SEES NO EXCUSE.
FOR MILK RAISE
-o--s', a.
3. & O. R. R. Official Says
Freight Increase Justifies
No Price Boost.

Increases in the price OF milk
shipped to Washington win not be
warranted by higher transportation
charges, in view of the relatively
small increase in such charges per
quart. according to statement today
by George N Shriver, vice president
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
There can be no good excuse for a
raise in the price Of milk" Mr..
increase applied to the quart is so
trivial that it would be unfair, indeed,
to raise><he price of milk even 1>scent
per quart, based on higher transporta-
tion charges.
Small Increase Per Quart.
Mr.. shriver quoted figures showing
that the average rate of increase per
quart within fifty miles radius Of the
ranges from 1 Y to 1h mills per quart.
He says If a dealer raised the price /
cent on a quart of milk he would be
getting eight times what he would
rate on account Of the increase in
transportation charges.
From Frederick. Md, to Washington
the present rate Is s mills or eight
tenths Of enc cent per quart. Under
the new milk rate the raiae would be
i "a HILLS. <AuAHaCOWn TO w 9SN.
inEton the present rate on milk is 7N
mills and under the new rate it would
be 91a mills.
Other Raises Unjusts
Mr. Shriver also quoted figures show
ing that excessive boosts in prices Of
other commodities are altogether unjus-
st1aed on the basis Of higher rail charges.
1ye increase on suit of mems cloth
ing from Baltimore to Washington. un-
der the new rate, is half a cent and one
pair Of mems shoes approximately the
same. The rate on 4 dozen oranges
from Pasadena. Cal. to Washington is
raised about 8 cents, while on a peck
Of apples from Marti1sburE. w. Va. to
this city the rate is ta:sed 2 cents. A
!! cent raiae y made per pound on
ington, and. a general increase OF 2
cents per pound from Chicago on pack
ing house products.
Tho increased charges on a dozen
eggs from Chicago to Washington would
be little more than half q cent, while
the new rate on pound OF butter from
Chicago would be less than half a cent.

ROOTS CONCEPTION
OF LEAGUE DIFFERS
FROM PARTY VIEWS
indicates That Court and
League Would Be Ineffec- :
tive if Separated.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Elihu Root has an entirely different
conception of the relationships between
the league of nations and the world
court of justice than prevails in the
minds Of many republican leaders, in
Guiding perhaps Senator Harding. For
while the:republican candidate.s Latest
speech has been Interpreted as meaning
that the league could be rejected and
Eave recently discussed the matter
with Mr.. Root in Europe say separa-
ton of the two projects would leave
untouched a vast number Of causes
of war which are not within the domain
of jurists Of legal bodies, created by the
world court.
"One of the most serious misappre-
tensions in America regarding the
league of nations" writes an Ameri-
can who has just made an analysis Of
the permanent court of justice and
the rest Of the league. and a misap-
prehension which might have very
far-reaching and deplorable effects,
concerns the interdependence of the
permanent court of international JUS
tice and the other branches Of league
activity Recent discussions and press
comment have shown tendency to-
ward an utter misunderstanding Of this
relationship.
Court Backbone of League.
First, it must be stated uneouiyo-
ea!ly that the permanent court is not
only an essential part of the league
is. indeed, the very back bone of the
league, but beyond that is wholly in
separab Bile from it, The two are in
tertwined and interdependent to such
g. degree that neither could function
properly without the other.
y The permanent court in the first
place owes its origin to the covenant
OF the league. 1t was because of ar
ticle. IA of the covenant, because of
nomination by the council of the
league and through the extraordinary
preparatory work of the secretariat
of the league that the commission of
Jur1sts was able to meet at The Haeue
and carry out it's work SO effectively
Had 1t not been for the league the
best that could have been hoped for
would have been that some govern
ment of it's own initiative might have
called such a group of men together.
but these men would have met with
very little authority: would have
been the mere representatives of
chosen governments rather than of a
world organizations: would have been
aided by practically no preliminary
work, and would have had such in
adequate staff as a single govern
ment could give. This. however, is the
mechanical side.
