figures to indicate substantial savings
to taxpayers on public works projects
at this time from a survey made at his
request by the Commerce Department
Division of Public Construction.
He reported that present bids on
construction at points east Of the Mis-
sippi averaged between IA and Is per
cent below estimates for 1929 with the
decrease greater on smaller buildings
than on projects Of major size.
Reports from Army officials, he said,
showed decreases averaging about 10
per cent per cubic foot in the cost of
residential construction between 1923
and 1880. Decreases in the contract
costs for dredging, levees and other
river and harbor Improvements ranging
up to "A per cent also were reported.
Road Expenses Lower.
The Bureau of Public Roads, Woods
added, had submitted data on unit costs

the Standard Statistics Co. to show the

to such an extent that the same ex-
penditure of interest last August would
pay for per cent more money than
in September 1929.
Woods said it was planned to divide
the country into six or seven major
divisions to facilitate relief work.
So far, regional directors have been
appointed for only two of these divi-

GIBSON FINDS TASK IN ROME.
Concessions of Both France and Italy
Are Sought.
BY WILLIAM H. SLOVENIAN.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
ROME, Italy, November 3.-Ambas-
sador Hugh S. Gibson's numerous con-
versationS with Italian officials here
during the last few days have been
given over to a single purpose: To con-
vince the Italians that the French are
really not as bad as they seem to
Italian eyes and to persuade them, with
that thought in mind, to resume i'm
mediately negotiations for naval parity
Before coming here Mr.. Gibson spent
several hours trying to convince the
French in turn that the Italians are
not a bunch of cutthroats. Apparently
he has accomplished his purpose.
There is no concrete result OF Mr..
GibSon's visit here, but at least it Is
definitely settled that the French and
Italians alike will go to Geneva in
more open frames of mind than they
have exhibited at any time since be-
fore the London Naval Conference. AS
a matter of fact, a full agreement on
the naval question might loom on the
immediate horizon If only the heads
of the governments were concerned and
the passions aroused in the breasts Of
the French and italian peoples did not
have to be reckoned with.
Mr.. Gibson, whose ability as q diplo-
mat makes him the most valuable pos
sible peacemaker in the Franco-Italian
scramble, is sufficiently cautious not to
discuss details of conversations that he
has had with the French and Italians.
It is known, however, that every one
with whom he has talked, from Andre
Tardieu and Premier Mussolini down,
has shown signs Of WEAKNESS from the
long word battle between the two coun-
tries and an honest desire 70 come to
an agreement.
Mr.. Gibsons job Is not to offer any
concrete solution for the question or
even to render his good Offices" but
simply to impress upon France and
Italy the folly of a continued naval
race.
1t requires even more than the tact
and diplomacy of a man such as Mr..
Gibson to compromise the Italian thesis
Of parity with the French demands for
7-to-4 ratio of superiority over Italy.
On the other hand, these much talked
Of demands assume much less impor-
lance than was once attached to them
when 1t is realized that Italy wants
and can use only theoretical parity
with France.
If the French are willing to make a
concession of paper parity to Italian
pride and the Italians are willing to
make some concessions in actual ton
mage to France, still without making it
appear they have made a sacrifice, the
Geneva meeting this week may yield
results. French and italian politicians
must appease the very people whom they
have excited and it now appears that
they are anxious to do so.

that Italy will allow the French to have
sufficient tonnage stationed elsewhere

1t is calculated here that France must

take care of its colonial routes with

This, it was said, was only a prospec-
