his association with Sammy Taran of

LITTLE SAVING SEEN
IN PARKS CONTROL
Red Tape Makes Officials OF
New Divisions Inac-
cessibIe.

Interior Department authorities yes
terday declared that costs of operating
the public buildings and public parks
organization under the Presidents re-
organization program will prevent any
appreciable savings as compared to the
old regime. They also expressed belief
that there will not be any sharp reduc-
tion in personnel at present.
Government records show that from

ONCE Of Public Buildings and Public
Parks some 327 permanent employees
left the service through death, retire.
ment. resignation or separations for in
efficiency. This resulted in a saving of
s39o,780. according to the figures. This
economy was effected before the merger
with the Interior Department took
place a little over a week ago
An amount of red tape has been in
troduced into the new system. For
merly the officials had ready access to
Col Grant or his successor, Col. James
A. Woodruff, who dealt solely with local
problems, but under the new regime the
important letters have to be signed by
the overburdened Secretary of the In
terror Harold L. Ickes weighted down
not only with the administration Of
the far-fiung Interior Department, but
with the all-important business of the
Public Works Administration. Further.
on questions of policy, the officials Of
the National Capital Parks and the
Buildings Branch, into which the old
Off1ce Of Public Buildings and Public
Parks has now been split under the
reorganization, have to consult with
Arno B. Cammerer, director of the Of
flee Of National Parks, Buildings and
Reservations, their bureau chief. or his
associate, A. E. Demaray both of whom
are concerned with Nationwide park
problems. Special rules Of correspond
ence must be followed under the In
terror Departments new regime. as
Secretary Ickes is represented as being
most particular about his correspond
ence.
The Interior Department authorities
explain that the only appreciable
savings that they can see, so far, under
the new set-up are the salaries of the
Regular Army officers who were at
tached to the Office of Public Build
ings and Public Parks. But even these
are not saved to the public. treasury,
they concede. as the officers are still
serving the Government elsewhere.

ORIENTAL MASSES
Pacific Conference Considers
Populations of China
and Japan.
BY the Associated Press.

BANFF, Alberta, August l9-Ths
problem Of what is to become Of the
large populations Of China and Japan
was again thrown into the round table
discussions today of the Pacific Rela-
tions Conference.
No clear-cut solution has yet been
suggested, although a number of ways
of alleviating the pressure Of population
have been dealt with.
Chinese and Japanese groups have
largely conducted the discussion and 1t
is evident China believes re-entry Of
Chinese into Manchukuo would offer
temporary measure Of relief.
Manohukuo Entry Issue.
The question has arisen as to whether
Japan will permit free entry of Chinese
into Manchukuo. A japanese member
suggested he believed a wide measure
Of Chinese immigration would be per-
mitted so long as there were peace and
order there and the Chinese immigrants
did not bestir themselves in politics.
Chinese member said China at
present has a huge problem on her
hands in connection with her soldiery.
Efforts are being made to educate
Chinese people al~.lg birth control lines.
and it was stated birth control probably
would make more rapid headway in
China than in Japan.
The matter of the wheat surplus in
Canada and other wheat importing
countries came before one of the groups
1t was indicated there is at least indi-
rect assistance obtainable through
banking and other financial facilities in
which the government has a part.
Textile Industry Topic.
Another round table conference
launched into a discussion of ways and
means of co-ordinating and directing
the development of the textile industry,
international airways. shippings. min
eral resources and the capital require
ments of China
During the discussion it was learned
a conference regarding competition in
the textile trade will shortly meet in
BON bay, when representatives OF the
japanese and British industry will come
together
The Japanese had made their first
advances in the export textile market
during the great war, and in 1882 went
forward with great rapidity. This was
attributed to several factors: Purchase
by japanese of two years supply of raw
cotton; depreciation of the yen: i'm
provements in technique of manufac-
ture and possible state subsidies to ship
ping. New forces had upset the Ian
cashire textile industry and large pro-
portion Of the 100000 operatives there

Administration efforts to work out an
agreement to raise prices in the Ameri-

cessful conclusion yesterday when do
mestic beet growers finally agreed to
accept a quota of 1850 900 tons
The plan of balancing supply with
demand was virtually abandoned a week
ago when the beet growers rejected all
efforts to limit their production.
They finally capitulated after two
days Of intensive discussion by a COM

Beet growers delegates came into the
agreement when their quota was in
creased from 1525,0OO tons annually
originally proposed. to 1.75OO0o tons
The committee at once began preparing
draft of the agreement. which will
be submitted to Secretary Wallace Mon

Reached Height in 1892.
Sugar beet production reached its
greatest volume in 1882, when the yield
totaled 1148, 600 tons.
Since June II last, when a confer
ence opened here of representatives OF
all elements interested in the United
States sugar market. efforts have been
directed toward an agreement pre-
scribing annual quotas for all sources
from which America obtains its sugar
lncludlng Cuba and the Philippine
Islands
Because of the unyielding opposition
OF beet growers. no agreement was
reached. and last Saturday AGRICULTURAL
adjustment administration officials rec.
ommended to Secretary Wallace that
the project be abandoned unless pro-
oucers could agree among themselves
Accordingly, separate conferences
started Monday and continued until i,
was decided to meet as a committee
OF representatives of areas affected
by the farm act
Foreign Delegates Excluded.
Philippine and Cuban delegates were
excluded under the agriculture adjust
ment act The quotas for them would
be left to administrative action.

so far has been made on the new pro-
posal. it was understood the following

WALLACE FLAYED
BY TEXTILE EDITOR
Industry Facing Stagnation and
Thousands Loss of Jobs,
Says Paper.
3y the Associated Press.


CHARLOTTE, N. c., August 19.-
David Clark. editor of the Southern
Textile Bulletin, and widely known tex
tile authority. in a statement yesterday
said Secretary Wallace's insistence upon
the floor tax and refusal to put the
processing tax upon a graduation scale
was responsible for stagnation in the
textile industry and prospective idleness
for thousands of cotton mill employees.
The stagnation of the textile indus
try and the prospective idleness of
thousands of cotton mill employees can
be placed squarely at the feet Of Secre-
tary Wallace" his statement said
He was asked to eliminate the floor
tax and to put the processing tax on a
graduated scale of one cent increase
each month so that there would be an
incentive for buyers to continue to buy,
but he arbitrarily fixed the entire proc
essing tax as a burden increase and
there is no immediate incentive for buy
ers to place oroArs except for immediate
needs.
Had the Smith Senator Ellison D.
Smith, Democrat, South Carolina) bill
been allowed to become law. it would
have prevented the excess cotton acre
age and no processing tax would have
been needed for the purchase of cotton
which had been planted"
