The worlds fair has meant

Chicago and probably a business

PRESIDENT BEGINS WORK ON
FEDERAL BUDGET; ESTIMATE
OF RELIEF NEEDS is MADE
Tells Press That Stories He Will Ask For Sums Rang

Purely Conjectural

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. (UP)
The immensely of the federal re-
lief burden concerned President
Roosevelt last night as he began
work on the federal budget.
The first of the various bureau
and department reports upon
which Mr.. Roosevelt will base his
budget estimates was submitted
by Federal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins.
1t assured Mr. Roosevelt that
every effort was being made to
see that all foodstuffs purchased
with federal dollars was being di-
verified only to the needy unem-
ployed. The report accounted for
the disposition of surplus farm
products bought by the FERA.
The chief executive emphasized
again yesterday at a press con-
ference that all reports that he
planned to ask congress for be-
tween $5,OOO,00O,OOO to $11, 000,-
100000 for various relief units
and projects, were purely specu-
lative.
He smiled as he told the story
of a recent visitor who asked for
verifcation of reports that the
government contemplated a 120-
year public works program. The
President assured his caller that
such a program already was in
effect-black walnut trees had
been planted and it would require
100 years for them to mature.
The real work on the budget
cannot begin, the President told
newspapermen, until he receives

CONFERENCE
Japanese Would Not Build
to Limits of Parity If
Agreement Made
BIGGER u. S. NAVY
IS SWANSON'S GOAL
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. 1.-(UP).-
The three major naval powers
Great Britain, the United States
and Japan-will continue their
hitherto futile conferences on sea
strength at least until late this
month, it was revealed last night.
At the conclusion of a long
session yesterday between Ameri-
can and japanese delegates, it
was officially announced that
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon-
aid had invited the American del
egation to lunch with him at his
country estate, Chequers, on No
vember II. The invitation would
not have been issued, it was real
lied, unless it was certain the Dip
lomats still would be in London.
Yesterdays Acknowledgements
conference ended at $50 p. M,
after certering around a techni-
cal discussion regarding the actual
application of Japan's theory of
naval equality. The japanese ex-
planned in greater detail their
definition of offensive and defen-
sive warcraft.
It was understood the Ameri-
cans took issue with Tokyo's ex-
PLANTATION of offensive weapons,
and that they particularly disput-
ed the Japanese contention that
submarines are defensive ships.
After the meeting, American
delegates described the conference
as ''inconclusive" but japanese
delegate told the United Press
that in his opinion progress has
been made"
1t was learned that for the first
time the japanese made the Off
cial declaration that if they are
granted parity with Great Britain
and the United States, they do
not actually intend to build up
to that limit, stressing the factor
that "prestige" is involved in
their claim to equality.
In this connection, the Japa-
nese and American views are
again at complete variance, the
United States authorities insisting
that the Washington treaty &C
tually gave Japan equality.
Norman Davis will visit Sir
John Simon, foreign minister, at
his office today, to discuss both
the naval and the Geneva disarm-
ament situations. Both japanese
and United States delegates will
be guests of Macdonald at lunch,
at 10 Downing Street today. Thus
a social device" has solved the
problem of calling a round-table
conference.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. (UP)
"A warship construction pro,
gram and an increase in enlisted
personnel will be asked G. the next
congress regardless of the out
come of the London Naval CONVEX
sations, Secretary of the Navy
Claude A. Swanson said yesterday.
New ships are required to
bring the navy up to the treaty
strength, but Swanson did not re-
veal the number of craft sought.
The navy, with $4,000 men now,
will need between $4,000 and 3d.
900 during the next three years,
he said.

legislation and longtime educa,
tional planning at the National

general feeling seems to be that
a change in administrations

CHAIN STORES
REPORT READY
FOR CONGRESS
Federal Trade to Ask "HiI"
For Legislation; 6 Years
Given Over to Probe
Bv International News Service

By International News Service
The giant chain store empire
whose phenomenal growth has
loomed like an octopus to the
Independent storekeeper, laby-
rinthing the country and collect
ing $10,74O,385,20 in sales in
1929, is going to be cited to the
new Congress for possible Govern
ment regulation.
The Federal Trade Commission
submitted to the Senate today its
final report on its six.year inves-
tigation of the chain store busi-
ness. Next week it will report its
conclusions and recommendations
"for legislation, together with dis
cusSion Of legal remedies"
Competition among the various
chain store systems (there were
7,061 of them in 1929 operating
1858 stores, or about 10 per
cent of all the retail stores in the
country supplemented by that OF
the independent stores, would
seem to negative monopoly by any
individual chain," the commission
said, but added this:
ut is possible that monOpO-
liStic condition might be estab-
lished in a given section of the
country and not for the cOun-
try as a whole"
Under the principles of the
Supreme Court, the report said,
a concern may do all the busi-
ness in it's field and have no CON-
petition without infringing the
Sherman law. The commission
said the Sherman laws broad pro-
hibition against monopoly has
been reduced by court interpreta-
ton "to mean that only actual,
as distinguished from potential,
monopoly, is unlawful, and that
the mere possession of power in
the absence of overt acts indica-
ting an illegal use thereof is not
a violation of this statute"
The Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Co., the Kroger Grocery g.
Bakery Co., and the Safeway
Stores, Inc, were named as the
larger chain systems. In 1890
they operated nearly $4,000 retail
groceries and their total sales were
almost $1,6O0,000,000. The A. &
P operated 1878 stores, with total
sales of $61, 1,065, 900, 900.

When a baby reaches six
months of age in Prince Georges
county his parents are to be
urged to have him innoculated
against diphtheria under a plan
adopted by DR.. A. B. Hooton,
county health officer.
Three of the four deaths in
the county last year from the
disease were among pre-school
children, pointing to the fact the
most important time to protect
children against diphtheria is in
their infancy, he says. From
birth records on file, names of
parents are to be taken, so when
child reaches the danger point,
parents may be reminded of the
fact.
To determine what elementary
school children compose the suS-
ceptible group, the department
