too MUCH REGULATION,
SAYS TAFT At DINNER
Former President Agrees With Presi-
dent Elliott of the New
Haven Railroad.

BOSTON, Mass, January 9.-"The
people are regulating too much, the
pendulum has swung too far the other
way" said former President Taft in
speaking of railroad matters at the
alumni dinner Of the Massachusetts
institute of Technology tonight.
: Mr.. Taft's view was In agreement
sxith that voiced in previous speech
by Howard Elliott, president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad. who expressed the opinion
that the regulatory power of the gov
ernment was going too far.
'At first" said Mr.. Taft, the railroads
They violated the law. did things they
should not do, defied the people as they
did the interstate commerce commission
during the early part Of it's life. But
they found, as everybody else will find
that nobody can defy the people on ques-
tions of justice.
Il agree with President Elliott that
the pendulum now has swung too far,
that the people are regulating too much,
and consequently the people are hurt
ing themselves. We must retrace our
steps if we would actually work for
good"

TO STOP WOOL EXPORTS
FROM U.S TO GERMANY
Great Britain Alleges American
Manufacturers Are Violating
an Agreement.

Determination of Great Britain to
stop the alleged practice by American
merchants Of exporting to Germany
both wool and wooden products manu-
factured in the United States even if
it becomes necessary to withdraw the
recent notifications of the embargo on
Australian wool, is recorded in notice
officially served on the State Depart
ment.
Belief that New England merchants
and manufacturers began exporting to
Germany simultaneously with the an
nouncement that Australian wool might
be exported to the United States, is
said to be grounds for this attitude of
Great Britain. That nation looks upon
such expectation as an act of bad faith
toward itself.
No Further Objections Expected.
State Department officials said last
evening that the United States govern
ment could not be expected to inter-
pose further objection to the Australian
embargo if American merchants con-
tinued to seek to supply German mar
kets with woolen goods.
1t was pointed out that it is entirely
within the right of Great Britain or
any other government to control Its
export trade through embargoes, such
as have been laid upon wool and rub
ber. In the case of the latter COM
modify the same complaint had been
made by the British of large exports of
rubber, both crude and manufactured.
from America, either directly or in
directly, to Germany and Austria. at
time when the American manufac-
turers were pleading that there was
great shortage of rubber to meet the
internal demands of the United States.
Tries New Plan.
The British government, in regula-
tions announced Friday, is trying a
new plan to prevent what it regards
as Illicit traffic in rubber and will
closely observe it's workings.
The embargo upon Australian wool
expectation never was actually lifted
The colonial authorities simply an
nounced that they were prepared to al
low individuals to ship wool to the
United States under special license in
the case of each shipment. Conse-
quently it is entirely within the power
of the British officials to punish any
American manufacturers who violate
the terms of the agreement not to re-
ship wool or wooden products to Ger
many, by withdrawing the license privi-
lege and re-establishing the complete
embargo.
