VIENNA. May 2S.-Despite renewed
protests by the allies. voiced in formal
representations by the Italian charge
this week the people of Salzburg are
preparing to go ahead with their un-
official referendum on the question of
fusion with Germany. which has been
set for Sunday. In order to relieve the
government OF the onus the explana-
iton ia made that the vote is being
held under the private auspices of
the three dominant parties in the
province.
Like the recent referendum in Tyrol,
the vote Is to be taken for the avowed
purpose of ascertaining the sentiment
of the population ON the question of
the federal government approaching
the league Of nations for the privilege
of self
On Monday the Syrian diet will
meet to decide its attitude on the
threat of DR.. Michael Mayr to resign
the chancellorship if the province per-
sisted in carrying out the plebiscite.
The governments attitude in it's op-
position to the fusion agitation is
meeting with considerable scepticism
in allied quarters, particularly in view
of Chancellor Mayr's statement that
if foreign credits were not forthcom-
ing by the end Of October the govern
msnt would withdraw its objections.

The proposal of Representative

mated from the naval bill. with the
understanding that later disarmament
would be handled in a separate meas
ure. was regarded in some quarters
as distinct effort to kill the disarm-
ament plan. The contention of the
supporters of the Borah plan has long
been that it would be futile at this
time TO seek to bring about an inter-
national agreement for disarmament
on land. in view OF the disturbed
conditions in Europe. France and
other nations would fatty refuse to
Rave anything to do with it. they say.
Chance for Navy Curtailment.
On the other hand, there are only
three great naval powers in the world
today. the United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan. If they can arrive at
an agreement to curtail their naval
progrm and halt the race now on for
naval supremacy, distinct step will
nave been taken looking to future dis
armament. it is said.
So the Mondell proposal is looked
upon as an attempt to stab the dis
armament plan, while at the same time
appearing to favor disarmament. If
the effort to kill off the Borah amend
ment is to be made, senators said to-
day II must be made in the open. They
DO not believe that the House MEM

be the effect of amending the Borah

Economic Benefits Pointed Out.

The District Commissioners went
on record yesterday in favor of NOV
ing the clocks in all government de-
partments forward one hour during
the summer months as a means of
bringing about daylight saving for
the city.
They sent word to Senator Ball.
chairman of the District committee.
that they are in favor of the Jones
bill under which all the -timepieces
in Uncle Sans offices would be moved
ahead one hour until the last Sunday
in October
The commissioners told Senator
Ball that. while the bill would apply
only to government establishments.
there IS no doubt that private estab-
lishmentS would of necessity have to
follow the daylight schedule if il
were adopted for governmental estab-
iishments."
Letter Of COmuisxioners.
The Commissioners believe the OBJ
ject of the bill is meritorious," the
letter continues. The additional
hour of daylight which would be
gained will afford more time for
recreation and pleasure. thus tenLing

dttion of the people. 1t will also
prove of economic benefit in the saw
ing of gas and electricity for i'll
Illuminating purposes.
While sentiment as to daylight
saving is not unanimous. the Com
tages outweigh its disadvantages. and
they recommend favorable action on
the bill"
The bill specifically directs the
street railway companies to regulate
their schedules to comply with the
daylight saving hours in the govern
ment establishments. The Commits
sioners suggested a change in the
phraseclogy of the bill to make it
include the District building.
