BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE., There is deeper significance than appears on the surface in the arrival of ropcan cotton trade Tep- Dresentatives for conference with b Department of Agriculture. The Frrittsh are disturbed over what strikes them as an attempt to trans- fer control of the world's cotton mar- ket from Liverpool to Washington. A situation not unlike that created Ly the Supreme Court's ruling re-| warding liquor on foreign ships has | arisen. In that case, Kurope sees an Ameri attempt to regulate its morals. In the cotton standards con- troversy, Great Britain and France discern an effort to supervise their textile industry. They are frankly afraid they'll get no further with the cotton affair than with the liquor Lasine: The United States in both instances takes its stand on acts of Congress, which mandatory in aracter and admit of no modifica- n at foreign behest Britain Ma Concerned. It is Great Britain which is mainly concerned. Liverpool is not only the greatest importer of American cotton. but the center from which orld cotton p fixed. Toward the end of the sixty-seventh Congress law was pa which failed to arouse much interest, although it af- fects vitally the commodity which ranks foremost in Ameri export trade.

HIDIADL { United | menacing { Senool, long in vogue in Liverpool. The Liv- erpool Cotton Association has created a certain standard of classification, and so has the United States govern- ment. Although identical phraseol- ogy about “middlin “lower mid- dling” and other trade terms is in vogue on both sides, the grade Is not the same. Liverpool “lower middling.” for ex- ample, 1s of a slightly higher qualit than American lower middling. Hitherto this has not caused confu- | sion, because long trade practice has accustomed the American shipper to what his British custdmer wants, and the Britisher knows what he's going to get. Once in a while, when cotton arrives from the United States that isn’t up to standard, an arbitration ommittee, officially appointed by the Liverpool Cotton Association, and on which both shipper and buyer have SXpert ‘representatives, settles the ispute. ¥or decades this scheme has worked out to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. The British do not see why it should be abolished or what ad- vantages anybody will get out of its abandonment Effective August 1. The new law goes into effect in the States on August 1. That date marks the beginning of the cot- ton shipping season. The British tex tile trades regarded the situation so from their standpoint that decided to send a delegation enting _Liverpool cotton im- and_Manchester spinning in- to Washington to take the up personally and directly Secretary Wallace.

West was ed to resign asagent of the board ildren’s guardians because of insistence on the removal of wards from the Industrial Home Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, vice- president of the board, has come out in defense of the former agent. Mrs svenor also asserts in her statement that the board will spend $60.000 less during the fiscal year drawing to a close than it did prior to Mrs. West's appointment as agent. Statement by W. W. Millan. Following acceptance of Mrs. W requested resignation last week. President W. W. Millan made public a statement in which the board made it clear that it is not opposed to plac- ing the city’s wards in good private homes, but that it does propose to use the industrial school as Congress intended, namely as a receiving place where the boys and girls may be studied. . Mrs. Grosvenor in her statement de- tailed_the work that had come under Mrs. West's supervision, and by cit- ing several examples ' of children aced with other homes. declared such cases would show that, in the nature of its work, the board of children’s guardians is a_home-mak ing and not a home-breaking agency. Mrs. Grosvenor said she was a mem- ber of the board for several years before Mrs. West was agent and that she tial knowledge, speak of the im- provement in the condition of our rds which she (Mrs. West) has brought about.” Not Enough White V sertiig that “we have no white wards to justify aintenance of the Industriai Home chool. Mrs. Grosvenor ventured to predict that the time will come ve: soon when the District Commission- ers and Congress will unite in recom- mending that this property be used for some other purpose. She said she did not see where the children to fill the home school are coming from “unless Judge Sellers of the Juvenile Court commits a great many more children to the board in the future than she is now doing, or unless they are taken from the pr vate homes where they now are ad- vantageou placed.” One of the “outstanding accomplish- ments of Mrs. West's work,” contin- ued Mrs. Grosvenor. “has been the development of a large number of white boarding homes. There are to- white children in eighty-four homes,” she said, “showing that no charge of overcrowding could truth- fully be made.” FLAT TIRE?

The board of education vesterday afternoon steered clear of the im- pending controversy over the loca tion of the addition to Western High! School by deferring its approval of | either of the two proposed pla one recommending the construction of the new building in front of thej present structure and the other in the; rear. It is the intention of the board, however, to commit itself, but it was made clear that action will be taken only after a careful analysis of both plans. Communications from the District Engineer Commissioner and the Com- | mission of Fine Arts outlining the ad- | vantages of each plan precippated the discussion. The Engineer Com- missioner ‘favored placing the addi- tion in front of the present building, pointing out that this plan would give classroom space 32 per cent more | value. The Fine Arts Commission, on | the othter hand, contended that by | constructing the addition in the rear the beautiful landscape of which Western boasts would be preserved. Awaits Board Action. The Engineer Commissioner assured the board that actual construction of the annex would not be undertaken until the board had expressed itself. The indication was given that the engineer department is taking a strietly utllitarian view. The Engineer Comimssioner's letter sald: ] The question to be decided is: Shall the District of Columbia change its policy, as evidenced by the conserv- ative setting of Eastern High School, or shall it start with, Western High hool and in the future sacrifice | hool facilities for landscape settings of debatable extravagance?’ | It was pointed out in the letter! that while the gymnasiums for boys | and girls would be provided in the rear | location, a much better one for boys could be puilt in the front addition. The auditorlum would be ‘“about; equal,” in efther case, although the | monumentsd entrance provided by | the front scheme would be much more satisfactory than the casual entrance ! that would be necessitated if'the new construction were carried out at the rear. Favor Front Site. “By placing the auditorium in the front,” the letter added, “a much bet ter building may be obtained archi tecturally than by retaining the pres. ent front.” t the outset of the discussion.
