the beginning Of tariff hearings before
the House ways and means committee
when the agricultural spokesman gatn-
cred to launch their claims for IMPOSE
ton OF full tariff duties on imports from
the Islands. or a limitation on duty
free receipts. The forecast that such
demands would create renewed pressure
for independence Of the islands has
been vindicated. The issue ran through
1929 with varying force. The Senate
only few weeks ago rejected a pro-
posed rider to the tariff bill, which was
designed as a stepping stone to indie
pendence Of the Philippines by vote OF
SO to a, but with several of those vot-
ing IN opposition explaining they did SO
merely because they considered the tarlft
bill poor place for such an important
subject.

The 1irst completes with various vegeta-
BILE oils Of the United States, as sub
stltution plays major role In many IN

always is fruitful Of vigorous discussion.
imports OF cocoanut oil from the is
lands have increased from an average
annual value Of $372, 1000 in the period
l9l0-l4 to more than $23, 900. 900 year:

WGY APPEAL DEFEAT
SEEN IN HIGH COURT
Counsel for Company Is Not Asked
to Be Heard, Indicating
Early Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court today in effect
threw out the appeal of the Federal
Radio Commission In the General Elec-
trio case involving broadcasting station
WGY, at Schenectady, N. Y.
When the Supreme Court resumed
hearing Of the case today it held coun-
sci for the Federal Radio Commission
down to an argument Of its jurisdiction.
Various members of the court indi-
Gated disagreement with the commits
sion's counsel In his Interpretation of
the character of review which Con-
gress had given the District Court of
Appeals over acts of the commission.
The counsel insisted 1t was a judicial
action subject to review by the Supreme
Court.
Justices of the court took the other
view-that 1t was merely an admins
trative act, from which there was no
appeal to the Supreme Court.
After counsel for the commission had
exhausted all the time allowed him for
oral argument in trying to combat these
views OF the justices, the court an
nounced, through Justice Holmes, who
Is presiding in the absence of Chief
Justice Taft, that 1t would not be nee
essary for counsel for the company to
be heard.
This was taken to mean that on an
early opinion day, probably next Mon
day, the court would dismiss the appeal
Of the commission, thus permitting to
stand the decision Of the Court of APP
peals granting full time to Station WGY

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, January 20.-Proceeding
on the theory the better the day the
better the deed. Col. Henry L. Stimson,
head Of the American delegation to the
Naval Conference, employed Sunday to
lay the ghost which has been stalking
menacingly through the London Con-
ference. The specter in question con-
sists Of suspicion, harhored mainly by
France, but considerably shared by
Japan, that the underlying purpose Of
the conference is to stabilize Joint SUI
pemacy Of the seas by the United States
and Great Britain.
In luncheon conversations with For
eign Minister Grandi, chief Of the Ital-
ian delegation, and q protracted talk
with Premier Tardieu and Foreign Min
lister BRAND at the French embassy, Col
Stimson exploded the notion that WASH
ington and London are scheming-to
use his own words-to put something
over on the other three naval powers.
Prime Minister Macdonald also has
been trying to dissipate that view. Like
Col. Etimson, the premier already has
given Japan's delegates assurance on
that score. Saturday Premier Macdou-
aid repeated them to Grandi, and on
Sunday evening the prime minister,
who saw Tardieu after the French
premier had conversed with Col. Slim
son, removed from the Partisan states
