due to high cost of production, neces

and free trade with foreign ports,
which s@amped the country with food

MOTHER WINS MOVE
IN FIGHT FOR SON
Surrogate Refuses to Dismiss Ac-
ton to Get Custody of
Thorne Boy.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 13.--Mrs. Mary
Casey Thorne yesterday won partial
victory for the custody of her son,
Joel Wolff Thorne, jr., when Surro-
gate James A. Foley denied the mo-
tion OF the executors of the estate
of her deceased husband to dismiss
her proceedings, in which she asked
TO be appointed guardian of the boy.
She also asked that the Bank of
Manhattan be appointed custodian of
the estate of $1,O00.000 left to her son
under the will of his father
Thorne was killed in an automobile
accident near his country estate in
Duchess County May 80 last, one
day after his decree Of divorce from
his wife had been affirmed. His will
that this custody reverted to her at
the boys uncle be appointed guar
of the estate.
Surrogate Foley pointed out that
Mrs. Thorne's action in this country
had been filed prior to the filing of
the will and that she had not been
notified of the other proceedings.
Mrs. Thorne contended that al
though the decree of divorce gave
the custody of the boy to his father.
that this custody reverted her at
the fathers death.
Chase Mellen, who appeared for the
executors of the estate, asserted that
the award of the boys custody to
the father in the divorce trial de-
prived the mother of custody after
his death.

tion's immigration View.
81 the Associated Press.

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August
13-The statement Of Mr.. Hanihara,
Japanese ambassador at Washington,
that the immigration bill passed by
the Congress Of the United States
would have consequences not only in
his native land but throughout the
world, was reasserted by Yusuke
Tsurumi, Japanese representative at
the institute of politics in the first
of his series of lectures here last
night.
Taking as his thesis that war is
a menace to civilization Mr.. Tsurumi
predicted that in 10 or 20 years
Japan would be "one of the greatest,
If not the greatest, of all outside
factors affecting American progress"
The grave consequences" of the
American immigration law in Japan
do not indicate a threat, Mr.. Tsurumi
said, nor does Ii mean that any in
telligent person in Japan dreams OF
going to war with the United States"
1t did mean, however, an epoch in the
development of Japanese policy, he
asserted. in changing the psychology
of the Japanese people and the un-
folding of a drama of international
politics, in the first instance on hte
Pacific stage, and in the second on
the world stage.
Observe Spiritual Values.
Spiritual values exist in Japan, Mr..
Tsurumi said, and he made a plea
that visitors to his country seek them
rather sthan markets and fields for
missionary endeavor.

foreign affairs committee of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
in answer to the assertion of Will

American taxpayer, declared that
now that the most important step
toward world prosperity had been
taken by the Dawes plan, business
men were convinced that credit and
production would be hampered until
