economy in Government expenditures,
however, the Commissioners did not
ask for an increase in the number
of inspectors for next year.
Increase in New Scales.
The amounts recommended by the
Budget Bureau for salaries in the
building office for next year are
larger than current appropriations.
but it was explained today that the
increase is merely to take care of
the higher pay scales allowed by
recla ssification and will not permit
of an enlargement of the force.
The current appropriation for the
pay of annual employees of the build
ing office is s57,0S0. The new budget
recommends s5S,00o. The current al
lotment for temporary inspectors is
$4,000, and the new budget recon-
mends $4,000.
Mr.. Oehmann's prediction that a
$4,000 deficiency will occur this year
with the appropriation at $4,000 in
dicates that the sum required annual
ly for temporary inspectors is So, 900

Following the Knickerbocker Thea

CONFIDENCE VOTE
GIVEN TO HERR|OT
Chamber Expresses Belief in
Ability to Cope With Com
munist Situation.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, December 10-Communism
in all its manifestations was discuss
ed from every viewpoint of the
French political world in debate in
the Chamber yesterday. which drag
ged along for hours and ended in the
adoption of q motion expressing con-
fdence in the governments ability
to suppress violence without specify
ing its source The vote for Premier
Herriot's ministry was 319 to 90.
All the Communists voted against
the motion, and about $50 members
of the opposition abstained from vot-
ing.
Premier Herriot presistsd in his
refusal to take the agitation of the
Communists too seriously.
"Amused- by Communists.
Communism is not capable of de-
stroying law and order in France"
declared NJ. Herriot. THE Commu-
nists amuse me when they talk about
forming q peasant bloc. The worst
they can do is to provoke minor dis
orders, with collisions and blood
shed. which will be promptly re-
pressed.
"On the other hand, hear that the
Action Francaise people are very ac-
tive. We have proof that decisive ac-
tion is being prepared by them; that
orders have been issued to buy
blackjacks and revolvers. These at
tacks Will find the government
ready"
The first note of warning that the
Socialist party might abandon the
government was sounded during the
discussion when NJ. Compere- Morel.
one of the most influential among
the 1O5 Socialist deputies, said:
IF you insist on combating Com
munism by force of arms you sepa-
rate yourself from the Socialist
party"
NJ Compere- -Morel advocated grant
ing workingmen social reforms, in
stead of sending the police to expel
them.
NJ Outrey. deputy for Cochin China.
emphasized the Communist danger in
the French and British colonies He
charged that the bomb outrage in
Canton, which nearly cost the life of
Gov. Gen. Merlin last June, was the
work of Reds" Challenged by
Deputy Moutet, the Cochin China
deputy produced and read what he de-
clared was documentary evidence
proving his charge. NJ. Doriot and NJ
Moutet characterized the document
as an impudent forgery.
NJ. Outrey, however, went on and
fatty accused DR.. Sun Yat-Sen as be-
ing the instigator of the Canton out
break.
The president of the Chamber then
read a motion by NM. Cazals, Blum
and Thomson. which Premier Herriot
accepted and made a question of con-
fidence. The resolution was in effect
that the government should resolute-
ly pursue it's republican and social
policies and not allow them to be-
compromised by systematic violence.

remainder are temporary appointees

the deficiency is expected to occur
in the Spring.
Need Placed at $1,000.
The current appropriation act car
ried $4,000 for the employment of
temporary inspectors. Inspector Och

ficiency appropriation of $4,000 is ap-
propriated by Congress before ad-
journment the inspection force will
have to be reduced from the latter
part of April until the new appro-
priations become effective July 1.
With the amount of building that
is going on in all sections of the
city, Mr.. Oehmann said he could not
get along with fewer men than he
now has.
On the contrary, officials feel that
there should be more men available
for this important work of building

SUPPORT PLEDGED
CHINA BY POWERS
Conditions to Recognition by
u. S. and Others Listed

The provisional government of
China at Peking was advised yester-
day by foreign powers that full sup
port to the new Chinese government
would be given and that it would be

gagements entered into by its prede-
cessors. Diplomatic representatives

France, Japan, Belgium, Italy and the
Netherlands sent communications to

ther on the understanding that the

stituted with the concurrence of the
people of China for the purpose of

ing establishment of a formal admin
istration representing all provinces

ASKS RECLAMATION
MEASURE Be 0. KID
Commissioner Urges Relief
for Homesteaders in An
nuaI Report.

Enactment into law of the recon-
mendations of the special advisers
on reclamation is urged by Elwood
Mead. commissioner of the Bureau
of Reclamation. in his annual report
today to Secretary of Interior Work.
4 bill based on the committees
recommenda tions and having for its
main purpose the financial relief of
settlers on existing projects has
passed the House and is now be-
fore the Senate, Commissioner Mead
points out. If enacted in its present
form it will authorize the following
notifications in reclamation methods
]. The annual payments on con-
struction charges Will be based on
the average annual gross crop re-
turn: now they are based on a per
centage of the projected cost fixed
without relation to the productivity
of the land.
2. Where lack of soil fertility,
scarcity of water. or other adequate
cause, renders settlers unable to pay
project costs, the Secretary may
make such investigation as will dis
close the pertinent facts and report
them to Congress, with recommended
tions looking to a correction of the
fault. The present law calls for re-
payment of project costs in full, re-
gardless of the value of the water
made available for irrigation.
Would Change Payments.
;. Operation and maintenance
charges will be paid in advance, thus
bringing Government practice in
harmony with that of privately
owned works. Such charges are now,
for the most part, paid after the
service is rendered.
A. The costs of the Washington of
fee, including expenses of general
Investigations similar to the one un-
dertaken by the committee, will be
charged to the reclamation fund, but
not to the water users as at present
All of the foregoing charges will
be helpful, Commissioner Mead said
In the operation of existing projects,
but If legislation stops with these
the amended reclamation act will not
provide a working plan for the de-
velopment of new projects due to the
fact that many of the best opportu-
mites for - future reclamation are
where the land is now privately owned.
Although private land projects may
be taken up and constructed by the
United States under the reclamation
act, the commissioner explained, it
was never the purpose of that act to
subsidize private owners by furnish
ing tnterest-free money to develop
their excess land holdings, leaving
them free to capitalize the Govern
ment's investment in reclamation
works and add it to the price at
which they sell their excess holdings
Ito actual settlers. Nor was 1t the
intention, he added, to improve arid
estates by supplying water and then
leave the owners of those estates to
create a system of tenantry and rent
the land on an irrigation basis.
