tween naval aviation forces and the
fleet, experiment in submarine attack
problems and tactical maneuvers under
high speed, in addition to the usual
strenuous program of target practice
are expected to keep officers and men

opportunity to experiment with the
practicability of large tactical units
carrying their own flying forces.
After spending month at Guantan-
amo the crews will be given a brief
respite from the strenuous round of
drills when the seventh division of
dreadnaughts goes to Barbardoes and
the fifth to Trinidad performing tacti-
cal maneuvers EN- route. D On February

where they will remani until March A,
giving all hands an opportunity for
shore leave at the canal. Leaving
Colon March 4, the fleet will return to
Cuba and continue exercises and man
euvers, including main battery target
practice, until April 26, when the
homeward bound pennants will be broll-
en- out and the return voltage started.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1O-.At-
tOrney General u. s. Webb in an
opinion rendered yesterday ruled
that the Henderson Milk Trust and
its affiliated units must stand trial
i'm the courts in suits brought i'm the
name of the People of the State of
California.
Il can conceive of no more vicious
type of monopoly" says the attorney
general. Under his ruling Hendersons
State Combinations, with headquarters
in San Francisco. and uits in Sacramen-
to, Modesto, Fresno, and Imperial val
ley, will be hailed before the courts for
trial as to the legality of their opera
tiOns.
The attorney general holds that the
operations of Henderson and his co-pro-
motors are essentially monopolistic and
a nance both to the consuming public
and the producing dairymen.
His action means that the time has
come for judicial decision of the right
of a frankly monopolistic organization
to seek cover under the non-profit law.
1t brings in question the validity of
bond fioatations by the Sacramento and
Modesto units. that have put out secur.
tiles aggregating $27O,0OO. 1t raises an
issue with Harris Weinstock, who as
state market director, has aided in the
promotion of the Henderson plan for
the control of dairy products in Cali
fornia.
Market Dominated
After questioning Henderson's state
ment to prospective bond buyers that
the milk trust controlled IS percent of
the dairy products entering the San
Francisco market, and S5 percent in
Los Angeles, Webb says Another fea-
ture of the matter under consideration,
which is made apparent by the record
before me and which l feel it my duty
to consider and advert to herein, is the
frankly monopolstic purpose and char
acter of the parent and affiliated COR
porations under consideration and the
advance in the price of milk to the con-
sumer, which is, apparently, due at
least in part to this general monopo.
listic scheme
CrOOlIedness Charged
''As milk, butter and cheese consti-
tute three OF the most essential and me-
cessary food products l can conceive no
more vicious type or monopoly than
one which controls the supply and
price of from rs to so percent OF such
products entering the two principal
centers of distribution within this state.
1T thus appears that these organi
cations have the power to control the
price paid for milk to the producer and
Increase the price paid by the consum
er. That power existing, even IL il be
admitted that it has not heretofore
been fully exercised it Is too much 10
expect that ii will remain unused The
power to exploit either the producer or
tn Consumer ought not to exist and
there is surely much reason for judicial
inquiry respecting any corporations
that admittedly have power TO exploit
both. The possession of such powers In
concerns chartered as cooperative non
profit corporations furnishes additional
reasons for such inquiry"
As to the frankly monopoIistic fea-
lures of this milk company the attorney

ONLY TWO HUNDRED
TWO WORDS


Every member Of the United States
Senate and Of the House of Represen-
tative that has held Office since 1923
has at some time or other discussed
the Monroe Doctrine. There Is not
person In this country who has not
heard of that famous document. Dur
ing the past year it has perhaps been
the subject of more discussion than
at any previous time. The indica-
tions are that 1t will be discussed
considerably during the present year.
Comparatively few people, however,
have ever taken the trouble to read
it, being under the impression that 1t
is of great length. AS a matter Of
fact, it contains only 202 words. 1t
was contained in President Monroe's
message to Congress little more
than ninety-six years ago-December
2, 1923, in the following words:
"In the discussion to which this In
terest has given rise, and in the ar.
rangements by which they may term
mate, the occasion has been deemed
proper for asserting as a principle
In which rights, and interests of the
United States are involved, that the
American Continents, by the free and
Independent condition which they
have assumed and maintain, are
henceforth not to be considered as
subjects of future colonization OF any
European power. We owe 1t, there.
fore, to candor and to the amicable
relations existing between the United
States and those powers to declare
that we should consider any attempt
on their part to extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies Of depend
encies of any European power we
have not interfered and shall not in
terfere. But with the governments
who have declared their independence
and maintain it, and whose independ-
ence we have, on great consideration
and on just principles, acknowledged,
we could not view any interposition
for the purpose of depressing them or
controlling in any other manner their
destiny by any European power IN
any other light than as the manifesto
ton of an unfriendly disposition to
ward the United States"

London, Feb 27.--It is estimated by
some woollen spinners that the Brit
ish government made 60,000,000
pounds from the sales Of Australian
wool last year and thus far in 1920.
Replying to charges that both the
government and the Yorkshire spin
ners had made excessive profits, Sir
Arthur Goldfinch, chairman of the
Wool Council of the Ministry of Mu-
nitions, told representative Of the
Evening Standard that it was true the
government was reselling merina and
cross-bred wool from Australia and
New Zealand at a price very much
higher" than the basic price at which
1t was purchased.
ut was clearly understood he
said, that when the wool was no
longer needed for military purposes
it should be sold at market rates and
the dominions should receive one-half
of the profit Australia and New zea-
land are clearly entitled to this.
"The rise in wool is confined to the
more expensive quantities merino and
fine cross-bred. Medium and low
cross-bred woods are abou~tthe same
price as in 1916, calculated In British
currency, but calculated In United
States, Dutch and Scandinavian cur
rency the prices for such classes OF
wool are considerably cheaper than
they were during the war, and almost
the same as they were six years ago
There has been ag reat run on the
finer classes of wool, which are now
being consumed more rapidly thar
they are grown, and great rise In
price was natural and almost inevita
ble."
Yorkshire spinners say that tnel
simply could not help making profits
"a spinner has nothing to do in thes'
days but sit STILL" said one, "an'
money rains in his lap"
A trade correspondent of the Time
asserts that prices have been rushe'
up by the demand from the continent
The bulk of the wool on cloth and
large proportion of the worsted, it !
stated, is going to Germany throug
