ISSUES AT LONDON CONFERENCE,

As was anticipated, the London naval conference is reaching a show down over the submarine question, most recent word from St. James, s palace being that Great Britain and the United States are willing 10 abolish submarines entirely. As was also anticipated, France and Japan are as yehcmently in favor of the poor mans battlcship" as the two English speaking nations are oppos- ed to them.
 II is not likely that French con- sent can ever be attained 10 the elimination Of submarines. Her chef naval interest since the war has been in maintaining powerful fleet of submarines, Her financial condi- lion. il is kcld, does not permit her to indulge herself in the higher cost arms of naval defense in any thing like the proportion of Great Britain or the United States. But in submarines her channels Of com- ntuniCation with her north African possessions are satisfactorily main talncd. She wishes to concentrate q great part of her naval strength upon her submarine arm. Thus she is willing to agree upon the limita- ton of total tonnage of the naNies but will listen to no argument to prevent that tonnage being divided into the type Of vessels she prefers, except in the case of battleships and aircraft carries. in which types she Is not greatly interested.
 France has not changed her posi- = ton since declining to join Great Britain the United States and Japan in the fruitless Geneva con- ference of 1927: and even at the Washington conference of l921-o2 she already had taken that position. IL is unlikely that she will change now.
 The discussion is likely 10 b. academic. as the dispatches assert. Yet there IS one point regarding the reported French contention that de- serves wide knowledge, She is re- ported ready 10 agree--if the at tempt 10 abolish submarines does not suce2gd--to 'humanizc" sub marine warfare to the extent of not using them against merchantmen.

I T.ANGIlNG IliI LAW

\ law in theory is supposed to bt de4initc and clear In practice, how ever. it IS a rare law or ordinance which does not require "interpre- tatons" of one sort or another. fire uuently by the high courts. before it's meaning is definitely known. Then. when the gentlemen who pass d the law in the first place arc dis satisfied with the definition ulti- pIatcly provided. they can pass an other law: and there is no guarantee that it will bc more definitely word d than the first onc. Opportunity for more interpretations then are provided. A long life is necessary to discover actually what some laws lIean
 The trouble lies in the usc Of ,nelish by those legal minds who raft ordinances and laws. WrtinG law that is so definite that there g no doubt in anyonc's mind as 10 what is meant is science, it not an art.

\ DETECTIVE IN TROUBLE

Down in New Haven one Of those incidents occurred which Illustrate the care that policemen are expect cd to exercise in arresting or at tempting to arrest individuals.
 One Of the basic elements Of guarding the law is that an officer is not justified in shooting q per son only suspected Of a misdemcan- or, even though the suspected per son is attempting to escape.
 Shooting fleeing suspects is only justified when the suspected person is one who evidently has committed a serious crime.
 Consequently the detective who shot such a fleeing misdemeanant, causing death, is held by the deputy coronor as criminally responsible.
 But there is another question in VoIved. Suppose policemen are slow 10 use their reyolvers and the sus- pected person, even when only sus- pected Of minor crime, whips out q gun and shoots his way to free dom?
 This question very forcefu.v arose in New York recently, alter a policeman had been shot and kill ed under such circumstances. The police commissioner told his men 10 be ready with their guns. even when not intending to use them; but if the suspect is seen to reach for his back pocket. or make similar motion which can be req sonably construed as dangerous, then it is their privilege 10 shoot regardless
 The first result of this advice oc- cured in Brooklyn, where a man who had violated parole was traced to his former home. When he emerg- d the officers chased him. he ran. was thought to have reached for 8 pistol, and was shot dead by the po- Iicemen, No gun subsequently, Was found on the Nlctllu's person.
 On the whole the method in New ork has it's advantages. IL prevents suspected persons from getting the drop on the police and protects the lives Of the latter. Tn. police. O course, need not, shoot unless J threatening move is made
 The New Haven case which has created l stir in the city. has re- suited in the mayor advocating q police school' where policemen and detectives can be Instructed in the line points of their profession. Such T school has been in session in New Britain for more than a year. It Is 10 he hoped, therefore, that no New Britain policeman would make mistake like the one made in New Haven.

CHANGING THI. TARIFF
 METHOD

It is not likely that ma ajority O. the Senate will look with favor upon Senator Shoots plan to base tariff
 rates upon the domestic value of
 articles. Indeed, whenever this ques- ton has been brought up a ma iority of the Senate has been in
 opposition Fin principle.' Yet the
 pending tariff bill provides for an Investigation by the President on the
 adNisability ot adopting United
 States valuation ot imported
 products in the future. also directing
 the Tariff Commission 10 convert,
 before January 1, 1882, the rates in
 the bill to rates based upon 'do-
 nestle value" as basis for future
 legislation if desired.
 There IS world Of difference 0e- tween ad Naorem rates and do-
 mestic rates. Only about one third O.
 the duties in the present tariff law
 are ad rdlorem, but they include inn portant products. Ad valorem rates
 represent either the foreign or inc export value, whichever is the high
 CT. The foreign value is the freely of torcd wholesale price in the country
 Of eXportation. The export value is the freely offered wholesale price there for export. Ii neither Of thes2 values can be ascertained. then the United States value is used. The lat ter is the wholesale price of such or similar merchandise" in the prin- cipal United States market. less de- ductions for duty. commissions up 10 six per cent, profits up 10 eight per cent, and certain costs and expenses.
 United States valuation is most popular m the House. In the Sen ate the plan is not so popular. It is doubtful whether the farm bloc and the southern Democrats will ever consent 10 the plan in the up- per body.
 But a movement toward United States valuation was made in the Fordney- McCumber act of 1922, when the President was empowered to alter rates under certain condi- tons 10 equalize cost of production at home and abroad; and if neces- sarE he might base the rates upon the American selling price. By the summer of 1929 this was done in the case of four products. In the case of dyestuffs. however, the l'ordney act retained American valuation. and since American values are normally much higher than foreign ones, the effect has been to make the tariff on dyes so nigh as to sharply restrict 
 It was the matter Of dyestu1fs that was tackled in the Senate the other day. At bottom it is the issue in the of the chemical rates. i The Senate bloc is showing uniform l success in slashing all these rates to figures substantially below the i House rates, The reason for such | action is definite idea among the | Insurgents and Democrats that too much protection in chemicals and l Ives tends 10 create an American | chemical trust. The chemical inter- ests have simply asked such high | rates as to arouse strong opposition in the Senate. which is likely 10 go to the other extreme.
