: nom the diary Of Spaniard, who
Md there. He mentions planting
uinespples, peach and fig trees on
I morning In 1913. The soil and
climate proved so propitious for its

woody fiber, but had q pleasing
favor, and it was not long until it
vas picked un-ripened and shipped

atdactory, as much of the fruit
poiled on the long journey.
In 1852, Captain John Kidwell
IN English horticulturist, arrived
n Honolulu. He found that the
fruit Of the Wild pineapple grew
larger on cultivation, but still re-
NAMED acid and woody, so he Inn
ported from Jamaica slips Of q var
iesy called the Smooth Sayenne. He
also obtained slips Of thirty-one 9TH

enns was far superior to the others
and Is now the variety Of pineapple
usually grown commercially in the
Hawaiian Islands.
The only difficulty was the quick
potlage Of the fruit, so the obvious
answer was to can the fruit, and in

Munitions Board to
Vote on Sale Again

President Roosevelt yesterday
disclosed the Munitions Control
Board will meet very soon to set
its records straight respecting
heliun exports to Germany.
Indications were the board will
formally vote again on the helium
export license it issued in January
in order to obviate possibility Of
a German damage claim against
this Government for failure to
deliver the gas.
The President said nobody knew
whether the January license, voted
by proxies Of the six Cabinet mem
bers on the board, was legal or
illegal. Interior Secretary Ickes
contends it was illegal.
At the impending meeting, Ickes
is expected to cast against the
license the vote he asserted was
ignored at the previous meeting.
The President, who previously
had said he was powerlesS to in
terfere with Ickes' blockade of
the helium sale, yesterday told
newSmen the law was explicit in
requiring a unanimous vote Of
the board on helium questions.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May II
U.N.SO. Business, labor and
Government share equally the
blame for the recession which be
gan last year, in the opinion OF
Mariner S. EccleS, chairman OF
the Federal Reserve Board.
Business capitalized on a
sellers market and in many
instances advanced prices more
than was justified by increased
COSTS" Eccles told the New Jer-
sey Bankers Association con-
vention. Organized labor, in
many cases, sought to increase
wages and decrease hours faster
than efficiency and this resulted
in rising unit costs. The rapid
decrease in net Government
expenditures was unstabilizing."
Eccles speech was a defense OF
Government pump-priming.
AS to processes for recovery,
EccleS asserted:

organism react on each other
and only by united action unde-

with the support Of the organi-
cations of business, finance,

Oil Land
Leases

G.N.sO. Control BY large oil
companies Of petroleum activities
under public-land oil.leasing laws
was ended today by Secretary Of
Interior Ickes in approving an
official ruling of Commissioner
Fred w. johnson, of the General
Land Office.
The ruling restricts the amount
OF acreage available for develop.
ment under leases by the com.
panies on the public domain, even
before discovery Of oil or gas, and
is retroactive.
The ruling is designed to afford
greater opportunity for small In.
dependent producers to enter
more favorable petroleum fields,
and to provide additional methods
of preventing waste or overproduc-
ton Of the nations oil resources
in California, New Mexico and
Wyoming.
Under the prospecting law Of
1920, discovery and development
OF the nations oil resources was
pursued by issuance Of twoyear
permits to prospectors, who
usually leased to large oil com.
panies, thereby setting no limita-
ton on the number of prospecting
areas which companies might
control.

To counter-attack reports that

The butter was to be distributed
at six pounds per family per

INEFFICIENCY ADMITTED
Mr.. Early today declared that
the present situation is far from

said, finds that many things
which our embassies regard as
