By Radio to The Star | TOKIO, Japan, September 17.—The which has been holding sessions for the last two months, at today’s final meet- ing decided in favor of recommending the ratification uf.lhe London naval treaty. The approval was accompanied by & warning regarding the supreme command issue and supplementary naval defense program. Count Miyoji Ito, chairman of the Investigation Committee, will draft the warning and the report on the discus- sions for submission at a full Privy Council meeting to be held shortly. The findings undoubtedly will be concur- red in. Virtually Ends Conflict. This virtually terminatés the long drawn-out fight between the govern- ment and the Privy Council and is » decided victory for the government. Even up until today the vernacular press has been predicting dire conse- quences for the government, with three possibilities: An indefinite delay due to lack of adequate information; ratifica- tion with censure; complete rejection. The warning regarding the National defense ' is merely face-saving for the privy council &nd is not of importance internationally. The privy council re- alized that the povernment had resolved to ignore any censure, as leading states- men such as Prince Salonji, last sur- viving. “elder” statesman, and Count Makino, lord keeper of the privy seal, and public opinion would support the government, with the result that the prestige and Influence of the privy council would have been impaired. Assures Final Ratification. Today's action assures final ratifica- tion in the near future and confirms repeated predictions to this effect. The privy council has made lots of noise and has kept in the political limelight, somewhat resembling the clamor made in the United States and England, but in the final showdown was forced to yleld under the pressure of virtually unanimous support of the press and public opinion for the treaty.

Revolutionary Change in Germany Is Held Unlikely, as Fascist Victors Are Expected to Feel Burden of Responsibility and Act Carefully. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Excitement which followed the over- whelming victory of the Hitler party at the German polls is quieting down, and the German elections now are Jjudged in Washington in their true light Nobody here expects a revolutionary change of German foreign policy. The so-called German Pascistsstillareonly a fifth of the en- tire German Parlia- ment, and 107 men cannot_fundament- ally change Ger- many's foreign poli- cy, although it is admitted that they can exercise a cer. tain amount of in- fluence. The Fascists will adopt legal means of enforcing _their policy and will ask for a number of places in the Ger- man cabinet. Once in office it.is be- lieved that they will feel the burden of responsibility and will do nothing un- balanced or rash. Labor's Rise Is Cifed. The world became alarmed, it is stat- ed, when the Labor party was returned to office in Britain and all kinds of rumors were current in the world's chancelleries. Ramsay MacDonald and his friends were expected to change entirely Great Britain's policies. Yet nothing dramatic happened. The same thing is expected to occur in Germany, where all parties are more worried today about Germany's credit in the world markets than about violent policy change in her reparation debt. Reaction May Bring Pessimism. While the situation within Germany is not considered alarming, the reper- cussion of the German elections in the neighboring counties may justify a cer- tain amount of pessimism. For weeks France had been watching the develop- tine Brow: ments in Germany; a certain section of the French press and Nationalists in the cabinet had forecast the victory of the Hitlerites. They described such &n eventuality as the end of the Locarno pact and the end of Aristide Briand's policy of attempted friendship with Ger- many. Last Sunday's result confirmed the worst predictions of the French Na- tionalists. It is feared in responsible quarters here that the French nation may be induced to share the fears of the Prench Nationalists, Hopes of Italy Are Revived. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the victory of the German Fascists will have an important reaction in Italy. 1In their latent confiict with | France the Italians have been looking longingly at Germany and have ap- proached the German government un- officially several {imes, offering not an alliance but an entente. This has been so far tejected by the German go: ernment. However, the signal victory of the e | consequence will be that the Italians |will be even more adamant in dis- | cussing their political differences with | the French. This will retard the much desired disarmament parleys and the | present unsettled and obscure political situation in Europe will continue so for some time. Effects to Be Felt Here. Nobody here, however, believes that this uncertain’ situation actually will |lead to an armed conflict. The situa- tion, it is feared. may disturb trade. Political difficulties between nations always bring about unfavorable busi- ness conditions. By the delay in tling their political disputes the E pean states inevitably cause trade d pressions, which in turn cause unem- | ployment and eventually social unrest, The effects of such conditions necessarily will be felt in this country, and from that point of view slone the results of the German election are de- plored here.

The appeals have been dormant most of the years, although in 1928 they had a brief ‘moment of revival before sinking back into the limbo. The figures in- volved in the old controversy are now hopelessly out of date and the points of law involved have been litigated and settled many times over by local utili- ties. The action of the companies was taken at the District Bullding as some- thing in the nature of a gesture of good will remotely ~connected with their effort to build up new business here by an offer to decrease rates. Hearings on the offered reductions, which the | companies state amount to & cash re- | duction of $400,000 & year on its present | volume of sales, are now in progress. Appeals Taken in 1913, The appeals which the company abandoned today go back in their his- tory to the founding of the Public Util- itles Commission by act of Congress in | 1913. The first action of the commis- slon was to undertake valuation pro- ceedings of all the utilities under its control. Before the task was finished the war interrupted and considerably lengthened the work and the subse- quent litigation. Without exception the large local utility companies believed that they were worth more than the figures arrived at. by the. commission and went to court to prove it. Since rates are, under the law, supposed to be based on valuation, the higher the val- uation of a utility company, the higher rate it is entitled to charge. The main fighting round in these early appeals was the theory of repro- duction cost, which the ~companies claimed had been ignored by the com- mission. One of the cases, that of the Potomac Electric Power Co., wandered up to the Supreme Court of the United States and back down by stages to the District Supreme Court. It was fina ly compromised. The gas companies’ mlhyod in the District Supreme u Appeals Rest Years, The commission, in its orders of May 2, 1917, found that the value of the Washington Gas Light Co. was $9,097,- 87331 and that of the Georgetown Gas Light Co. $829,886.59. These were ap- pealed, but nothing was ever done about | the appeal for years. In 1928 the gas companies came to the commission and asked for a revalu- tlon. This was granted and a large amount of work done by both sides on the case. It came on for hearing and the companies put on many engineers, | each testifying that the company was | worth more than it figured on the | commission’s books, and each putting | the figure considerably higher than the last. Came the commission’s engineer's turn and objections by the companies to the first witness produced sent the case back to the District Supreme Court. The witness, Byars McK. Bachman, accountant for the commission, had based his figures on an exhibit prepared | by an accountant employed in the first | in Scotland and not amenable to pro- | cess of the commission.

OTTAWA, Ontario, September 1 United States trade with Canada will suffer to the extent of hundreds of millions of - dollars within the next year as a result of the tariff changes announced in the Canadian House of Commons yesterday by R. B. Bennett, new Conservative Prime Minister. The tariff changes, described as the most drastic in the history of Canada, affect 130 classes of goods imported from United States. Mr. Bennett has increased the rates from 5 to 20 per cent on virtually all of these items. For instance, a duty of 2% cents & gal- lon has been placed on refined gaso- line. This will have the effect of cutting off $14,000,000 worth of im- ports of this commodity. Would Put 25,000 to Work. Mr. Bennett told the House of Com- mons that the tariff changes would protect the home market for Canadian manufacturers and would give work to 25,000. At tne present time Canadian factories are working at a 45 per cent capacity. The changes in the tariff will mean that these factories will work at a capacity of from 75 to 80 per_cent. The Prime Minister said further that the government had been assured by Canadian manufacturers that the in- creases in the tariff would not mean higher prices to the consumer and that the administration was empow- ered to remove tariff protection from an industry when prices to eon= sumer were boosted. ‘The changes initiated by Mr. Bennett are said not to be in retaliation to the Fordney-McCumber or the Smoot-Haw- lew tariff increases brought in against Canadian farm products. The new rates include higher duties on clothing, textiles, boots, shoes and agricultural machinery, including milk- ing machines, cultivators, harrows, drills, plows, mowing machines, har- vesters, reapers, spraying and dumns machines, hay loaders, hay tenders an potato planters. Further Upward Revision Due. There is no increase in the duty against United States motor vehicles, but the prime minister stated that at the next session of Parliament, early next year, there would be a further upward revision of the tariff. Dumping of goods into Canads by United States manufacturers will also be cut off to a great extent under the new tariff amendments. The old dumping penalty of 15 per cent was in- creased to 50 per cent. All exceptions to the dumping act were removed. Canada has been operating under the low-tariff policy of the liberal adminis- tration of Mackenzie King, who was defeated at the polls July 28. Mr. Ben- nett, leading the Conservative party, was elected by a large majority on a high-tariff cry. (Copyright, 1930.) |LA FOLLETTE TE WEDS RACHAEL W. YOUNG, AT MADISON, WIS. to communion, The Rev.

He whipped from his pocket an order, signed by him, dismissing his com- pany’s appeal against the valuation of its property announced by the commis- slon in 1917. The order has not yet, however, been presented to court. Mayer Supports Clayton. Charles C. Mayer rose o support Mr. Clayton’s motion to dismiss and also the motion for revaluation, The com- mission then took time out to consider the motion. Gen. Patrick announced that the motions had both been dis- missed for reasons previously on the record. i President George A. G. Wood of the company then took the stand and read a_ short. preliminary statement, in which he said that under the schedule about to be introduced the poor con- sumer would be benefited. He said that 65 per cent of the gas bills in Southwest Washington would be reduced under the | ed schedule, whereas only 32 per cent of the bills in the Northwest cen- tral apartment section would be re- duced. He said that the apartment dwellers use gas as a convenience, that they do not use enough under the present schedule to pay their way, and that they are a burden on other con- sumers. He read a list of 18 citles, in all of which the rate to the average consumer is higher than in Washing- ton, except in the case of Detroit, Engineer Commissioner John C. Got- wals asked for comparative rates in cities such as Louisville and Cincinnati. Mr. Wood replied that the rates given for New York, Boston, Philadelphia lnd} Baltimore were strictly comparable to | those in Washinglon, more so than those in Louisville and Cineinnati, ow- ing to the difference in freight rates on | gas coal Donald A. Henry was the next wit- ness. He is the rate engineer for the Seaboard Investment Trust, which is the business name of the persons who now hold control of the Washington Gas Light Co. He made a lengthy statement of his qualifications and then sald that under the rates proposed, which he had drafted, assuming that the business of the company grew 7% per cent in 1931, it would lose $394,000 | in revenue. If the business stands still | it will lose $365,000. Introduces Series of Rules. He then introduced & series of new rules, which he asked the commission to enact at the same time that it e acted the new schedule. According to rule 3 of the new draft, in the case where any consumer’s service has been disconnected because he would not pay his bills, before it is reconnected the consumer must pay all of his past bills due, plus the cost to the company of disconnecting the service, plus the cost of reconnecting it. The latter two costs in no case should aggregate more than $2. He described (his rule as absolutely Decessary, without giving any particu- lars. Another section of this rule sub- stitutes 10 days for the 15 days dis- count period now allowed by the com- pany His reason for this was that 10 days was enough time 1o give anybody to pay his bill and that 10 days is the almost universally recognized discount period. Another new charge was found in rule 11. According to this rule, if any consumer terminaies his contract with the company at any time within one year after he takes services, he must pay the company $1.50 for the privilege of not continuing o use the gas during the balance of the year. This rule provides that the company shall al- ‘ways be ready to discontinue the serv- ice on 72 hours’ notice. Red-Headed and Sings Blues.

Both boas were carrying baby jib topsails, Jibs and staysails as they went over the line for the 15-mile beat to windward. At 10:52 the Shamrock went over on her port tack and was quickly follow- ed by Enterprise. The maneuver seemed to be just to Vanderbilt's llkln{on‘nd the Enterprise started footing along faster than the Challenger, At 11 o'clock the initial advantage of Shamrock was largely overcome, Vanderbilt worked the white boat up lo weather of the Shamrock, and about two boat lengths back, too close for Shamrock to cross his bow. Sea Is Rough. A brisk breeze of about 15 miles an hour was blowing out of the south- west, giving prospect for an exciting race in the third brush for the Amer- ica’s Cup. The surface of the sea was much prise, as she has shown a disposition to ride the seas much better than Shamrock. The latter threw spray in & gentle swell Monday, dipping her | bow deeply into the water. The spectator fleet continued to dwindle, the pleasure craft following the racers out to sea today being far below the number that watched the first race last Saturday. Visibility was much better for the start today than for either of the previous racing days. Shamrock did not break out her salls on the tow out to the starting line. Her high mast bare, she rolled and pitched in the uneasy sea ‘The Enterprise, with her mainsail up, went along much more smoothly under tow. The smaller of the spectator fleet also made heavy weather of the going, promising several cases of mal de mer for those not used to the roll and pitch of the open sea. The Shamrock was first to reach the starting line. She set her mainsails, | jib and staysail and went cruising about the committee boat. She did not seem eomfortable in the sea that was running, dipping her prow into the waves. With the start of the race but a few minutes away, both Enterprise and challenger were jockeying about the starting line, each attempting 'to get into an advantageous position. Shamrock Takes Water. Shamrock V's bow was in a smother of spray and she was taking water along her lee rail. Enterprise kept her head up, seeming to have greater buoyancy forward. All hands on the cup yachts' tenders were early astir, happy in the outlook for & real contest. Decks were sanded and then salls were chosen and bent on. “It looks like we are going to have a smart day for a bit of brush,” sald Sir ‘Thomas. nd maybe my Shamrock will yet show what is in her. ter boat than she has shown here.” Vanderbilt, cup defender, made his weather observations from the deck of the yacht Vara. As usual, he had no comment to make on the contest.

Honeymoon Plans Not Known. The honeymoon plans of the couple were not known to the parents. Although one of the youngest men in the Senate in point of years, being only 35, Senator La came to the upper branch ol‘?finnus in 1925 with a background eyperience and training for _publie hv”:ained from close association with his distinguished {ather, the late Senator Robert M. La Follette, whose place he took in the Senate. In the short span of five years the young Senator has attracted attention in the national legislature, taking part in important debates with the same vigor which characterized the long career of his father. During the years that his father was in the Senate, the son became thoroughly familiar with senatorial procedure, which made it comparatively easy for him to enter en- uslastically into the work of legislat- , when, in 1925, he was elected to finish the unexpired term of the elder La Follette.

On November 6, 1928, he was re- clected for a regular six-year term and has taken an active part as one of the progressive group on the Republican side of the Senate aisle. He has become chairman of the Sen~ ate Committee on Manufactures and also has been placed on the important Foreign Relations Committee. In ad- dition to these assignments he holds places on the committees on finance, Indian affairs and mines and mining. The young Senator was born at Madi- son, Wis, February 6, 1895. He spent & number of years as secretary to the elder Senator La Follette, ‘Whenever he has been called upon to preside temporarily in the Senate he has done so with the ease of a veteran legislator.
