Boche Already Prepared
To Compete with World
(Public Ledger-Washington Herald
Service, Special Cable Dispatch.)

(Public Ledger-WashinEton Herald
Service. Special Cable Dispatch)
London, March 10.-'German COM
petition is nearer than we expect. 1t
is immediate" said Irving T. Bush,
of New York, who is building $10,-
600, 900 trades exhibition building on
the Strand. in an interview with
London newspaper.
Where Germany can supply her
self with raw materials she is ready
to supply goods at once" said Mr..
Bush. In those articles which she
can manufacture of steel and wood.
or in pottery, there is no reason why
she cannot go into markets right
away. In trades where she must
buy raw materials she is terrible
handicapped and must devise some
system of credit or manufacture.
Germany must either get to work
and support herself or become dere-
lict and be ripe for any kind of So
cial unrest. Competition between
nations is just like a competition
between individuals. The individ-
ual who makes the hest article and
sells it at the lowest price will sue
ceed. So it is with a nation. Labor
often forgets that.
Next to Belgium I saw greater
earnestness in Germany than in
other countries on the continent"

HOUSE TO ACT
ON FLOUR BILL
Committee to Consider Pro-
posal Monday to Ship
Flour to Europe.

The House will consider the reso-
luton authorizing Julius II. Barnes,
chairman of the United States Grain
Corporation. to send 100000 bar
rels of -four to the starving people
of Europe under a special rule on
Monday, according to an announce
ment made yesterday by Represen-
tative Bertrand II. Smell. of New
York, acting chairman OF the Rules
Committee.
Although Mr.. Barnes told the
roady had sufficient authority TO
transport the flour to these people
and sell It on credit, he asked for
special authorization in order TO
prevent any misunderstanding.
The resolution was drawn up by
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee and presented on Saturday as
a revision of the proposal to loan
Europe $50, 100000 to meet the pres
ent crisis. The understanding al
the time was that the Rules Com
mittee would open the way for con-
sideration of the matter imme-
,diately.
In spite of the protests of MEM
bers of The Ways and Means Com
mittee, the matter has been delayed
for a week. although il was empha-
sized that the need for food was i'm
perative.

IXPRECEDENT
IN RENT CASES
Tenants Should Refuse to
Pay Increases Until Land
lords Get Authorization.

Another precedent for guidance
OF tenants was set yesterday by
the District Rent Commission,w which
held tenants cannot appeal from
demands for increased rental until
the increase becomes effective. 1t
was pointed out that the proper
procedure is for the tenant to re-
fuse to pay the increase until the
landlord obtains an authorization
for 1t from the Rent Commission.
The commission handed down
three opinions yesterday. all OF
which denied requests of landlords
to oust tenants.
Request by Joseph Ferrero for a
writ of dispossession against three
tenants of property at 417-421 Four
teenth street northwest for the pur-
pose of razing the building and
erecting a new structure was re-
fused by Judge Doyle, of the Mu-
nicipal Court, on the ground that
the finding of the Rent Commission
was incomplete.
wrangIe Over Sub-lease.
The commission has under advise
ment the case of Mrs. Margaret A.
w. Robinson VS.. Richard B. Blythe.
Mrs. Robinson, who is "A years old,
sublets one room and the kitchen
of her apartment at the Brunswick
to Blythe. who is a cripple. She is
seeking the kitchen for her own

Toll, Poindexter Says.
HOUSE STILL TO ACT

A joint resolution was approved
by the Senate yesterday to open
naval radio stations for commercial
uses. The resolution. still pending
in the House. was introduced in the
Senate by Poindexter. of Washing
ton.
\ If approved by the House. the
measure is expected to greatly
cheaper radio tolls.
Present facilities would be more
than doubled.
Restrictions Harm Business.
Pointing out, that a recent execu-
tive order forbids the use of gov
ernment radio stations by the pub
lie if a commercial station is oper-
ating within 100 miles. the resolu-
tion stated that enforcement of this
order would he destructive to. Amer
lean business interests.
1t declared that no commercial
radio company is equipped to han
die the present volume of business.
Congress to Fix Rates.
The measure provides that rates
for the service shall be fixed by
Congress, and that the receipts
shall be turned into the Treasury.
1t specifies that communication
shall be opened to the public both
for messages within the territory
of the United States and between
the United States and foreign
countries.
An amendment by Senator King,
of Utah, provides that tolls shall
not be less than the cost of trans
mission.

TAXI CO.
HAS MONOPOLY
Treadway Would Give Sta
ton Parking Space to
Government.

Immediate legislation to vest
ownership OF the public space about
Union Station in the government.
under the Jurisdiction of the Dis
trict authorities, was advocated yes
terday by Representative Allen T,
Treadway. of Massachusetts, before
the Zihlman subcommittee of the
House District Committee at a pub
lie hearing on Zihlman's bill to
amend the Districts traffic laws.
Treadway protested, as a private
citizen, against the monopoly of
parking space granted the Terminal
TaXicab Company by the Washing
ton Terminal Company. ITO the ex-
clusion of citizens and public hack
ers. He declared he had been order
ed not to park his car there by the
police.
Treadway urged immediate en-
actment of legislation to dissolve
the monopoly exercised by the taxi
company on authority of the Wash
ington Terminal Company. He de-
clared. the taxi company, for a s65
license fee operates blue sky
garage"
Police Lieutenant w. S. Shelby OF
the traffic squad" declared condi-
tions at the station are atrocious and
that the space in front of the sta
tion has to be roped off to prevent
hackers from endangering the lives
of the public by cruising. He also
urged the necessity of special
traffic court in the District.

ALLIES SILENT
ON TURK
Supreme Council Also Fails
To Inform u. S. of Re-
construction Plans.

This government has not received
from the supreme council of the
allies its plan for the rehabilitation
of Europe as given out Tuesday in
London, nor a copy of the proposed
plan of the allies looking toward
Turkish settlements.
So far as the government knows
the allies are proposing to galvan-
ize Europe without the assistance of
the United States, as this country
is not named in the scheme. Ger
many and Austria are specifically
named as beneficiaries OF the plans,
but Russia is not mentioned. 1t Is
supposed that she also will be a
beneficiary, but under a plan not
yet communicated to the United
States.
The policy of the United States
in announcing officially no further
loans to the allies, il is thought. may
account for the fact that the United
States is not made a party by the
supreme council in the effort to re-
construct Europe.
1t is possible. however. that the
allies believe that they may raise
money in the United States from
unofficial or private sources.

COAL COMPANY
ATTACKSLAW
Ohio Operators Claim U. S,
Ruling Raises Cost of
Production.

Claiming that the law authoriz-
ing the Federal Trade Commission
to require coal operators to file
monthly statements covering every
phase of the mining and selling of
coal Is working a hardship on min
ing companies. the Maynard Coal
Company. of Columbus, Ohio. asked
the District Supreme Court yester-
day to enjoin the commission from
demanding further reports.
The reports required, according
to the petition, make IL impossible
for operators to make true reports
concerning the cost of mining and
distributing coal. Furthermore. it is
charged, the work entails the keep
ing of a separate set of books and
a separate set of employees, and adds
to cost of coal.
Aff1davits from other coal COM
panies accompany the request for
injunction.

Company will also apply to the
Capital Traction Company, which is
not seeking higher fares, Walter c.

Public Utilities Commission indi-
Gated yesterday. He said the Capt.
