PARIS, May 12-(By The Asso- 1 cia.ed Press)-The league of Red 1 Cross societies of the world which has been formed to unite relief efforts is inspired by the same purpose that moved the formation of the league of nations. President Wilson declared in a letter written to H. P. Dayison, who worked our the plans for the Red Cross league. The letter, which was made public today, reads:
 My Dear MT. Davison: Permit me to congratulate you and your asso- ciates representing the Red Cross so- cieies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan upon the formation of league of Red Cross societies designed to unite the Red Cross societies of the world in active cooperation against the miser- ies which arise from disease and dis aster. l know that the formation of the league marks the achievement of a plan cherished by you for many months, plan with which I had in- stinctive sympathy when you broach- ed it to me upon it's inception in your thoughts, not only because it promis- ed development of Red Cross use fitness, but also because saw in it a kindred purpose to that which in- spired us with the design of the league of nations-a purpose to draw all people into concerted action for the welfare of the world
 Although the league of. Red Cross societies has no formal utilization with the league of nations, it is so ob- viously conceived in the spirit of the league that we incorporated it's pur- poses in an article of the covenant I know that both your committee and the international committee of the Red Cross purpose an organic union as soon as the temper of the world will permit
 T wish all speed to that consum- both for the promotion of Red Cross activity and for the prompt of the time when peace and good will shall pe written in mems hearts as plainly as it is now being written in their covenants.
 Cordially and sincerely yours,

PHOENIX, May 12.-The Noun tain States Telephone and Tele- graph compny may charge it's in- creased rates, against which the Arizona corporation commission has protested, until the supreme court fthe United States has de- cided similar protest now be- fore it. This was the ruling to- cay of Judge Lyman in the supe- rior court.
 Judge Lyman granted the cor poration commission an order last week temporarily restraining the company from putting it's ad- Vanced ccheduIe into effect.

The court or dered that the company might collect it's increased charges and refund the difference if the deci- sion in the United States supreme court eventually goes against it. The company undertook not to re- move the phones of, subscribers who refused to pay the increased rates.
 Attorneys for the company contend that it should not have been made a party to the suit, that the federal administration was responsible for the increased charges and that the orders from Washington left the company no alternative.

U. s. JOINS ALLIES IN CONSORTIUM TO ASSIST CHINA WITH FINANCES

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Organi- zation of new consortium for finane- ing Chinese leans, announced today in Paris dispatches, is regarded in off cial circles here as triumph for the new American principle of extension of the scope of participation in inter national financial arrangements.
 At the state department it was said officially that under the conditions which are to govern the new consor- tium the government practically, if not in specific terms, guarantees the in vestments of the banking group in terested. It was announced that if the terms of che loan are just and the conditions fair, and if China agrees to the terms under which the loans are made, this government would as- sure the bankers that the United States would protect all the interests secured in good faith.
 Thirty-seven American banks, it was learned, are interested in the loans that will be made to China by NAS AhbCA hdlAOhOA SlOup- nlS IS uu- derstood to have (been one of the points contended for by the state de- partment after the United States with drew from the former consortium be- cause this American representation was limited to four large New York banks, and no other American banks could secure an interest in Chinese loans.

 While the present organization is a four power group, the United States Great Britain, France and Japan with a reservation for Belgium when the bankers of that country are able to participate, it is not limited to these countries.
