today the Treasury's March Is financ-
ing will aggregate $1,000 100000, of
which $500, 100000 will be new cash

Immediate Needs.
Morgenthau said his advisers had
told him the immediate needs" of
the department would amount to
about $500 900, 900, the amount of the
new money sought. All items of ex-
penditure were figured in the esti-
mates, he said, including the soldiers
bonus.
I'VE are getting our house in order
to handle the bonus as expeditiously
as possible" Morgenthau said.
The bills, which mature March Is,
carried no conversion rights, Morgen-
thau said, as he considered it not
good fiscal policy to give holders of
such short-term paper the right of
conversion. ~"
New Issues March Is.
Morgenthau would not indicate the
nature of the paper to be offered
in exchange for the notes which
mature next April, nor would he
discuss details of the financing, which

morning. The new issues will be
dated March IS.
The term new money" is employed
at the Treasury to denote additional
cash borrowed to meet Government
costs as distinguished from borrowing
assigned to retirement or refunding
of outstanding debts.

AMENDMENT BILL
Proposes Power for Congress
Regulation of Marketing
of Farm Products.

BY the Associated Press.
A resolution proposing a constitu-
tional amendment to give Congress full
power to regulate the sale and market
ing of agricultural commodities was
introduced in the Senate today by
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota.
The North Dakotan's proposed
amendment would insert in the Con-
stitution the following words:
Congress shall have the power to
regulate the sale and marketing of all
agricultural commodities.
In the light of the many conflict
ing decisions" Nye told newspaper men
off the floor, cit seems high time to
clearly define the right of Congress to
deal with this national agricultural
problem"
HIS amendment would not be opera
tive unless ratified by three-fourths Of
the States within seven years. A two
thirds majority is is'required in each
house to submit constitutional amend
nents to the States. Senator Logan,
Democrat, of Kentucky has introduced
an amendment which would give Con-
gress power to regulate not only agri-
culture, but industry.

MILWAUKEE,, February 27-E. w
Peck, counsel for the Cleaning and

600 persons, have agreed to close in

servicing while there Is any labor
dispute in progress, and the public
cannot afford to assume the risk Of

RooseveIt's Writers Near
DeadIine, April |, With
End Far Off.
BY REX COLLIER.

Although they have made sensa-
tional findings both critical and COM
mandatory of the N. R. A., historians
assigned by President Roosevelt to
write comprehensive obituary of the
late Blue Eagle are nearing their April
l deadline with the job less than half
completed.
Apparently many Of these revela-
tions are destined to remain officially
buried along with Gen. Hugh John
sons famous Blue Eagle-including a
certain confidential report branding
the wholesale trade codes as sorry
failures and another one declaring the
retail codes gave scant consideration
to labor.
The President directed that the
study be made "for publication and
use by the President" There have
been published reports that Secretary
Roper intended to suppress" the find
ings of the historians. but friends Of
the Secretary deny he is responsible
for the delay in preparing the study.
They claim he inherited half-com-
pleted task that is almost impossible
of completion in the short time left
for the work.
The wholesale report, it Is learned
by The Star, does not make good
reading for supporters of the Blue
Eagle. as it claims the upswing in
employment in wholesale trades fell
of sharply after the industry was
codified, and that the average wage
during the first year Of the wholesale
code was 4.8 per cent below the aver
age of October, 1888.
They would find comfort, however,
in findings of the same investigator
that business failures among whole
sale houses decreased more than 80
per cent and net estimated sales i'm
proved per cent after the codes be-
came effective.
Champions of the N. r. A. would be
glad to know, Furthermore, that after
the retail codes were promulgated
there was an increase in department
store, variety store and mail order
store sales. employment in the in
dustry increased to a point only Z

TOXIC, February % (Friday).-
After two days OF the gravest crisis
in a generation, Toxic slept easier il,
the early hours today, confident that
rebel soldiers who assassinated four
government dignitaries Wednesday
would be back in their barracks with
in few hours.
The soldiers capitulated last night
to a government request that they
quit police headquarters where they
had barricaded themselves in de-
fance of loyal troops.
The threat of bloodshed in the
capitals streets was averted.
Ranking military authorities said
they were confident that danger was
past since, under an arrangement be-
tween the rebels and the war office.
the former promised to return to their
barracks and retain their arms, there
by escaping the dishonor of being
disarmed.
The insurgents began before mid
night the evacuation of the buildings
they occupied.
That quarter of the city was shut
off from all outside observers, behind
soldiers armed with rifles and fixed
bayonets.
Meanwhile. surviving leaders of the
empire, members of the cabinet of the
assaSsinated Premier Keisuke Okada,
supreme war councillors and other
high militarists, convened at Hirohito's
palace to select new premier.
ChichIbu Is Peacemaker.
Prince Chichibu, the eldest of the
Emperor's three brothers, was authori-
tatively credited with being one of
the chief reasons why the rebels
gave in, since the prince, who took
part in the negotiations, is personally
known by many of the rebels.
Prince Chichibu made a long train
trip from Aomori Prefecture, where he
is an officer in the arrny's eighth di-
vision. to take part in the councils
of the government.

Canadian Civil Seruice Obuidtes
Job Wrangle, Says Official Here
Commission Chairman, -,
Charles III. Bland.
Makes u. S. Study.
Postal and Excise Serr.
ices Held Benefited by
Merit System.

Harassed American officialdom, be-
sieged by job hunters. might be in
terested to learn that patronage is
only a minor issue in the Canadian
government establishment.
This information comes from
Charles H. Bland. chairman OF the
Canadian Civil Service Commission.
who is making a study Of civil service
practices in this country. He arrived
yesterday.
In Canada-reversing the procedure
in this country-all poetmasterships
except those in the very small offices
are under civil service. and the same
goes for excise officials, corresponding
generally to collectors of customs and
internal revenue in the United States,
which shift with administrations.
Civil Service Extended.
While civil service has long pre-
vailed to some extent in Canada. it
was only in 1918. as war measure,
that it was extended to cover the
major portion OF government employ
ment. Then Parliament brought the
rank and file of the workers-about
36 ,000-into the competitive merit
system This covered all the best
positions. but left about $4,000 on
an appointive basis.
Mr. Bland is of the opinion that
postal and excise services have bene-
fitted by becoming career agencies, De-
cause, as he points out. even the hum
blest workers feel they have an op-
portunity to reach the top. The rea-
son the smaller post Offices are
exempt, he explained, is that there is
generally no competition for these
positions.
Like the United States, Canada has
set up sCme new agencies during the
last two or three years and-the COM
parison still continues-they are not
civil service groups.
Three on Commission.
However, they are considered only
as temporary propositions and the

status under which they were created
drew no particular attention.
The Canadian commission. pat
termed on the British civil service. is
composed of three members chosen
for a term of 10 years and without
any relation to party Affiliations. Mr..
Bland has been Is years on the
Canadian commission: was chief
examiner for IL: has been commits
sioner for the last three years and
chairman for the last year. He was
the first to rise from the ranks.
The commissioners there get $4,000
annually-the chairman gets $1,000
as compared to $500 in the United
States
The Canadian commission also has
fag more power than the American or
ganization. as it directly appoints gov
ernment employees instead of certify
ing eligible lists to the departments
themselves to make their selections.
The commission also functions as an
advisory body to the government on
expenditures, something on the order
