BERLIN, November 26.--Regula-

film industry were made public today
by the Federal Commission for Films.
The regulations, covering period
from January J. 1928, to June 30.
1929. provide that only 260 importa'
tion permits will be issued.
Although the ostensible reason for
the regulation is to foster German
film production, the impression is that
the ARA ngement gives existing dis

imports.

Turkish President to
Visit COnstantinOple,
BOycOtted Since 1919

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 22.-
Speculation is rife here as to the
political import of the expected visit
Of Renal Pasha, President of the
Turkish Republic, to the old capital
of the Sultans and the Caliphs. This
visit of Renal to Constantinople,
which is hot-bed of anti-Republican
intrigue, after an absence of eight
years, is regarded as possible chal-
lenge to the reactionary elements in
the coming Parliamentary elections.
1t is timed to take place while the
foreign Embassies are out Of the city
for the summer season, and is to be
of a strictly unofficial character. Re-
publican Turkey has not forgiven the
allies for their attempt to throttle
the young Republic at birth, and the
fact that they still sabotage Angora,
the capital of the Republic, retaining
their Embassies in the old capital, is
keenly resented.
1t is notable that Soviet Russia is
the only foreign power which has es-
tablished its Embassy at Angora, and
extended its hearty friendship to the
Republic.

ratification by the United States SEN
ate.
A canvas of senatorial opinion
made this certain today. Without re-
gard for party considerations, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike declared
that the basic principle of Anglo
American naval parity had been de-
finitely fixed at the Washington arms
conference in 1921. and that it will
not be sacrificed at Geneva.
The unity of senatorial opinion on
this point assures support for the
state department in the rejection of
the British and Japanese programs
at Geneva. The British program of
"tinkering" with the Washington
treaty and lowering the tonnage and
armament on cruisers would relegate
the American navy to a position Of
decided inferiority, while the Japan

day would leave the United States in
