Anglo japanese Treaty

LONDON, July 1.-THE London
Times says report is current that
the lord high chancellor. Lord Birken-
head, has expressed the opinion that.
failing formal denunciation of the
Anslo-Japanese treaty. which would
necessitate giving a years notice. the
treaty automatically continues More
over. from a judicial viewpoint it is
held that the Anglo-Japanese notifi-
cation to the league of nations of the
proposed modification of the treaty
does not constitute formal denuncia-
ton.
The Times expresses the hope that
the opinion attributed to the lord chan
cellor is a true Interpretation, because
it would give ample time to debate
the question and agree upon the large
problems involved. 1t adds:
ITO the lay mind it would appear
that if the treaty is to continue alive
for a year after its denunciaton, still
more should it remain in force for q
year after expiration.

AMERICAN CAPITAL
TO CONTROL SUGAR,
SAYS CUBAN PAPER
fBv Associated Pressl

HAVANA, July 1.-The newspaper
La Discussion has published a charge
that "capitalistic plot" to dominate
the Cuban sugar industry has been
formed and that all the Cuban sugar
centrals will be owned by foreigners.
The newspaper asserts that when the
Cuban sugar business is found in for
eign hands, ii is almost certain that
the price of sugar will rise as IL by
magic and that the business will be
on an even more stupendous scale
than now.
When American capitalists began
an invasion to secure control of Cuban
scentrals," the paper continued, they
.foresaw an era of prosperity and
bought, without sparing their millions
as many sugar properties as were for
sale. The price OF the product rose
TO % cents, then it was seen that a
good part of the crop remained in Gu
ban hands and that the Cubans aspired
TO obtain the highest possible price
Then the price fell like an avalanche
from % cents to three cents.
First a bank crisis, then a currency
crisis. There was no money to pay
for refining, nobody to buy this years
crop from the Cubans.
Many Debts Fall Due
"Our sugar men now find them
selves owing large sums of money tc
the banks. They have not been able
TO sell their crop, With the termina
tion of the moratorium will disappear
the restriction against pending com
mercial obligations. The sugar mer
will have to pay or go bankrupt. The
banks are not interested in holding
sugar centrals.
'On the other hand, there exists
much idle foreign capital which i.
anxious to make a killing. Right nov
a powerful company is being formed
to acquire every central and planta
tion whose owner cannot pay. The
properties secured, the debts will be
paid So what is worth from five II
ten is secured for one. A case of op
portunity."

improvements That Pay

/ A generally depressed feeling
in the agricultural districts and
quletude in other lines taht Go not
operate to halt improvements are
the kind that will pay dividends.
The people of the state are able to
discriminate between the kind of
taxes that are really investments
for the common veal and the kind
that represent a loss or waste of
money.
A Lafayette banker has Just ne
gotiated the sale of 100000 worth
of road bonds for st. Martin par
ish, which will give the parish
enough money to make its road
system fairly complete. The bonds
were voted by the people two
years ago but the road improve
memt has been held up because
the bonds couldn't be marketed.
St. Martin people figure that the
actual saving to the farmers, not
to speak of the added convenience
OF living, will justify the expense.

thousands of acres of land, now
available only as cattle range,

SchWab Sees Bright Future
For u. S. Business

Charles M. Schwab may be no judge,
of course, but after looking things over
in Europe he irclines to the view that
they are gong to pull through over
there and set up shop again, comments
the Kansas City Star, MIR. M. Schwab
has had some business experience in a
small way and has learned how to read
a few of the more obvious signs from
which the industrial and economic ex-
perts make their deductions. Perhaps
we ought to give him hearing.
He says, for instance, that Germany
has gone to work and is producing.
That has hopeful look. If Germany
works and produces she will be able to
pay the allies bill, and that will be a
big step in the direction of stabilizing
the situation. Mr., SchWab even thinks
Germany will recover more rapidly
than some OF the entente countries,
and that sounds reasonable, too. With
Germany on their minds the entente
countries have not been in the best
position to buckle down to steady APP
plication. France, aside from the ire
mendous material injury she suffered
in the war, and from which she has not
recovered, has had to devote great
deal of her thought and energy to get
ting her due from her vanquished but
evas:ve foe. She has had to keep up
a much larger army than would be
necessary in stabilized Europe. and the
taxes necessary to be paid for military
and restoration purposes have not Civ
en- business and industry the greatest
encouragement to get up and walk.
We know how that is even in this
country.
Mr.. Schwabs optimism is quite
counter, of course, to many accounts
we have heard of Europe's state, but
we ought not to reject his view because
of that. No doubt things are bad
enough, but as long as people work
some good is sure to come, and MIR.
Schwab saw work being done. That
being true, it doesn't so much matter
whether he saw any actual money
Work is much more productive than
walling, and if Germany and Austria
have quit declaring that they cant
possibly live they stand that much
better chance of living.

ROADS ANNOUNCE NO
REDUCTION NOW

We are reproducing a letter from
the various western railroads 20 the
Colorado and New Mexico Coal Op-
orators association. in which they
state there will be no serious reduc-
ton in coal rates to any points IN our
territory. A great many people
have hesitated about placing their
order for summer storage coal from
the fact that from different sources
information has been given out that
the freight rate would De reduced
and that there would be . slbBtan-
tLal reduction in the mine price. This
letter from the railroads will do
away with that impression as far as
they are concerned. The mine prices
as given out on the first % April
only show so cents per ton cut in
the mine price for May cool under
the existing price. May Will be the
cheapest month in which 10 Buy your

the mines increases each month dur

No doubt you have noticed 10 the
news dispatchns in ne past few weeks
where coal has declined in some in
stances at the mine as NJ ucb as 81. 90
per ton. but IL you noticed particu-
larly this reduction was from north

makes the freight rate prohibitive
