Berlin, May 81.
THE cost of living in Berlin
was lower in April, according
to figures now available, than in
any month since March, 1920,
and the minimum for a family of
two adults and two children was
28l marks. This was II marks
less than in the previous month
and "a marks less than April of
last year. In April, 1914, the
minimum was 28 marks and 80
pfennigs, about ten times as lit
tie. The fall of the price of rice,
fats, shoes and clothing more
than outbalanced the increase in
the price of bread, potatoes,

Paris, May 81.
The usually well informed Journal
des Dcbats expresses the opinion to-
night that the visit OF Crown Prince
Hirohito OF Japan, who arrived In Paris
to-day. is much more than an ordinary
sightseeing tour. 1t considers his com.
ing as opening the way for France to
exert conciliatory role in anticipated
delicate relations between Japan and
the United States and England.
The Journey of Prince Hirohito is
sufficient TO show how important
japan considers European relations"
the Debats says. "In fact Japan is
finding herself at a delicate point in
her history. The question of renew
ing her alliance with Great Britain,
which Japan so much desires. is vital
and certainly will be discussed at the
imperial conference which is to meet
In London in June.
I'm China, as well as in the Pacific,
Nippon on many points is in opposi-
ton TO the United States. The con-
troversy over the Island of Zap re-
Gently showed this. The problems in
volved in the adjustment Of Japanese
and American interests may even
dominate diplomatic history during the
coming years.
They may offer occasion for fric-
ton but they also offer possibilities
for accord. and France, having bonds
with the United States and Great Brit
ain and with no difference separat-
ing her from Japan. can only direct
her influence toward policy OF con-
ciliation and accord. In this France
will not be found wanting"
Prince Hirohito spent a rough night
crossing the Channel. He received a
great ovation when he arrived in Paris

The order affects members of thirty

While the decrease is specifically
applied only to the roads whose cases
have been heard by the board, the de-
cision says il may later be applied to
any other road asking a hearing under
the provisions of the Esch -Cummins
transportation act.
