mission to acquire the land for a
connecting parkway between Rock
Creek / ark, Geological Park and Po-
tomac Park, and authorized an eX-
penditure of 81 800 900 to acquire such
land.
Congress has been by fractional an
nual appropriations making appropria-
ton for acquiring this land since that
time. Nearly all the land (about go
per cent? has been acquired, but it is
now found that an additional sum of
$500, 900 will be necessary to purchase
the remainder. This is due to a very
decided increase in values that has
occurred since the date of the original
act, nearly 13 years ago.
Large portions of the area were
obtained at less than the assessed
value and in view of the time that
has elapsed it IS felt that the Govern
ment would be fortunate in obtaining
the entire area without any larger in
crease over the original authorization
according to Secretary Mellon Of the
Treasury Department, who is chair
man of the Rock Creek and Potomac
Parkway Commission.
The bill introduced by Chairman
Zihlman today attempts to raise the
limit Of cost and provide the neces-
sary fund. Secretary Mellon strongly
urges the passage of the bill in order
that the remainder of the land may be
acquired promptly by the Govern
ment.

PERSIIING SCORES MOVE.
Sharply Criticizes Chilean Attitude in
PIebiscite DISPUTE.

AFRICA. Chile. December 10 P).--
The action of Chilean authorities in
the Tacna-Arica dispute has been the
subject of sharp criticism by Gen.
Pershing.
His motion for the fixing of dates
for a plebiscite, which has been APP
proved by the plebiscitary commission,
says in its preamble that before and
after the publication of the arbitral
award the Chilean authorities in
Tacna-Arica, mot only failed SO to
exercise the power of government as
TO render the progress of a fair plebi-
scite possible. but used those powers
unlawfully to reduce by means Of ex-
pulsion and deportation, a number of
Peruvian voters in plebiscitary terri
tory and to place Peruvians remaining
in that territory in a state of fear
and subsection inconsistent with the
free exercise of electoral rights"
The preamble adds that If Chile
maintains it's attitude the commits
sion is left no alternative except to
report to the arbitrator the failure
of it's efforts to carry out the plebi-
scite owing to the refusal of the Chile

advised as to the actual construction
of the governmental machine now
and as to the changes desired. 1t is
thought that the reorga niZation to be
effected will follow very closely the
original Smoot- Brown plan, which was
approved by President Coolidge.
In going about the task of reorgan-
ization under the provisions of this
bill the President will not have au-
thority to touch the functions of the
present so-called semi-judicial bodies
such as the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t is not clear in the
minds of those who saw the Presi-
dent today whether the latter will
have authority to bring about the
changes in the Shipping Board and
the Emergency Fleet, which he is
known to so ardently desire. Secre-
tary Hoover was of the opinion that
the President could, under this pro.
posed law, separate the board from
the Emergency Fleet and could ap-
point an executive head to administer
the affairs of the fleet. However,
this point will be determined later.

morning session of the congress. Rep

Control to Navigation" and Frank
Lyon. local steamship line attorney,

He declared that the billion and d
half dollars which the Government
has expended for development of
Americas waterways was being multi
fed by laws permitting railroads to
underbid shipping on freight rates be-
tween certain ports.
T. c. Powell Of Chicago, president
of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois

railroads are striving to cooperate,
rather than compete, with shipping.

Tells of World Court.
Turning from discussion of various
projects for river and harbor improve
ment, members of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress were told at the
annual dinner of the organization last
night that the World Court was not
an outgrowth of the war, but actually
was in process of permanent forma-
ton months before the war was start
ed in 1914. Judge d. d. Woodmansee
of Cincinnati, addressing the congress,
said it was a matter of history that
steps to effect q permanent organiza-
ton of the court were taken in the
early Summer of 1914. He added that
had Austrias impossible" note to
Serbia been delayed but two months
the great conflict would probably have
been avoided. At the same time Sen
ator Ransdell of Louisiana indicated
that President Coolidge would find
Democratic support in the Senate in
his proposal that the United States
become a member of the court.
DR.. Honorio Pueyrredon. the Argen-
tine Ambassador, said the agreement
as TO power development on the st.
Lawrence River between the United
States and Canada should stand as a
model for the world. He said Argen-
tina had a contract with other nations
which is not so favorable as the
United States-Canada pact. Develop
ment of water power, he said, is
mark of progress of a, nation.
j. Hampton Moore, president of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton, and a former member of Con-
gress, was POSTMASTER.
Earlier in the day the congress de-
cided to appeal to President Coolidge
TO secure appropriations for develop
ment of inland waterways, and heard
Secretary Hoover declare the rail-
road and water transportation should
be linked in a transportation trinity
to keep pace with the growth of the
Nation.

LONDON. Oct. s10-Premier Bald
wins administration Il in . very
shaky condition, despite it, bis
majority in Parliament.
Rent with internal dissensiOns,
II IL now faced BY open revolt
from Its supporters outside.
There are three main complaints
against tbs government. The
first il the utter failure to re-
lieve unemployment. There are
now 49,, 900 more people drawing
the weekly unemployment allow
ance than there were year ago.
industrial Menace
Secondly, in the opinion OF the
Tory party, the Baldwin cabinet
has been entiraly unsuccessful in
dealing with what is known as the
industrial menace meaning the
attempt by some labor leaders to
intimidate the administration. and
the Communists and Bolshevtst
propaganda.
Then there il the decision to
retain the M0sul and Irak mandate
for another 26 years. At present
It costs Britain four millions ster-
ling per annum to carry out this
mandate, and the possession Of
Mosul Is equivalent to the posi-
bility Of d war with Turkey any
moment. Chanuk was the grave
of Lloyd Georges ministry; Mosul
Ii equally likely to be that Of
Stanley Baldwin's.
So acute has the position be
come that Tory stalwarts like J.
=. Garvin, publisher OF The OBJ
server. are predicting National
ministry within q few months with
Lloyd. George and Sir William
Joynson-Hicks at its head.
Baldwin undoubtedly aliena ted

than take the chance Of q coal

whole, threw cold water on this
plan.
Opposition On MOsuI
Again, as regards Mosul, the ad'
ministration is meeting with the
bitterest opposition. 1t Is said that
Winston Churchill, Lord Birken,
head and Lord Cave are fiercely
opposed to it, and that Ministers
Amery and Chamberlain made the
offer at the league meeting at
Geneva without Cabinet authority.
Very few now see any CONNER
cial possibilities in Mosul, and with
the Turks regarding it as their
undisputed territory for a thousand
years, and their present Alsace'
Lorraine, it seems as though Britain
were counting a long and costly
war by retaining possession OF It,
