BREADTH OF VISION
URGED IN MERGER
Washington C. of c. Speaker
Broadcasts Plea for
Traction Move.

The various interests concerned with
the proposed merger of the Districts
street railways were urged to forget
their differences and strive for the
common good, last night by Dorsey w.
Hyde, jr., executive secretary Of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce. in
a radio address broadcast from station
WMAL.
The speaker discussed at length the
various arguments relative to the ques-
ton of Jurisdiction of the Public Utili-
ties Commission and the courts and
stated the position of his organization
as a compromise between two extreme
views.
THE Washington Chamber of Com
merce does not believe" he declared.
that the District of Columbia should
be made into 'trying-out place for
model or other premature legislation.
In the present instance it feels that in
agreeing to the surrender to the Public
Utilities Commission of the legislative
powers now exercised by the courts,
the street railway companies have gone
as far as, in fairness, they may be ex-
pected to go.
THE chamber, therefore, has rec
commended to Congress an extension of
the powers of the Public Utilities Com
mission to achieve this end, but with
appropriate safeguards so that there
shall be no undue infringement upon
the field of the courts nor upon the
right of the individual to appeal to the
courts for final action upon any cause
in which his personal rights or the
rights of the community are at stake
1.-THE District of Columbia has every
thing to gain from properly conceived
transit merger plan, such as has been
recommended for some 20 years past by
the washington Chamber of Commerce.
The people of Washington have right
to expect that their interests be not
sacrificed and the merger plan delayed
or defeated by overinsistence upon de-
tails which are not essential to the
success of the undertaking."

that stops to arbitrate an international

Of course, the country is not ready

WHAT THE TREATY DOES
W. G. COSTELLO,
Manager

Most newspaper readers probably feel
that everything that needs to be said
about the London naval treaty has al
ready been said, many times over; but
since President Hoover has called the
senate to meet in extra session to con-
slider the document, and since in certain
quarters intensive efforts are being made
to arouse new opposition to the treaty,
it is evident that little more discussion
cannot be out of place.
In looking at the whole thing, one fact
stands out-the adnlirals and big-navy
men of the three countries chiefly in
volved-England, America and Japan
are unanimous in condemning the treaty.
And when you compare their statements,
they hardly make good sense.
Japans big navy party swears that
the treaty leaves Japan hopelessly infer
ior to the United States in a naval way
American admirals and a few senator's
retort that the treaty puts America be-
low Japan's level and also leaves us far
inferior to England. And in England
such men as Winston Churchill protest
that the treaty leaves the British navy
almost helpless as compared with the
American navy.
What are we to make of all this? All
three parties can't be right One treaty
can't possibly make each of three coun-
tries inferior to the other two.
Obviously, the thing that is biting all
of these admirals and big navy spokes-
men is the mere idea of naval limitation.
These men sense that the London treaty,
imperfect and mild as it most assuredly
is, is only "a beginning. This treaty,
when you look at it closely, does very
little reducing of any navy; in Americas
case, in fact, it calls for a billion dollars
worth of building.
Why. then, all of the fuss? Simply
because the treaty is new step, halt
ing and uncert ain as it may be- toward
a general cutting down of all navies in
the future. 1t helps to establish the
principle of limitation. The big-navy
men of all countries, consequently, will
have none of it.
When you look at it in that light, you
can see that the London treaty amounts
to more as move away from war than
we have supposed.
Imperial Valley press., 1930-07-12
A NEW PLAN FOR PEACE

Whether we like it or not, power brings
with 1t responsibility.
America, as a nation, has gained enor-
nous power in the past two decades
more power, perhaps, than any other
nation on earth has held for a century
or more; but this power has brought
duties in its train, and one of our most
important jobs in the next few years
will probably be deciding just what these
duties are and how we can best fulfill
duties are and how we can best FULFILL
them.
Admiral Mark Kerr of England, ad-
dressing the final session of Rotary In
ternational in Chicago, suggests that
America has it in its power to put an
end to war if it dares to take the initi-
ative.
He proposes a new proclamation by
this country-an international announce
ment like the Monroe doctrine, making
the following points:
THAT the United States will offer
to arbitrate any dispute it has with any
other nation.
2-That the United States would con-
slider as dangerous and unfriendly any
nation which went to war with any other
Imperial Valley press., 1930-07-12
THE BIG POINT AT ISSUE

Chicago's investigation into the Lingle
murder continues to show progress. A
wandering gunman is seized in Los An
geles, is put under indictment for the
murder and is to be returned to Chicago;
and in the meantime the states attorney
and his men are running down a great
variety Of clews without bothering to call
for the spotlight, and SEEM confident OF
ultimate success.
1t is gratifying to be told that the mur-
der of this newspaper reporter stands
good chance of being avenged. Gang
murders are almost never solved. If Chi
cago could set new precedent in this
matter it would be very good omen.
But there is a possibility that we will
lose sight of the main issue in this matter
if we concentrate too hard on the iden-
tity of the man who actually did the kill
ing. 1t is important that Chicago find
out who killed Lingle; but it is far more
important for it to get at the hidden mo-
tives that led to the murder.
1t seems fairly definitely established
now that Lingle was mixed up in various
dealings with the underworld that he
might better have left alone. 1t is ind-
Gated by the evidence now at hand that
he received considerable sums of money
from gangsters in return for real or fan
cied services. He was supposed to have
influence with certain city officials
which of course, is why he was able to
collect.
These are the things that Chicago
needs more light upon. For simply solv-
ing one murder, more or less, is not 60
ing to help that city end it's gang dom
nance. There will be more gunmen to
replace any that get electrocuted or i'm
prisoned. The whole sordid mess needs
to be uncovered-the relationships be-
tween gangsters, policemen and politici-
ans by which the underworld is enabled
to wax rich and defiant in spite of all
law.
The investigation of the Lingle murder
gives Chicago a chance-a small one,
perhaps, but chance-to get this out in
the open. If it can do that it will take
long step forward. If it fails, it won't
make very much difference whether the
the man who killed Lingle is caught or
not.

in the crowd of other animals, all OF
whom were friends of the rabbit

was shouting so loudly that more

Then those three old animal gen

and began throwing the rubber balls,
catching them as they snapped back
on the end of tie rubber string.
And then, all of a sudden, along
came Aunt Lettic, the goat lady !;
Mrs. Twistytail, the pig lady, and
Mrs. LOngears, the wife of Uncle
Wiggily. The animal ladies looked
at their husbands playing this child

BECOMES Fine AT
GREATER MILEAGE

Few people ever stop TO think
how fine the stream of gasoline be-
comes when a motor travels on an
average of 20 miles per gallon. The
earburetor spins a gossamer web of
the power-giving fluid almost as
fine as that spun by the tiniest

"When gallon of gasoline is
