BERLIN. Oct. 19.-Fear of a con-
siderable increase in the price of
coal was raised here today by talk
of an understanding between Euro
pean producers to fix coal exports
Business circles expressed the be-
lief such an arrangement inevitably
would raise prices here, because the
importation of British coal would
be reduced or even eliminated. The
outlook has alarmed German con-
Sumers. who point out that British
competition in the past has bene-
flied Germany.
One expert, writing in the Berlin

iSh coal not only has helped keep
down prices in Germany. but also
has improved the quality of Ger
man coal.

BINGHAM AND SUGAR

Senator Bingham Of Connecticut has given every evidence that his tariff beliefs range high. He was one of the two members Of the Sen ate finance committee who held for the increase in sugar duties sponsor ed by the House in the Hawley- Shoot bill. If there is one feature of the House tariff bill which elicited widespread criticism it has been the attempt to hoist the tariff on sugar so high as to exact millions of tribute from the American home in favor If the domestic sugar industry.
 If Senator Bingham were for the highest possible duty on products manufactured in New England his attitude would have been under standable and in the main not sur prising. But New England produces no sugar.
 The senior Nutmeg senator appar- cntly favored the aims of the sugar barons because he felt they were en- titled to the same consideration as New England manufacturers. Along the same line of reasoning he is or ought to be in favor of higher tariffs for everything in the list, including such articles which, when they cost more. will injure rather than bene- fit the people of New England

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS,
 AND THE BRIDGE

It came out a little while back that the New Haven railroad was ready to proceed with thesconstruc- ton of a new bridge-With the help of the city-at Black Rock avenue and West Main street. Some citizens naturally wondered how it came that the railroad suddenly became so enterprising.
 Now comes the additional infor- nation that the railroad is ready to spend the neat sum of s5,0O0,OO on improvements. Naturally, in the face of such munificent spending, the railroads share of the cost of q new bridge is a mere bagatelle, if not less
 New cars, better tracks. improved stations, improved freight cars, and a multitude of other improvements are on file for action.
 Needless to say the mayor must take this as a tip that the time to continue working up energy on that Black Rock bridge is now. and not later.
 Next year the railroad may not have much money for improvements

 "The illicit peddling of opium is a very serious charge" said the Judge. Have you no statement to make that might temper the verdict ?''
 The Queen of Chinatown shook her head.

END OF AN EPOCH IN AVIATION HISTORY

Today saw the final elimination of an epochal flight. The Graf Zeppelin, aptly called the queen of the air." has concluded it's trip around the world from Lakehurst to Lakehurst.
 In this newspaper the other day appeared the picture of the first flight of the first Zeppelin 20 years ago. when the expressed hope was that the craft would remain aloft 24 hours.
 And it is within the memory Of many of us when little pieces ap- peared in the paper from Friedrich shafen stating how Count Zeppelin was hard at work trying to make gas bags fly. but was receiving no great applause from the doubting millions of his own country. The idea of guiding a balloon through the air seemed preposterous.
 Today the first dirgible to en- circle the globe has completed the task. Public acclaim is widespread because the world is bound to take due and proper notice of an accom- plishment that augurs so much for the future.
 The concluding lap of the journey around the planet-from Los Angeles to Lakehurst-was in the nature of spectacle for countless thousands of persons along the route. A large proportion of these had never seen a dirigible, just as there are millions living in the in terior who have never seen a naval vessel or the ocean.
 The Graf broke records that will stand for a long time. Due honors must go to her skilled and modest commander, pr. Hugo Eckener.

NORTH CAROLINA FAIR IN STRIKE TRIAL

Perhaps realizing the widespread criticism that can come to a state following unnecessary harshness in conducting a trial that elicits nation- wide attention, North Carolina is not following in the footsteps of Massa- chusetts.
 During the Sacco-Vanzetti case in the Bay State criticism was general that the state made no effort at all to comply with public opinion else where. Charges that the men were railroaded to death naturally gained currency among a goodly number of citizens.
 North Carolina is confronted with the necessity of trying l 6 young men and women as a result of the killing of police chief in Gastonia. Every reasonable effort has been made so far to satisfy public opinion else
 where that the persons facing charges are not being unfairly dealt | with. Indeed, the state is bending backward in the effort to make it i appear that no railroading of pri- sonerS is intended.
 The judge selected is from outside l the judicial district where the shoot 1 ing occurred a change of venue was | promptly granted; special venre Of | jurymen has been called; and the 1 first rulings from the bench granted | sundry contentious of defense coun- sel. Furthermore, the bench ruled l that the charges must be in more specific terms than presented by the i prosecution. an important prelimin- l ary victory for the defense.
 The conclusion is inevitable that i the administration of justice in the
 Gastonia case in North Carolina will ] be more in keeping with reasonable ! standards than was the Sacco-Nan-
 zetti case in Massachusetts.

STATE BAND CONTROL HAS DEMERITS

The public, in our opinion, should look with suspicion and disfaVor upon any plan that would yield suzerainty over the public lands to the states.
 The federal government rightly took under its wing the protection or the public domain at a time when it's rapid deterioration was threaten ed by the rapacity of private inter- ests in the western states.
 President Hoover. in his letter read before the conference Of gov ernors of public land states at Sal' Lake City, was addressing an audi ence that to a man favored states control over the public lands They have their reason.
 The President argued that these states can take care of the land question more compctently than the government
 This depends upon what one means by "competently."
 What the land states would lose on time in doing, if given control over public resources really belonging to citizens everywhere, would be to sell them or lease" them to private in- terests at the earliest opportunity.
 That in reality is what the so- called public land question is all about. Private interests have been itching to get in their hands upon the remaining public resources and the government has stood in the way
 It is surprising to note that Pres ident Hoover favors the government stepping aside in the interests of so called ''economy."
