NO GRAIN BOUGHT LEAGUE MAY talk
ABROAD: PRAvDA OF ARMS SCANDAL

GENEVA, Feb. 90. - That the
League of Nations will verbally inter
fere in the case of the arms cargo
shipped by an Italian firm to the
Hungarian government is being in
timated here.
In spite of the fact that Foreign
Minister Valko of the Horthy govern
ment denies the League has any right
to intervene in this instance, the pow
ers are preparing to discuss the case.
Plans are being made to silence
both Germany and Italy as interested
parties when the discussion arises. 1t
is understood here, however, that the
discussion will be purely formal Since
England will not recede from her sup
port of the Italian fascists tho the
British are reported to fear that the
violation Of the war materials ship
ment clause Of the Trianon treaty may
be used as precedent for covert
armament by the Germans.

'PLAN TO EXTEND
BIG ROTHERMERE
PRESS COMBINE
See Ceaseless War on
Labor in Move
By LELAND OLDS,
Federated Press).

A new capitalist attack is seen by
leaders in the political and economic
wings of the British labor movement
in the announcement that Lord Roth
ermere will extend his huge news
paper combine. He will establish a
chain of evening papers in IA indus
trial centers outside London.
+ Rothermere, successor to North
cliffe who made and unmade govern
ments during the world war, is Eng
lands leading newspaper capitalist.
Through his Associated Newspapers,
Ltd, he owns the powerful Daily
Mail, the Evening News and the
Weekly Dispatch, all of London. His
Sunday pictorial newspaper including
the Daily Mirror also WELD enormous
influence.
For the latest year for which fig
ures are available Rothermere's AS
ISOLATED Newspapers reported net
profit after all charges amounting tc
$5,460,000. This combine pays regular
1000 cash dividends on its common
stock. His Sunday pictorial newspa
pers made a profit of S1,580,00C
bringing the total profits of Rother
mere's two enterprises to $7,040,000
The Sunday pictorial trust pays 25%
dividends.

papers in circulation, its daily aver
age in 1926 being 1,756,O00. For I

times the rate for similar advertising

Labor circles regard the move as
an attempt to extend the sphere OF
Rothermere influence to the detri-
ment of trade unionism and the La

parties but represents the pure capt.

 Captain Wilkins said he had been considering the plans since 1922 and would continue to work on them until they were realized. He intends to explore the coast from the Ross sea to Graham Land and ascertain If 1t is possible to estab- fish weather service stations there.

What I said in the primary campaign has come true" he said. T charged that the new powers of Tammany hall and their candidate for mayor, James J. Walker. in- tended to betray the people and they have now betrayed them" In some circles this was taken as an indication that Mr. Hylan. who is democrat. might again seek the mayoralty either as an independent democratic candidate or as a fusion candidate supported by the republi- cans.
 The courts decision held the five cent fare to be coniiscatory in that it provided earnings of only o.5s per cent last year, according to the I. R. T. figures,
 Determination of permanent flair and reasonab ble" rate is to be referred to a special master to be appointed by the court. In the meantime the fare can be raised by the Interborough to seven cents upon posting of bond which would guarantee return to the passengers with interest of any additional! amount collected over the fare which is finally fixed. This bond, It is estimated, would be S10,00o, 900 to 5000, ,000.
 To Appeal Case
 The city took immediate steps looking toward an appeal to the United States supreme court. In granting the increase asked by the Interborough the court left open the way for a further increase in the fare to eight or 10 cents said William II. Ransom, counsel for the I. F. T.
 The decision held that the I. R. T. had the right to earn eight per cent a year upon all property used in the operation of elevated and subway lines. To give the company an eight per cent return upon it's valuation of sS9S,79$.G4S the car riders of New York icty would have to pay s49.2S0,731 more than last year.
