LOCKWOOD COMMITTEE (1 DWELLS UPON INSURANCE New ,York, Jume 23.—Failure of life insurance companies to dispose of their various stock and bond holdings as de- manded in a legislative act of 1906 was dwelt upon today by the Lockwood legis- lative committee. Its attack was cen- tered upon the utual Life Insurance com- pany and its president, Charles A. Pea- body. Evidence was submitted to show that the Mutual had bought railway bonds since 1906, and Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee, contended that the tenacity with which the company held its rail securities had cost the policy- holders several million dollars, since the value of the stocks and bonds has slumped heavily in the last few years. It was brought out that the Mutual retains large blocks of securities of va- rious corporations in which Mr. Peabody be ten days, (We can formulate a tarift bill but|\us a girector, an official ora trustee. e present disturbance of intérna.

The Mutual also retains 60,000 shares of Rennsylvania railroad stock and owns two or three millions in the bond sof the Central of Georgla Rallway company, Mr. Peabody said. Rent increases in the Equitable build- ing, the largest office structure in the world, were reviewed by the committee, showing many instances in which leases had been boosted more than 100 per cent, since 1920. One suite renting for $1,050 last year advanced to $3,600 this year; unother was jumped from $2,250 to $8,000, and still another from $47.000 to 80,000 during the past twelve months. “Why," asked Mr. Untermyer, “have you not made an effort to get rid of these A8 [ stocks that have been depreclating and depreciating, until the loss to the policy- holders is enormous?" The witness asserted such efforts had been made, but that they could not have of | been ¥old to advantage. Undoubtedly, he sald, the Mutual could have obtained a proper price for its New Haven stock between 1906 and 1911, the = years in which the legislature first ordered them to sell. “It T had been a prophet, T could have done a great deal better,” he remarked. Swinging into their investigation of causes of housing shortages, the commit- tee learned that the Mutual now has only 16 per cent. of its total assets in mort- gage loans, compared to nearly 24 per cent. in 1911.

The Japancse race ex- ceeded by far the rate of zrowth in the last ten years of all other classes. The official tabulation revealed a rate of expansion of 53.9 per cent. during the decade. California abserbed 30,396 of the total growth of 38,868 Japanese in this period The white population showed only a 1§ per cent. expansion for the decade and the megro 6.5 per cent. The Indian and Chinese groups dwindled 8.6 per cent. respectively. The growth in the white Population was - considerably less than the rate for the previous decade which was 22.3 per cent. This decline, the state- ment said, was due principally to the marked reduction in immigration during the world war. The greatest numerical increase in the white population was shown in the east north central division embracing the states 6f Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- gan and Wisconsin where the increase was 3011,563. . The Tate of increase in the negro pop- ulation, which ‘was not perceptibly af- fected by immigration or emigration, was the lowest on record, according to the statement. /Evidence of the migration of the negro T the north and west was found in the figures showing nearly three fourths of the increase in the negro population, or 472,418 of the 635,250 gain, in these sec- tiows. A growth only 162,832 or about one-fourth was reported for the south, despite the fact that 85 per cent. of the total negro race is still below the Ma- son-Dixon Line. The percentage increase of negroes in the west was 58.1; in the north 43.3 per cent., and in the south 1.9 per cent. FREEMEN AND BOY SCOUTS ARE SEARCHING FOR MUDEREE West Hempstead, N.

P.)—An unexpected attack on the government of the league of natiods was made in the house of lords tonignt by Lord Curzon, secretary of state for foreign affairs. He declared that many existing international difficulties were due to the ailies hav- ing taken the wrong turning in the mak- ing of peace, and heuttered a*#trong ap- peal for the utmost American co-opera- tion with the alies, The foreign secretary’s speech was made in the course of a generad discus- sion on mandates. He was inclined to think there was a mistake in poliey, when the allies met in Paris, in their ex- treme desire to get the league of nations on the interngtional statute book. They rushed- almost’ with precipitation, he said, to discuss questions which it now was seen would better have been solved by being postponcd. Lord Curzon entered into a long ex- planation of the British view, showing that there had been no discourtesy on the part of the British government, but circumstances beyond its control had pre- vented the submission of mandates to the Washington government in the manner the latter required. Regarding the present position, he be- lieved there would be a further post- ponement of the discussion on mandates. He declared there was force and rea- son in President Harding's view that America was entitled to be consulted be- fore the mandates could be entircly set- tled, and he believed that the league was likely to repiy that, holding that view themselves, they would decide to post- pone consideration of the mandates and trust that the other governments con- cerned would enter into communication with the American government in the interval before the meeting of the as- scmbly in September. PRESIDENT ASKS FOR REFUND OF LOANS TO FOREIGN NATIONS ‘Washingten, june 23.—Unrestricted authority,for the secretary of the treas- ury in refunding the approximately ten billion dollars owed by the allied na- tions to this country was asked by Pres- ident Harding today in t-e first adminis- tration bill sent to c-ngress.

The admiral reported to Mr. Denoy this morning and declared that he had icen inaccurately quoted in accounts of _his speech. The secretary promptly in- structed him to state in writing specil- cally, as far as possible, the instances in which he had been misquoted and to give, as closely as he could, a text of what he actually said. .Less than two hours later the admiral had transmitted his re- port to Secretary Denby and returncd te a local hotel to await the outcome. Secretary Denby took thé repor: home Wwith him for study this evening. “Admiral Sims has submitted the statement I asked him to give m2,” Mr. Denby said, “and I have read it.

The viewpeint of the international bankers' group was presented at a sim!- lar dinner several weeks ago. Although detalls of what occurred dur- Ing the conference were held in confl- denee, it was indicated that the conser- vation of American home trade as dis- tinguished from expansiop of exports, furnished one of the principal subjects. Secretary Mellon of the treasury and Secretary Hoover of the commerce de- parmtent were among the president's guests.

NEW YORK WHITE WINGS PARADE IN TORRID HEAT New York, June 23.—Sweltering New York got enly one shiver today, that was when the White Wings paraded down Complete powers for setting with the allied nations would be vested in Secre- tary Mellon under the bill.

The bill also would confer un'imited au- thority to defer payment of interest of. principal and to settle ontstanding clatms against the United States. Announcement of the administration refunding plan was made at the White House and a letter from Secretary Mel- lon t othe president, presented needs for the blanket powers requested. Citing that the treasury now was with- out authrity to convert, refund or defer payment of the allied debts and interest, Secretary Mellon said that diverse condi- tions required a general grant of powers. In this connection he said that it might be advisable in the case of national ow- ing debts to other countries in addition to the United States, “to consider som- prehensi the cntire debt of such countries * * * * * g0 as to work out a refunding plan reasonably within the ability of such country to earry out” ity No plans for disposition of the allied securities was given by Secretary Mel- lon. The administration bill was received by most republican leaders with approval. It was pronnounced by Senator Penrose to be the “most important” bill of the present congress. Some democrats, howi ever, declared they would oppose any grant of unlimited powers and intima- tions of a similar position were given by some republicans.
