GENEVA, September 16.-The results

covery program were described today as
distinctly encouraging by Harold Butler,
head of the International Labor Bureau.
I'VE are intensely interested in the
success of recovery measures in the
United States" he said in an inter-
view, because that success will have a
great. and perhaps decisive, effect on
the general recovery of the world.
up to now it is evident the meas
ures taken have achieved substantial
degree of success, unemployment has
been diminished and. consequently. al
though there still are great d ficulties
to overcome, the results NAV be re-
garded as distinctly encouraging.
Butler added that the bureau has
just sent to the American Government
a QUESTIONABLE such as was sent to
all countries, which are to be the bases
of the 1884 labor conference on the re-
duction of hours.
I'VE hope to receive a statement from
the United States to submit to the con-
ference" Butler said
His bureau is about to publish in
three languages the various codes OF
American industries. A number OF
countries have asked for them.

Reports that Theodore A. Walters,

tary Of the Interior, may hand his
resignation to his Republican chief
Secretary Ickes, provided a new devel-

Despite Walters own smiling COM
ment that Il have no present intention
of resigning." friends in congressional
quarters attributed the resignation ru-
mors to the authority exercised in the
department by E. K. Burlew. former
aide to Secretary Wilbur.
Relying on Burlew.
Senatorial circles said Ickes was re-
lying on Burlew, his administrative as

Walters Is chairman OF the Idaho
Democratic Committee. Democratic
Senators recently have critiZed the pa
tronage attitude of Ickes.
Burlew, a native of Sunbury, Pa,
came to Washington % years ago. un-
der civil service rules, and first was in
the War Department. For five years
he was secretary to an Assistant Post
master General under President Will
son.
He went to the Interior Department

as assistant to Secretary Wilbur.

CREDIT CAMPAIGN !
RECEIVES BIG TEST
Experiment to Decide Value
of Central Bank Money
Control Theory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 16.-The
theory of central bank monetary man.
agement is receiving supreme test in
the credit expansion program of the
Feoeral Reserve System.
The theory that the central banking
system can control price levels and
business activity through manipulation
OF the volume of credit has received
rude shocks in recent years.
Again and again the Reserve System
has attempted to arrest the depression
by making credit cheap. 1t IS now en-
gagged in its second vigorous campaign
Of pumping credit into the open market
by purchasing Government securities.
Impatience Is Noted.
Impatience with the course of the
present experiment is evidenced in the
urgings in some Washington quarters
the offer Of the r. F. c. to loan banks
1000, 100000 at 3 per cent and advice
to the banks to take advantage Of the
r. F. c. offer to provide additional
funds by purchasing their preferred
shares.
Nevertheless, the Reserve Systems
operations have now piled excess re-
serves OF member EankS to the un-
precedented total of S7000 ,00G. These
reserves are earning the banks no in
tereSt. Proponents of the program be-
lieVe the profit motive alone will even
tually drive bankers to find sound bor-
rowerS.
The Reserve Systems holdings of
United States Governments began to
swell rapidly in mid-August From
81. .058, 1853 900 on August Is. the volume
has been swelled to s2202, 100000 this
week.
Better Chance Is Seen.
But this is mere starter compared
to the open-market campaign of the
Reserve System in 1892 Between Feb
ruary and August of that year it took
off the market sl,100,0O0, 900 in Federal
securities.
The 1882 experiment was credited by
sympathetic economists with checking
the severe decline in prices in June Of
that year
That campaign. however, ran head
long into the banking crisis early this
year, SO its proponents assert that it
can scarcely be regarded as a fair trial.
The present campaign economists
point out. would seem to have a bet
ter chance of success
The theory of credit expa nsion as
stimulus to business is still highly con-
troversial however. Many bankers as
sert it puts the cart before the horse.
They say that merely making credit
available cannot make business better.
