A—8 THE SUNDAY IBRARY COLECTS | 1. NDVES WORKS initings on Political and Fis- ¢ cal Equity and Travel Pre- pared for Students. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Representing a period of nearly half & century of civic and literary activity, the writings of Theodore W. Ncyes on litical and 1 equity for the Dis- ct of Columbia and on other themes Jating to Washington have been col- ted and specially bound for deposit #h the Washingtoniana division of the Public Library, Dr. George F. Bower- man, librarian, yesterday announced that they now are available to students 4nd general readers interested in the eivic problems of which they constitute & documentary history. As chairman of the Executive Com- mittees of the Citizens' Jcint Com- mittee on National Representation and | the Citizens' Joint Committee on Fiscal | Relations, Mr. Noyes has been re- sponsible for a number of bcoks and pamphlets, and these have been brought together in convenient form on the library's shelves. Volume Covers 44 Years. “One volume of the series,” Dr. Bow- erman explained, “is entirely devoted to political equity for the District. Its scope is that of 1888 to 1932. In it may be found newspaper articles, re- ports, arguments and addresses advccat- ing national representation for the peo- ple of the tal. The table of con- tents lists, ‘Some ot Washington's Grievances,” 1888. ‘The Centenal of Washington City.’ 1891; ‘Welcc to the Grand Army of the Republic,’ 1892; ‘Alexander R. Shepherd and the New | Washington,’ 1909; ‘The Oldest Inhab- itants’ Asscciation and the Washing- tonian,’ 1909; ‘Americanize Washington as a Wise Measure of War Preparedness,” 1917; ‘The District’s Battle for Political Equity,’ 1930, and ‘Reciprocity in Fair Play.’ 1932. “Also is included a series of articles, published in 1914, on ‘A Political Square Deal for Washington'; copies of Mr. Noyes' arguments before the Senate District Ccmmittee, 1916 and 1922, and before the House Judiciary Committee, 1921, 1926 and 1928; a series of radio addresses, 1928, 1929 and 1931; a copy of a lengthy and informa- tive essay on ‘The Presidents and the National Capital’ 1916, and Mr. Noyes' address at the citizens’ dinner for Pres- ident Taft, 1913. Equity Subject Covered. “A second volume represents a simi- lar compilation of papers on financial equity for the District. It contains Mr. ¢ Noyes' reports as president of the Wash- ington Board of Trade, 1898 and 1899; his arguments before the Congressional Joint Select Committee, 1915: the Sen- ate Appropriations Committee, 1920, and the House District Committee, 1919; a study of ‘Finances of the Na- tional Capital Partnership; 1910; “‘Neighborly Hints—Lessons from South | America,’ 1911; ‘Fair Play for Washing- ton,’ 1913; ‘Taxation in the District of | Celumbia,’ 1930; several radio addresses, a number of citizens' petitions and other documents of official and semi-" official character. “These two books run to more thar 1,000 pages of closely printed text. They preserve data not otherwise available anywhere. They are the fruit of count- less days of research and investigation. “A third volume is ‘Washington in | General,’ a total of 600 pages of Mr. Noyes' articles on the Long Bridge prob- lem, steam railroad terminals, rapid transit, District fiseal affairs and re- lated subjects. Included in the list of contents is Mr. Noyes' address at the dedication of the Public Library, 1903. “A book on ‘General Politics and Other Writings' brings together Mr. Noyes’ study of ‘Newspaper Libels’; his discussion of the ‘War of the Metals,” dealing with currency matters; his “‘Progressivism in New Zealand and in the United States,’ ‘Conditions in lhei Philippines,” ‘Oriental America and Its Problems’ and ‘Notable Verbal Assaults and Historic Word Battles.” Travel Works Varied. “Still another volume is a compen- dium of Mr. Noyes' ‘Notes of Travel, 1879-1927." It opens with a sketch of | life at Hot Springs, Ark., published | in the first-mentioned year, and in-| cludes impressions of Nova Scotia, Yel- lowstcne National Park, North Cape, | Norway, Continental Europe, Mexico, Japan, Hawaii, the Philippines, South Africa, the South’ Seas, New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, Ceylon, Java, Bermuda, South America and other portions of the earth visited by the author in 48 years of traveling. These ‘Notes’ are especially valuable, because Mr. Noyes is not just a tourist, pleas- ure bent. Instead, he is interested in the real life of the people in each com- munity visited, their problems, their aspirations and their achievements. “Wherever he has gone he has been particularly congerned to study the ex- perience of foreign cities for sugges- tions that might be helpful in the fullest and fipest development of Wash- ington—as, for example, from London, Berlin and Paris hints concerning ideal railroad terminals and elimination of grade crossings, from Budapest hints concerning a workable underground trolley, which led to the use of that system over all Washington today, and from Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Santiage nints concerning the creation | of the “City Beautiful” in Washington. “His observations in the Philippines immediately after the close of the Spanish-American War were considered 80 important that they were printed as a Senate document. His “Notes” on the great waterfalls of the world were pub- lished by the National Geographic So- clety. Editorials in Volume, “We also have a large volume of Mr. Noyes’ editorial contributions to The Star on ‘Suffrage in the District of Columbia.’ N It is easy to beat the high gas bills ~with a Coleman Gas Range.

By the Associated Press. Abandonment of efforts to reach an agrcement on dividing the American sugar market among producing nations was advocated yesterday by farm ad- ministration advisers unless the con- tending factions arrive at a solution among themselves. Interests affected by the recommenda- tion included Cuban producers, who would have been permitted under a quota arrangement to export 1,700,000 tons annually to the United States. Others were the beet sugar growers in Colorado and other Western States and producers in Leuisiana, Florida and insular possessions, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands. The dcmestic beet sugar producers have held cut strongly for weeks against the clause in the proposed agreement that their output be limited to 1,525,000 tons yearly. They also took a positive stand against any limitation whatever on their product. President Watches Situation. President Roosevelt has kept clcsely in touch with the sugar conference, in view of the turmoil in Cuba and the effort he is directing to bring political and economic peace to the island. Weeks of work and WOIry were repre- sented in the tentative agreement which was virtually aband-ned yester- day unless an unforeseen compromise is reached. The farm administration could go ahead and try to get an arrangement which would stabilize the sugar market despite the conclusions of the experts, including its own members, but that was regarded as extremely unlikely. Dr. John Lee Coulter of the Tariff Commission, who was borrowed by the Farm Administration to advise on the sugar problem, joined A. A. Berle, jr., one of the professional group close to President Roosevelt; Thomas M. Wood- ward of the Farm Administration, pre- at the hearings, and in teiling George N. Peek, farm act ad- that further negotiations were useless unless the situation changed. Run Into Difficulties. They said the negotiators all avowed they wanted an agreement, but “the sworn evidence in the record discloses such disagreement and the record in- cludes such extravagant claims from A many interests” that the administration should not attempt to revise the pro- posed agreement. They also said a public hearing set for next Wednesday on supplementary phases of the basic agreement should be called off. The quota arrangement was the heart of the agreement. It would have given Hawaii a market in the United States for 975,000 tons of sugar; Puerto Rico, 875,000: the Philippine Islands, 955,920; Louisiana, 250,000 tons, and Florida, 60.000 tons. In 1919 Cuba exported 3,612,693 tons of sugar to the United States. The tariff on Cuban sugar was raised to 2 cents a pound in 1930 and Cuban ex- ports in 1932 were 1,762,000. The domestic beet growers asserted that any lowering of the tariff or sub- stantial expansion in the amount of Cuban sugar shipped to the United States would mean the ruin of the do- mestic industry.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 12—The na- tional recovgry drive in New York State and City has been “marvelously organized for so short a time” said Postmaster General Farley today. As Farley dedicated the first Blue Eagle banner to fly from a masthead here. at the Central Post Office, 28 Army airplanes circles over Manhat- tan, after a take-off from Floyd Ben- nett Field, and then darted in divers directions to deliver bundles of N.R. A. stickers to 11 cities from Massachusetts to Florida. The customs house announced that more than 168,000 agreements under the President’s blanket code had been ‘r;dcelved from business firms up to ay. After the ceremonies at the post of- ! fice, Postmaster General Farley said: “I understand there is a_disposition in some quarters to evade the terms of the President’s agreement and I fre- quently have been asked how these situations can be handled. “It seems to me that a man who the re-employment agreement Zallows it up by signing a certificate of compliance and then deliberately goes back on his pledge comes within the classification of those who use the mails for fraudulent purposes.” PALAIS ROYAL A Permanent That Needs No Finger Waving !
