Indian Poet Scores
Four-Power Treaty

Washington, Jan. 20.-Warning
against the four-power Pacific treaty
drafted by the armament conference
and similar pacts is being sounded
in India by Sir Rabindranath Tagore,
poet and dramatist and Nobel prize
winner, according to the American
commission to promote self govern
ment in India. In comnlunica-
ton received today by the commits
sion, the celebrated writer said:
Power has to be made secure MOI
only against power, but also against
weakness; for there lies the peril or
its losing balance. The weak are
as great a danger for the strong as
ouicksands for an elephant. The
people who grow accustomed to
WELD absolute power over others
are not to forget that by doing so
they generate an unseen force which
some day rcnds that power into
pieces.
politicians calculate upon the
number of mailed hands that are
kept on the sword hits: they do not
possess that bird-eye to see The great
invisible hand that clasps i'll silence
the hand Of the helpless ano waits
for its time. The stroug Nform their
league by combination OF powers,
driving the weak to form their own
league alone with their God The
west seems unconscious that science,
by providing it with more and more
power, is tempting it to suicide, en-
couraging it to accept the chal-
ienge OF the disarmed. not knowing
that the challenge comes from a
higher source"

Ask Cut in Rates
Representative of Manufac.
turers Declares Present
Freight Charges Burden.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Coal produ.-
crs completed their arguments in
favor Of lower freight rates before
The Interstate Commerce commission
today and gave way to representa-
tives Of the steel industry.
Robert Hula, for iron and steel
manufacturers in the Chicago dis
trict, presented the general conclusion
that present freight rates are bur-
den which has undoubtedly cor-
lributed to the existing depression
in industry"
Throughout the discussion of coal
l;tes, the commission and experts
sought facts as to impending wage
reductions and possibilities of strike
about April /. Fl. w. Prickett. testi-
tying for Wyoming and Utah mine
operators, urged rate reduction o.
~ per cent in the territory and said
that the producers had already cut
costs and intended to make lower
wage scales April /. J. d. A. Mo-
row. vice president of the National
Coal association, was recalled fot
cross-examination and questioned as
10 the possibility of national coal
strike. He replied that "he made il
his business to know nothing about
the labor side OF the industry" but
added that the operators expected
wages to be cut then.
