REPRESENTATIVE OF
JAPAN RAPS AMERICA
Says Nipponese Cannot Re-
duCe Their Armament
While the United States
Continues to Increase.

Geneva, Dec. II (by The
Associated Press) w orld
disarmament must be a slow
and gradual process, the
league of nations assembly
commission, which has been
celebrating on the question
more than three weeks, de-
cided today. Opinions of
leading members are that
neither the political situa-
tion nor public opinion is yet
ready for full realization of
that object.
In fact even beginning reduction
of armaments is not considered
possible by the commission at pres
eht. Accordingly, the program to
be presented to the assembly is to
proceed in three stages The first
involves an agreement between
the powers to make no further in
crease in armament. The second
Will provide gradual reduction on
a basis to be laid down by the arm
ament commission. The third will
provide for general and complete
disarmament when it may be found
that the situation permits II.

The covenant again gave rise to
a long and confused debate In the
assembly this afternoon. The ques-
tions was how to choose the -four
elected members OF the council
The committee, which decided the
most important point by only one
majority, after a long discussion,
proposed that the terms of these
members be limited to tive years
and that members shall be eligible
for reelection for two years more,
then Ineligible for reelection the
succeeding four years, This pro-
vision is intended to facilitate ac-
cess to the council to all members
of the league.
Another provision which was
more stoutly contested apportloned
members among the different con-
tinents, Europe and the Americas
getting three and Asia one. The
provision is held contrary to the
covenant, which provides that the
assembly shall freely" choose the
members of the council. while APP
portionment would tie the hands
of the next assembly.

SANTA FE TO LOWER FREIGHT
RATES In SOME PARTS OF The
STATE AS RESULT OF HEARING
Important Conference Between State Corpor-
alton Commission and the Freight Agent of
the Railroad Will Lead to Material Changes,
Is Belief
BY CLINTON P. ANDERSON.

Santa Fe, Dec 11.-Materia'
changes in certain freight rates In
the state of New Mexico. which
should be of immense benefit to
the localities involved are sure to
result from the hearing held at the
offices of the state corporation COM
mission between f. b. Houghton.
freight agent of the Santa Fe and
the members of the commission
with Hugh T. Williams, chairman,
presiding.
The commission pointed out to
Mr.. Houghton that the coal rates
in parts of the state were out of
reason. For instance, there has
long been a "paper" rate of $f.0S
boring towns THIS rate has not
been used since the coal could be
hauled more cheaply in wagons
and trucks. Mr.. Houghton prom
.sed to establish rate which
would be low enough to allow coal
W DiONc DN Idll.
The rate on coal between Ceril-
los and Santa Fe to be reduced as
will the rate between Cerrillos and
Bernalillo. The rate from Gallup
to Los Lunas was shown to be
higher than the rates to Belen and
Albuquerque and this will be ad-
justed.
Adjustment Is Likely.
The rate from Carthage to Ell
Paso was formerly the same as that
TO Deming. During the federal ad-
ministration, change was made
which raised the Deming rate. Mr..
Hcrghton indicated that an adj
justment would be made which
would restore uniformity in the
rates.
At the present time, the rate from
Carthage to Spalding and Hurley
is $S.12k, while the rate from
Gallup to Albuquerque is s3.S7 1a
AS the hauls are similar and the
distance correspond. the commits
sion asked that the rate of $3.l2i2
be applied between Gallup and AL
huquerque.
The commission showed that the
lrate from Gallup to Silver City
land the surrounding region was
lower than the rate to Deming

/ This rate will be lowered so that
the Deming charge Is as low or
lower than the Silver City rate.
May Lower Raton-Vcgas Rate.
Mr.. Houghton promised to look
into the possibility of lowering the
rate from Ration to Las Vegas. At
the present time the charge is the
same as that from Ration to Santa
Ife.
On the question of sand and
gravel, a milage scale will be in
stituted Immediately. At the pres
ent time, gravel pits for road work
are opened up between stations
and there is no rate available. A
mileage scale is to be established
which should mean substantial
reduction in most cases.
Representatives from Valencia
county firms protested over the
hay rates and this matter is to be
adjusted by allowing the same con-
cessions that apply to Texas and
Arizona shipments. The rate on
canned goods from the coast to
Deming Is to be applied to towns
off the main line.
Mr. Houghton stated that the
Santa Fe railroad did not intend to
raise freight rates again II possible
to avoid doing so. He declared that
the company intended to make
thorough test of the present rates
to see if they would not permit
proper earnings and allow for inn
provement. He said that the COM
pany was now chiefly concerned
with adjusting rates which have
become discriminatory.
A number of interested parties
representing various state indus
tries were present at the hearing
and all expressed satisfaction over
the results attained. Chairman
Williams had spent considerable
time In the preparation of the COM
plaints and when the hearing end
ed. he voiced his appreciation for
the manner in which they were re-
ceived and adjusted by Mr.. Hough-
ton.
