Establishment by the Federal Gov- €rament of a section of a bureau for the collection of social welfare sta- | tistics was proposed to President Hoo- ver today by a delegation representing | Association of Community Chest and Council. The President was told by this group that their association for several years has conducted a demon- stration in this field which has clearly indicated that such an undertaking on the part of the Government will yield valuable figures on the social needs of American cities. It was pointed out to the President that the information to be derived from the collection of such statistics is essen- tial if social service work is to be con- ducted in a practical manner. He was advised also that the association has found it extremely difficult for a private agency to collect the necessary sta- tistics, and because of this and a reali- | zatipn of the vital importance attached | to such statistics, the group hopes that the President will approve the proposal | to have the Federal Government do this work. Suggests Children’s Bureal. Tt was suggested that the Children'’s Bureau of the Labor Department be | designated as the agency for collecting this data. The delegation was greatly pleased with the President’s interest in their proposition, but declined to say ‘whether or not the President made any commitment. He did, however, sug- gest that the delegation go to the di- Tector of the budget and discuss with hig the matter of appropriations, The President was told that after a study of the costs of its own activities in this field it was believed that an appropriation of not more than $30,000 would be needed to inaugurate this work the first year. It was recom- mended that an item calling for this amount be included in the budget esti- mates for the Children’s Bureau, and it will be regarding this that the delega- tion confers with the director of the budget. While outlining some of the activities of the association, the delegation fur- nished the President with the following interesting results of its demonstra- tion in the field of social service: “Twenty-one cities have for the first time counted all their children who must be brought up by others than their own parents. 28 in Each 10,000. “These 21 cities show an average of 28 such children for every 10,000 of the population in_ 1928. “Similarly, 16 cities have counted all the families’ dependent on family wel- fare'agencies, public and private. These per 10,000 population on any given day. The total relief for such families tlx'zszl' $8,800 per 10,000 of population in “Seventeen cities report 12,300 days’ care in hospitals for every 10,000 popu- lation in 1928, and 15 of these cities know that 42 per cent of these days’ care was absolutely free.” Senator Allen of Kansas, was the spokesman for the delegation. With him were James R. Garfield of Cleveland, former Secretary of Interior; Newbold Noyes of Washington, G. O. Pope of Detroit, Fred M. Butzel of Detroit, Henry L. DeForest of New York and Allen P. Burns of New York.

BRITISH TERRITORIAL ARMY 40,000 SHORT Few Units Now Using Parades to Recruit Doubtful Men. ‘The reason why the British Terri- torial army is about 40,000 short of its normal establishment of 180,000 men, is given by the London Daily News, which says the national army of today is being created out of the very best material. Few units nowadays make use of recruiting parades to bring in men who may disappear after hav- ing been supplied with clothing and boots. Moreover, the territorial army is now being made as much as possible a replica of the regular army. It is bet- ter equipped than ever before, and & good part of it has been mechanised. In 1929 it is regarded by the authorities as a much more formidable weapon for national defense than it was in 1909. The present numbers are 6,793 offi- cers and 131,218 other ranks. In round figures the normal establishment and present shortage in personnel of the various commands are: Northern, 36,- 000—4,000; Scottish, 26,000—5,000 western, 35,000—7,000; southern, 27,- 000—7,000; eastern, 28,000—11,000 and London, 26,000—10,000. It will be seen that the position in the north is good and that London is the worst—as it always has been—but then, as is pointed out at headquar- ters, London is affected by the fact that there are so many counter attrac- tions, that employes prefer to spend their week ends Flaylng games, and that private seaside camps make a popular appeal. ——e Germany's coal production in a Te- cent month was 14,360,000 tons, or 2,000,000 tons greater than for the same month of 1928.
