FARE BOOST

Although several Of the recognized
champions Of the people were pres
ent, the first public hearing pre-
sided over by the new Public Utili-
ties Commissioners proceeded with
out the customary wrangling and
fiery oratory generally experienced
at hearings in the past.
The hearing today is on the ap-
plication of the Washington, Mari
boro and Annapolis Motor Line
Inc, to return to the old fare OF
four tokens for so cents. The pres
ent Is 10 tokens for 81.
Some months ago the company
was 'gra nted permission to reduce
fares within the District over an
experimental period Of two months
namely, April and May. This time
was extended, however, for an ad.
ditional 80 days.
l.. l.. Altman, president of the line,
stated that during the experimental
period his books showed loss Of
$712 and for that reason he believed
the return to the higher rate of fare
is justified.
Ralph B. FIeharty. peoples coun-
sci, took a contrary view Of the mat
ter, declaring the showing made by
Altman does not justify a higher
rate of fare.
William NICK. Clayton was on
hand, as usual, and crossquestioned
Altman at some length as to the
system of bookkeeping of the com.
pany..
Neither PEOPLES Counsel Ralph B.
Fleharty nor Altman made any at
tempt TO support their respective
contentious with verbal arguments.
They asked that they be given three
days in which to file briefs explain

FARM AID TO Be.

The huge Government agri-
cultural relief organization,
created by the Hoover farm
bill, will be stabilizing prices,

Administration leaders pre-
dicted today.
The action of Congress in passing
the farm relief measure and in inn.
mediately appropriating $151, 10000
to finance the Governments aid to
farmers will insure Federal help in
marketing all major crops this fall.
The intervening weeks will be re-
quired to establish the Federal
Farm Board, its advisory councils,
the necessary stabilization corpora
tions and the warehouse associar
tions.
Race for First Benefits
There will be race between the
wheat growers of the Middle West
and the producers of perishable
fruits on the Far West coast for
the honor of benefiting first from
the Governments aid. If the fruit
growers win the help received viii
be in the marketing of their crops;
il the wheat growers are first ths
Government will act to remove the
entire surplus from the American
market, besides aiding in marketing
the remainder.
The first step in this gigantic
| farm aid program will be taken by
President Hoover in naming the
Federal Farm Board, composed Of
the Secretary of Agriculture and
eight members. representing various
commodity areas. He will name q
| wheat man, a corn man, a cotton
| man and a fruit expert as well az
specialists in the handling Of va
ried crops. The Administration
leaders hope the board will be Or
ganized by July /.
Once the board is operating 1t

growers already have organized to
make such a request, as have the
wheat growers associations. Other
crop organizations undoubtedly will

Aid For Cotton Crop
The extent of relief to be given
cotton growers has been discussed
here by farm leaders with the opin-
ion prevailing that a stabilization
corporation should be created in the
South solely to market cotton. If
the cotton co-operatives request it.
however, the farm board undoubt-
edly would authorize the purchasing
of surplus crops-which would later
be sold abroad.
The Government meanwhile will
be utilizing all its machinery and
the farm board, the service OF many
experts, to devise new markets for
American farm products. Drives
will be made by the Government to
expand foreign markets and to
create new demands for home
productsin this country.
All in all, the Governments aid
will remove price-busting SURPRISES
from the home market, encourage
the organization OF cooperative al.
sociations among farmers, provide
modern marketing facilities for I'll
producers, reduce the overhead costs
of marketing any crop and prevent
waste and loss in the distribution
of crops.
The whole relief organizatioH was
created, not to meet an emergsncys
but to teach the American farnaef
how to organize-as has industry
and how to get the most for hf4
crop.

j. s. POLICY
IS MADE
CLEAR
By HARRY R. FLoRY

LONDON, June 19 (I.N,S.).
The speech of Gen. Charles G.
Dawes, United States ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, outlining
the American Government s
foreign plans and policies was
hailed today as sounding the
call to the powers of the world
to reach an early agreement
on naval disarmament as a
necessary step to universal
amity.
In his first public utterance as
Ambassador to the Court of ST
James, made last night at the PHI
grirns Society dinner in his honor,
General Dawes made 1t clear that
only by first agreeing amtcably on
naval reduction could the world
powers eventually attain lasting
peace.
Echoed by Premier
Almost simultaneously, Premier
Ramsay Macdonald. speaking at a
dinner in his honor at Lossiemou1h,
Scotland, echoed similar sentiments
in making a brief. matter-of.fact
statement of Great Britain's plans
for working toward the same object
in conjunction with the United
States.
Although General Dawes delivered
his speech in an atmosphere tnat
was primarily Anglo-Amertcan, sig
nificance was attached to the TACT
that the ambassadors of France,
Germany, Japan, Belgium. Brazil
and the charge d'affaires of Italy
were among those at the head of the
table.
In his usual vigorous manner, the
ambassador urged reputation OF in
dividual treaties between nations in
favor of a united move toward dis
armament.
Urges New Methods
He urged new methods of negotia.
tions on the subject. He stressed
the fact that the agreement should
first be reached by the statesmen OF
the world and that the 'yardsticks
of naval experts of individual ma
tions should afterwards be appieo
to attain naval parity.
In a refreshingly direct manner ne
stated that il human nature were
taken into consideration in the uego-
tiations. an Inevitable compromise
between the statesmen of the world
to find a method by which compare
tive fighting strength OF naVles
could be gagged would be reached
regardless of tonnage, displacement
age and fighting strength OF ln'
diVidual ships.
Premier Macdonald in his address
told of his meeting Sunday with
Ambassador Dawes and of the
accord which they had found in the
aims and aspirations of their
respective nations for world peace.
Dawes Smokes Pipe
He stressed the fact that Great
Britain and the United States had
no intention of first reaching an
agreement on the subject and then
presenting it to other nations as an
ACCOMPLISHED fact which they could
take or leave. He urged co-opera'
ton of the nations of the world.
General Dawes has lost none OF
his affection for his famous under
slung pipe since becoming ambas.
sador. During the dinner he smoked
it almost up to the minute OF ar1s-
ing to make his address. All the
others present smoked cigars.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, former
foreign secretary, who sat on the
generals right, showed marked in
terest in the pipe. He viewed II
through his monocle while General
Dawes explained it's mechanism.
Later he also explained how it
worked to Lord Desborough, presi-
dent of the British imperial council
of commerce, who sat on his left
and presided at the dinner.
