VALLEY WINS
|. A. COTTON
RATE CASE,
NO DROP
Washington Decides Agoinst
Los Angeles and in Favor
of Valley; No Lower rates
to Take Away Business
from Imperial Valley.

Imperial Valley has won it's fight
against the attemtp of Los Angeles to
secure lower cotton rates which would
have taken millions of dollars worth of
business away from the Imperial
Valley.
Director Thelen of the division of
public service and Director Chambers
of the division of traffic yesterday sign
ed letter to Traffic Manager Watson
of the Los Angeles Board of Harbor
Commissioners refusing the request
Both directors are in Washington and
the letter will reach the coast in a few
days.
The letter is lengthy and goes into
detail on questions more than purely
local.
All chambers of commerce in the
Valley went on record against the plan
of the Los Angeles interests and it will
be good news to know that the plan has
been defeated.
Referring to the attempt of the Los
Angeles men to gain a lower rate than
other ports, the letter says;
1T would, we think. be dangerous to
disturb this established practice of port
equaliza ton because if lower rates on
one commodity We're made to Los Ange-
les than to other ports, on account OF
shorter mileage, there would be other
traffic on which the rates at other
ports should be made very much lower
than the mileage would warrant com
pared with the rates to the Atlantic and
Gulf ports-this to maintain the equal
ity of total charges via the different
trade routes and enable the substantial
proportion of the business to be handled
via the Pacific coast ports.
You can readily. understand from
the situation outlined above that dis
tance is not altogether controlling in
the asking of export rates. In view OF
your application for reduction in these
rates to Los Angeles, the Texas people
are already before us with request for
a reduction in rates from interior Texas
and Oklahoma points to the gulf ports
based upon the proposed reduction to
Los Angeles, and it may be well that
| il we should reduce the rate to Los
| Angeles some of the Texas lines would
after March l. feel it necessary to re
| duce the rates to the gulf, thus further
disturbing the present relationship of
rates. and to the disadvantage of the
| Pacific coast,
' "While the railroad administration
might enforce differential because OF
it's controlling all the railroads, under
private operation this would be impos
sible because of the competition be
tween the ports and the railroads serv
ing them

SURPRISE ALLIES

PARIS, Feb. 4-The allied cuncil of
ambassadors was called into eXtraordi-

Won Lersner, head of the German mis-
sion here.
In French official circles it was ex-
planned the feeling was that despite the
general indifference on the eXtraditiOn
manifested by the public there was an
important reason why the allies should
insist on the execution of the clause re-
lating to accused Germans.
If the Germans succeed in avoiding
the execution, of this clause an attempt
will be made to avoid other clauses,
French officials believe.
