which has an enrollment of 180,
will not be closed until he has had
an opportunity to talk the matter
over with President Roosevelt.
Collier's plan to retain only the
high school vocational grades
would reduce the enrollment to
200 and would reduce the cost to
$75,000, the dispatch said. Of
nine Indian schools, all have been
abolished but three, of which Che
mawa is one.
Senator McNarv's report on the
Chemawa situation is encouraging
to persons here Interested in the
Indian school s fate, as it indi
cates a minimum loss even In case
Collier's conversation with the
president does not result In re

Arguments based on the effect

been effective ammunition against

Quota System Proposal by

France proposing an immediate
truce on quota restrictions.
While providing against any
further use of the quota system
as a weapon to curb Importations,
the plan would permit France to
continue indefinitely the enforce
ment of quotas it has already ad
opted. The move was interpreted
as a counter-stroke to the Amer
ican demand for elimination ef
Import discriminations.

Insisted that international agree
ments could not be completed un
til dollar stability was achieved
but finally joined today in a un-

rency uncertainties, he said,
would not be permitted to block
the activities of the conclave.
The quota system, a favorite de

value, would remain stabilized 'a
its existing status, under tlio
French proposal which would for

upon which each state depends in
part for Its prosperity.

matters affecting canneries. If
yon be successful In establiahisg
for the first time in history a un

born of low wages paid in many
