TOO MUCH REGULATION
More Flexible System for Electrical
 Railways Urged By Pardee
By Associated Press

Washington. September 12.-Credit, which the federal electrical railways commission found to be yitally need ed by the electric railways of the United States can best be restored by regulatory bodies making the rates of return to the systems more flexible, John H. Pardee declared in state ment issued here tonight.
 Tn the electric railway industry said MT. Pardee, 'as in every other business, economic law dictates that the price of the product must be based upon the cost of producing it. In the attempt to regulate the profits and the service. of electric railways this truth has been lost sight of and the operation of these carriers has been so hedged about with laws, ordi- nances, regulations and contract re- strictions that in the main their reve- nue has been controlled by the die tum of commissions and other regu- latory authorities, while their ex- penses have been controlled by eco homie law alone, and have mounted as expenses in all other business and among private individuals have mounted.

 "The peanut industry of the country faces a real crisis MT. Bain said here tonight, fin view of the low duties charged on imported peanuts and vege- table oils the quotations for the latter commodities covering the prices of the former, and where peanut oil sold as high as twenty seven cents per pound last year, it is quoted as low as nine cents at the present time. Oil at nine cents means about three cents per pound for peanuts. and it is highly impracticable to sell to crushers at that figure.

MEXICO OIL RESERVOIR
Offers Most Encouragement to h.
 dustry, Says Review
By Associated Press

Washington, September 12-Mexico promises to become the oil reservoir of the western hemisphere. the department of the petroleum industry in the south ern republic. With increased consump- tion in the United States likely to ex- haust producing fields in this county within twenty or twenty-five years, Mexico, the statement said, offers the most encouragement to the American oil industry. both for present production and geographical situation
 Exhaustion of 40 per cent of the pro- ducing fields of the United States. the departments review stated, has caused Mexico to take second place in oil pro- duction, although only about 12 per cent of the potential capacity of Mexican wells is being actually produced.
 oil exports from Mexico during the first six months of 1920 totaled 60,VOo.Uyl barrels. an increase of P per cent over the previous year. At this rate total ex- ports for the year are. expected, accorJ- ing to the department. to reach 135.0Oo.0vg barrels.
 DeN elopment of the Mexican oil fields, however is only in its infancy, the re- view states adding that of the 231. ..S0 square miles of territory believed to con tain oil deposits. not more than 800 square miles are being exploited. Curtailment of production is being sacrificed owing to lack of transportation and storage fa- ciilties and to the unsettled political con- dftions
 Of the $50 0oo.0o0 estimated to be in vested in the Mexican oil industry, in- ciuding s53,000000 in tankers. about 70 per cent represents American capital. About 2 per cent is British and Dutch capital. and 3 per cent Mexican and other interests.

PREM|ERS OF ITALY AND FRANCE CONFER
Most Important Decision Was Postponement of Abandon
 ment of Geneva Conference
Ky Assoointea press

Aix-fes- Bains, September 12-The Itai- ian and French premiers, Alexandre Mill lerand and Giovanni Giolitti. held their long-awaited conference here today. They met in the morning and discussed interna- tional questions for several hours at the Mirabeau hotel At the first conference they were absolutely alone. the secre- taries only entering the apartment for the purpose of supplying cocu.nents as the premiers required them.
 Count Bonin-Longare, Italian ambas- sador to France. and Camille Barrere, French ambassador to Italy. are here and will take part in the later discussions.
 The most important decision reached by the premiers today seems to have been the postporement or definite abandonment of the Geneva conference.
 M. Millerand announced that this meet ing was decided upon at Spa, but has not yet been held. It is impossible at the present time. even from a merely practical viewpoint for it to take place fiNedsfor September A.
 On the other hand. continued the an- ncuncement. France and Belgium have shown the interest they would have in seeing the reparations commission resume it's role in the study of these questions. Finally the governments will have to con- sider what they have to do.
 ''Signor Giolitti offered no opposition to this policy,
 We must end ehe war" saId Pre- mier Millerand to the Associated Press correspondent at the conclusion of his, afternoon conference with the Italian premier, Signor Giolitti The war must he ended. That is why we have given Poland the counsel of moderation which she seems disposed to follow"
 At the conclusion of the first ses- sion. which lasted three hours, no of- fieial communication was issued but the French premier received in turn the Italian. British, American and French representatives of the press, and said 10 them:
 "Our interviews nave been most cor dial and confident. Naturally we have agreed that an accord between Italy, Great Britain and France is indispen- sable, not only in the interest of the three allied powers but for the main tenance of world peace,
 "The treaty of Versailles must be enforced as well as that of St. Germaln and the others, because they consti- tute an entity, and one of them can not fall without the others being shaken. I am absolutely in accord with that point upon the formula accepted at Lucerne. Treaties must be applied with moderation by the victors and with loyalty blythe vanquished.
 "We also discussed the question of soviets. Evidently each government consults its internal policy before adopting d precise attitude. You know what the French policy Is. The poli- cies of our allies do not appear to be different, in principle, from ours.
 "Settlement of the Adriatic question occupied some of our time. Our posi- ton is unequivocal. Great Britain and France at San Remo-and myself be- fore and after San Remo-have stated that neither Great Britain nor France las the right to sinterfere between two rarties when question concerns them alone"
