NINETY-CENT GAS
CERTAIN IN HOUSE
At THIS SESSION
Influential Members of
Senate Strongly in Fa-
Vor of Measure.
No Action Is Expected
on the Anti-Infla-
ton Bill.

Assurances Of substantial character
have been received that the 90-cent gas
Dill for Washington viii be given a
chance 10 be called up before the House
as early as possible.
The fact that the House committee
unanimously reported IL. and that at
best II represents a very modest con-
cession TO the public interest, have been
Of material weight in assuring a friend
y disposition on the part Of the House
leaders
The result, if the bill comes up for
consideration, is not doubted. There is
hardly a possibility that a vote will
be cast against il. Much more concern
is felt about the situation at the SEN
ate end Of the Capitol this mainly be-
cause the session is so far advanced.
The reports that the situation in the
Senate is hopeless because Of opposition
70 such legislation, on principle, can be
set down, with the best information,
as mistaken.
The fact is, that the proposal 10 lower
the price of gas recently has enlisted
some powerful and earnest friends il
the Senate, and that the prospect OF
favorable action, both in the District
committee and on the Senate floor IS
better than II has ever been before. This
does not mean anything like certainty
or action. There is nothing certain in
legislation, and especially nothing GER
tain about procedure in the Senate.
however, the chances are that the
Senate Will take very different pOstriOD
concerning the 90-cent bill than II did
on the z5-cent bill The Approximations
Committee killed the amendment to pro-
vide gas at l5 cents for public uses
why should we give the District gov
ernment less price than we give the
people, demanded an influential mem
Der Of the Senate Committee. u think
S9-ccnt gas bill could be passed here.
Il the House viii send it TO US: IN fact
am willing TO give all the assurance
that II IS proper for one TO give IN ad-
vance; but / think we ought TO give
the public the benefit Of any reduc-
lions
The chances for the s0-cent bill are
q good deal better in the Senate than
are the prospects for the anti-inhation
measure. The latter may come I'D. but
il is much more likely 10 remain in
committee pigeOnhOls the rest OF the
session Not so with the 90-cent bill The
feeling is that some immediate relief
In the matter of the price Of gas is more
important chan action on the anti-infa-
ton measure The bin which the House
has passed. repeating the imitation sec
tion, viii go over 10 next session IN the
Senate Committee.
Indications now are that the Q0-cent
bill has an excellent chance Of becom-
5ng law this session. but that the anti
1nnation act VIII not pass before next
session.

TREATY VIOLATIONS
SHOULD Be CRIME.
LAWYERS ARGUE
Federal Laws Should
Protect Aliens Despite
Statutes of States.
Secretary Root Discusses
Arbitration Before In
ternational Society.

The failure Of the United States Gov
ernment TO discharge its international
duties because of the fear Of interfering
with the sovereign rights OF the various
States, was severely criticised today at
the second annual meeting of the Amer
lean Society OF international Law. The
subject under discussion was Should
the Violation of Treaties Be Made a
Federal OTense?"
Senator Turner Of California main
tained that there should be national
legislation framed TO prevent out
RACES against citizens OF foreign gov
ernments and to punish such violations
Of treaty rights. He said that foreign
nations had a right 10 expect the en-
forcement Of laws IN such cases as we'll
as in the case Of civil or property
rights. He said that legislation could
be 50 drawn that It would minimize
conflicts between State and national
governments and which would cause
little Il any dissatisfaction.
Responsibility and Power.
Representative Shirley. who also spoke
on the same subject said that where
there was responsibility there should
be power He said IL was not adequate
for this Government 10 tel a foreign
nation that We cannot enforce laws
because OF state rights. He said that
great acts Of violence against aliens
should be dealt with by the Federal
courts.
Robert Lansing pointed out that the
United States Government holds foreign
nations responsible for failure of the!~
local authorities TO protect American
I'd
TO carry IN the local courts this Gov
ernment insists upon proper indemnity.
de declared that our system for in
teTnal aiialrs must not intefere with our
international duties, and added that
Justice demands .he abandonment OF
the present policy.
