ATTEMPTS TO END
DC. milk HEARINGS

Business, But Committee
Refuses to Quit.

Pleading tilat when the milk hearings
were started feeling was at fever height
between the distributors and producers
whereas now his clients are doing busi-
ness amicably with, individual producers
Charles W. Darr asked the subcommit-
tee Of the House District COMMITTEES to-
day not to do anything that again would
and distributors. Mr.. Darr said he rep
resented the Gregg. Black and Storm &
Sherwood dairies
You were perfectly willing three
weeks ago to go the limit on these hear
ings and suddenly you want. to stop,
exclaimed Representative Elliot w.
Sproul of Illinois. when your dis
tributors and producers are getting to-
gether why don't you take care of the
consumers? When you patch up your
differences you waht the investigation
to STOP"
Asks That Hearings Continue.
John s. Barbour. milk producer and
attorney for the Maryland Virginia
Milk Producers Association, told the
subcommittee, of which Representa-
tiye Laupert of Wisconsin is chair
man. that the milk producers have
nothing to conceal and do. not want
these hearings stopped. We do not
want an immunity bath. We have not
come to any terms with the distrib-
utors and do not want to be put in
the light of having done SO. We
spurn the offer that the investigation
be shut up at this time"
When Attorney Darr explained that
he wished to have 1t clear in the
minds of the committee that no COM
pact had been reached with the pro-
duceis' organization. but that the dis
tributers. he represents have made
their own terms with individual pro-
ducers. Representative Millspaugh OF
Missouri said: .,t.. 49,. .,, ...
What I believe Representative
Sproul meant to say, and in which
concur. is that. while distributors and
producers may have reconciled their
differences between themselves. they
have not reconciled. their differences
with the consumers, and they are the
ones that we are here to protect"
Committee Room Crowded.
Many producers from Maryland and
Virginia crowded the committee room
today. Attorneys representing the
distributors sought to examine the
producers Representative Sproul
argued that the producers should not
be examined until after other distri-
butors, who have been called before
the subcommittee, and who have not
appeared, present themselves.
On motion of Representative Sproul

Federal Judge Charles F. Lynch has

phasized that in the British view the
resolution in no way affected the
Chinese consortium. and put into rec
ord this formal statement OF the at
titude of the British delegations:
'"Of course it is clearly understood
that there is nothing in this resolu-
tion which affects, one way or the
other. the existing international con-
sortium or any other form OF Volun-
tary cooperation among private imam :
cial or industrial groups in different
countries. which may join together IN
a manner not involving monopoly or
infringement of the principles recog-
lied BY the conference in order to
furnish China with such essential
service most efficiently and economi:..
cally to be provided by united enort.
MIR. Hughes Accepts Position.
This position. Secretary Hughes said.
was in entire accord with that of the
American delegation, nut there was
no further discussion of the subject.
Sir Robert Rorden's suggestion that
the fourth article of the American
resolution. dealing with existing con-
cessions, be stricken out came at the
end of more than an hour or DEBATE,
during which Baron Shidehara took
the lead in opposing the proposal ana
Mr.. Hughes defended it as a natural
outgrowth of the open door policy.
In his opinion. Sir Robert said. the
powers concerned could act with
equal effect if the article were omit
ted altogether. Under the article
there could be no effective action. he
declared, except with the consent of
the parties concerned. while If it
were omitted there still would be
opportunity for the powers. IL they
chose, to give such consent and to
utilize the board for the determine
ton of any relevant question.
NJ. Sarraut called for a vote on Sir
Roberts proposals. and Secretary
Hughes said that inasmuch as the
other governments seemed agreeable.
and since, in his opinion. article III
gave a full opportunity for dealing
with all matters which might apprO-
pr:ately be the concern of the re-
spective governments. the American
delegation would join in the same
sentiment if it would induce to an
agreement on the first, second land
third articles.
Reviews Development Of Policy.
In their exchange over the general
meaning Of the open door policy,
Baron Shidehara >and Secretary
Hughes reviewed the diplomatic steps
by which the policy has developed
since it first was enunciated by Sec
retary Hay in 1899.
In it's inception. Baron Shidehara
said. the doctrine had been limited in
it's scope. both as concerned it's sub
ject and the area of Chinese
territory it affected. At first, he con-
tinued. it simply provided. in sub
stance, that none Of the powers hav-
ing spheres of influence or leased terrific
ries in China should interfere with
treaty ports or with vested rights or ex-
ercise any discrimination in the col
lection of customs duties or railroad
or harbor charges. He declared the
Hughes resolution gave a new defini-
tion to, the policy. and therefore it
seemed unjust to make it retroactive.

furs are established articles of trade
and commerce. Among the peoples
of the northern lands, the skin of ami
mails is still the medium of exchange,
the same as money is today. Furs
are essential to civilized humanity,
not only because of their utility in
protecting the body from the elements,
but in a greater degree, for their dec
orative purposes. Nothing is compar-
able to the distinction possessed by
the wearer of beautiful furs. There
is a quality of sumptuousness, of rich
ness, and elegance about beautiful
fur garment that can be achieved no
other way.
AS a heritage from the days of
Esau and Jacob, Jews are still taking
a leading part in the fur drama. The

Mr.. Hilles, in his letter to Mr..
Mendinhall. has correctly outlined
some OF the objections OF myself and
my assistants at this time 10 taking
action. More fully stated, however.
the reasons are substantially as fol-
lows:
1. There is now pending in the
Court Of Chancery. an action insti-
tuted by one Of the aggrieved per-
sons asking for an injunction TO re-
strain the commission Of the alleged
nuisance. It has been our practice in
situations Of this kind TO withhold
prosecution until the determination
OF the equity cause. Possibly you
may conclude that such practice
should not be followed with RESPECT
10 the case in question. We shall be
pleased TO abide with your conclu-
sions in the matter.
2. To get the evidence necessary
to prepare for trial and also to go

doubtedly be offered. because from
