ID ANALYzE HIGH
 PRICED ABSTRACTS
Realty Dealers Say Title Ex- aminations Have In-
 creased Beyond Limit

Whether prices being charged for
 abstract and title work in the city by
 those engaged in this work is exorbit-
 ant is the important question that is to be brought before the meeting of the Real Estate Exchange to be held at the Southern Club today at 1 o'clock. Many property owners over the city have raised objections to the recent
 raise in title and abstract work and
 declare that they will not stand for it. Most of them say they would not have raised objections to a fair increase in charges for this work. but that the re- cent increase in several eases has been
 known to reach as high as 300 and
 even 400 per cent.
 Glenn c. Gazzam, local representative of a mortgage loan concern, is to tell
 the realtors at the meeting today what constitutes fair price for this work and it is probable that investigations Of the fairness of prices included in the recent increase will be made. One real estate man related an in stance where he had been charged for recent abstract a price above that lsformerly charged for the same work at rate of more than 500 per cent in- crease.
 While realtors will not have to pay these prices, the owner of the property being the one who pays, they, never theless, consider it their business and are bent on determining whether the new rate is not excessively high.

WOULD GIVE NO RELIEF

Discussing war legislation affected by the resolution. the report said such an enactment would give mo relief from the burdens, inconveniences, extravagances and losses which come from the existence of this legislation
 Congress has power to repeal it and should address itself to this task instead of frittering away it's time attempting to pass unconstitutional legislation for the purpose of embarrassing the execu- tive department of the government or for some other political purpose" the report added.
 Regarding the section of the resolution requiring adherence by Germany to cer- tain clauses of the treaty of Versailles, the report declared
 Ut is astonishing that the Congress should seriously consider the proposition that our country should seek protection of treaty which it has not the courage to ratify. In this attempt 1t may cause untold embarrassment and great loss to America
 Under the treaty, Germany can become a member of the League of Nations. and having under this resolution all the rights 1t would have had under the treaty

when it became a member of the League of Nations, it would be entitled to assert against the United States the same rights which any other nation would have been entitled to assert against this gov ernment had our country ratified the treaty.
 We would thus be in the position of be- ing compelled to protect the independence and territorial integrity of Germany against the aggressions of any or all ot our former allies. We would thus be ex- tending to Germany protection and rights which the leadership of the Senate have so violently proclaimed that we would never extend. to any nation on the face of the earth.
 ''We have refused to enter into any such obligations with our allies. and yet by this resolution we propose to give the benefits of those obligations to Germany.
