DEFENDS
HIGH PRICE Of
ICE CREAM
Costs of ingredients Have In
creased SIS Per Cent, Says
Head of Company.

A. A. Chaplin, president Of the
Chapin-Saks ice cream corporation.
in a letter to Harry Standiford, ex.
ecutive secretary of the citizens
committee of the Shrine convention,
has asked for the prompt appoint
ment of a committee from the
Shrine organization to examine the
ice cream company's records to de-
termine whether the announced
price increase was justified.
''Forty-fiVe days ago this COM
pany voluntarily reduced the price
of ice cream 10 cents per gallon in
the confident expectation that the
usual May reduction would occur in
the price of cream and milk, which
did not occur, and that sugar,
fruits, and flavoring extract would
remain at approximately the same
prices prevailing at this season of
the year." said the letter.
Every citizen of Washington is
well aware of the fact that in the
past year, and particularly in the
last few months, tremendous ad-
vances have occurred in the price
of sugar, cream, and milk, the
principal ingredients of ice cream.
over the corresponding prices pre-.
vailing last year. The present in.
crease in price was, therefore, due
to these causes and not the repre-
hensible one of attempting to take
advantage Of our prospective guests
on this occasion"
In a statement issued to the
press, Chaplin points out that the
average percentage of advance of
the cost of the main ingredients for
ice cream is approximately So per
cent, while the advance in the sale
of ice cream was only 1923 per
cent. He declares the advance in
price was more than justified. He
said early in April manufacturers of
ice cream throughout the country al
most uniformly advance prices be.

the cost of ingredients.

NOMINATION
BY KING
Senator Expressed Own View,
Former Secretary
TeIegraphs.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

Unless some highly efficient
peace-making is accomplished in the
quiet months Of this drowsy political
summer, it seems fairly certain,
political observers agreed today,
that both major parties will slide
into the Presidential year of 1924
with sizeable splits within their
ranks over international policies.
While the Republicans are war
ring between themselves over the
issue of President Harding's court
proposal, the Democrats are no
less divided, even at this early
stage of the game, over whether
the Democratic platform of 1924
shall specifically indorse the
League of Nations as did the plat
form in 1920.
The Republican fighting is in
the open; the Democratic fighting is
under cover and growing in in
tensity.
The leagues relations to the
Democratic platform in 1924 formed
one of the chief topics discussed at
the McAdoo conference here last
week, it was learned today. Nc
Adoo himself participated.
FaVOrS An Association.
After the conference, Senator Will
liam H. King Dem.l Of Utah caused
a small sensation in Democratic
circles with the confident predic-
ton that McAdoo would be the
nominee of the convention next
year, and that the platform would
not pledge the party to American
entrance into the league.
"Mr. McAdoo and the platform"
said Senator King, will favor an as
ISOLATION of nations, but the present
League as such will receive no spe-
cific Endorsement"
The inference drawn from this an
nouncement was that the McAdoo
leaders had agreed to soft pedal
the League issue, despite the known
fact that ex-President Wilson, Nc
Adoo's father-in-law, will demand
that the party continue its indorse-
ment of his policies.
McAdoo himself today, in a tele-
gram to International News Service,
declined to confirm Senator Kings
announcement, or to commit him.
self either way in the fight between
leaguers and anti-leaguers within the
party.
In response to an inquiry, McAdoo
as follows:
Senator King is a warm friend,
and / appreciate highly his good
opinion, but he is, of course, express
ing his own views.
Politicians Are Worried.
The practical politicians of the
Democratic party are sorely worried
over the growing division in the
party over the question of League
Endorsement. Many of them admit
privately they would like to see the
platform silent on the Paris league,
but how to accomplish this in the
face of the sick man in S street"
is a problem over which they shake
their heads dolefully.
Democrats of the King type, and
there are many of them, believe
that they have golden opportunity
to regain the White House and
Congress a year hence. They do
not believe they can do it If the
party again goes before the country
with a pledge that it will put
America into the League.
Against this faction stands the
Wtlsonian influence. the most active
spokesman for which is Senator Car
ter Glass of Virginia, contending
that the party cannot remain silent
or eVade the League issue without
at the same time repudiating the
last Democratic Administration.
and conceding the error Of the 1920
platform.

HONEST FINLAND

Nine million dollars is not MUCH internation-
much to the United States Yet this country takes
pleasure in the arrangement made by the Republic of
Finland to pay that sum, borrowed after the little
country attained its independence, and while Uncle
Sam was still Uncle to all the world.
1t is good deal that Finland is not dodging pay
ment. In fact Finland insisted paying, as
the refunding agreement with Great Britain had set
precedent Moreover she refuses to take advantage of
this country's offer of threeyear moratorium but
announces that she will begin her semi-annual pay
ments next December
What matter that the payments will run 62 years,
like those of the fve-blon British debt and that
of them will make than tiny cnk it drops
into the United States Treasury? Here is another
honest foreign debtor-another country besides the
United States that is selfrespectng and financially
solid-another bright spot in continent characterized
largely by inflated currency, bankruptcy and repudi

REFUSING TO ENFORCE

Nothing more spectacular mas happened in the
recent history of prohibition than the repeal of the
state prohibition enforcement law by the New York
legislature This action means that the most populous
state in the Union has decided not to do anything of
its own accord to uphold federal prohibition By the
Eighteenth Amendment the federal and state govern
ments are given Concurrent power of enforcement,
New York if this legislative action stands, refuses to
use its power leaving to federal government the whole
burden of dry enforcement in that state
The evasion of responsibility cannot be complete,
because state and municipal authorities sworn to
uphold the Constitution of the United States and the
dry amendment is part of that Constitution. This ap
plies to the police we'll public executives. New
theess an oath may not amount to much where will is
lacking.
The result may be great relaxation Of enforce
ment efforts in New York City and throughout the
state even though federal representatives do their
duty The situation is sii ir legallyro that in Rhode
Island where there is state prohibition law but it
is much easier for the government to cope with the
liquor traffic in Rhode Island than in New York.
One result expected if the governor at Albany
signs the repeal BILL is the immediate release of thous
ands of prisoners held for violating the state pro-
hibition law
In its strictly legal aspect, this repeal may be a
justfiable assertion of state rights. In its moral
pect, it suggests anarchy.

"Oh, my goodness! Now I am in

But, instead, he found himself in
clover, so to speak. He had fallen
into big soft patch Of green Glow

feather, bed or a load Of hay.
"Ha! Hal That was lucky!"
laughed Uncle Wiggily. "I'm in

The bunny gentleman looked

was living. And, reaching out, he
began to nibble some, thinking he

he picked the clover for Nurse

GAS CONSUMER PROFITS

This is usually the for increases in the
price of gasoline but genuine production of crude
petroleum, largely due to the 100000 barrels day
output of the California fields, is working to the ad
vantage of the automobile driver.
The problem of storage is always a vexng one to
oil producers inasmuch crude, when out of the
ground, must be stored in steel tanks. This costs
money and the average producer prefers to throw his
surplus the market for whatever it will bring To-
day, although gasoline consumption is at the peak,
there 120000O000 gallons in storage at refineres,
while the crude already available equal to than
five months demand at current rates.
The oil companies aren't losing money. Rather it
is that the public is making it, if penny saved is
penny earned.
