BY staff Correspondent of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February al
Upon the conclusion of the pres
entation Of his case by Jesse G. Suter,
vice chairman of the Citizens Joint
Committee on National Representation
for the District of Columbia, several
members of the House Privileges and
Elections Committee yesterday pledged
themselves to vote to report the reSo-
luton menoria1izing Congress to ap-
prove the constitutional amendment
giving Washingtonians national rep
resentation-
Definite action on the resolution was
again delayed because SO many of the
members had to attend other COM
mittee meetings that it was impossi-
BILE for them to be at the Privileges
and Elections meeting, and Chairman
Ashton c. Dovell said he thought the
consideration of the resolution was of
sufficient Importance to demand full
attendance.
First Realization of Plight.
It was agreed, nevertheless, to hear
Suter because he had come all the
way from Washington to present the
case of the half-million Americans
there who are disfranchised. When
he had finished most of the members
of the committee said they never be-
fore had realized how serious the
situation is and promised to use their
every influence to get the resolution
through the General Assembly.
They also told Suter and Delegate
Ralph H. Daughton of Norfolk, pa
tron of the resolution, that they
thought the former should reappear
and address the full committee at a
special meeting that is to be set by
the chairman. Daughton deferred his
address to the committee until the
special meeting.
After deducting unnaturaliZed for
eigners and residents who maintain
their voting residences in the various
States from which they come, Suter
told the committee, there are still!
more than 25OOO0 persons of voting
age in the District of Columbia who
are deprived of the right of franchise.
This he said. is more than the COM
bined population of voting age in 10
OF the States of the Union.
Plead for Ancient Rights.
He explained that the residents of
Washington are seeking national rep
resentation only and that the amend
ment would not change the local gov
ernmental set-up. Arlington County
and Alexandria were ceded back to
Virginia in 1846 after resideats had
repeatedly complained of their lack
of voice in the affairs of the National
Government, Suter said, and the other
residents of the District of Columbia
are in the same position today.
He declared that favorable action
by Virginia would give great impetus
to the movement for national repre-
sentation in washington. He also
said that the residents of the District
of Columbia are pleading for the very
things which the Colonists pleaded for
from England and for which they
fought in the Revolutionary War"

British Claim Advantage

In 1924 Japan supplied India with
only per cent of its domestic cotton
requirements. Great Britain 43 per
cent. In 1882 Japan sold India more
than 645 100000 square yards, against
Great Britain's 599,o00,000. Each
competitor supplied about IS per
cent.
The British claim that, if there is
trade war against the japanese,
they have better weapons to use
against Japan in bilateral trade trea-
ties with other nations, as the British,
even today, buy more than 16 per
cent of the worlds exports. whereas
the Japanese buy only 3 per cent.
Failing to reach export quantity
restriction and price agreements with
the Japanese, the extreme Tory ele-
ments of the British cotton industry
want Great Britain to serve Japan a
years notice terminating the Anglo
Japanese trade treaty, thus severing
the most-favored-natio clause.

1t was further pointed out that

The BritiSh-Japanese trade talks here

want to confne them to marketing

The japanese assert that the Brit

that Japan must negotiate direct with

British cannot try to carve up the

sent to a division of the world mar

ing bilateral trade treaties with the
foreign countries themselves.

The British assert that they will not
conduct the conference on the basis
of the restricted area desired by the
Japanese. The Japanese delegates
are now awaiting instructions from

The japanese arguments are In

against the 1929 base the annual
proportions were 68 per cent in 1880,
SO per cent in 1881 and GA per cent

The British reply that the volume
Of japanese exports, compared with
1929. increased to 113 per cent for
cotton piece goods, 511 per cent for
artificial silk, 103 per cent for under
wear, 300 per cent for iron manufac-
lures, 280 per cent for copper and 280
per cent for electric lamps.
The British want the japanese to
agree to reduce the quantity of their
exports and also to raise their prices
The chief British concern is the
cheap japanese competition in cotton
goods sold to India. Cotton piece
goods constitute Great Britain's big
gest export item. India had been its
