 The post to which Father Dowl- ing has been advanced is one of the most important in the college and carries with it many respon- abilities and special duties.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Commerce Committee
today ended a long controversy by
voting an unfavorable report on the
nomination of Willard L. Thorp of
Amherst, Mass, as director of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in the Commerce Depart
ment.
Early withdrawal of Thorp's name
by the White House was indicated
Chairman Stephens, Democrat, Of
Mississippi. in announcing the COM
mittee action, refused to give the
vote. but said there was a 'substan-
tial majority" against the nominee
Thorp, a 34-year-old former Am
herst University professor, has been
serving in the Commerce Depart
ment's principal bureau under a re-
cess appointment since last August.
Stephens denied reports that the
opposition to Thorp was based on
the contention that he was registered
a Republican.
There is no politics in the matter
at ALL he said, adding the commit
tee majority and others felt Thorp
had not had enough practical busi-
ness experience to conduct such an
important Government post.
The bureau is intended to create
larger markets for United States
products both here and abroad.

Subcommittee Votes to Re-
store House SIaSh-Fa-
vorS D. c. Fund Boost.
WOULD ADVANCE LIMIT
ABOVE sa2, $50, 900 TOTAL
Increase of Several Millions Ex-
pected-Details of Bill
Due Tomorrow.

Inc Senate subcommittee in charge
OF the District appropriation bill voted
To-Day to restore the Federal share Of
next years expenses to the budget
hgure Of s5,700,000. The House had
reduced it to S4,364,295.
The Senate group is understood to
nave agreed also to a substantial in
crease in the total amount of an
propriations above the House figure
of s32 $4,000.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of
Oklahoma, subcommittee chairman,
SAID that the detailed changes made
IN the bill would not be made public
until the subcommittee reports to the
entire Appropriations Committee at
II o'clock tomorrow.
Millions Increase Seen.
1t is probable that the bill as finally
reported to the Senate will carry sew
eral millions more in total than the
House allowed.
Since the bill passed the House,
the Budget Bureau itself has recon-
mended that s1.70000O be added to
the emergency relief fund. and the
District Commissioners asked the
Senate group to add approximately
81 100000 more for a variety of other
purposes.
If the supplemental relief money is
included, as is likely, the total for re-
lief next year would be $1,000 900,
since the House bill already contains
81. 300, 900.
The other 81 300, 900 increase urged
by the Commissioners was largely
school and bridge items, together with
increases for the tuberculosis clinic,
child hygiene stations, children's hos
pitals and for added expenses of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
In addition to these amendments
the subcommittee also had before it
many other requests for school prof.
ects. To what extent these recon-
mendat:ons of the Commissioners and
civic groups have been allowed will
not be known until the bill is re-
ported to the full committee tomor-
row.
The Federal contribution of S.
100000 had the approval of the House
Appropriations Committee when it re-
ported the bill, but the reduction to
new low level Of S4,364,295 was
| made at the last minute on the floor
of the House. The argument used by
those who brought about the reduc-
tion was that the District owed the
Federal Government 70 per cent of
the sewer fund advance made avail
able last Summer by the Public
Works Administration.
Donovan Opposes Point.
Before the Senate subcommittee,
however, District Auditor D. ]. Dom
ovan and other District officials Wig
orously opposed that contention and
insisted the sewer money was grant
and not combination grant and
loan as contemplated by another Sec
ton of the public works law.
They demonstrated to the Senate
group that the District government
is forbidden by law to borrow money
and that the Commissioners could
not have accepted or spent the sewer
money had it been rendered as loan.

TOXIC. May ga formal protest
against Great Britain'S imposed
quotas on Japanese imports likely will
be the first gun fired by Japan in the
Anglo Japanese trade war, it was in
dicated in high government quarters
today.
A majority of the foreign office
officials believe the British restrictions
on japanese trade infringe upon the
most characterization clause of the
Anglo-Japanese commercial treaty.
For this reason, high government
official said, legal experts are studying
the relation of the treaty to the
quotas announced by Walter Runci-
man, British Board of Trade head. to
determine definitely whether Japan's
rights have been infringed upon.
Will Defend Treaty Rights.
If infrir cement i. shown, Toxic GER
tainly will protest, the official said
addirg:
We are determined to defend our
treaty rights
He recalled as precedent that
Japan protested similarly when France
instituted import quotas against jap
anese commerce.
The official said Japan will refuse
to make any peace overtures and will
not propose a compromise or suggest
revival of the project for an Anglo
japanese trade conference.
Such a conference was Britain's
idea, he added. and while Toxic was
awaiting definite proposals from Lon
announced Monday Britain's positive
unilateral anti-Japanese action.
Japan. at present. is withholding
retaliatory measures. it was empha-
sized. but is retaining free hand to
act when circumstances compel.
Resent British Move.
While officials and leading indus
trialists insist that the Runciman
restrictions on japanese imports
particularly silk, will do little harm
TO Japanese trade. they keenly resent
Britains move thus to overcome in
creasing japanese competition.
Foreign Office spokesmen said:
1T is entirely natural that Brit
aims sudden drastic action should be
deeply resented in certain quarters
in Japan. where it is compared to a
commencement of hostilities without
an actual declaration of war
Nevertheless, japanese industry
faces the crisis, calmly confident of
its ability to meet the British chal-
lenge and believing that eventually
this test will further improve and
strengthen Japan as an industrial
power"

ton Of y cent pound in the tariff

ment of 1902 the world rate on sugar
brought into the United States is %

sugar imported from Cuba was re-
duced from 2l2 to 1.59 cents per
pound.
