GERMAN LOAN
IS DISCUSSED
Question Exists as to Security
That it May Give, Paris
Report Says

PARIS, March 28.--(By The AS
sociated Press)-While various in
terpretations may be put upon the
note the reparation commission is
sending to Germany in connection
with her foreign currency loan is
sue, the correct one, according to
some of the best informed circles,
is that it holds in substance that
there is no question of the German
governments right to offer the loan,
but that there does exist question
as to the security it may give.
The text of the note, prepared by
Sir John Bradbury of Englind, and
NJ. Delacroix of Belgium, calls at
tention to article 24S of the treaty of
Versailles, defining priority rights
in reparations and continues:
The commission makes express
reserve, as against subscribers to the
loan, of'its right of priority against
any funds which may be assigned
by the German government to the
payment of interest or the repay
n1ent of capital to the loan in ques-
tion, more particularly if the re-
ceipt itself is not applied to the dis
charge of reparation annuities."
1t is apparent that there was con-
siderable discussion before the text
of the note was drafted, and the dis
cussion made it first necessary to
obtain the Interpretation placed up
on article 24S by the legal section of
the commission. 1T appeared the
French contended this article ap-
piled virtually to any assets of Ger
many unless her reparation obliga-
tions were first satisfied.

MUST ICE ALL
MILK SOLD HERE
Health Board Orders Use of
Ice From April IS to 0c-
tober Is

The Board of Health last night
adopted a resolution, making it nee
essary for all persons selling milk
to have their supply iced and the
temperature kept at so degrees Fab
renheit or lower between April Is
and October Is of each year. This
action was taken at the request of
Health Officer Charles S. Thompson
who told of the difficulty experience
ed in the past in forcing the hand
lers of milk to keep their product
sufficiently cold so as not TO violate
the health code. The code has read
that the temperature must not ex-
ceed so degrees but has not contain
ed any provision that the supply
must be iced. Under the new ruling
of the board all bottles of milk in
wagons, stores. on platforms or at
any place where the product is f
fersd for sale must be properly iced
during the six warm months of the
year.
\ report from Comptroller Ed
ward J. Dalton was received by the
board last night and showed that
the expenditures made thus far this
year are in excess of the average
amount with which it must work II
it intends to keep within its appro-
priation. Although the comptroller 5
report stated that IL covered three
months expenditures, members o.
the health board declared the
amounts were for only two and one
half months expense, this increasing
the amount per month spent to date.
The appropriation for the year was
s27.500 of which s7,124.61 has been
spent to date, the report showed.
leaving but $20,375.39 to be spent
during the remaining nine and one
half months.
Several milk. restaurant, ice cream
and BARRIERS licenses were granted,
four final plumbing certificates were
approved and bills ordered paid.
Present at the meeting were Presi-
dent DR. Charles I. Silk, Commits
sioners Edward II. Dilts, William
zangenberg, Frank Lakomski, John
j. Buckley and Benjamin Gold
berger.

HIGHWAY BODY
INFORMED Of

Attorney General Tells Board
That Legislative Probe
Will Start Soon

More Property to be Acquired
Before Work Starts, it is
Declared
WORK DELAY FEARED

TRENTON, March 27.-The legs
latlve committee authorized by the
Stevens resolution passed by the
legislature over the vetoe of Cover
nor Silzer to investigate into alleged
Irregularities of the "ousted" State
Highway Commission will begin 10
function very shortly, according to
a statement made by Attorney Gen
era1 Thomas T. McCran here yester-
day.
Mr.. McCran appeared i'll person
before the new board in session to
answer few questions regarding the
I legal powers of the body. The cum
missioners seemed quite anxious TO
learn if the progress in the construc-
sion of the proposed Perth Anboy
bridge would be hampered by the
probe and the suit pending in court
Of chancery.
The attorney general declared
there are five properties on the north
side of the site for the proposed
span to be acquired by the stale if
the bridge is actually to be built. He
said the old commission negotiated
for the properties but never actual
ly consummated the contracts.
1T is a strange thing" declared
the attorney general. that no plop-
erty has been acquired and aid for
except that of the DonneIt Lumber
Company. That in my mind, IS .he
thing in this whole case.
Mr.. McCran also took the positIon
that the legislative probe will ma
terially expedite the prosecution CT
the action in chancery..
AT legislative probe" declared
the legal head.,"I will be able TO un-
cover things which could not be IN
covered in the court of chancery. +
there has been corruption and graft,
this case will be settled very quick
ly. If there has rot, the question
still remains as TO whether the price
of S230,000 is excessive"
The commission in the near fu-
ture will confer with the engineer,
Clarence Hudson, in Newark, at
which time the proposed plans and
specifications will be gone over.

Daugherty predicting that the chief

day from Miami, where he has been
recuperating from a recent illness.
The president and Mr.. Daugherty
have not met since the latter issued

later to the rooms reserved for him
in the Hotel Ponce De Leon, where
the presidential party is stopping.
He spent the morning resting from

Tariff Commission Already to
Start Probe of the Sugar
Situation

WASHINGTON, March 2S-A!-
though the machinery of the tar
if commission already had been set
| in motion today TO clear up one
feature of the much h-debated sug ir
situation. 1t was indicated that at
least six months would elapse before
the results of it's inquiry could be
made known.
In a telegram last night from St.
Augustine, Fla, President Harding
directed that the commission estab-
lished whether the new tariff law is
helping to keep up the price f
sugar to consumers. Under the flex-
ible provisions of the act, the Presi-
dent is empowered to lower the i'm
port duty if conditions warrant it,
and he promised to do SO if the
facts developed by the commission
showed the need.
Meantime various other agencies
of the federal government. including
the department Of justice, We're
watching the trend of the sugar
market for any evidence that specu-
lators have overstepped legal re-
strictions to the detriment of the
consuming public. 1, was indicated
today that thus far the department
had taken no positive step in the
matter, although it is taken for
granted that District Attorney Hay
ward at New York would take what
ever action he found was feasible
under the law.
The order of the president broad
ems an investigation already under
taken by the tariff commission and
Chairman Marvin said today will
require far-reaching examination
into the cause and effect of the re-
cent sugar price ranges.
The commission, when it met to-
day, Immediately ordered that the
original investigation be extended to
encompass all the information
sought by the president.

Workers Are Organizing

ESSEN, March 2S (6y The Asso-
ciated Press). - The unemployed
workers in the Ruhr Valley have
taken steps to organize, forming a
Society for Mutual Benefit, it de-
veloped today. At a meeting of the
unemployed in Essen it was decided
to appoint a council the duties of
which will be to confer with the
German government regarding the
doles, or funds for subsistence. The
unemployed desire free food, free
transportation on the tramways and
assurances from the government
that their funds will be forthcoming
regularly.
Reports from Duisburg are to the
effect that the number of unemploy-
ed there is increasing because of the
closing of several factories. One of
the largest Duisburg plants. the
Babcock- Wilcox metal works, has
been forced to shut down because of
lack of raw materials.
