Consideration of a plan for
modification of the antitrust laws
so raw material producers may
combine to restrict production
and prevent waste of natural re-
sources was held probable in Of
ficial circles today.
Action of the United States
Timber Servation Board,
headed by Secretary of Commerce
Lamont, Secretary Of the Interior
Wilbur, and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Hyde, in calling on Congress
to consider suspension of certain
phases of the antitrust laws dur
ing the present emergency, has
brought the question to a head.
The board is the first official
body to go on record as favoring
a modification of the laws. In
a resolution it pointed out larger
freedom of action would be given
to forest industries in adjusting
their affairs provided they would
be able to cooperate under proper
Federal supervision to control pro-
duction, maintain employment op-
portunitieS, and conserve natural
resources.

TARDIEU SEEKS
BARGAIN

PARIS, March 81 G.N.S0.
Premier Andre Tardieu will go to
London this weekend determined
to strike a bargain with Prime
Minister j. Ramsay Macdonald
which will preserve the "princi-
pie" of reparations payments,
even if the Bank of France has
to lend Germany the wherewithal
to carry out her part of it.
International News Service
learned today that Tardieu in
tends to discuss with Premier
Macdonald the interlocked prob
lens of reparations, disarmament,
and the proposed Danubian
federation.
One of Tardieu's principal de-
mandS will be that Germany
make a lump-sum reparationS
payment, sufficient to cover
British and French payments to
the United States to December
Is, 1882.
Tardieu will insist upon mainte-
nance of the principle" of
reparationS until 1888. Complete
freedom of Germany from repara-
tions payments will be held up to
washington as the price of war
debt cancellation.

CITY CENTER

Washington's $4,000, 900 mum.
cipal center is a matter of the
future, according to District
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan, who
says that District revenues make
construction impracticable at the
present time.
The District surplus account
will be exhausted by June 80, it
appears. Furthermore, the Dis
trict has paid $6,OO0,OOO from sur
plus for the site, and the Treas
ury has not as yet paid the
District $4,000, 900 for the present
District Building.
1t is said that the Treasury is
awaiting instructions of Congress
in this matter, since there is no
certainty as to whether Congress
expects the Treasury to pay 100
per cent of the cost of the build
ing or so per cent.

sounds. Slave masters Of the olden
days. hearing the sounds, were pre-
sumed to shout "scat!"- In the FASH
ion used on cats. Hence the name!
But there are others, students OF
American folk songs, who point out
that similar yodeling was used In
cowboy ballads. Helen Black and
Margaret Larkin, who gathered a
volume Of cowboy songs, recall that
such classics as "Get Along Little Dog
gies" have "yip-yip-yip-yeow" fin
ish not unlike the "hye-de-ho."
Over on the East Side, they'll ask
you to notice the similarity to old
Hebrew chants and ballads. Once
the choristers get wound up with
their "ho-de-hoes," resemblances to
ancient Oriental chants become EVIL
dent. So, argues another faction, 1t
all comes from Africa. The negroes
transplanted it from Morocco and the
Holy Land sections, some insists.
While those who take their sea
chanties seriously insist that negro
sailors revised old sea ballads or
picked them up on the wharves. Ven
cradle sailor songs as loft for the Rio
Grande" wind up with series of
walls and echoes, such as "And aw-a-
y-o-a-way-o"
So there you are! And If, per-
chance, some reader may have any
other versions Of where the "scat''
came from-just send them in!

keep their real party leaders In the
background, thereby eliminating some
OF the clash of personality which al
ways threatens the stability Of DO
litical groups.
During the recent Republican hey
day, Boies Penrose was quite as much
q Republican boss as Bryan was a
Democratic boss, but Penrose was
never a candidate for the presidency
and Bryan was perennial candidate.
Therein lay considerable difference
when it came to maintaining party
harmony.
In this year Of all years, when the
Democrats would like so much to win
and in which they have the best OPP
portunity In more than a decade. the
leadership complication is liable to
prove embarrassing.
Perhaps one reason the Democrats
have been the minority party in the
nation for so long is their inability to
harmonic differences between party
leaders. 1t seems they would not
really be Democrats II they were able
to do so.
