COAST SCANS 1883 PLANS ON
 SILK CULTURE
BY PATRICIA CLARY fWy..aA.A mm.aa GAaAa e(awaaauAauaS1.

United Press staff COFrespondent)
 Sacramento, Cal, Oct, o.-(Ur) -Col. Alexander R. Heron, staGa director of reconstruction and TO- employment, dug down in Callfor- mas muSty archieves and duSted Oft an Idea today which may proVil the state with c new industry aftGr the war.
 col. Heron, long an advocate Q. non-food uses of agricultural products, found new support fo" his theory in report from . for gotten state board of silk culture published in 1888.
 What happened to the board oI silk culture and the flourishinL silk industry 1t predicted for Cali' fornia between 1888 and 1914 lS something Colonel Heron has not found out yet, However, he believes the time has come again for an in' veStlgatlon of definite poSsibili- ties" of the industry after tho war
 Climate 10 Best
 California climate Is as equable now as it was GO years ago, hI pointed out, and the board In ies1 found 1t was the "heSt in the world" for cultivation of the mul- berry trees and the worms theni- selves particularly in that it lacks summer thunder storms, which Np- parently district a Silkworm from his business.
 A silk manufacturing Industry nothing short of immense was pro dicted by the 1883 report, which added, "The time Is not far distant when in value and importance silk and Silken fabrics will rank among (CaliforniaS) first productions"
 Col. Heron Is willing to try fol this again. He said he believes postwar expansion plans Of Call foraia apparel manufacturers might provide ready markets sol "Superfine' California silks.

Woodring Proposes
Democrats Nominate
Candidate Like Hull
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Harry H.
Woodrtng, former Secretary of War,
proposed today that the Democrats
nominate some one like Secretary OF
State Hull for President and an
nounced he would call a national
convention Of "1oyal" party men,
bers to consolidate their forces.
In speech replete with denuncia-
tions OF what he termed "the Palace
Guard" the one-time Kansas Gov
|ernor also suggested that Secretary
Hull III elected - could appoint
President Roosevelt chief of the
American delegation to the peace
conferences.
The erstwhile Roosevelt cabinet
member, comforting with associates
here on plans to bring together
party members opposed to a fourth
term for the President, defined his
views in an address before the Exec
utives' Club.
Mr.. Woodring reported he planned
to summon "all loyal Democrats" to
an early April meeting in a geo.
graphically convenient city, such as
st. Louis. He stated there was an
increasing demand for a gathering
ito re-examine the state of our
party" among millions Of Demo-
Gratis" who were out of sympathy
with the "Psiace Guard" and who
preferred the 1889 type of leader
ship exemplified by James A. Far
ley, former national chairman.
He said a determined bloc" of
loyal Democrats could approach the
forthcoming campaign with a spirit
of cooperation, might hold the bal
ance OF power and could join "any
movement that has for its purpose
the reputation of the Palace Guard
and It's philosophy of government. :"
Mr.. Woodring proposed that the
party unite "in presenting to the
Nation as its nominee for the presi-
dency such candidate as the hon.
orable Cordeu Hull" He asserted
Secretary Hull's candidacy would
be approved by every loyal Demo-
crat," and that it would regain"
support, particularly in the South
and West. He added:

hannegan Says COP
IdIed While President
Won Initiation Fight
BY the Associated Press.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. A.
Robert E. Hannegan, new chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee. last night credited the Roose-
velt administration with saving
America from the disaster of in
fation" and accused Republicans of
never Offering constructive help"
Mr.. Hannegan missed his plane
for Birmingham, and his speech, his
first formal one since he succeeded
Frank c. Walker as party chairman
January %, was read to Jackson
Day dinner by Edwin. w. Pauley
national committee treasurer.
"The Democratic administration
and the opposition" Mr.. Hannegan
said, now have a clear-cut record
on the issue Of imitation control. We
make the statement that We saved
the country from the disaster of in
flation.
I'VE call on the record to convict
the opposition on this score-to con-
vict them of never offering con-
structive help, Of never pointing to
a better or more efficient way, of al
ways and forever scolding and be-
littling."
Heretofore, Democrats have en-
phasized the Presidents -the-war
appeal. But Mr.. Hannegan devoted
much space to domestic questions.
Nov I know there are incon-
veniences," he said, II know there
are scarcities, I know many people
are annoyed by restrictions on their
routine of living. I also know, and
the patriotic people of America
know, that we must all make sac
rifices to preserve our country.
"The opposition must answer to
the charge Of making capital of the
inconvenience necessitated bv such
things as rationing and price con-
troll. 1t has sought to turn the la
borer against the farmer, and the
farmer against the city dweller."

u. S.-Mexican treaty
Calls for Mutual Use
|W Rivers Waters
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States and Mexico
yesterday signed q treaty relating
to the conservation and mutual use
of the waters Of the Rio Grande
and the Colorado and Tijuana
Rivers. The State Department
called 1t "a step Of epic Importance"
In the application of the good
neighbor policy.
The 17-mile- long Tijuana River
winds along the Mexican California
border and enters the Pacific about
two miles north of the border. It
has tributaries in both Lower Cali.
fornia and California.
The treaty provides for construc-
ton OF large conservation, storage
and hood-protection works on the
Rio Grande between Fort Quitman.
Tex, and the Gulf of Mexico. This
Government will explore also the
possibilities of power generation at
international hydroelectric plants.
The two governments agree,
under the treaty, to undertake the
construction of new works along
the Colorado River to bring it
under still better control for the
benefit OF agricultural, municipal
and industrial uses"
There were indications, meanwhile.
that the treaty might hit a snag in
the Senate. Senator Downey, Demo-
crat, of California asserted In a
statement that he would "use every
effort" to protect the interests Of
his State.
California interests declared South.
ern California would suffer greatest
from additional diversion of COL
orado River waters and said it would
be unfair to give Mexico more water
than she was using prior to con-
struction of Boulder Dam.
Senator Downey described the
Colorado River as "the only major
source of water supply for Southern
California and the great empire to
develop there" He said he had
conferred by telephone with Presi-
dent Roosevelt concerning the treaty.
The treaty was signed for the
United States by Secretary of State
Hull, George S. Messersmith, Am
bassador to Mexico, and Lawrence
M. Lawson, United States commis-
s1oner on the International Bound-
airy Commission. Mexico's signatories
were Ambassador Francisco Castillo
Na1era, and Rafael Fernandez Mac
Gregor, Mexican representative on
the boundary commission.
The pact is to take force on the
day of the exchange of ratifications
and at that time the present bound
ary commission will become a newly
constituted group known as the In
ternational Boundary and Water
Commission, United States and
Mexico.
