VOICES PRINCIPLES
FOR WORLD TRADE

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 21.-sev-
eraI principles of international trade
after final peace, which cannot be
too widely understood. were set. forth
here today by William B. Colver.
chairman of the Federal Trade Com
mission, in an address to the Amer
lean Specially Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
One concerns the proposal to adopt
by law a national trade mark such as
Made in U. s. A."
This will be Objectionable II IL puts
a stamp of equality on inferior ex-
ports as compared, with exports Of
merit and equality. II such q trade
mark is adopted. he said. its use
should be permitted only on honest
goods which come up to a sample to
be filed with the Government. That
would build q reputation and increase
the demand for products of the Uni
ted States.
Americas foreign trade, after final
peace, must be based on fair ex-
change of commodities.
A new commercial program, based
on fair exchange, but tending to in
crease the debt OF other nations to
US. would make US the most hated
nation in the world, CoIver said.
Americas aim, he added, must be to
export less raw material, and more
finished products. This will be the
arrangement most profitable to the
United States.
The problem for the manufacturer
is to obtain knowledge of the needs
and tastes of foreign peoples with
whom we would deal, so that we may
offer them what they want, and as
they want It. We must adopt the
policy. said Colver. that the customer
Is always right.

HIGHER
SUBURBAN FARES

The petition of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company for
an increase in cash and communica-
ton fares on suburban lines. is now
before the fifteenth section board
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Representatives of the fifteenth
section board heard arguments for
and against the increase yesterday.
Following the informal hearing the
petition was referred to the fifteenth
section board proper.
After the board passes on the Pc
tition. it will be taken up and finally
passed upon by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Final action by the Interstate Com

pany. A. G. Neal, acting comptroller,
and S. r. Bowen, attorney for the.
company. spoke in support of the in
crease. before representatives OF the
fifteenth section board.
IF we are to give those citizens
of the suburbs of Washington the
service commensurate with their needs
the proposed increase must be grant
ed" said Mr.: Ham. THE expenses
of the company have Increased to such
an extent that the increase is nothing
but fair. II we lowered our service
to the standard measured by present
rates. it will be inefficient and we
would not permit that state OF affairs
to exist
Suburbanites Protest.
Suburbanites, who will be affected
by the increased rate plan II It goes
into effect, appeared before the board
in the afternoon and presented their
side of the argument
Better service on the suburban
lines could be given by the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
without an increase in fare" said
Charles N. Clagett, OF HyattsvilIe,
Nd.
THE cost of operating the cars and
the scarcity of motormen and con-
ductors has not increased sufficiently
to permit an increase in fare. Many
of the residents of suburbs feel dis
inclined to pay more fare, because
the service now rendered by the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company is not of the best"

Further ramiications OF the work
ana activity of the United States
Brewers Association and the allied
trades in their combat against the
drys were brought out today at the
hearing under the Jones resolution
before the Oyerman subcommittee of
the Senate judiciary Committee.
Much of the time was taken up by
Major Humes, who is in charge OF the
inquiry for the committee, reading
into the record extracts from
speeches made by Percy Andrea at
Atlantic City in 1918, One of these
speeches was made to the United
States Brewers Association In that
year and the other at a subsequent
meeting. also at Atlantic City, in the
same year, when the National Asso-
citation Of Commerce and Labor was
formed. This organization was head
ed by Andrea, and was formed among
the interests allied with the brewers.
Wanted Organization.
The speeches of Andrea revealed
that he wanted the brewers to make
compact and perfect organization
to fight the organization of the Anti
Saloon League and that he wanted
chef attention centefed on Washing
kon. He expressed his fear of action
by Congress in the submission OF
proposed constitutional amendment to
make the nation drv.

REACH COMPROMISES on
PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES

Washington. June 21.-A compro-
mise in the controversy in Congress
over Federal purchase of pneumatic
mail tube systems in several of the
large cities of the country, proposed
in a Senate amendment to the post
Office appropriation bill, was reached
to-day by Senate and House conferees.
1t was agreed to submit the entire
matter to the Interstate Commerce
Commission with a requirement for
report from the commission next
December regarding whether the
tubes should be purchased, their
lease continued or abandoned as a
mail auxiliary service. During the
investigation the tubes would be con-
tinued in operation until March A.,
1919.
Postmaster General Burleson was
reported to-day to oppose the com
promise and still demanding aban-
donment of the tubes. He has writ

FAST, LIGHT AIRPLANES.
VIII BE Produced In The American
Factories Soon.

Washington, June 21.-American
airplane factories soon will be called
upon to produce a fast single-seated
fighting plane in addition to the
bombing planes now being construct
ed. Preparations for the production
of the smaller and lighter plane, 1t is
stated authoratively, are under way,
although details as to construction
and tests of the machine have not
been made public.
The new planes will be the first of
the type to be constructed in this
country for the American govern
ment. On account of the constant
improvements being made upon the
fast machines, upon recommendation
of Gen. Pershing, all previous con
tracts, amounting to approximately
SG5,OOO,OOO, were placed with firms
abroad.
Decision to build the single-seated
palnes in this country is taken to in
dictate that army officials believe the
day of the two man duels in the air
is passing and that the pursuit planes
are becoming more and more useful.

YANKS HOLD THIRTY-THREE
MILES OF FIGHTING FRONT

Washington, June 21.-American
soldiers are now holding the fighting
line for a distance of thirty-thTee
miles on the western front, according
to information given members of the
House Military Committee to lay at
the weekly conference with Secretary
Baker and General March, Chief nj
staff.
This milage is held by "all Ameri-
can" forces under command of Alne1i-
can officers, located at six different
places along the fighting line. other
Americans are at the front with
British and French units.
Members of the committee were
told again that there was no thought
of diminishing the movement of
troops across the Atlantic because of
the operation of U-boats off the Amer
lean coast.
After the conference Representa-
tive Caldwell, of New York, said as
far as America is concerned, 1.-The war
will begin next September" BY that
time materials now being manufac-
tured will be ready in great abund-
ance for making the presence of Am
erican troops felt by the enemy, and
the fighting planned for the United
States soldiers will have begun.
Fighting on the Italian front was
discussed and military authorities de-
clared It has not reached a stage to
be considered serious for the allies.
Members of the committee said a
sufficient number of rapid-flre guns
now is being manufactured here TO
supply the needs of American troops
and that the output will be increased
as needed.

U. s. TROOP TRANSPORT
ESCAPES FROM U-BOAT.

An Atlantic Port, June 21.-An
American troop transport formerly a
German liner, which returned this
week from French port, was subject
ed to shellfire attack from a Ger
man submarine two days out from
the port of departure, it became
known here to-day. The transport
escaped by superior speed, although
a running battle lasting more than
an hour took place in which more
than 100 shots were fred by the two
vessels.
The submarine appeared to have
one gun that outranged any carried
by the transport and from this gun
there were counted thirty-five shots,
none of which, however, hit the
American ship. The submarine did
not venture close enough to use a
torpedo.

WILL CALL FOR
TROOPS IN RUSSIA

London. Germany is about to
withdraw the bulk of her troops now
in Russia for service on the Western
front, according to statement in
Maxim Gorky's newspaper, the Pet
rograd Novaia Zhesn, quoted by the
Daily News correspondent at Stock
holm.
The Novaia Zhisn claims to give the
text of a dispatch sent by General
Falkenhayn, former chief of the Ger
man general staff, which, it says, was
intercepted, in which General Falken-
hayn declares that the battles on the
Western front are critical and de-
cisive, but that in order to insure def
mite victory and the end of the war;
the concentration of enormous forces
will be necessary.
'In view of the fact that our troops
on the Russian and Ukraine fronts
have attained their Objects" the dis
patch continues, land are now rest
ing, the Emperor has instructed the
general staff to take measures for the
transportation to France of the ma
jority of the German forces in White
Russia, Ukrain and Great Russia,
leaving there only small attachments
necessary to maintain ORDER
The transportation, according to
the quoted message, was to be eff
fected within seven days. Strong
measures were to be taken against
possible interference by employees of
the Russian railway with the troop
movement.
