OTTAWA, July 20, (P-An in- ference that the British Empire Trade Conference, opening here Thursday night, might prove means for Canada to break away from the influence of the United States, was bumped into the laps of delegates to the conference.
 Delegate Stanley Bruce, former Australian premier, placed in blunt words the question, Will a cohesive trade policy within the limits and units of the British Empire be pur- chased at the cost of American commercial relations with Can ada?", saying there always is the tendency of nation to be absorb ed by a bigger country. "This ought to be Canada's chance to break away"

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 20, - Uncle Sam, who has played rich uncle to a lot of people, grinned and got ready to hand out 67 red, white and blue emblems, the shield of the United States, to be worn by his sturdiest sons in the 10th Olym- pic games, opening July 31st at Los Angeles.
 Those small emblems, few in- ches all around, represent more to the 270 picked men, striving for them, here today in the final Olym- pic team try-outs, than a lot of the gold stored in Uncle Sam's trea- sury.

ECONOMIC WEAPONS
 USED IN WARFARE
 ENGLAND, IRELAND

DUBLIN, July 20, The historic struggle between Britain and Ire land appears to have been renewed with it's bitterness although this time with economic weapons rather than with sword and gunfire. Post CTS were displayed in Dublin read ing boycott British goods"
 The Free States refusal to pay annuities on land led the British to declare a tariff war which threat ems to be mutually destructive and especially so to Ireland. The latest negotiations for peace between President Ramon de Valera and Premier Ramsey Macdonald having been broken down in London, the Free State proceeded with plans for retaliation against the ruinous special tariff levied by Britain against Free State products.
 The British tariff hits especially at meat, butter, eggs and poultry, the backbone of agriculture which is Ireland's chief industry.
 Ships have been sailing for the last few days from Irish ports to England with almost empty holds, the Irish exporters being unable to compete with Denmark and other countries under the new dis criminatory tariff.
 Plans for reprisals include the pending bill establishing an equally high tariff on British imports to Ireland and extensive propaganda in European countries to promote intertrade with Ireland on large scale. A project already has been started to put German coal in stead of British, which would be a blow to the already staggering British coal industry.

 The Department of the Interior has issued a manuscript report of the SuSlota Pass district, prepared by Fred H. Moffit. This district in- cludes that part of the Alaskan Range which lies between Men tast Pass and Nabesna river. It has been difficult of access until re- gently and is without established trails, although some prospecting and trapping have been carried on within it. The usual route of ap- proach is the Copper River Valley This part of the Alaska Range is about 35 miles wide from the low lands of the Copper River on the southwest to those of the Tanana River on the northeast, and its average elevation $ lower thar that of ay other part of the range between it and Mt.

PARK COMMISSION
ARRANCES FLOOD
CONTROL SURVEY
Raising Grade OF Proposed
B Street Extension to
Figure in Study.
OLD RECORDS SCANNED
IN PREPARATORY WORK
Engineers Hope to Prevent High
Waters From Menacing
Avenue Area.

Flood control for the City Of Wash
ington will be the objective of a study
to be undertaken Immediately by the
staff of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the engi-
neering division of the Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks, at the
request of Maj. Gen. Lyle Brown
chief of Army Engineers.
Capt. E. N. Chisolm. jr., engineer of
the commission. announced today that
the inquiry would be directed particu-
larly to the raising of the grade of the
proposed extension of B street south.
to form a protecting dyke This would
be designed to prevent the waters rising
to the city proper, through the vicinity
of Seventeenth street, at the low point
there, coming up from the Tidal Basin
and the flooded Potomac River.
Tentative Plans Made.
Tentatively, it has been suggested
that B street south extended be 10
feet above mean low water. Another
major question to be considered will be
whether in the extension of B street
south. which now runs past the De-
partment of Agriculture, near the Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing, the
thoroughfare should be constructed in
meandering fashion, or in a straight
line, running to the north line of the
Tidal Basin and south Of the Rejecting
Pool Of the Lincoln Memorial.
The low point in Potomac Park and
part of Water street now invite food
waters to come up into the city. The
engineers are anxious to prevent a
repetition of the floods of some years
ago. when the waters inundated Penn
sylvania avenue and boats were used
in the streets.
Capt Chisolm said that upstream of
the Arlington Memorial Bridge the sea
wall and higher ground are sufficiently
elevated to prevent flood waters from
coming up into the city that way. He
pointed out that the Lincoln Memorial
grounds and the Washington Monument
grounds rise perceptibly.
Flood Records Kept.
In the forthcoming study the staff of
the commission, Maj. D. H. Gillette,
assistant to Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd,
director Of the Office of Public Build
ings and Public Parks, and George
Clark, head of the surveying and draft
ing section of Col Grants Office, will
consult Maj. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., Dis
trict engineer for the War Department
for the Washington area.
The office of Maj Arthur keeps the
records of floods on the Potomac River
for number of years back. These
cycles Of floods In the past will be used
as basis for calculating what floods
Washington may expect in the future.
To combat these. a thorough study is
being inaugurated. Gov. Brown will re-
port to Congress, after the special in
vestigation has been completed and he
has had opportunity to digest its find
ings
Capt. Chisolm made 1t clear today
that the forthcoming study should not
give rise to any alarm. He explained
that 1t is merely move to guard
against future floods.

Organized and Properly
Administered.
STANDARD PLEDGE CARD
FOR U. S. UNIT Is URGED
Methods Of Raising Funds and Co.
orinating Work Declared
an Improvement.

A report commencing the Community
CHEST on its efficiency was submitted
yesterday to Thomas z. Campbell,
president OF the Civil Service Com
mission and chairman of the Govern
ment unit in the recent drive
Prepared by the, Bureau of Efficiency
after survey Of the Chest, the report
was signed by Herbert D. Brown, di-
rector of the Bureau of Efficiency; Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of Public
Buildings and Public Parks, and Mai.
Daniel j. Donovan, District auditor
The investigators suggested the use
Of the standard Chest pledge card in the
Government unit. They also recon-
mended that the next governmental
campaign be conducted simultaneously
with the city-wide drive in order to
derive more benefit from campaign ma
terial and publicity.
LAS result Of the survey of the
Chest Office" the group reported, I'VE
are Of the opinion that 1t & well or
gained and efficiently administered.
Only few minor changes have been
recommended.
Improvement Noted.
1.-THE Community Chest system Of
raising funds and co-ordinating the
work Of the various social, welfare and
charitable agencies Is a decided i'm
provement over the old method, where
each agency acted independently. More
over, it relieves the individual contribu-
tor of great burden of separate solicit
tationS and gives him such full in
formation as to all needs for which he
| may want to give that he can budget
his aggregate donations for each year.
These benefits to the charitably in
! clined giver have resulted In a material
| increase in the total gifts received.
The Chest system produces more ef-
fcicnt, more systematic and more eco
| nomical methods of raising and collect
ing contributions and meeting the pub
lie needs than the individual agency
system. 1t has, therefore, stimulated a
wider public interest in social, welfare
and charitable activities.
The work of the Chest office is COM
prehensive and 1t appears to cover the
field adequately at a low cost. In this
| respect, opportunity has not been Of
fered for study of the work of other
Chests, but we have been told that the
cost OF the local organization is lower
on comparative basis than that of
| many other Chests.
Criticisms Unwarranted.
Many criticisms have been heard
come few OF which are justified, but
most OF which appear to be founded
on rumor. The Chest officials are ready
and willing to receive constructive
criticism and to correct any errors
which are brought to their attention.
THE criticisms that have been heard
refer almost entirely to individual cases
or incidents rather than to the Chest
system as a whole, which is generally
accepted as being sound.
THE organization 0f the activities
and the methods followed, especially
in conducting the annual Campaign,
have been improved with each year of
experience. The officials of the Chest
are constantly on the alert and it is
reasonable to expect that still further
improvements will be made as new ex-
perience Is gained"
