This is the charge made by the

The irate consumers declare that
in spite Of the fact that gas is manu-
featured on a larger scale. materials
are purchased IN large quantities
and az other conditions are at least
equal TO those of other cities. the
price OF gas in New York is far in
excess OF that charged in most other
municipalities in the United States
in some cases being almost twice
as much.
The Community Council members
allege that the basic discrepancy in
the New York process is the employ
ment Of the twenty-two-candI epowcl
unit. which, they aver. was adopted
primarily for the purpose Of furnish
ing gas for lighting purposes. With
the advent OF electricity they
argue. and the development OF the
gas mantle in such places where gas
is still used for lighting the use OF
gas for heating and cooking pur-
poses has become paramount. Be
cause of this they urge the adoption
Of the British thermal unit-the
basis employed in thirty-hve States
OF the Union.
Statisticians have figured out that
not more than 10 per cent Of the gas
consumed in this city is for illu-
minating purposes.

WASHINGTON, Feb rs Copyright,
1922).--America's programme for
world reconstruction has been out
lined to the Governments of Europe.
There are signs hat Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George, at least, Is trying
.te persuade PremiGs Poincare to fol-
low 1t. Instead of a world confer
ence on economic affairs at Genoa,
including variety of subjects, the
United States believes Europe should
first solve its political problems and
reduce its armies.
Here is the programme, which
throws new light on the reasons
why the Genoa Conference was post
poned, and explains the latest de-
velopment in Europe, where Prime
Minister Lloyd George is reported
as proposing a ten years truce
whereby land armies shall be re-
duced and a guarantee given of the
political stability of Europe.
First, the United States Govern.
ment wishes to hep Europe but
cannot entangle herself in Eu-
ropes political affairs. Upon pol
itical stability depends economic
aid from America.
Second, the United States Gov
ernment believes the programme
of the Genoa Conference was too
wide-sweeping and attempted too
much. 1t believes a limited pro-
gramme having for it's object the
political stability Of Europe would
have more chance OF success.
The Washington conference IS
pointed to as an example of what
can be done when the field of dis
cussion is narrowed and the prob
lens are confined 10 u small group
Of powers directly interested in
stead of to the wide powers.
Third. the United States Govern
ment feels it has dCne IT'S share
in the limitation oF naval arlna-
ments and guaranteeing the pcaon

political apprehensions that exist
between France and Germany or
England and France or Italy and
France as the case may be.
The words of Herbert Hoover, Sec
retary of Commerce, and the man
whose vision and knowledge President
Harding strongly relies on in economic
matters, are the best explanation OF
what is going on inside the Adminis-
tration here. His views have been

Although the plans for the execu-
