CONSTITUTION FOR
EGYPT BIG ISSUE

Cairo.-The framing of a Dustour
(constitution) for Egypt made neces-
sary by the lifting of the British pro-
tectorate has become the paramount
feature of Egyptian politics.
The question as to who shall frame
the Dustour. which has been under
discussion in the native press ever
since the first royal levee was held by
King Fuad at Abdin palace. has di-
vided the country politically into two
Numerically opposed camps.
The nationalists who are mostly.
adherents Of Zaghloul Pasha, have
been demanding that the constitution
be drawn up by a national assembly
elected by h people. The minis
terialists who are supporting the
government of Premier Sarwat Pasha
and who have just won the day. have
been in favor of appointing a special
commission for the task.
The commission already appointed
is composed Of 31imembers under the
presidency of Rushdy Pashaan.
! former prime minister. It Is to draw
F., up within -four months project for
a constitution, which will be thrashed
out by the Egyptian parliament
which will have the right to amend
it except in that which concerns the
prerogatives of the throne.
The governments project calls for
a parliament to consist of two chamb-
ers. All the members of the lower
house and half the members of the
senate are to be elected by popular
vote: the other half of'the senate to
be appointed by the executive.
: The newspaper Liberty points out
that the senate, being partly appoint
i've. will be able to check all the
whims OF the majority of the nation

Samara, Russia-(The Associated
Press. )-The state political police,
successor to the "Cheka" is extreme
~ active in Samara province in ar
resting. supposed political plotters
against the Soviet regime but it is
evident here that the old system of
secret trials and condemnations has
passed.
The turn to open trials for all Of
j. tenders showed itself here in a re-
cent court scene when 40 persons,
men. women and boys. were tried to-
gether as bandits. Accused OF muir
uers, highway robberies and burg
laries, many having been caught in
the act, these criminals a few months
ago doubtless would have been exc
cuted without further hearing by the
Cheka.
Interest in their trial was so great
that the biggest theater in Sahara
was used as a court room. The pris-
oners, guarded by Red army soldiers,
were penned in the orchestra pit.
Each as his case was called. stood up
on what had been the raised place
for the orchestra leader and was
questioned by the judges. :
! The three judges, counsel for the
defense and prosecution and the
court clerks sat on the stage behind
long tables covered with red cloth

court system wAs observed. The spec.

in vogue duringNthe old regime.

Decision Against
 Southern Pucific

WASHINGTON, June 1-The Su- preme Court today handed down a de- cision sustaining the governments contention in the suit to have the Southern Pacific's ownership of the Central Pacific declared unlawful under the Sherman Antitrust Act. This was the last of the great trust dissolution cases brought before the court, and the decision means that the Southern Pacific must divest itself of all stock ownership in the Central Pa cific. The merger now dissolved has been in effect since 1885.
 The Southern Pacific case brought to the attention of the Supreme Court the control by a Kentucky corporation of the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad companies in alleged violation of the Pacific Railroads and Serman antitrust laws.
 The government declared in argu- ment it presented lone of the dark est pages in American railroad his tory" Although the oldest conso1fda- ton it was the last of the railroad merger cases to be decided by the Supreme Court.
 The case presented many unique and interesting features, and during oral argument counsel refreshed the memory of the court of the heyday of American railroad organization and fi- nancing, when in the late sos and early 90's the "big four" consisting of Leland Stanford, Collis P. Huntington, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker and other railroad builders who had girded the middle and Pacific west with iron bands, contested with Ed ward H. Hartman and other railroad "Napoleons" in rearranging the rail road maps.
 The Southern Pacific merger was first attacked by the government in 1894 in a bill filed in California to dissolve the combination, but which was dismissed without prejudice" The next proceeding was the present suit brought in the United States Dis trict Court for Utah on February Il. 1914, and dismissed on March g, 1917. An appeal was promptly taken by the

TROOPS HELD ATDUBLINF FOR
 EMERGENCY

LONDON, June Winston Church ill, Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the Coalition Cabinet, addressing the House of Commons yesterday in reply to an interrogation propounded to the government, declared that British troops would be used to prevent the establishment of republic in Ireland if such action became necessary. Referring to the reported truce be- tween the contending factions in Southern Ireland, Churchill asserted that the ageement between the De Valera and Griffith parties was vio- lation of the Free State treaty. He frankly admitted that British sol diers were being retained in Dublin as preliminary step to military op- erations in Ireland, should the prog ress of events render such drastic action imperative.

GERMAN REPLY
 TO DEMANDS OF THE ALLIES

PARIS, June 1.-The German reply to the demands of the Allied Repar- ations Commission was received here today. The latest suggestion of the commission was to postpone payment of the separations due yesterday pro- vided the Germans would accept the program of the commission fn prin- :cipIe. The reply stated that tffe Ger man government would undertake to comply with the commissions pro gram on reparations on the hypothesis that it be given aid by means of for eign loans; such loans to be furnished within suitable time in order to main tain the present paper circulation of the country within it's limits and pre- vent further expansion. If this is done Germany will accept Ele repara- tion demands in principle provided also a partial moratorium is. arranged.
