Of the two chambers is represented
Just now by some S0S,0OO0OO, and it
may be a long time before an agree

II the senate passed the naval appro-
prlation bill carrying a total Of S494,-

navy men had fought hard, but they
secured q reduction Of only S2,0D,-

Senator Burah voted for the bill be-
cause, as De- explained, he had high
hopes of results from his amendment
requesting the President TO invite
Great Britain and Japan to join with
the United States in curtailing naval
construction. That Mr.. Harding takes
the Borah plan seriously is Indicated
by the report that our representatives
In London and Tokyo already are

Chancellor Wirth apparently IS de-
termined to force Germany to fulfill
her obligations to the allies. In a
speech before the reichstag he set
forth the economic rules and policies
through which, he believes, the Ger
man nation can pay its debts and yet
maintain economic stability and in
dependence He intends not only to
keep up with the payments as they
fall due, but to keep ahead of Them
"The sums to be paid in repara-
tons" he declared "can be extract
ed only by creating an economic bal
ance. We must increase our produc-
ton and reduce our expenses to the
utmost in our manufactures. We
must limit all imports, especially luxu-
ries, as far as possible through customs
tax measure. To this end we should
have sovereignty over our customs
borders
agriculture must be brought to It's
highest capacity Systematically. AMI
mails must be replaced by motors, saw
ing fodder. Acreage must be increased,
and the cultivation of swamps and
deserts must be undertaken at the
earliest moment, thus providing work
for those out of employment. The
sword has been broken. We must
work"
The chancellor foreshadowed high
err corporation tax, bourse tax, an
Inheritance tax, landed property tax
and a tax on certain securities, in adj
dtion to an increase in direct taxes
Before the congress of the Com
munist party In Moscow Premier
Lenin laid his economic program,
which was supported by Minister Of
Agriculture Miliutin and approved by
the gathering. The policy as outlined
includes:
1. Collection from the peasants Of a
fixed amount Of grain by a system Of
tax in kind, estimated by Miliutin to
amount to about third of the crop.
The other two-thirds Of the crop is to
remain at the disposal Of the peasant
for grading through the newly restored
co-operatiycs, whose power Is to be ex-
tended.
.. Retention in the hands Of the
state Of the largest industries and
means of transportation, particularly
the leather, salt and textile industries,
These latter are turning out manu-
featured goods now most needed by
the peasants They are to- be speeded
up in order to satisfy the peasants
needs. and the workmen are to be en-
couraged by a bonus system and other
inducements which will increase pro-
ductlon. Supervision is to be under
the trade unions, who will fix the rates
of pay instead of the government as
heretofore.
3. encouragement of small and me-
dunn co-operatlves and private indus
tries. Factories will be leased to these
smaller Industries, and even financial
assistance win be given. The trades
unions will fix wages.

Memorial day not only was cele-
brated fittingly all over the United
States, but in England and France as
WELL where many OF our dead war
riors still lie In this country, of
course the most notable observance
of the day was In the national Gene
terry at Arlington, where the Presi-
dent delivered the address. Mr. Har-
ding took advantage of the occasion
to declare that America must and will
do her full part in helping to stabilize
the world, to restrain ambition for
empire and to prevent the disaster
to civilization that would come from
denial of the equality of sovereign
states or persons. The United States,
he asserted, will neither pursue a pol
icy of isolation nor surrender any Of
its independence of action, but will
stand ready to accept leadership in
the restoration of normally in the
world.
In a Memorial day address in a
Chicago suburb, former Senator
James Hamilton Lewis predicted a
war with Japan in which America will
stand alone Not one country in
Europe is truly the friend of the
United States" he said. THE time
is coming when we shall have to pro-
tect ourselves against an invasion of
the Asatics." England, France, and
Italy, he said, will be appealed to by
Japan to force the United States to
grant the japanese the same privl-
leges as they enjoy In Europe.

The Poles and Germans in Upper
Silesia did not observe their truce for
many hours The Germans renewed
the attacks and the fighting has been
continuous ever since, despite the eff
forts of the allied plebiscite forces,
which have been reinforced by body
of British troops. In general the Poles
seem to be getting the worst Of the
fighting, for the Germans were well
organized secretly and are fully armed.
There was a serious outbreak in Beu-
then, where the German inhabitants
attacked the French garrison. The
latter used tanks with deadly effect
and routed the Germans, killing many.
With the arrival of the British forces
it appeared likely that Korfanty's in
surgent Poles would be driven out Of
much Of the disputed territory which
they had seized.

The federal railway labor board has
announced the. wage reduction that
goes into effect on July l, when the
national agreements are abrogated.
The average wage cut is to be l. per
cent and this eventually will reduce
the pay rolls of the 104 roads affected
by S4O0,OOOOO a year. The board
in its decision sets up new uniform
wage scales for all groups Of employ
ees and these will later apply to every
road in the country. The abrogation
of the national agreements, it is be-
lieyed, may save the roads an addi-
tional $3OO,0OOOO0 yearly. In labor
circles 1t had been feared a greater
wage reduction would be ordered by
the board; hence 1t is predicted the
action may arouse little open oppo-
sition. The chiefs of the railway
unions reserved comment.
The day after the boards ruling
was made public President Harding
surprised the interstate commerce
commission by calling at its Office for
conference on freight rate reduc-
ton, which he deems Of vital impOr-
lance in the restoration Of business.
He made clear his desire in this line,
but it was evident that he would have
to overcome strong opposition. The
cabinet agrees with the President that
prohibitive transportation rates large
ly account for the stagnation Of bust
ness and the continued high price of
the necessities Of life.
Chairman Clark of the interstate
commerce commission and Senator
Cummins chairman of the senate com
mittee on interstate commerce, agree
however, with the railroad executives
who contend that rates cannot be re-
duced generally until 1t has been
proved that railroad expenses can be
cut to point assuring an adequate
return on the investment.

Charles p. Benns Sketches His
tory Of Industry in Ad-
dress at Y. M. C. A.

Fire Insurance" was discussed be-
fore the real estate class @t the
Y. NJ. C. A. last Tuesday night by
Charles p. Benns, manager Of the
Underwriters Association of the Dis
'trict of Columbia. In sketching the
history of insurance, Benns explained
that the present standard form con-
tracts of modern insurance resemble
those used in the early days by Eng
lish marine insurers. The term I'm
derwriters" was derived from the
practice of Individual insurers in sign
ing their names under the writing OF
insurance contracts. AS the business
Of these individuals. grew. the problem
of having ready cash or liquid assets
TO meet the increasing demands coca,
stoned by losses quite naturally led 10
the formation of insurance companies.
Benns analysed the policy contract
in detail, explaining the technical
features and the historical reasons
for many of the quaint phrases incor-
porated in the modern Insurance
policy.
Particular stress was made on the
Importance of the stipulations wi.lch
formed the basis of the contract. This
portion of a policy, which usually W
printed in condemned form and with
small type, contains all the conditions
that must be fulfilled by the insured
as well as by the company. Failure
to comply with the requirements, or
doing something expressly forbidden,
may void the policy and result In
difficulty with possible litigation.
Benns emphasized the fact that,
generally speaking, all insurance coin.
panies were responsible, In that strict
State and Federal laws and supcryi-
sion made them so. However. II was
suggested that II was well to intrust
matters of insurance to reliable agents
only.
The methods used by the Under
writer's Association in fixing rates
was explained These rates are ar.
rived at by adding to the basic or
key rate certain standard charges for
structural conditions, that are known
to increase fire hazard. On the other
hand, credits are allowed for special
equipment to prevent fires as well
as the installments of hose. fire ex-
tinguishers etc. The board arbi-
trarily adds certain charges for what
are commonly known as faults OF
management" charges. For instance.
lack of proper ash cans, untidy con.
ditions, crowded windows and aisle
spaces.
1t was explained. however, that
these faults of management
charges are removed as soon as the

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 10.-Charles
Van Deusen, head of the detective
bureau yesterday indicated that Mike
Slime, a wrestler. arrested Thursday
as a suspect in the Wall street cx-
plosion of September 16. 1920. would
be released. probably today.
Van Deusen said he recognized
Slime as a wrestler who was here
working for carnival company
shortly after the New York explosion
occurred. Slime himself said he was
in New York only once and that was
in 1902, when he arrived from his
native land, Bulgaria.
