LONDON, March A. British Wire less Service. e.)-Commenting on the ac- tion of Hungary, the Times says:
 ''lt is not vet possible to judge the origin and extent Of this last distur bance. In view of certain menaces which German statesmen and the Ger man press have freely employed. and Of the close relations between some Hungarian and German inriguers, t is susceptible of more explanations than one. On the face of it, however, it looks serious"
 The Daily Chronicle says:
 The Rumanians Poles and C'Zecho- Slovaks are pillars, without which nei- ther free central Europe nor a world society based on a league of nations can be sustained. If We can secure their development as free, orderly states, the German dream of Ger manist central Europe. dominating the world. is doomed to disappear. If we tlil to do so. it will assuredly revive, and in connection with German influ- cnces, Russia may revive much sooner than public opinion has yet realized.

the 18TH LEGISLATURE
(centiuusd from Page 1o)


He refers to the question Of inter-
fering with navigation, that this weir
shall not be erected IL it interferes
with navigation. As understand 1t.
the State Of Maine has nothing to
do with the navigation; that il q
federal question, and the party under
this act would have been compelled
to 60 to the Federal government and
get their permission in reference to
navigation. He says also that it
seems that It would affect the priv
ileees of others located there. Mr..
President, I have been connected
with the weir fishery busisenss Tor
over 20 years. / have been in this
harbor, caught fish there and bought
fish there. and in my judgment l do
not feel that it would interfere adj
verscly with others in locating this
one. It could not come within a
thousand feet of any other weir in
that harbor, and l believe the Gov"
ernor is mistaken in his judgment.
notwithstanding that fact, I move
that we accept his veto.
Mr.. DAVIES of Cumberland: de-
sire, Mr.. President, to admit that l
have not studied with any degree or
care the veto Of the Governor in re-
lation to the bill now before the SEN
ate. / have general understanding
i think. however. Of the conditions
which may have influenced the GOV:
ernor in refusing to give his approval
TO tho act.
First, the law provides that men
who desire to build weirs must make.
as / remember it. Mr.. President
must make their application to the
municipal officers for the right to
erect the weir. Now l think 1t is
elementary to say that the municipa4
oficers probably know more about
the conditions in relation to the erec-
ton of weirs than the Legislature.
In this particular case the people DE-
string to erect q weir made no appil-
cation to the municipal officers for a
license to erect 1t, and until that had
been done and the license had oeen
refused, it does not seem to me. Mr..
President, that the legislature shouio
attempt to license the people VINO de-
sire to erect a weir near the town OF
:Jonsport until such time as 1t has
been shown, at least. that the NUM-
cipal officers had refused to grant the
license.
The PRESIDENT pro tenn: The
Chair would ask the senator from
Washington, Senator Peacock. II ne
knows that there are only IL sena-
tors present?
Mr.. PEACOCK: Mr.. President, l
move that 1t be laid on the table I'M
iii a sufficient number Of senators
