lem now is in the hands of the allied
premiers and it is considered quite I'M
likely that the reparations commission
will render any decision on Germany s
request for a moratorium until after
the opening session of the allied council
in London early next month.
The report of the committee on
guarantees regarding the control meas
ures acted upon as a result of it's in
v~estigation into Germany's finances
and economic affairs is expected to be
ready this week.
Premier Poincare's plan to confer
with Lloyd George before the repara-
tons commission makes its decision is
regarded in reparation circles as a def
mite indication that the French pre-
mier believes the consideration of a
comprehensive settlemen essential at
this time. The French will take with
them q carefully prepared plan, it is
understood, and this plan. together with
the British scheme will form the basis
Of a general reconsideration of the
separations question.
There is considerable sentiment in
the reparation commission in favor OF
reconvening the international commit
tee Of bankers in view of the latters
decision that it would hold itself in
readiness again to advise the commits
sion on the German loan question il
the commission so desired. Up to the
present, there, has been no effort to
communicate with the bankers. but il
is believed they will be kept informed
constantly of the developments of the
situation and be called together imme-
diately after the London meeting il
the r%eparations commission thinks the
decision warrants further consideration
of the loan.

IN COUNT AGAINST
D. c. CONTRACTORS
Knickerb0cker Builders Dis
charged From Liability
. in Theater Crash.

Washington. July 24.-Indictments
against five persons in connection with
the Knickerbocker theater disaster OF
last January. in which 81 lives were
lost. were dismissed Monday by Justice
Siddons of the District Of Columbia
supreme court, who sustained demur-
rers.
The indictments charged manslaugh-
ter against Reginald d. Geare. the
architect of the theater: John II: Ford
the iron work contractor; Julian II.
bowman. building inspector: Richard
G. Fletcher. cement contractor. and
Donald M. Wallace, foreman for the
building contract.
The court held the indictment defec-
tive and insufficient in that the mate
rial and essential facts forming the
basis of the alleged offense were not
set out with reasonable certainty and
the indictment therefore was too vague
indefinite and uncertain.

Efforts of the drafting committee. 1t
was learned. were to be aimed at franz
ing a scheme for emergency coal con-
troll which would not run counter to the
law relating to m%onopolies and conspir-
acies in restraint Of trade
Non-union operators attending the
conference were inclined to attach only
one condition to their agreement to
maintain the fair prices previously
fixed. and that was a requirement that
the governor use every effort to get
them railroad service. 1t is conceded
that the price scales set offer reason
able profits to all the producers in the
pon-union districts. eve though some
buyers under the pressure of imminent
shortage have been bidding up the
market levels and urging upon the pro-
ducers cash offers far above the Hoov-
er scales.
Pool Non.Union Output
Effective distribution, it is explained.
will be controlled through pooling the
entire union production and the
assignment of ears under a preferential
system to be instituted under author
ity of the interstate commerce com
mission.
While the plan is designed to operate
through cooperation Of the operators
and the railways, it is founded on the
authority Of the interstate commerce
commission to act in emergency or be
half of interstate commerce. 1t is by
this authority, it was explained. that
the commission would be able to m
troll conditions should the cooperative
effort fail in any district.
The operators asserted that if the
mines could not be kept in operation,
however, shut downs will increase the
cost of their operation, destroy the
morale of their mining forces and make
it necessary for them to sell their
coal at a higher figure than the levels
now voluntarily fixed. Much of the
West Virginia production has been held
strictly within the fair price limits.
but a general breaking away from these
levels has been reported to officials
in the western Kentucky areas sup
plying the mid-western areas.

NATION WANTS. no SUBSIDY

1t is reported that President
Harding is putting behind his pet
ship subsidy measure every item
OF personal and official prestige
he possesses. lis asks Congress
to give him this law and, mas
much as he has not oyerborne
Congress hitherto to any notice
able extent. he may secure his
wish in this instance.
One reason President Harding
desires the measure is to lift the
burden of expense from tho subsi-
died shipping board; he would
replace large. expense with a
less large one. But where he is
arguing from the -peint<of imme-
date; outgo and the, nominal re-
ducton of budget, the public is
bound to look beyond to the re-
suits OF this measure, and those
WHO try to be foresighted in such
an important matter certainly
shovld not be deemed prcjudiced.
I'll is ~aery,spo aeSiSnomy,

the slshippiAg Combines arc per

both casqs the money cuufts

lie. Why Should. the public res
gard with approvala suggestion
that they put up the capital for
a business designed TO exploit
them, and from which they re-
ccive neither interest nor even the
return OF their original invest
rnent?
This country needs a merchant
marine, and it is even true, as
President Harding says, that it is
Invaluable in case of war. But
if we are going to talk of war
preparations, there are many
matters deserving encourage
ment. But granting all the argu-
inents of the President in favor
of subsidized merchant marine
to be sound, they are modified
automatically BY the absence OF
laws protecting the public inter
est.F Because de- Neglected that
phase OF the matter the public
