Washington, July 5.-(F-Adnin
istration changes in Japan. Great
Britain and the United States-the
three leading naval powers-are re-
garded in official and diplomatic
circles here as having brought to the
fore viewpoints favorable to naval
reductions.
Since President Hoover was inau.
gurated March I, the United States
has taken the leadership in pressing
not only for a worldwide policy Of
naval limitation, but for reduction in
fighting fleets. no matter how dras-
tic. In connection with this Develop
ment, Prime Minister Macdonald Of
England promptly initiated CONVERSE
tions with Ambassador Dawes looking
toward q basis Of agreement on the
naval question between the two major
naval powers.
Japan Favorable
Former Premier Tanaka of Japan,
officially informed the American
government that Japan would be
whole -heartedly favorable to any steps
which might lead to some solution
of the naval problem, and the liberal
government Of Premier Yugo Hamag-
schi. who has just taken office, is ex-
pected by diplomatic and official
circles to play an active part in any
disarmament negotiations.
The most intimate problem which
each Of the three administrations has
before It is the working out of q for
mula on the basis Of the ''yardstick"
theory urged by Hugh s. Gibson,
American ambassador to Belgium, at
the recent session of the League Of
Nations preparatory disarmament
commission. Under this theory. the
naval strength Of the several naval
powers would be measured by relative
considerations of age, armor. speed.
and other such factors in the ships of
each category.
Americans Have Plan
American naval experts have al
ready evolved tentative plan along
the lines of the theory, and the
United States is prepared to place its
formula in the hands of the prepar-
atory commission as soon as some
other powers have deposited their
formulae.
After the various naval powers have
deposited their formulae, meeting
Of the commission will be summoned
probably in Septemher-to work out
q common agreement on the technical
aspects Of the situation. This will
probably be followed by a meeting OF
statesmen to agree upon final solu-
tion Of the problem from a political
viewpoint.

Working For South Texas

During the past two years development of South
Texas, and especially the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
has proceeded at a pace unprecedented in the South.
rominen in this development has been the South
Texas Chamber Of Commerce. organized to serve the
entire region. and which. during the two years Of its
existence, never has failed to function in the inter-
ests Of the section it serves.
Development Of South Texas has brought many
problems, and in the years to come it viii be nee
essary to depend more and more upon the regional
organization 10 work out their solution. As COM
munities develop tho regional problems also develop.
and their solution without the agency Of an central
organization, designed q serve al communities,
would BE almost impossible. .---
The Lover Rio Crande Valley is At present vitality
interested in freight and refrigeration rate adjust
ments. and If these arc secured millions Of dollars
will be added 70 tho profits OF Valley growers. The
Valley also Is interested in better highway eonnec-
tons. in legislation vitality eEfecting this section. in
I'll Of which IL must look to the South Texas Cham
her Of Commerce for guidance and aid. These are
merely a few OF the activities in which the regional
organization is engaged. activities Of vital interest to
the present end future Of the Valley and all of South
Texas.
In recent weeks the South Texas Chamber of
Commerce has devoted its energies toward organiza-
ton in behalf Of legislation in which South Texas,
and especially the Valley, is greatly interested. In
P few weeks the regional organization will assume
the leadership in the battle Tor refrigeration ADJUST
ment. which, II successful. viii add hundreds ri
thousands Of dollars to growers profits. In the Sue
cessful battle for rate adjustment. which has re-
suited in opening manv new markets for Valley pro-
ducsion. The organization also took 2 leading part,
which is greatly appreciated by Valley growers and
SINNERS.
No Organization can operate unless II + properly
financed. The ono way to add to the prestige. in
fluence and power II the regional chamber Is to pro-
vide ample finances 10 carry ont its program. Fu-
ture development Of South Texas depends to q great
extent uron the success Of that program, and South
Texas cannot afford to be parslmmonious in is fl
nancial support.
South Texas has merely found its stride in devel-
cnmcnt. That the coming years will be marked with
progress and development 70 2 greater degree than
he's been attained Is obvious. providing South Texas
continues TO cooperate tremendously in the solu-
ton Of regional problems and maintains a we'll
financed regional organization which can serve as
the medium through which cooperation can be eN-
tended.
The South Texas Chamber Of Commerce has to
come extent been hamrered in its activities by lack
Of finances. This condition should be remedied with
out DELAY, and the organization provided with the
means whereby il can carry to n successful conclu-
sion the program that he's been mapped out in behalf
Of the region it serves.

The World amdAll
COMPETING WITH TIE AUTOMOBILE
By Charles r. Driscon

The automobile has taken precedence over other
vehicles. The very keen competition in the field Of
automobile manufacturing has resulted in the pro-
duction Of handsome and useful motor vehicles at
astounding low prices.
Every year the cars are more beautiful and more
useful. They run silently. They are visions Of love-
" mechanism. They are works Of modern art in
their designing and coloring. They are marvels Of
convenience. The engines are more and more eff
Gent.
Roads are being built wider and smoother and
more durable. and permanent road construction is
only just beginning.
The automobile Is coming into its own. This is
its greatest year, and next year will be even a greater
automobile year.
The railroads. just now coming out Of a period Of
'slothful dependency that had its beginning when the
railroads broke down utterly under the strain Of war
transportation. arc taking notice Of the triumphant
competitor that runs on rubber tires.
Electrification must be the first answer Of the
railroads to the automobile.
Already the New York Central has announced its
intention to electrify its lines between New York City
and Buffalo. This Improvement will take years of
work. and fabulous sums of money. The Pennsylva-
mia will ~electrify its lines between New York and
Philadelphia.
For many years all passenger lines entering New
York City have been electrified within the city, and
for some miles without.
Electric power is much smoother than steam. and
makes for the comfort of passengers. Especially. IL
eliminates the noise and dirt of the steam locomotive
Many Americans can be tempted back into the
railway cars if they can be assured a fast ride in
comfort without cinders TO fill up their eyes and SCOT
to choke their pores.
In Europe some serious effort already has been
made to lure travellers away from the automobile and
into the railway car.
The fastest trains in the world now run between
Paris and Calais.
From Bordeaux to the Spanish frontier the lines
have been electrified, and the trains are marvellous
creations for passenger comfort. The cars are d.
vided into ten compartments each, with plenty OF
room and much luxury for each passenger.
The artist who decorated the great steamship lie
de France has decorated these passenger cars. The
French are doing their utmost TO make their rail-
roads attractive. for they know that passengers dc
not have to ride on them.
