Country Children Stand
 High in Health Survey

WASHINGTON, D. O., March Is. The advantage of the pre-school city child over rural children in di- sease prevention service is not nearly so great as was anticipated, the national conference on child health and protection has found.
 Whereas half the city children under school age have had health examinations, only a little more than a third of the country chill dren have had this service.
 But the rural child is found astonishingly close to the city child in the matter of immunizations, and stands shoulder to shoulder with the city child in visits to the dentist. Only seven per cent of country children, however, have been vaccinated.

BILL To FREE
F|L|P|NOS
Missouri Senator Convinced
Whole Native Population Is
Anxious for independence

Further debate in the next
Congress over Philippine tnde'
pendence was assured today 80
Senator Harry B. Hawes Cd Of
Missouri announced he would
again sponsor legislation grant.
ing complete autonomy to the
islands within seven years.
The Missourian, Just returned
from a three months visit to the
Philippines, declares the native
population is almost unanimously
in favor Of immediate independ-
ence.
Hawes disparaged the military
value of the islands to the United
States. He declared Japan could
occupy the islands at any time
and it would require half the
American army and the whole
American fleet to recover them.
He said American military and
naval authorities shared ChlS DC"
lief. He said:
''The islands are surrOunded
by japanese areas, as . result
Of the 1920 naval treaty. "The
United States didn't retain even
q naval channel from the Hawai-
Ian Islands to the Philippines.
Our ships would have to pass
through waters under the man
date of Japan i'm order to reach
the Philippines. We can't even
protect our naval engines there
we can't build o concrete ditChs
we can't elevate our defense
guns, due to that treaty"
Hawes said he might amend
the bill he sponsored a year ago
to eliminate the tariff provisions.
That bill proposed that tariff bar
riers between the two peoples be
erected slowly, with a IS per cent
preferential to the Philippines for
one year, and decreasing annually
until full tariffs would be imposed
after five years.

trasting colors run around the

PETROLEUM TRADE
.OUTLOOK IMPROVED
Midcontinent Producers En-

BY BENNETT WOLFE.
AsrnrIetca prnrr etasf 49,


TULSA. Okla, August 20-Hope was
held in this oil capital today for an
early Improvement in the position Of
the American petroleum industry.
The martial law shutdown of the
gigantic East Texas producing area, out
of which has come food Of crude
oil TO lash the industry with destruc-
tive waves of price-cutting, was greeted
with applause generally by midconti-
nent oilmen.
With Oklahoma's flush fields also
clamped under a military enforced lid
and the possibility existing that similar
action may be taken in Kansas, pre-
dicttons we're being freely made in oil
circles that higher crude petroleum
prices would be posted soon in the mid
continent area.
Shutdown Approved.

the price of crude oil was certain IF

Small producers pointed out that

in Fastening higher prices.
The big companies have been want
ing to raise prices for some time" said
one Independent operator, but they
couldn't so long as East Texas flooded
the market with Decent oil. Now, with
the flow of that cheap oil curbed I
think we can look for an early in
crease"
Prevailing top prices for midcon-
tinent oil are about so cents a barrel.
Earlier In the Summer the top price
paid by many companies was % cents
a barrel, the lowest IN the history Of
the midcontinent area. The highest
price ever posted in the area was $3.50

felt sharply the effects Of the shut
down. Several Oklahoma refiners have
indicated that quotations for the

may be withdrawn entirely within the
next day or two This fuel was quoted
yesterday at 5 to So cents gallon

Several, including the White Oak Re-

already have withdrawn from the spot
market because of insufficient pro-

BY CARLTON A. SHIvELY.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 20.-Both In re-
spect to the findings of the so-called
Wigein Committee on the German eco
nornic position and the agreement signed
at Basel by a consortium Of German
bankers and their foreign creditors, the
results of the conferences were just as
expected in Wall Street.
AS the American delegate and as
chairman of the committee proposed at
the London conference in July to md
facts and make recommendations, AL
bert H. Wiggin. chairman of the govern
ing board of the Chase National Bank,
was expected TO lend support to the idea
of revision of German reparations. He
went on record in the annual report Tor
his bank last Winter as favoring debt
reduction.
Opinion Is Divided.
Mr.. Virgins selection for the COM
mittee scarcely was made because OF his
views on international debts, but rather
because of his own ability as banker
and Of the large interests of his bank
in Germany. On the subject of cutting
German reparations and allied debt pay
ments to this country Wall Street is by
no means a unit, even among those
often referred to as international bank-
ers Nearly every shade Of opinion Is
held on the subject, and some frankly
say that they do not now know how
they stand, their positions having
shifted a bit in recent years. AT least
one prominent international banker
feels very strongly that cutting of for
eign debts to this country although per-
J1xY 11n 70
hard Shedding. The prospect for an
other large Treasury de1cit and the
proposals for further enormous soldier
bonus payments will do little to help
debt scaling.
On the matter of the second part
Of Mr. Virgins duties in Europe-the
agreement for extension of short-term
credits to Germany by American and
other foreign bankers-the interior
bankers have virtually agreed to follow
the lead of the large New York banks.
They in turn reposed fun authority
in Mr.. Wtggin TO represent them and
the American views were transmitted
abroad a short time ago, being vir-
tually the same as the terms agreed
upon at Basic. Existing credits, esti-
mated at $1,000, 100000, will be ex-
tended for six months and the con-
siderable amount of mark balances
held by foreign banks in Germany will
have graduated extension.
Revision Held Necessary.
Although the Wiggin report does not
expressly recommend cut in repara-
tons, 1t favors that by implication, If
any one is so minded to interpret it
that way. Reviewing the futility of
piling up further short-term credits, it
notes the impracticability of con-
solidating them with a long-term loan
at this time, backed solely on German
government guaranty, which appar-
emily suggests international guarantees.
In any event, Wall Street feels that
the question of Young plan revision
will have to be answered one way or
the other before long.
No specific recommendation Is made
b. the report, but Wall Street was not
