ASK
CURB ON UTILITIES
Report Proposes Competi-
ton by Public Corporations
to Control Power Rates.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Competition by the Government is
the remedy for public utility regulation
advanced today by the Committee on
Public Utilities of the Progressive Con-
ference held here last March.
"A definite legal limit should be i'm
posed on individual gain out of public
business" the report Of the commit
tee, signed by Donald r. Richberg as
chairman, asserted.
A complete legislative program to
carry into effect the policies of the
Progressives is outlined in the report.
The report was submitted to Senator
George w. Norris of Nebraska. chair
man of the Progressive Conference.
Many members of the Progressive group
in Congress, both Republican and Dem
ocratic, took part in the conference last
March, and it is expected that some
of them, at least, will back the pro-
gram now laid down by the Committee
on Public Utilities.
Power Regulatory Group.
Prominent among the proposals Of
the Progressives' committee is a recon-
mendation for the establishment of a
Federal commission having power over
electrical utilities comparable with the
power of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission over railroads"
Declaring that the regulation of the
railroads by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, although it has on the
whole been more effective to protect
public interests than State and munich
pal regulation of local utilities. has
"been far from satisfactory" the re-
port recommends drastic revision of
section 15-A of the interstate COM
merce act, which deals with the re-
turns to be permitted the railroads. In
this connection the report says:
THE value of property, which de-
ponds upon it's earning power, can
never be made the effective basis of
regulation which is intended to limit
public utilities to a reasonable earning
power"
The Progressives' report urges the
establishment of Government railway
system, supplementary to and COM
petitive with the privately owned rail-
roads, whereby the transportation serv-
ice of the Nation may be improved and

Transmission of an official reply from
here to the League was expected TO
follow although the framing OF the
message was expected to take some time.
Gilbert would participate actively
only insofar as the Kellogg BRAND
pact is involved
The japanese attitude has been that
this agreement does not apply, the
trouble in Manchuria being regarded
at Toxic as merely a neighborly dis
agreement and not a war.
While the American Government has
refrained from referring to the trouble
as war and has not invoked the Kellogg
BRAND pact, it has Indicated that it is
ready to do so If the situation warrants.
