THE SUBWAY FARE WRANGLE

Sophisticated financiers in New York have known for long time that citizens are paying more than five cents to ride in the subways or elevated trains. True, they pay only d nickel, but the city owns part of the Interborough. it built a large number of the subways, and it owns part of the equipment. 50 that when the city loses on its investment the loss is made Up from taxes.
 The car riders don't see the extra taxes paid: most of them are not realty holders and they pay their share of this cost through rent. In other words. the heavy losses sus- tained by the city through it's transit partnership is made up from taxes. which are paid by the realty own CTS, who get the money from the renters.
 All of this Is not saying, however, that the Interborough will have easy sailing in its battle to obtain a seven- cent fare. It is entitled to certain re- turns on it's business, of course: but it made a. contract with the city in which the five-cent fare was ex- pressly stipulated. If it costs the Interborough more than five cents when it costs the city more to haul a passenger it is the taxpayers loss. The city manifestly has the advan- tacc on the face of the contract.
 When the contract was made the Peterborough was eager 10 sign it: it did so with it's eyes open. so to speak. And courts have shown no tendency to break contracts for concerns finding their terms oncr- ous.
 Added to this is the proven fact that the Intcrborough is badly man. aged. II earns money on its subway patrons, but it insists on oper- atinC horde of surface lines on which it loses money. The Inter borough management manlfestly wishes 10 hold onto its surface car franchises in order to prevent the city or others from developing bus lines as a. substitute The surface lines arc huge losers because they are mircl in traffic nearly all the time and walking usually is faster. Buses arc not much better, except they can bc kept off the most con- sestcd thoroughfarcs.
 Tn the background is the certain knowledge that a fare increase will enrich the stockholders of the Inter- borough immensely. this through the advancement of security values. From New York of1icialdom down to street sweepers, the Interboroush owners are not liked well enough 10 make them willing 10 See such de- velopment.
 The fight in all likelihood will go to the Supreme Court Of the United States and will become q landmark in transit history.

FRENCH ST UDY
!. j. s. INDUSTRY

PARIS, May 10.-The influence
American methods of mass pro-
duction have had upon the French
automobile industry was described
by Andre Citroen. speaking before
the American Club.
M. Citroen declared that from his
own factory more than 100 en-
ployes had been sent to the United
States to study American methods,
spending months there. II have
established English classes in my
plant" said the noted manufacturer,
with regular attendance of 200.
We subscribe to many American in
dustrial magazines, abstracts of
which are distributed through the
plant"
Needs Differ
Some inconvenience. said M. Cit.
roen. resulted from French methods
OF construction, due to the peculiar
needs of the country. Particular
attention must be paid here, he
pointed out, to production of cars
which, while attractively designed.
have low fuel consumption and low
taxes, vines the tax is based upon
engine horsepower.
The result, he said, was that
French cars require more frequent
change of gears in climbing hills
and have higher motor revolution,
causing some vibra ton.
Blame for the lack of expansion
of the French Industry he placed
upon the failure of manufacturers
to standardize. thereby reducing.
production costs. Statistics show,
he declared, that in the United
States 100000 workmen are neces-
sai'y to manufacture 100000 cars.
whereas in France 100000 work
men are required to build 100000
cars.
Industry to Grow
Discussing the future of the in
dustry and whether it is possible to
go on manufacturing cars indefi-
nite1y, NJ. Citroen declared that in
his opinion it could. In France
alone, where 100000 motor cars
are in service, inquiries showed. ne
said, that 100000 would be
needed within a short time.
Supposing such result could be
reached within ten years, he said,
this means there would have to be
manufactured 100000 cars yearly
plus 100, 900 for upkeep and replace
ment and $4,000 for export, making
250, 900 cars a year.

KELLOGG PACT
DELAYED over
RIGHTS OF U. S.
Reed Bloc Seeks PreSerVa-
Fl tion of Monroe Doctrine
in Plan.

BY bHtttU EICoo
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The
reservationists fighting the Kellogg
anti-war treaty, led by Senator
James A. Reed, Of Missouri, delayed
again today an expected vote on
ratification of the document in the
senate foreign relations committee.
Reed and the others indicated in
the executive debate that they
would propose an accomanylng
resolution stating emphatically the
United States would accept no
implied sanctions in the treaty and
would reserve all its rights regard
ing the Monroe doctrine.
THE reservationiSts would seek to
have this resolution transmitted to
all the fifty-nine nations which
have signed the treaty, Reed told
the United Press. The resolution
would have the effect Of a reserva-
ton, although it could not formally
be classed as such.
The committee will meet again
Monday and will sit every day until
the treaty can be voted upon,
Chairman Borah announced.
Borah said he had not yet aban-
doned hope of getting the treaty be-
fore the senate and having it rati-
fed before adjournment for the
Christmas holidays, week from
tomorrow. The added delay, he adj
mitted, made this seem impossible
however.
