avoid the corresponding reduction Of
one-eleventh in the compensation of its
employees by calling it the legislative
furlough plan. Neither is the require
ment OF section l01(a) Of the economy
act fully met by the inlpounding OF
only one months salary for the entire
year as asserted in your letter, be-
cause one-eleventh Of the weekly COM
pensation-required to be deducted un-
der section l01 (a)--is obviously mere
than one-twelfth and requires the i'm
pounding of slightly more than one
months salary for the year.
Modifies Decision.
Taking up the question of legislative
and administrative furloughs, which
McCarl now holds may run concurrent
ly," he said: upon further consider
alton of the matter and in the light Of
the administrative problems presented,
it is believed that the impounding re-
quirements of the statute will be met
if the regular periodical deductions for
legislative furlough of a minimum Of
one and one-fourth days pay, plus ad-
ditional deductions at the same rate
for additional legislative furlough, re-
ouired by decision of July 8, 1882, is
charged to the se;ary appropriation and
credited to the Snpounding fund for
each semi-monti1y pay period during
the whole or a part of which the en-
ployes are on administrative furlough
under section ZIG of the act.
"On this basis" he explained, and
with the distinct understanding that SH3
per cent Of the total annual salary rate
of employees must be deducted and i'm
pounded whether the employe is In a
duty or non-duty status. this ONCE will
interpose no further objection to action
granting administrative furleugh when
ever the needs of the service may re-
quire The decision of August l, 1882,
Ito the commission) is modified accord
ingly."
Referring TO the commissions con-
tention that the plan of the commission
had been informally approved through
a representative of McCarl's ONCE, the
decision declared that such opinions
are not authorized and must OF neces-
sity be regarded as personal views only,
given for whatever they may be worth
in the way of assisting the administra-
tive ofices In the solution OF their
problems. The expression Of such opin-
ions does not constitute an official ac-
ton and cannot under any circum-
stances be recognized as controlling the
action Of this Office on any matter that
may come before 1t for official deter
minatlon.

DEBUCHI CONFERS
ON STIMSON SPEECH
BUT DENIES PROTEST
Continued From First Page.l

cannot possibly put any offensive con-
struction in the historical truths ex-
pressed by Mr.. Stimson.
Consequently official quarters in
Washington have the tendency of min
imizing the repercussion Of the ad-
dress in Japan. They doubt whether
Japan will be willing to complicate
matters by an official protest Of
a speech which has the whole-heart-
ed Endorsement of the rest OF the civil
lied world.
The rumors from Toxic that Japan
may repudiate its signature OF the kel-
logg pact are considered as likely to
have certain amount Of truth. Japan
is a newcomer in the assembly OF world
powers. Her statesmen Of today are
consequently inclined to treat pacts and
treaties exclusively in the light whether
they are favorable to Japanese policies
or not.
View Of Nine Power Pact.
If any Of these treaties appear to
work against Japanese tendencies and
interests, the Toxic statesmen hasten to
describe these treaties and pacts as
obsolete. This has happened already
before. Last March the oficial spokes-
men OF the 1OklO IOrelSn OluCe Oc-
scribed the nine-power pact as mo
longer representing factual situation,
since China cannct be regarded any
longer as a political unit, but is today
merely a geographic description" This
point of view is not shared, however, by
the rest Of the world
The same thing is likely to happen
now in regard to the japanese posi-
ton in regard to the Kellogg pact. 1t
may be that Japan does not like the
implications Of the Kellogg pact as
described by the American Secretary
of State on Monday night. But the
rest Of the world, as far as it can be
ascertained at present, is in full SYM
pathy with the point Of view expressed
by Mr. StimSon and consequently, Japan,
if it wants to remain in the concert
OF world power must follow the attitude
adopted by the majority OF other civil
lied nations.
1t is for this reason that Official
quarters IN Washington refuse to be-
come alarmed at the official indigna-
tion Of the japanese government and
are inclined to believe that the storm
will blow over shortly without any real
damage to the relations between the two
countries.

She met Reynolds in 1880 when both
were bound home from Europe aboard
the Leviathan, she told the Associated

the closest friends. Both were married
at the time, but they obtained divorces
in order to wed each other.
I'VE were both stubborn" said Miss
Hoyt lone night last September he

"I wouldn't do it. I thought my
friends would say Nancy was marrying

younger and I was fool enough to
think my friends would talk.

BENNETT REPLY
IS KEY TO PARLEY
Success of Empire Confer

sionS by Canadian.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario, August 10.-The
prospect for broad success of the I'M
perial Trade Conference lay today
largely in the hands Of Premier Ben
nett of Canada.
Upon his reply to Great Britain,
which is expected before the end of
the day, may depend the outcome of
the effort to conclude a trade agree
ment between Canada and Britain. This
proposed accord has achieved a key
position in the conference work.
If the accord is to go through, as
matters now stand, it is up to Bennett
to make further concessions to British
industrial imports into Canada.
May Offer Concessions.
Unofficial observers, for the most
part, inclined to the belief that he had
nothing further to offer. Conservative
newspapers, however, insisted he was
ready to give wider concessions to Brit
ish iron, steel, coal and textile products
Otherwise. they said, Canada would be
the only dominion in the British COM
monwealth which failed to contribute
to the British preference plan.
American observers were not so
ready to concede that Canada would
agree to a tariff of 81 a ton on an
thracite coal, for instance, instead of
the 40 cents ad valorem now assessed
against United States coal.
Preference Is Cited.
1t was pointed out that British i'm
ports paid an average of only 1875 per
cent ad valored in duties, compared
with 30.2 per cent by most favored
nations, while the rest of the world,
including the United States, paid SAT
per cent. These figures were cited to
show that Canada is now giving the
British greater preference considera-
tien than she generally comedies.
The Canadians were chiefly emphatic
about their claim that in the weeks
the conference has been in session the
British have not yet said what they
would be willing to give in return for
industrial preferences.

HAY FEVER CURE OFFERED.
Government Has Found Remedy
Through Use of Pollen.


BY the Associated Press.
Sympathetic over word that Calvin
Coolidge suffers from hay fever. Gov
ernment experts were wondering today
whether the former President had
taken advantage of the many antogens
regarded as palllAtives for the disease
The first step to be taken in Mr.
Coolidge's case, students of hay fever
point out, would be to determine. II
possible, the particular pollen which
causes symptoms.
That Is comparatively easy, they say
Mr.. Coolidge might be susceptible tc
the pollen from common ragweed. Ar
antogen made with the pollen of the
plant would be used. If numerous in
jections did not ward off attacks, more
antogen would be called for until com
mon ragweed could be approached
without apprehension.
Ragweed Most Common.
Giant ragweed causes the trouble for
MANY. If so, an antogen from giant
ragweed. Or it might be plant of the
cocklebur family. A cocklebur antogen
would be needed and so on down the
list.
There are some poor souls who are
sensitive to any number of pollen bear
ing plants, or even to feather, horse
hair and carpets.
1t is estimated that IS per cent OF
hay fever sufferers in the East do their
sneezing through one Of the two COM
mon varieties OF ragweed.
If Mr.. Coolidge should be one OF the
majority, he would arrive in Washing
ton Thursday for President Hoover's
notification and depart-if he left the
next day-just before the ragweed in
Washington and vicinity begins to
scatter its pollen profusely.
August IS is about the earliest date
in the Capital and its suburbs that rag
weed has enough pollen to cause its
victims any trouble. The experts staked
their botanical regulations that the
period would be no earlier this year.
Coldenrod Innocent.
Only plants whose pollen is borne by
the wind in large quantities do the
damage, ordinarily speaking. Golden
rod is a pet hate of the average hay
feverite, but the specialists say it is the
innocent victim OF circumstantial evil
dence.
It looks dangerous. but its pollen Is
heavy, and 1t would be necessary ordi-
narily to sniff at the flower to bring
on chills and fever.
Ragweed is common through most oi
New England, botanists assert, but no.
body would venture any statements a:
