proposed discussions on the Porter
resolution. It's stand was based on
the fact that the De Lavigne reso-
luton, sponsored by England and
providing for another investigating
commission without taking any
drastic steps to check the drug evil,
previously had been adopted by the
commission.
Congressman, Stephen G. Porter,
author Of the resolution to curtail
opium production at the source,
withdrew from the hearings, stating
that the American delegation was
only authorized to present it's case
and not to discuss it with the COM
mission.
AS a further step in its effort to
scotch the American program, the
British government, which derives
revenue from narcotics production
in India, has proposed that each
country decide for itself the inter.
probation of the term medical use"
This, of course, opens the door to
the widest abuse by countries seek
ing to continue the production Of
opium on as large and profitable a
scale as possible.

sun WILL LAST
BILLION YEARS,
He SAYS
Or. Abbott, Smithsonian As
tronomer, Declares Heat Out
put Will Soon Be Normal.

Old Sol is good for 1000, 900, 900
more years in spite of a 3 per cent
loss in heat in the last eighteen
months, DR.. C.. G. Abbott, expert
Government astronomer at Smith
sonian Institute, declared today. He
denied reports that Old Sol might
take a vacation.
Solar radiation, or the heat given
off by the sun, is known to fluc-
tuate," said Abbott. From Novem-
Der. 1921. to October, 1922, we OBJ
served a loss of approximately 8
per cent in it's heat radiation. From
October, 1922, until the present, the
sun has maintained the same
amount of radiation, though it is
about 3 per cent less than eighteen
months ago.
IT anticipate in the coming
months and years that the heat
output will slightly increase and
no doubt will reach normal or go
higher"
DR.. Abbott said scientists have
not made sufficiently extensive
0tuulCS Vi SOldI 10 uClcI~
mine whether the cool weather this
spring was caused by decreased
heat from the sun. He also said
it was impossible to determine the
cause of the reduced radiation, al
though some scientists attributed it
to changes in the suns spots.
Scientists believe the sun has
existed in practically it's present
form for hundreds Of millions Of
years." DR.. Abbott said. with our
present knowledge it Is impossible
to fix a definite age. 1t is es-
timated the sun will continue to
heat the earth another hundred mil
lion or billion years"
Smithsonian Institute, for several
years, has been making studies Of
solar radiations at an observatory in
the Southwest. 1t is hoped to con-
tinue studies over long periods and
by deductions compile data of value
in weather forecast1ng.
Investigations Of star heat are
also being conducted, with instru-
ments so sensitive as to measure
almost incomprehensible degrees of
radiation.

Commercial Treaties.
The alternative Of circumventing
the allied apathy through the me-
dunn OF the new commercial treat

to a marked degree. The United
States with its vast wealth and enor-
nous consumption of world prod
ucts holds a commanding position
in world trade and European ma
tions, anxious for American bust.
ness, could i'll afford to reject a
commercial treaty. For this reason.
1t is thought that the American
Government might dictate into the
new conventions such provisions as
would tend to stifle the dope
menace.

matte tactics of Great Britain and

GARRETT Mex 7
DEMOCRATIC
LEADER
Kitchin's Successor to Have
Hull and OIdfied as Aids,
Reports Say.
BY A. o. HAYWARD,
International Naws RaPvica.

Congressman Finis J. Garrett OF
Tennessee will be the Democratic
leader Of the next House Of Repre-.
sentatiyes, succeeding Congressman
Claude Kitchin of North Carolina,
according to a canvass of Demo
cratic opinion made by Interna.
tional News Service today. His
chief aides probably will be Con.
gresham Corden Hull, also of Ten.
nessee, present chairman of the
Democratic national committee, and
Congressman William A. OldfieId OF
Arkansas, Democratic whip.
The leadership, left vacant by
Kitichin's death, will be filled al
quickly as the new session opens
and the Democrats can caucus.
Garrett has been acting leader
with full powers, for almost two
years, and his conduct of affairs
has been such as to win the con
fidence of his colleagues generally
He has two possible opponents fol-
leadership honors, Congressman
Charles r. Crisp of Georgia, and
Congressman John NJ. Garner OF
Texas, but neither candidacy was
regarded by Democrats in Washing
ton today as constituting formidable
opposition.
The duties Of Democratic leader
in the next House will be arduous
and important. From the OPENING
gavel, he will be expected to direct
Democratic policies in such a way
as to prepare the groundwork OF
the Democratic campaign for 1924
The slender Republican majority
and the lack of unity in Republican
ranks are expected to be fully CAPT.

Although only forty-eight years

already served nine consecutive
terms, eighteen years, in the lower
branch Of Congress. and the Sixty
eighth Congress will mark his tenth
term. He is a lawyer by profes

CUNO To MAKE
NEW OFFER
To ALLIES
Germany at Work on Proposal
Believed Acceptable to
Britain and Italy.
nv TnternationaI News Service.

LONDON, June 1.-Chancellor
Cuno of Germany, according to
Berlin advices today, is receiving
reports from industrial ennis
saries of allied countries prepare
tory to a new reparations offer
which is expected next week.
This offer is aimed to meet the
views of the British and Italians.
Settlement Near, is Report.
German officials are hopeful that,
II the British and Italians accept
the proposals, they can induce the
French to enter into negotiations.
The Daily News, which printed
Paris report that "a Ruhr settle
ment is being reached" still main
tanned today that there Is ground
for stating that ''such a settlement
Is in the process Of arrangement"
According to the Daily News a
group of German bankers is In Lon
don comforting with British capl-
talists and industrialists. A group
of German industrialists is said to
be in Paris consulting with French
financiers and business men.
France to Consider Offer.
The general impression is that. II
Germany makes an offer or fifty
billion gold marks, France will Sc
riously consider 1t, although there
Is little hope that the French troops
will be withdrawn from the, Rhur
until Germany pays up.
THE terms of the offer may be
considerably changed, yet there Is
one point upon which the British
should take a decisive stand: That
is, France should not be given the
power to veto any decision reached
by an impartial committee of
economic experts" said the Daily
News editorially.
It is understood Germany will
propose that the inter-allied repara-
tons commission appoint an inter
national commission of experts to
determine exactly how much Ger
many can pay, the manner of pay
ments and guarantees. The United
States and Germany would both be
represented upon this committee
under the German plan. It is
similar to the proposal made for a
Hhur settlement by Secretary of
State Charles Evans Hughes last
year.
The foreign office expects a new
German offer within a few days.
According to information through
unofficial channels, this offer will
exceed any German proposals hith-
erto made.

today took under advisement new
methods for stamping out the in.

Two Methods, Open.
Two ways present themselves tt
get around the indifference of the
allies on this subject, namely:
An all-American embargo on the
importation of narcotics except for
medical and scientific usage under
8trictest supervision.
Incorporation in the new com

the United States with the majority
! Of the world powers of restrictive
measures.
Officials here were frankly aston

where the League of Nations advis-
CRY committee on regulation and
control Of narcotics is sitting. to the
effect that the American resolution
calling for immediate curtailment
or growth and production was side
