a fight on it by Congressman Scott
Leavitt of Montana. Mr.. Leavitt
contended that the provisions dis
eliminates against the western
states. 1t was stricken out on a di-
vision vote 43 to 33.
Mr.. Leavitt explained that he un-
derstood the section stricken out
to mean that the board of control
of the stock exchanges of Is or 16
of the largest cities in the nation
could pass upon and approve secur-
tiles, and having done so, could send
them out in the United States mails
into the several states without ref
creme to state blue sky laws, since
the states have no control, through
laws they may pass, over the mails.
He moved to strike out the para
graph Gin order that all securities
may be put on exactly the same foot

be exercised toward securities sent
out to the advantage of those in
control of the stock exchanges to

thing else is discriminatory and I'M
The congressman pointed out that
resources within the western states
and companies formed to develop
them, would be choked out if the
provision should be enacted into law.
Mr.. Leavitt was Joined in the fight
by other western congressman, in
Leatherwood and Cotton of
Utah, and McKeown of Oklahoma.
In the vote no attention was paid
to party lines.

With reference to the charges for meals for prisoners while being trans

public opinion is disagreeab1y sur
prised by the fact that President Loder
of the Hague Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice has not been re-
e ected president for the next three
year period, although he was eligible.
Prof Max Huber, Switzerland, has
been elected in his place, while, on the
other hand Vice President Weiss has
again been reelected.
Every one is wondering what may
be the reason for J.oder's quite I'M
expected check.
In Hague international law circles,
where the correspondent tried to
fathom the mystery, he was told with
some reserve that the defeat of Loder
may be the immediate result Of the
recent decision of the court in the case
of the Greek subject. Mavrematis. who.
in 1914. obtained from the Turks con-
ceSsionS for the construction of tram
ways and irrigation and eectric light
ing supply in Palestine.
Some of these plans were used dur
ing the war by British authorities, and
the Greek government, acting in behalf
of Mavromat1s, required compensation
from Great Britain, which refused to
give it, The Ha~ue court in its judg-
ment rejected the plea of the British
government in the case of concessions

suspect day after day, without re-
