cial problems, instead Of sending a
commission of economic and financial
experts
Caffery. now Assistant Secretary Of

Dean Acheson, Undersecretary Of the
Treasury, but it was said the Treas
,ury representative who will go to Cuba
had not been definitely decided upon.
Cafery takes over the Havana en-
bassy the middle of next month, chang
ing places with Sumner Welles whose
mediation figured in the events which
led up to the recent change III govern
ment in Cuba.
The idea OF sending Treasury OFF,
Cial rather than commission OF eX-
perts was decided upon with view to
avoiding any appearance OF economic
intervention IL was understood. IN
ternational usage freely provides for
the employment of a financial official
to aid an Ambassador. and it IS not
even necessary to ask the permission
of the country to which he IS sent, al
though IN THIS instance the cuban gov
'ernmentS approval has been manifested.
One of the biggest barriers to Cuban
recovery as seen here is the islands

lieved in some quarters. must be scaled
down. Another economic problem of
greatest Importance is that involving
maintenance of an adequate market for

Adjustment Made Through
Regional Agencies.

By the Associated Press.
Top-rank railroad executives who
have been receiving up to $150,000 a
year have expressed a willingness to
work for 100000 annually. Joseph B.
Eastman, Federal transportation CO.
ordinator, announced yesterday after
receiving reports from Eastern, South
ern and Western co-ordinating commit
tees in contact with rail chieftains.
This .$60.000 somewhat exceeds the
maximum which was in my mind"
Eastman commented recalling that
$4,000 was the World War peak under
Government operation.
All things considered, 1t seemed to
me. and still seems. that $4,000 is the
most that should be paid under present
conditions" he said, but added:
Upon consideration, however, I do
not regard the situation as one which
tustif1es an order on my part, for the
amounts involved are relatively insig-
nificant. The regional co-ordinating
committees have taken my entry into
this matter in good spirit"
Eastman himself frankly put the
salary question up to the carriers six
weeks ago in a statement saying there
must be an adjustment Of this matter
OF salaries before the railroads will
stand right with the shippers. invest
ors, and labor under conditions which
now exist"

The current chart shows industrial
production was almost normal during
July. That means our factories were
grinding out nearly the same amount OF
goods this season as they did during
the seasons Of 1923 to 1925, inclusive.
But they were doing it with 70 per
cent of the normal number OF workers
and so per cent of the normal pay roll

been reading from time to time are all
accurate. but they do not clearly pre-
