PHILIPPINE SURVEY Detailed, Up-to-Date Report Will Fully Reveal Islands’ Potentialities. BY WALTER ROBB. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily MANILA, September 20 —Col A. Thompson, who has been making a survey of the Philippine Islands as the personal representative of President Coolidge, says he has no further fmportant statements to make | regarding his investigation until his report s made to the President, save a brief farewell upon his departure for China October 4. Nearly ever since his arrival in the tslands large sections of the person- nel of government bureaus have been solely detafled preparing data reply- ing to his questionnaires. These questionnaires have the earmarks having been prepared by Wa ton’s most expert men, and bureau chiefs infer that they were prepared | by Secretary Hoover'¥® department. | - The replies when compiled. Col. Thompson has said, will be a part of the most comprehensive survey of the Philippine Islands ever made. The in- formation on economic_resources is brought up to date. For example, the Bureat of Lands' reports are complete to August 31, from date of | organization, July, 1903. During this 23 vears nearly 179,000 applications have been made for par- cels from homesteads of 40 acres up to plantations of 2,500 acres from the United States public domain. The area involves about 7,000,000 acre: of the total domain of about 63,000 000. but the Land Bureau's surveys and inspections are so delayed that only 82,165 applications actually have | been approved, involving only a mil- lion acres. Fifty thousand home- steaders, chiefly native farmers, await decislon on their applications. Among the applications rejected or canceled are those of 34,00 many of whom have cleared the jungle and worked the flelds for years, only to be told in the end that they could not have title. Col. Thompson is getting a special report from the Bureau of Public Works regarding water-power possi- bilities in" all regions of the islands. These are many and well distributed, the largest being Maria Cristina Falls, in Lapao Province, where 150,000 horsepower may be developed, afford- ing irrigation, power and a nitrate plant similar to Muscle Shoals if the future settlement of this giant prov- ince in Mindanao waters ever requires its development.

It was shown that the opportunities for Northern mills to continue in pros- perous condition by specializing in cer- tain classes of goods that they are able to produce more efficlently con- tinue. Speakers from Northern and South- {ern States eiiher read papers or made { talks in line with the discussion | Elected President. | Announcement was made of the | election, by letter ballot of the 17,000 | members of the society, of Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem teel Corporation, as president of the soctety for 1927. Mr. Schwab has been a member of the body since 1899, and in 1918, In recognition of his contribu- tions to the development of engineer- ing, ha was made an honorary mem- ber. In a careful analysis of broad eco. nomie problems of the cotton textile industry in the South, prepared by Charles T. Main and Frank M. Gum by, Boston, Mass., and read by the latter, rapid growth of the Industry was reported and it was shown that this advance has been due to basic economic factors favoring cotton pro- ducing States over New England. “The number of spindles North and South,” the paper said, “now are al- most equal and indications are that they will be entirely equal within a hort time.” But it goes on to show that Southern mills run each spindle |an average of 3,100 hours a year as | compared with 1,900 hours yearly for Northern mills. Capacity Ahead of Demand, The conclusion reached by the paper is that the baslc trouble with {the textile industry is that productive capacity is so far ahead of the mar ket demand that there is little profit for anybody in the business. As a remedy it suggests that “much more progress can be made by co- operation In order that no section |can afford to go along independent of the other until they are checked by meeting in a glutted market. Neither cction, it was declared, can solve the problem alone. |~ Among thos Snelling, Washington | Doty, New York City Ball.” Seattle.
