BUSINESS MEN HIT
RENT CONTROL BILL
Board of Trade Directors
Unanimous in Opposition to
Further Legislation.

Opposition to the proposed rent
control bill for the District of Col
umbia spread yesterday from the
real estate organizations TO the local
merchants and business men The
board Of directors of the Washington
Board of Trade was unanimous in
opposition to further rental legisla-
tion of any type in the District.
Not only did the organization go
on record against such legislation
but it empowered the president
Samuel j. Prescott, to appoint com
nittees to go TO the Capitol and in
form the members OF Congress of the
opposition. The question of referring
action to the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States was looked upon
favorably by the board
Members Voice Opposition.
Several members of the board took
the floor and expressed their opposl-
tion to rent legislation in peace time
John JOY. Edison declared that while
the regulation of real estate was per-
fectly proper during the war, it was
his opinion that If the law had ended
with the war emergency more nearly
normal conditions would prevail in
the National Capital today. and pres
ent troubles would, he believes, have
been avoided
The action OF the board Of directors
was based upon a report adopted by
the organization last year, which
stated
From the foregoing information
your committee is of the opinion that
the rental situation in Washington Is
improving, and recommends that If
the committee of Congress. after con-
Quoting hearings and making the
survey thar The Star of Sunday, Feb
ruary 10, reports is to be made by
the Senate, should find that an emer-
gency still exists justifying the ex-
tension of the rent act, your COM
mittee recommends that the present
law be extended for a period not
greater than one year from May %.
1924, which, in their opinion, will
give ample time for the rental sit
uation in Washington to adjust itself
by the law of supply and demand"
VI. md NJ. Association to Act.
This afternoon the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association will hold

posed bill. The association opposed

In the present rent act. The council
of administration OF the District of
Columbia Bankers Association also

rent law for the purpose of making
recomm endations to the association.
At meeting of the associate mem
bers' division of the Washington Real
Estate Board the group composed of

posed the proposed bill.

MAKERS OF TREATY
REACH DEADLOCK
Germans Advise French
Cologne Action Controls
Trade Situation.
BY tho Associated Press.

BY tho Associated Press.
PARIS, January 6.-Negotiations
between the French and Germans fol
commercial treaty have reached :
deadlock.
At the present moment both side:
are avoiding any action or declara
tion that might be interpreted as q
formal rupture, but no secret is made
in French official circles that since
the German delegates returned from
their holiday trip to Germany they
have made further negotiations iln-
possible. The modus vivendi pro-
posed by the French as a final resort
to replace the provisions of the old
commercial agreement, which Will eN-
pire January 10, has not yet been
accepted by the Germans and the
French delegates are exceedingly
pessimistic as to the outcome.
The Germans, it is said, sought to
make the continuance of the negota
tions contingent on the evacuation
of the Cologne bridgehead, January
10, leaving it to be understood that
if the allied troops remained in
Cologne after that date the French
might look for tarit W:r.
Rcfusc to Separate issues.
The French negotiators are declared
TO have pleaded with the Germans
that German interests as well as
French depended upon reasonable
commercial arrangements entirely
apart from politics. 1t is stated that
the Germans replied they could not
separate the question of occupation
by the allied forces from trade rela-
tions.
The German chemical experts, as
well as the delegates representing the
Iron and steel interests, notified the
French delegates they were unable
10 go on with the negotiations, eX-
planning that developments of po-
litical nature made continuation of
conversations impossible. The French
then proposed a modus vivendi in or
der to avoid too violent an upheaval
in Franco-German commercial eX-
changes after January 10, but the
Germans held out little hope that the
proposition would be accepted.
Proposed Tariffs ProhibitIve.
The tariffs that the Germans pro-
posed to apply to French products
are practically prohibitive. il would
appear from schedules furnished the
French negotfators.
Germans now are buying heavily
of luxuries and food products. Anti
Quarians say that the Germans are
their principal consumers for old
furniture and pictures. Also pur-
chases of wines and brandies are
being made for export to Germany, a
great portion of which win reach the
German border after the new tariffs
go into effect. In view of the pros
poets of a tariff war between the
two countries, the French are be-
ginning to examine again their new
schedules to see whether it is ad-
visable to revise some items in order
70 meet the German offensive. The
French schedules average much low
er than those of the Germans.
The greatest Immediate effect will
be upon Alsatian products. particu-
larly Alsatian wines which hereto
fore have been used extensively for
mixture with German Rhine wines.
