INJUNCTION OPPOSED.
d. c. Heads Oppose Interference
With Parking Regulations.

Dismissal of the injunction bill Of
the Independent Taxi Owners Asso-
citation, In which It seeks to restrain
alleged threatened arrests Of members
on charges Of parking cabs at places
other than cab stands, Is sought in
a motion filed In the District Supreme
Court today by the District Of Column
bia Commissioners. 1t Is the conten.
ton OF the latter that the association
should wait until the members are
arrested and then seek relief in the
Police Court.
They also contend that a court of
equity cannot prevent the enforce
ment of police regulation which
designates public cab stands. The
matter will be heard next Monday.

these fundamental cultural objects
which are common to this area and do
not exist outside it, 1t seems certain
that communication probably OF an
indirect nature existed between the
peoples of that area. The ruins of
ancient cities in what are now the bar
rem sands Of inner Asia, reported by
Sven Hedin and other explorers, tend
to support this theory OF early contact
across Asia to the Mediterranean.
Ancient Pottery Uncovered.
In the Provinces Of Shansi and
Shensi Mr.. Bishop reports the finding
of pottery similar to that found In
Turkestan, Russia, Mesopotamia and
the Balkans, all of it dating back as
far as 5000 B. G. Whatever contact
there may have been so far back was,
of course, extremely slow. The use Of
iron in China, accordingly, came much
later than the use by Western peoples.
Mr. Bishop found the airplane to be

ing to native tradition, a shaft leads
down to the burial chamber. The
Itinerary chamber IL believed to be in
the center. and there IL a local tradi-

graves. In view of the hostility Of the
natives to those who would tamper
with the tomb, no one knows what 1t
contains.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-09-21
Purpose Is Disclosed.

The purpose Of Mr.. Bishops sojourn
OF four years was not, however, pri-
ln1arily excavation. 1t was rather to
pick out sites and collect data which
would enable excavation to be under
taken more efficiently when the time
is ripe for it. Although China is the
lonly one of the great archaeological
fields promising rich rewards which
still remains to be explored, the time
for that exploration has not yet come.
In the first place, the great mass of
the people have yet to be weaned from
their superstitious fears that inter-
ference with the graves of their an
cestors will bring misfortune on them.
Such fears are a concomitant of the
ancestor worship, which is common to
China. The ignorant expect the out
ragged spirits of the disturbed dead to
withhold rain or inf1ict disease or
otherwise punish the sacreligious. Con.
sequently the eXcavator of tombs has
frequently TO take his life in his hands.
Mr.. Bishop reports that the young
Chinese Nationalists, many of whom
have been educated abroad, have an
enlightened spirit toward archaeological
research, and he believes that as the
political situation Gains down and
these men have time for other things
lfIlI1 pOlllIcS Iney VIII ny IH6lT dCIlV-
tiles spread this spirit through the
country, so that widepread excavation
will become possible. The number of
Chinese Psychologists at present is
very limited, says Mr.. Bishop, but the
race, with its capacity for delicate
work and it's power of observation, is
apt for the science, and with the new
appreciation of the Importance of
archaeology should develop plenty of
competent wsrkmen. 1t is the purpose
of the Freer Gallery and the Smith
Fonian to cooperate in the develop
ment Of Chinese Psychologists.
Curio Dealers Loot Graves.
Another difficulty in the way Of
proper scientific excavation in China
at present, according to Mr.. Bishop, is
the opposition of the local curio deal
ers. They have agents whose business
it is to loot graves and tombs, the
more valuable of whose contents can
be smuggled to the European and
American markets and command high
prices. Naturally, these people do not
care to have the archaeological field
come under the auspices of science,
whose interest in the relics does not
spring from their monetary value.

WESTINGHOUSE
LETTER M}
1lN 81
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

VVASHINGTON-Le try to take the
w soft pedal off the real reason the
industrial east has so vigorously op-
posed the hopes and plans OF the agrl-
cultural west for federal farm relief.
Millions of farmers must have put II
down to plain cuSsedneSS, but there is
much better reason to believe that 1t
is traceable to an intelligent selt-in-
terest.
For a government analyst has just
advanced the theory that agricultural
prosperity means industrial depression,
and AGRICULTURAL depression means in
dustrial prosperity. This theory is said
to be based on the experience OF TINS
country over a period of so years.
All this, of course, is directly opposite
to common belief. Hard times for the
farmer, it was reiterated again and
again, meant hard times for everyone.
With loss of the great rural market
through the farmers inability to buy.
factories would curtail, millions be
thrown out of work and the country be
in bad way.
Old Theory Blasted.
1t was great theory and the farm
ers played it for all it was worth, but
it now appears that the farmers were
only kidding themselves and the pub
lie, while industry knew all along that
it just didn't work out that way-or in
dustry would have been as hot as any
one for farm relief.
The department of agriculture has
found through the study of its econ
omist, L. H. Bean, that business and
manufacturing interests have been as
prosperous if not more prosperous in
periods of low agricultural prices. 1t
has found, furthermore, that whereas
low farm product prices have been ac-
companied by industrial expansion and
high agricultural prices
have forecast industrial slumps.
The last five or six years, as every
one knows, have seen industrial pros
perity and agricultural distress Bean
points out that similar conditions ex-
iSted in the years following 1888,
1884-5, 1867, 1914-15, 1922, all pc
riods of relatively low crop prices fol-
lowed by industrial recovery. The only
apparent exceptions" noted were in
l9O4-5 and 19O8-9.
ION the other hand" he says, years
when crop prices we're high have mark
ed the close of periods of industrial
prosperity, suggesting that shortage
Of foodstuffs and agricultural raw ma
5erialS may be an important factor in
