Favoring an immediate merger of the Potomae Electric Light and Pow- er Company with the Washington Railway and Electric Company, a uniform rate of fare, and a rate of fare which will give a fair return on the valuation of properties, a “dec- laration of principles,” to guide the Chamber of Commerce In local public utility matters, was adopted last night by the hoard of directors of that organization at a special meet- ing in the Homer building. The “declaration of _principles” makes clear the stand that will be taken by the chamber in the hear- ings, the first of which was held to- day by the Public Utllitles Commis- sion on public utility questions. President Albert Schulteis, James T. Lloyd and Seymour were named a committee to appear before the hearing today on the street rail- way situation. The committee was given authority to speak for the chamber in favor of a uniform rate of fare, and to use its own judgment in other matters, according to the evidence offered at the hearing. This is said to be the first time that a chamber committee has had full au- thority at a public hearing to speak for the organization. Discussion was evoked at the mect- ing over a resolution introducel by H. H. Glassie, provid'ng that the chamber go on record as cpposing the zone system for fares. The mo- tion was d>fcated. Principles Adopted. The “declaration of principles” fol- lows: “The utility situation in the District of Columbia is approaching a condi- tion which demands wise counselnsz and the exercise of unprejudic:d tusi- ness judgment to guarantea to the public proper consideratida uand ac- commodation, and to those who haie invested in such securities a fair and just return. “In order that such accommodaticn and returns may be assured and con- tinued, the companies’ prop:rty must be maintained and its facilities cor- served with due regard for the pres- ent and future needs of the commu- ni he restoration of credit to public service corporations so that they will be able to obtain new capltal neces- sary for extension and proper equip- ment is the first cssentlal for ade quate service. The attitude taken to- ward all public utility companies must be of a constructive and not destruc- tive nature. Local public utilitles are and developed. Would Remove Burdens. “All burdens unrelated to the proper and mnecessary service performed should be removed. Therefore public service _corporations ehould be re- lieved of street paving and salaries of crossing policemen. “Wa are unable to discover any rea- son to justify the assertions or claims that better service or lower rates would follow public or municipal own- ership. Therefore the position taken toward public utilities problems should contemplate private ownership and operation. “Regulation 1s recognized as neces- sary and proper for private ownership and _operation, but such regulations should contemplate changed conditions in the community. “Whatever form regulation takes, it involves duties on the part of the pub- lic as well as on the part of the com- pany to protect the company serving the public from unfair and unreason- able competition and demands. “We favor an immediate merger of the Potomac Electric Light and Power Company with the Washington Rall- JAPANESE ACCEPT HARDING PROPOSAL FOR DISARMAMENT (Continued from First Page.) don or Washington {s understood to depend upon the attitude of President Harding. The British foreign office and most of the dominion prime min- isters are urging in favor of London, but in view of the fact that'the {nvi- tation came from President Harding and that he suggested Washington there {8 no desire here to go beyond & mere suggestion that the gathering be held in London. Meighan Favors Washington. Premier Meighan is pressing to have the matter decided soon, as he is anx- fous to return to Canada at once. He is strongly inclined to favor Wash- ington, particularly as the capital of the United States would be more suit- able to his owa conveniences, although he recognizes there are strong argu- ments on the side of London. “Don’t chill American opinfon” ad- vises the Montreal Star, In an impor- tant editorial which says a mistake will be made if the personal conven- iences of Premiers Hughes and Mas- sey, respectively, of Australia and New Zealand, are consulted in hav- ing the preliminary peace conference on_Pacific problems in London. The Star and many other Canadian papers and public men would like to see it held in Washington. Referring to the London possibility, the Star says: “This would be a blunder of colossal proportions in the reading of American psychology. The American people are thinking a great deal of the fact that this is to be an American conference. To the Ameri- can man in the street this is a policy of world import first urged by Sena- tor Borah in the American Senate; then adopted almost unanimously by both houses of Congress and finally put into operation by President Har- ding.” Sees Peril in Suspicion. Advancing reasons against the London proposal the Star indirectly refers to anti-British organs in the states, and, in case of a London preference, argues thus: *There are plenty of liticlans who would insist that England was once more pulling the wool over the eyes of Uncle Sam.” England with her six votes—that is, her overseas sister na- tions, which played so destructive a part in the debates on the league of na- tions, would be represented as cookln! up in London a settlement which woul afterward be fed to the trusting and gullible Ameri¢an government. Many addition strong arguments for having the preliminary session at Wash- ington are advanced, and in_closing the Star editor says: ‘Let this new peace treaty be made in Washington by men who go to Washington. un- bound and unschooled, Let the atmos- phere be American if possible. Then we shall at least have the advan that as good an agreement as can be reached will not be killed by piclous American Senate.” JUSSERAND CANCELS TRIP.

Cats and Dogs Barred. Specal Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 14— Three months from now Charleston will be greeted with an advertise- ment something like this: “For rent—Nine seven-room flats; garages attached. Only people with children need apply. Cats and dogs are barred.” A local citizen has obtained per- mits to build a six-flat apartment house and~a three-flat house. The former will cost $23,000 and the lat- ter $11,500. He says these flats are for families with children only, the more children the better, but cats and dogs are positively not to be allowed. The work will be finished in ninety days.

Gude, chair- man of the parks., highways and bridges committee, for the immediate extension of the playground system of Washington. Mr. Gude was author- ized to attend the meeting tonight at the Public Library in the intercsts of the playgrounds.

Senate Acts to Offset Loss of Du- ties on Nitrates. SANTIAGO, Chile, July 14.—The senate in speclal session here yester- day passed a bill authorizing the gov- ernment to place either in Chile or abroad a_loan of 25,000,000 pesos in gold and 50,000,000 pesos in paper cur- rency at 8 per cent for five years. This reduces the amount asked by the gov- ernment exactly one half. The loan probably will be taken im- medlately by local banks and will serve to cover the arrears in the gov- ernmental finances caused by the de- creased duties received from nitrate transportation.
