IMMUNITY IN TRADE
FOR ALIENS TESTED
Antitrust Prosecution of
Foreign Governments Issue
in Potash Suit.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


Can a foreign government violate
the antitrust laws of the United
States? Is a foreign government i'm.
mune from prosecution if it sets up
trading corporation to operate on
American territory?
The Department OF Justice has an
swered both these questions in the
negative, replying to the petition OF
the French potash monopoly, which
seeks to establish a sales agency in
the United States. Col. William Dono-
van, Assistant Attorney General. who
has charge of the case. regards 1T as
one of the most significant Of the re-
construction period, since it involves
a conflict of economic theory between
continental Europe and America.
The French corporation is an out
growth of the reparations settlement,
being operated by the French govern
ment to obtain revenues which are
charged against Germany's account.
The desire to establish Il sales agency
is in line with the efforts of the
French potash managers to decrease
their deficiencies and, OF course. IN
crease their revenues. Five OF the
seven directors OF tne cOrpCTatioH are
officers of the French government.
The Department of Justice has asked
for an injunction to restrain the
French corporation as we'll as their
German affiliations from conducting
price-fixing process, which is held TO
be in conflict with the German anti
trust law.
Issues Held Settled.
The Department of Justice argues
that the issues were settled in the re-
cent decision by the Supreme Court
of the United States in connection
with the sisal monopoly, which was
fostered by the Yucatan government
in Mexico 1t was held then that the
fundamental object was to control the
importation and sale of sisal and that

Would Keep Old Cruisers.

Apart from being united in seek
ing TO have the number of 10000
ton cruisers of the United States and
Great Britain kept down to 10. the
British and Japanese delegates are
agreed on a plan of not scrapping all
old cruisers when they are replaced
lby new ones. They contend such yes
sells could be kept tor coat defense

American circles are not disposed
to accept this plan, it being queS
toned AS possibly involving an in

Cepts as a basis of discussion a 'rea-

The Japanese spokesman added that
his delegation was at one with the
Americans in this position. He eX-
planned further details, like the sizes
of ships and guns, should be dis

The Japanese delegation further
announced that it was adhering to its
estimate of 315 900 tons of cruisers and
dcstroyers combined for Japan. This
would give Japan. roughtly. 100000
tons Of cruisers, it was explained.
The spokesman added that private
meetings of the delegates We're con

that the chances of the conference be-
ing successful were about even. He
denied the current report that the
Japanese are threatening to leave

Reduction Offer Reported.

In non-official Japanese circles a re

had proposed slight diminution of
the total cruiser tonnage for the

said that this proposal was made with
the understanding that Japan would
be accorded parity with Great Britain

submarines. This was on condition,
however, that both the Japanese and
the Americans should not insist upon

FORMER EMPRESS
 OF MEXICO DIES
Death Closes Career of Char
 lotte, MaXimiian'S Widow

Brussels, Belgium, Jan. 19 LF- Charlotte, once empress of Mexico. as the wife of Emperor Maximilian. died at her chateau near Brussels at 7 o'clock this morning. Thus came to a close one of the most tragic careers in European history. for her mind had been clouded ever since she heard of the execution of her hus- band, Maximilian at Queretaro. Mex ico. in 1867.
 Several times in the last few years her strong constitution enabled Char lotte to withstand serious illness, but when last Saturday she was stricken with a severe attack of influenza, the physicians took into account her ad- vanced age-she was Sand held out little hope for recovery.
 At times over the weekend she seemed to improve; then on Tues day morning pneumonia developed. There was a hurried consultation of physicians and Charlotte's nephew. King Albert and Queen Elizabeth and the others of the royal family were summoned to the sick room. They were at the bedside when she died peacefully.
 Throughout the ex-empress' ill., ness, in fact, through the years Of her retirement, she had a constant attendant in Baron Auguste Goffinet, who was a close friend of her brother. King Leopold II, of Belgi- um.
 Baron Auguste. knowing that the empress was soon to die, spoke wist- fully last night of his relations with the Belgian royal house. of the beauty and charm of Charlotte as a girl before she married the Austrian Archduke Maximilian.
 Tt Is my sad privilege" he said. Ito bury the royal family. Leopold was right when he told me years ago Empress Charlotte is to bury us all. except yourself"
 The baron. as administrator of Elm ress Charlotte's property. added that there was no truth in the re- ports of her great fortune. While it was once something like 100000 900 gold francs. he explained that it dwindled considerably the last few years because of the depreciation of Russian and German shares. It was on July 27 last that King Albert and Queen Elizabeth paid a special visit to Charlotte at her chateau. the occasion being the 69th anniversary of her marriage to Maximiian. She talked long time with the king and Qu zen, addressing them as prince and princess. as she had never been ,inforl ed of the death of her brother Leopold. Mem- bers of Cha1lotte's entourage said at t time that she had entirely re- covered her mental powers and that sh frequently referred to Maximil- ian. But each time it was reported that she had recovered her reason. a veil again descended over her mind.
 To avoid troubling her she was kept in ignorance of many events. such as the tumbling of thrones and dynasties and even less important happenings within, the Belgian royal family. Thus she did not know of the marriage of her favorite grand nephew. Crown Prince Leopold to Princess Astrid Of SUede or the death last year of Cardinal Mercier. Her mind cleared for a few min i utes yesterday. She was given ex- treme unction and was able to talk rationally to the members of the royal family. Then she lapsed into unconsciousness and slept fitfully until death came.
