BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. while chief
delegates to the London naval con-
ference were taking a holiday Over
the weekend. their advisers and
experts began an intensive study Of
japanese and French proposals Of
methods for arriving at naval cur
tailment.
With the Japanese suggestion that
transfer of tonnage from one type
Of warship to another should be
limited 10 those ships carrying six
inch guns or smaller, the drive
against Frances demand for UNI
limited transferance of tonnage was
begun.
L. S-British Agree
Both Americans and British agree
that if nations. allotted a certain
number of tons Of naval armament,
IRE permitted to put this tonnage
into any class Of fighting vessel
they choose. the real purpose Of
armament limitation will be de
feated
Today experts studied blanks pro-
vided by France in which The
worlds navies are divided into six
classifications. Opposite each clas-
si1cation is a space in which the
experts are supposed to set down the
needs of their respective nations in
that particular type.
Transfer Proposal
The French propose that any ma
ton. desiring to eliminate ships Of
one class and substitute an equal
amount Of tonnage in another class,
shall notify the other powers one
year in advance of the change, and
that all particulars regarding type
and armament shall be made public
at least one month before construc-
ton is begun.
The French memorandum sug-
gests the five delegations submit their
written observations on the scheme
before next Tuesday.

Personal Service

~
The Illinois Central System will
carry this year fOrty-fve million pas
sengers and sixty million tons of
freight. This will require the services
of fifty thousand workers operating
facilities in which three-quarters of a
billion dollars are invested. These
large figures call for mass production
of service, yet we expect every pas
senger and shipper to receive per-
sonal, individual attention.
Such service can be rendered only
by a personnel that is capable, willing
and ready. Ours is. Members of the
Illinois Central organization are con-
stantly performing services for lii
nois Central patrons that are more
than merely transportation. They do
this to be helpful, but they know, too,
that it is good business for the rail-
road and for them
Passenger service provides many
examples of such service. Children
travelling alone are intrusted to our
protection. Aged, invalid and mex
perienced travellers are given per-
sonal attention en- route and met by
Individual escorts at terminals. Tours
are planned for vacationists-hO
reservations made, baggage checked,
side trips arranged. Shipments of
travellers automobiles are carefully
followed to make sure of scheduled
arrival.
Personal service is no less important
in the handling of freight. An Hi
nois Central bureau keeps records of
car movements for the information OF
those interested. Shipments are expe-
dited, diverted, reconsigned. Cars Of
perishable freight are iced. Live
stock is watered and fed. Whatever
the requirements of individual service
may demand, we endeavor to meet
those requirements.
Experienced patrons Of the Illinois
Central System are accustomed to
expect personal service, and every
member of the Illinois Central organ
ization is expected to be qualified, will
ing and ready to render such service.
Constructive criticism and sugges-
tons are invited.

Profits Mount in Central
War Industry
By ROBERT w. DUNN.

How capital accumulates and profits rise in
the powerful American chemical industry is
revealed by Dr. Theodore M. Swift in the cur
rent Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering.
DR.. Switz is chief expert on the economic and
financial set-up VI the chemical industries for
the Investment Research Corporation of De-
troit, organization that advises few rich
men where to put their money to bring the
heaviest returns.
All industry has been merging at headlong
speed during the last few years Chemicals
no exception. Three giant firms-"tre-
mendous horizontal and vertical combinations"
Switz calls them-stand out as premier money
makers for the wealthy They are Allied Che
mical & Dye, Union Carbide and Carbon, and
DUPONT. A pe-chart representing the total
tangible assets of all chemical companies in
the United States shows this "big three" cover
ing 60 per cent of the circle. The Dupont as
sets represent only it's chemical holdings and
do not include its dominant investment in Gen.
eral Motors which has poured tens of millions
of profits into its Golfers.
These three combined" says Switz, exceed
in size all other domestic chemical companies

prosecution, should be unhesitatingly kicked out
Of the movement.
The facts in the case speak loud, indeed The
International Control Commission considered
these facts as proving conduct "unbecoming
Communist" when it reviewed the question in
1925 If the International Control Commission
judgement, nevertheless, closed the case, it was
because of Lovestone's own admission that his
conduct was wrong, and because the Interna-
tional Control Commission believed that Love-
stone aseready torepair in revolutionary serv-
ice the damage he had done in non Communist
action as witness for the prosecution. But
Lovestone's present course must change this
judgment. The willing witness for the prose-
cution, whose only concern was not the fate of
the defendant and the interest Of the revolu-
tionary movement, but instead his own i'm
munity, has now turned into an active agent
of the bourgeoisie against the only revolution
airy Party, the Communist international. Love-
stones role today determines the judgment on
the action Of the witness for the prosecution Of
yesterday.

This protest is not sufficiently Joined with
American struggle with the result that it does
not assume sufficiently mass character. This
task the LID. must face more seriously.
Every district organization of the LID.
should concentrate activity in some Latin
American country and maintain close relations
with it.
In the Giletti case, the LID. has forced the
federal government to establish the precedent
of permitting its prisoner to go to the Soviet
Union, instead of being deported to Italy. An
effort is being made to extend this ruling to
other deportees.
Deportations continue to be one of the prin-
cipal methods of the ruling class to eliminate
the most active and leading elements in the
struggle of the working class.
insufficient activities have been carried on
to draw the agricultural workers and poor
farmers into the LID, although some progress
has been made in this direction lately and /.

While emphasizing the struggle for the work
ers' right of self-defense, the campaign Of re-
lentless exposure against the frame-up system
must be continued with all energy.
Enemies of the Working Class.
The LID. cannot tolerate as members OF its
organization those who are opposed to its class
policies. 1t must, therefore, combat the hostile
policies Of Cannon and Lovestone and those
who support them.
The LID. as class organization supports
the Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics and
joins the slogan of Defense of the Soviet
Union!" while Cannon and Lovestone are vi
ciously attacking and openly hostile to the
Soviet Power. Both fought against the correct
class policies of the LID. in the Gastoni&
campaign at the very moment when the pris-
oners were facing the electric chair.
The LID. provides assistance to the class
war prisoners and for their dependents. Every
branch Of the LID. has been called on to adopt
some prisoner or dependant.

dustries, both of which represent practically
the entire chemical industry in their respective
countries"
Reviewing the trend toward consolidation
in recent years, Swift shows that one Of the
most important forces behind the movement
has been "the fact that the large companies
have steadily improved their earnings year
after year, whereas the earnings of many of
the smaller companies have been erratic and
have shown little upward trend" He predicts
that merging will continue, for this industry
is much like the electrical equipment industry
in which there are left but two outstanding
companies General Electric and Westinghouse.
The large chemical companies will doubtless
squeeze out the AZ minor companies one after
the other.
Profits in this industry have been remark
able" says this expert analyst. Fourteen
chemical and drug companies between 1923 and
1927 increased their profits at the rate Of
12.3So year, which is we'll above an increase
of go year shown by some 381 industrial
corporations in all fields during the same period.
And profits of the three giants have increased
at an even more rapid pace--at the rate Of
1920 year.
This tremendous rise in profits--at a rate
much faster than that of the physical increase
in proluction--is due, says Dr. Swift, to "the
thoroughgoing naturalization or reorganization
that has been going on -. This includes oper-
