 The Filipino lawyer pointed out that the Philippines with it's popu- lation of less than 13.000,000 are closely surrounded by 1000, 900, 0OO peoples of Asia who have pressing over-population problems, saying that the major. concerns of an in- dependent Philippines are not domestic but external in character They are, he said. mass immigra- tion from China, economic penetra. ton from Japan and Bolshevistic invasion from Russia, which would be irresistible"

 Bruening abruptly halted and the president hurriedIy began to pro- nounce the words of the traditional launching ceremony, but he had not finished when the vessel reached the water prematurely at about 11:57 a. m.. before Won Hindenburg was able to announce it's name.
 During the course of his address, the chancellor said:
 After our defeat, our fundamen- tai right to self-defense was one- sidedly limited. The celebration to- day candidly shows the world that Germany, even under limitations and the greatest economic distress is finding strength to safeguard peace and its honor.
 Our proud fleet, created when we were a rich and free nation, remains unforgotten. Today we are poor; nevertheless we know that same sense of duty, that same bravery and capacity, for invention, which en. ables our present fleet to make the highest achievements"
 T do not believe that any real friend of peace can be disturbed by our celebrating this launching. while simultaneously the German foreign minister, in the capacity of chairman of the leagues council, is serving the high ideals of world peace and European understanding.

OIL MERGER
IN VIOLATION
OF TRUST LAW

LOS ANGELES, Sept. . UP)-
The proposed merger of the Stan
dard Oil companies of California
and New Jersey was characterized
as a potential violation of the anti
trust laws, in a letter from the In
dependent Petroleum association of
California to Attorney General
Mitchell. made public here today.
The merger, should 1T be permit
ted, would be in violation of the
famous Standard Oil decree of
United States courts which in 1911
forced a dissolution of the giant
combination, according to Alfred L.
Marsten, president OF the aSsocia-
ton.
by decree of the United States
circuit court. affirmed by the Unit
ed States supreme court in 1911. the
Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey and the Standard Oil COM
pany of California were specifically
enjoined and prohibited from en-
tering into or performing any like
combination to that dissolved as il
legal under the antitrust laws,
Marsten wrote the attorney general.
This decree has not been modi-
fled or amended, and is directed
specifically to the two firms. The
proposed merger, in our opinion.
would undoubtedly be an act i'll vio-
lation Of this decree
Fear that the combination would
result in a price warfare destructive
TO competition on the Pacific coast,
and at the expense of gasoline con-
sumers on the Atlantic coast, was
voiced by Marsten.
