WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The strup-
gle for modification of the rate-makinp
provisions of the Esch- Cummins trans
portation act, or the repeal of that
measure was begun in the Senate to-
day by Senator Capper, of Kansas,
head of the Senate farm bloc.
Senator Capper assailed those pro-
visions of the act which require rates
to be fixed which will yield the roads
by groups reasonable net return,
which formerly was 6 per cent. The 6
per cent requirement expired some
months ago.
The Kansas Senator said the rail
roads are to-day doing the greatest
business they have ever done. He said
this was "at an increase of 1914 per
cent ton mile for freight and of near
ly 66 per cent mile for passengers. -
He asserted further that, although
handicapped by two great strikes, the
roads had made a better financial show
ing for the first eight months of 1922
than for the corresponding months of
1921
"The higher-than-war rail rates are

ator He drew contrast between the
prosperity OF the roads and the low
prices which the farmers got for their
products. He charges that more than
nalf the fruit crop this year was lost
because growers could not afford to
pay freight rates and let the fruit rot.
1T is strictly true to say that for
the Inst two years and four months"
went on Senator Capper, "rail
rates on farm stuffs have been more
than the traffic could bear or should
have borne, and this was never more
true than at this moment. Our farm
ers are actually paying out money for
the privilege OF growing wheat, and
mat IN a time of world need of wheat.
Farmers cannot market wheat on the
margin existing freight rates require
1t is most ruinous and short
sighted policy, for in the end the rail-
roads and the Eastern manufacturers
ana the public are all going to suffer
Tor every dollar of loss inrfieted on the
farmer. That is the inescapable eco
nomic result. | argue not that the
railroads cannot afford to make sub
stantlal reductions in rates, but that
they cannot afford not to make such
reductions and speedily"
Farms Sold for Taxes
he depicted the conditions among
the farmers with unpaid taxes and
farms being sold for taxes. He said
the American farmer "has almost

tne farmer would urge passage Of THIS
bill at this session, to repeal the OBJ
jectionable feature of the Esch- Cum
Minis law.
Sooner or later this must be done

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Georges Leygues,
chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com
mission of the French Chamber of
Deputies. is reported here as saying
that the commission rejects the rati-
fication of the Washington naval agree
ments.
British officials, commenting on the
report, point out that while Leygues' s
declaration is not necessarily the view
OF the French government France s
failure to ratify the treaty has caused
them to discount favorable action on
the part of that signatory.
The opinion obtains here that if
France should definitely withdraw iron,
the naval treaties q situation would
arise wherein Great Britain, the United
States and Japan might find it neces-
sary to meet again to confirm the five
ive-three basis for their naves as ap-
plicable to themselves alone. In any
event French abstention from the
agreement, If unaccompanied by a
building program, would not cause i'm
mediate reconsideration of British
naval plans.
The British press has made no COM
mient on the reported Leygues dec
laratlon, and in unofficial quarters
there is disposition to regard it as a
trial balloon rather than a measured
statement of policy
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Ratifca-
ton by the French government of the
arms conference treaties is expected
by. this government without further
delay, it was indicated to-day in a
high official quarter. All information
that comes to this government through
official channels points to early rati-
fcation of the naval treaty and the
four-power Pacific treaty, it was said
and press dispatches to the contrary
lacked confirmation here.
Surprise was expressed at the State
Department to-day to The statemen
made on the floor of the Senate by Sen
ator Glass to the effect that the Anglo
Japanese Treaty is automatically re-
newed to-day because of the failure
Of the French government to make the
four-power pact operative through de-
lay in ratification. 1t was said that
the Anglo-Japanese Treaty was signed
July 16, 1911 for period of ten years,
to be renewed automatically for SIM
liar period on July 16, 1921, if either
government failed to give notice of
renouncing it. Officials added that the
pact remains in operation until the
Washington conference treaty becomes 5
effective.

In the heading of an article in The
