The report also de- | tailed the status of other inquiries it | has under way, and outlin~d its opera- | |tions in other fields, notably that qf | curbing false advertising. | | Among the utilities groups yet to be studied are Cities Service, Niagara { Hudson, Central & Southwest Utilities, | which was one of the’nsull chain, and | United Gas Improvement. | | When the work is completed the com- | mission says, the information is ex- pected to cover a good cross section of | the industry. | Summary Is'Given. The commission sums up on other | probes as follows: | Final reports being written on chain | stores, cottonseed prices, cement and | | building materials. | | First report in on peanut prices. . | [ O the subject of false advertising, | the commission said that “hundreds of |vunuws preying upon the public have been driven out of business” by -the | | commission campaign, in whic{l “al large majority of all publishers have, co-operated.” “Investigations: made by the commis- | sion,” the report said, “have disclosed | frauds of many kinds. The worst are| | perpetrated by those who prey on the | | suffering of those of their feliows who are willing to try anything to get relief | | from pain or the handicap of illness. | { “Millions of dollars are paid annually | | for preparations worthless or of doubt- | {ful value, but advertised as being ef- | fective. Failures Under Analysis. “Investigations of the..commission | disclose that various preparations pur- | veyed by some chemists, cosmeticians and others who are looking for easy money will not always stand up under careful scientific analysis.” As a result of the commission's action | along this line, the report said, “thou- | sands of otherwise honest business men, | who had fallen into the habit of exag- | gerating and using deceptive and mis- leading superlatives, have revised their ;copy’ and find it pays to tell the truth in advertising.” ‘The commission renewed a suggestion | made in' the last three annual reports that Congress enact legislation specifi- cally authorizing it to compel com- | panies under investigation to submit | any records desired. | Decline in Mergers. “There has been a gradual decline in the number of .consolidations and | mergers effected since 1929. the commission inquired intp some 200 | important -industrial acquisitions, con- | solidations and mergers three years ago, it was only necessary to institute some | 50 like inquiries during the fiscal year | Just_closed. “The number of companies under- golng reorganization which included the mmuon and consolidation of sub- ry interests chiefly because of eco- nomic necessity, and the number of concerns Passing into the hands of re- celvers probably exceeded the total| number of consolidations and mergers effected during the year.” JOSEPH G. SMITH WINS MERRICK DEBATE MEDAL' Pittsburgh Student Judged Best Speaker in Georgetown's Annual Contest. Selected by & group of judges as the | best individual speaker, Joseph G. Smith | of Pittsburgh, a college senior at | Georgetown University, was awarded | last night the coveted Merrick medal | The event was the fifty-eighth an- | %3 nual contest for this medal, staged by | ‘members of the 102-year-old Philodemic | Society of Georgetown College, ‘reputed | to be the oldest debating society at an | American university.

Slattery of Brighton, Mass. The losing team consisted of John 8. Leahy, jr, of St. Louis, and Henry B. Herrick of West Newton, Mass. John A.

DISCOUNTS DANGER OF JAPANESE WAR {Undersecretary- Castle Holds Tokio Has Too Much Trade at Stake. Doubts as to the danger of war be- tween the United States and Japan were expressed last night by Undersecretary of State William R. Castle in an address before 50 members of Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon, professional foreign service fraternity, at its Fall initiation banquet at the Carlton Hotel. Mr. Castle declared Jepan's silk in- dustry is indirectly. the means of sup- port of one-third of the population of Japan and directly of one-fifth, and more than 96 per cent of her silk ex- ports go to the United States, he fur- ther declared. Expected to Be Careful. “Japan will be careful not to an- tagonize the United States,” Mr. Castle declared, “and will hesitate long before ever going to war with us.” Hope that the new administration will do nothing to break down the foreign service of the United States was also expressed by the State De- partment official. He cited the estab- lishment of a career service as evi- dence of the growing need for com- petent representatives of this country abroad. The banqueters also were addressed by Constantine Brown of the staff of The Evening - Star, on- disarmament. Mr. Brown criticized the Kellogg- Briand pact, peace conferences and other conciliation treaties as failing as instruments for the outlawry of war, but delared that education of youth | alone would accomplish peace. Minimizes Arms Role. Mr. Brown minimized the role of armaments as a cause of war and cited the London Naval Conference of 1930 as one of the main causes of the crisis which occurred in Franco-Itelian re- lations. Dr. William F. Notz, national presi- dent of Delta Phi Epsilon and dean of the Georgetown Foreign Service School, spoke briefly. Others on the program were Frank Fadner, Guy Long and Robert M. Sheehan. Delmar E. Webb, president of Alpha Chapter, was toast- master. — STAR, WASHIN CIVIL WAR VETERANS GUESTS AT BANQUET Many Widows of G. A. R.
