Halue, therefore, are TO be learned,

Wide acceptance that q high protec.
tive tariff protects from panics which
come only under low tariff.
That is quite as false as the other
The belief prevails to q greater or
less extent that a particular politi-
cal party possesses the exclusive
power Of governing the country IN
fresdom from financial disaster and
industrial relapses. That is even
more false than either OF the other
! beliefs.
Panics or financial crisises are
made possible only by the existence
Of the credit system, and the credit
system exists under the gold stand

PEACE PROGRAMME COMPLETE
United States Will Bring Up Lin.
tied Armament Question.
England VIII Lead Fight for Open
Door at The Hague Conference.
Reservations AnnPuneed.

Baron ROseH the Russian Ambassador.
yesterday handed TO Secretary OF State
Root the Russian note covering the reser-
vations made by the governments invited
60 participate in the second Hague
conference 10 the original programme as
announced by Russia at the time that
government proposed the meeting There
has been much discussion Of the Russian
programme IN European and American
capitals ever since il was promulgated,
and while all of the governments asked to
participate i'm the conference have signi-
fed their acceptance. they have not all
agreed to accept as final the programme
which the Cars government suggested.
The reservations which have been made
may be divided into two ClassifcatiOns-
first. a reservation Of the right 10 propose
other subjects than those contained in
Russia's programme. and second. a reser-
walton Of the right TO refrain from a dis
cusson of the subjects which are en-
hraced In the original draft.
The government of the United States
has reserved 10 itself the liberty OF sub
hitting TO the second conference two nd
ditiOnal questions. viz: That Of the re-
duction or limitation OF ornaments, and
that Of bringing about an agreement to
observe certain limitations IN the use of
furce i'm collecting ordinary public debts
aCCruiug from contracts.
The Spanish government has expressed
a desire 10 discuss the limitation Of ar
m1ments.
The British government has given
notice that 1t attaches great Importance
10 having the question of expenditures for
armament discussed at the conference,
and has reserved to itself the right OF
raising It.
The Russian government declares that
it maintains its programme of the month
of April, 1906, as the basis for the deliber-
atoms of the conference.
England has taken the leading part in
maintaining the open door for a discus
sion Of the limitation Of expenditures for
armament, but in this matter she is
joined by the United States and Spain
The latter country even goes farther than
England in seeking a consideration Of the
direct question OF Limitation of arma-
ment The opposition 10 this proposition
comes from Russia, Germany. and
Austria.
In her formal note. handed to Secretary
Root, Russia expresses the hope that the
labOrs of the second conference will create
new guarantees for the good understand
ing Of the nations of the civilized world
Il is expected that the formal invitation
from the Dutch government to meet at
The Hague viii follow in a short time. as
il is proposed that the conference shall
meet about the middle of June. 1t is re-
ported, however. that there is d minis
terial crisis in the Netherlands. and this
may delay for a brief period the formal
issuance of the invitations. Should the
/ invitations be long withheld, II may be
necessary for some of the more distant
countries to signify their acceptance by
cable
Secretary Root expects to be able to
announce the appointment of the United
States delegates to the conference within
few days.

10 devise plans for the elimination Of
competition between these two transcon-

Purchase of stock Large.
The purchase Of stock by the Union
Pacific in the Southern Pacific. he main
tained. was the legal exercise Of the
right Of the Union Pacific to acquire

was merely incidental and insignificant.
This Is the most important case ever
considered by the commission, said Mr..
Milburn in his opening remarks. Touch

man consolidation was a combination In

got to find a contract; you've got 10 md

spiracy."
He admitted that possibly competition
was suppressed between the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific. The great

complained TO Gov Warheld, of Mary
