business fell off. but domestic
demand was better, resulting in a
slight advance in prices. Offerings
from second-hands remained small.
Tin ruled firm, in sympathy with i'm
provement in London. Buying by
consumers still was moderate, but de-
mand kept pace with production.
Lead was without much change, re-
flecting a good general absorption for
quick shipment, but supplies appeared
plentiful.
Zinc made further advances, with
not only fair demand from domestic
consumers, mostly for quick shipments.
but also from Great Britain.
Anthony was firm and higher on
light offers and the strength of the
Chinese market.
