PRINTING TRADES
 PROTEST CHANGE
Imported Matter Included in Proposed Trade Agree
 ment; Hull to Consider
(Special to The Democrat

Washington, D. C., March 23-Op- position from Connecticut to ratl- fication of the International Copy right treaty and to reduction in the duty on imported printed mat ter, cotton, and woolen textiles in the proposed trade agreement with the United Kingdom, were studied today by state department officials.
 The complaints came from L. K. Lotker, chairman of the Apprentice committee, Bridgeport Typographl- cal union, No. 252, and Charles D.. Tatem, of the J. M. Tatem Handle Co.,, Eastford, Conn.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull has assured Senator Lonergan that protests would be carefully conSid- cred, but has pointed out that no definite decision has yet been made to reduce the duty on these items. Although certain types of these products are included in the list on which the United States may con- sider the possibility of granting con- sessions to the United Kingdom, Secretary Hull informed Senator Lonergan that briefs submitted by protesting groups are being care fully analysed by his experts.
 The state department took care to point out that the pending gen. eral copyright convention has noth- ing whatever to do with import duties. Its approval by the senate could not affect tariff rates. The American tariff takes no account of the existence or non-existence of copyright, and would apply to the products of authorship just as it does now.

MEXICO TESTS COOP SCHEME
 IN CANE AREA
Workers in Sugar Plant Share in Management
 of Industry
By WILLIAM H. LANDER 'nited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Zacatepec, Mexico, March g. CUP)-Here in the sub-tropical plains of the southern state of Morelos rises the huge "Emiliano Zapata Sugar Centrap-one of the tangible achievements of the Six Year Plan.
 The 767-mile Pan American High way linking Laredo, Tex, and Mexico City is one of the most spectacular pieces of engineering completed since President Lazaro Cardenas took office in November, 1884. Construction of the road, how ever, was well advanced at that time. It was inaugurated on July 4, 1886.
 The sugar plant was planned, built, inaugurated and put into operation under Carenas. It Is socialistic scheme, to be operated in the form of cooperative, with cane-cutters and mill workers sit- ting in the management council with government representatives, who look after the interests of banks which put up the money.
 St. Louis Engineers Aided
 Engineers from St. Louis col- laborated with Mexican experts in planning and construction work. Cost was about $3,611,111. The most modern machinery from the United States, Germany and Great Britain was imported. Little locomotives built in Hamburg haul the sugar. crane trains.
 The mill can handle 5000 tons of cane every "A hours. It is the biggest in Mexico-surpassing the one at Fl Mante, in Ciudad Juarez, whose big Smokestack on the west side of the Pan American highway is a landmark for thousands of American tourists. Zacatepec is not the biggest mill in the world, but 1t probably is the most modern.
 Some tourists complain that they come to Mexico and see only Aztec, Toltec and Mayan ruins, colonial buildings and churches, and a few revolutionary school houses and lots of modernistic murals, but see little of what is going on in an industrial way. A visit to zacatepec, however, is different. The trip from Cuerna- vaca to zacatepec tages about 50 minutes by car. It is an impressive sight. After going through gray VOL canic vestiges for fe wmiles, sud- denly a broad plain, green with sugarcane, emerges.
 Ruins of Old Mill
 As the village is approached, there appears an old colonial aqueduct- reminiscent of the one the Romans built in the heart of Castle, at Se- govia, Spain. Impressive are the ruins of the Spanish-built sugar mill, which Emiliano Zapata, now one of the most controversial figures in modern Mexican history, burned when his horde sWooped down on this regions and massacred the landowners and their Spanish fore men. Walls of the mill still stand, and the doors, and window frames were built in tn estyle of Moorish arch, which is a near-replica of the ones in the Mosque of Cordoba.
 For years there was nothing but ruin around here-and the land, which is among the best sugarcane soil in the world, was utilized for planting rice and corn. The peas ants wanted something they could eat without having to go through complicated refining and marketing processes.

This IVA was proposed by Pres ident Roosevelt in 1883, as "a corp oration clothed with the power or government but possessed ot the flexibility and initiative Of a prl- vate enterprise. It should be charged with the broadest duty of planning for the proper use, conservation, and development of the natural re- sources of the basin for the general social and economic welfare of the nation. This Authority should also be clothed with the necessary power to carry these plans into et- feet"
 Reviewing First Five Years
 That is a good statement of what was done shortly afterward by con- eress in creating the IVA. It has been functioning now for five years, and although its plans look forward for 20, 50, 200 years, what actually has been done in these first hVe may properly be reviewed.
 First, IVA put in shape and i'm proved for actual operation the old Muscle Shoals plant, including the Nitrate Plant No. 2 which had cost $7O0OO,0OO. Some $3O0,oOO has been spent theer for improvements and additions, making the plant ready for possible wartime use III producing phosphorus, in addition to it's present functions in river con- trol, navigation locking, power pro- duction, and fertilizer manufacture and experiment.
 Flood Control Benefits
 Second, the great Norris Dam on the Clinch river and the Joe Wheel CT Dam on the Tennessee, have been completed. The former has cost al- most s37,OOO00O, the latter $3O,ooO,- 900 to date.
 Within month after Norris Dame was completed in the spring of 1886, its value in fiood-control was tested Experts are certain that stopping the flow of the Clinch at Norris prevented $750,000 worth o1 damage at Chattanooga alone.
 In the disastrous floods of Jan- uary, 1887, IVA experts believe their combined operations on the Ten nessee reduced the Ohio river flood crest by six inches at Cairo, where the waters were barely held back by

temporary mud box on top of the levee.
 Had the levee broken, $15 100000 in damages would have followed IVA believes any insurance con- pany would have been glad to all low $1,500000 for six inches differ ence in the later level at Cairo al that moment.
 S14O, 100000 Worth of Dams
 Third, the IVA has almost fin ished the Pickwick Landing Dam which is 90 per cent complete at a cost to date of about $3O,000,000, is storing water and having it's power generating equipment installed at present.
 The Guntersville Dam is half fin ished ($20,000,o00, Chickamauga Dam Is about 36 per cent complete ($l5 5,500,000), and Hiwassee Dam is g per cent finished ($4,700,0OO).
 A million and half has been put into preliminary work surveying and planning the proposed Gilbertsville Dam, now regarded as the key tt the whole system.
 Thus an overwhelming propor- tion of TWAS total expenditures have gone for actual construction of river dams and their adjuncts.
 All these engineering works as such have been carried on with re- markable efficiency, and there has been virtually no criticism of the construction of the completed works as engineering projects. In fact, en- gineers and writers from all over the world are constantly coming to see them and departing with admir- ation.
 Small Washington Staff
 The IVA now has 11,181 en- ployes, only 10 of whom are in Washington, making it certainly the smallest capital staff of any great government agency. At Knoxville headquarters there are almost 1000. On individual projects there are 1000 at Chattanooga, 1000 at Chick amauga, 1900 at Guntersville, 700 at Hiwassee, 1,700 at Pickwick, 200 at Wilson, the remainder scattered about the Valley area.
 Nearly 10000 families are now getting IVA power through muni- cipalities, co-operatives and direct. IVA received for this power $1,- 233,091 from July l, 1897, to Jan- uary 31, 1888. This income is grow. ing. For February, 1888, it was $199,- 421, compared to $91 ,038 in February 1887.
 About 2,9O0 miles of rural cleo tric lines are being operated to dis tribute this IVA power
 River Traffic Increased
 The dream of river transport has been realized to some extent and large steamers have come up the Tennessee as far as Muscle Shoals. River traffic on the Ten nessee has already exceeded pre-de- pression levels, and many waterfront sites have been bought by private companies, anticipating heaver traf- fic in future.
 More than 50000,O00 trees have been set in fight against erosion and 4,5O0 farms have been check-dam- med or otherwise protected against too rapid runoff.
 In IT states, 24,OOO test-demon- stration farms are trying out su- perphosphate plant foods developed by IVA and made in the electric furnace at Wilson Dam, Valuable experimentation on producing phos- phate plant-foods has been carried out, and reserves of phosphate rock have been bought for the govern. ment. More than 80000 tons of superphosphate plant food has been produced and distributed. ,

More than 100000 acres of land have been bought for the dams and surrounding developments at prices that would average around $50 an acre. More than 5000 families whose homes stood in the way of the de- velopments were bought out and aided in re-establishing themselves elsewhere.
 Two IVA nurseries at Clinton and Wilson Dam produced 18,600,- 900 tree seedlings during the past fiscal year alone.
