RUBBER MEN TO

 LEGISLhT

NEW YORK, Oct. (Speciap-
 In bulletin to tire manufacturers the Rubber Association of America points out that the frequency wwith which new Legislation, adversely af- fecting the autamotiye industry, or the tire industry directly. is proposed by state legislatures. and the in creasing tendency of state depart ments to unfavora bly interpret ex- isting laws makes it highly desirable that the local representatives of our manufacturers be impressed wwith the importance of immediately advis- ing their home offices of the local development Of any legislative sit nation of interest to the tire indus try. The rubber association. in CO., operation with five other automo- tive trade associations, has been en- deavoring to establish machinery for dealing with state legislation through what is known as the Motor Vehicle Conference committee. but that or ganization is not yet complete to handle all problems as effectively as should be the case"
 A striking example of the fool legis- lation attempted is the Bowden bill recently introduced into the Georgia state legislature This bill would re- quire that all tires sold within the state be marked with the date of manufacture. The endless amount of work this places upon the tire fac tories mas made plain by the va rious tire men of Georgia with the result that the bill did not pass. This in particular is the sort of trick legislation that will come up for att tention from the rubber men of the country

In her spotless little room

YAKUTAT. Alaska, Dec. 26.-The
sea otter. once almost extinct and
now protected. is again inhabiting
the sea kelp beds on the Aleutian
Islands in large numbers. In fact,
so many are seen in various sec

partment of Fisheries may be pre-
vailed upon for a brief open season
for the benefit of natives. who have
Jared badly the past two or three
years.
1t is believed these. aquatic ami

by the hunters a generation ago, took
refuge on uncharted reefs south of
the Commander group and increased
until they are again migrating back
to the former home on the West
Alaskan Coast. where the extensive
forests and gigantic kelp provides
abundant food and shelter.
The sea otter is one of the most
cunning and most easily frightened

IN NEW FARLEY
Col. Harvey Will Attend
Council Meeting at
Cannes.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-A new poIit-
ical year. ushcred in by the most
momentous conference yet held by
the allied supreme council. finds
Europe's eyes more intensely di-
rected toward America and her rep
resentative, Ambassador Harvey.
than at any time since the making
Of the Versailles treaty.
European leaders find themselves
struggling in the midst OF an eco
nomic morass. They are beckon-
ing TO America with more anxiety
than they have displayed in the
past three years, and because of
the Washington arms conference
they believe there are greater
chances for American participat tion
In European affairs than at any
time since the armistice.
Anticipate Americas Aid.
Most European diplomats are con-
WINGED that Americas advent into
the field of international politics
with the conclusion OF the quad =
ruple agreement not only advanced
the interest Of the United States
abroad, but has made Aperica's s
participation in a solution of the
European economic tangle inevlta- =
tle. They are especially convinced
that If the arms conference ends in
complete success the future will
witness a steadily increasing ex-
preston of Americas role in the
international events.
They are backing this conviction
with the belief that. whether Amer
lea likes IL or not. the business and
economic situation in the United
States will force the Washington
government to take hand in re-
lieving Europe's financial stagna-
tion.
All Debtors to United states.
They are hoping that the FIRST
evidence of the new American feel
ing will express itself IN the little
Riviera town Of Cannes. As a con-
sequence. London expects the most
active participation in the delibera-
tions OF the council meeting by Am
bassador Harvey.
This meeting OF the supreme
council, while embracing the usuai
diplomatic pickering, will he less
political than economic in nature,
and in ii the all-important fact
stands out that all the participants
owe the United States money. 1t
is, therefore, argued that as the
great creditor nation. America can
AFFORD to remain aloof, since this
gathering is called for the basic
purpose Of restoring European
finances.
One Of the most important meas
ures to be discussed materially sf-
fects Europe's ability to pay the
United States. and the supreme
councils meeting may even see the
beginning of a movement in which
the allies will draw up a PROPOSE
ton 10 America regarding their in
debtedness to her.
Await Americas Attitude.
The chief hope of Europe dfplo-
mats is that the supreme council
first will disclose whether America
is ready to participate in a world
economic conference and, second,
what is her attitude regarding the
reparations situations. America $
policy toward Russia, proceeding
on the premise the proposed con-
ference will include Russia, also at
tracts considerable speculation in
Europe's various chanceliories.
