UTILITIES BILL

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
John e. Zimmerman, president OF
the United Gas Improvement Co. of
Philadelphia. testified today the
Wheeler-Rayburn utilities bill would
destroy the permanency in industry
of u. G. l." and result in the loss
of savings to more than 121 900 stock
holders throughout the country.
Appearing before the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee in oppo-
sition to the measure looking toward
the elimination of public utilities
holdings companies, Zimmerman de-
MED U. G. L was guilty of any of the
alleged abuses listed in the bill ex-
cept the charge of wide distribution
Of securities.
"The difficulties Of disposal or dis
tribution of the assets of company
with such wide interests as u. @. I
are very real" he said. THE loss to
investors lies in the fact that under
the bill this action is forced; that the
mathematical procedure is too COM
plicated to permit the distribution of
U. G. I. holdings pro rata among the
stockholders.
Zimmerman listed among stock
holders he said would be affected ad-
versely by the bill $4,000 women, 81
charitable organizations. AZ hospitals,
SO educational institutions, II fra
ternal groups, 81 churches. 81 church
societies and SO other neighborhood
groups.
He said trustees and guardians alone
hold 2,367 900 shares Of U. G. I. stock
and fixed the company's assets at
more than $343, 100000.

Since none of the signatories of the

Lewis Tells Senators He
"Sold Labor Down

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, told the Senate
Labor Committee today that Donald
r. Richberg had driven knife into
the very heart of labor" by his inter-
pretations of N. r. AS collective bar
gaining guarantees.
Mr.. Richberg sold labor down the
river" Lewis roared, during his tes-
timony favoring enactment of the
Wagner labor disputes bill.
The measure would outlaw the COM
ny-dominated union, create a per-
manent labor relations board and
make majority rule" part of the
law.
Lewis Renews Attack.
1t was during his discussion OF
majority rule" that Lewis renewed
his attack on the recovery co-ordi-
nator, started when Richberg held
that minorities of non-union employees
could deal with their employers on
wages and hours.

Lewis said all the members of the

Advisory Board did.
The mine workers chief favored
keeping the proposed new board in

Furthermore, the French are peeved
at the British for having suggested
to Hitler without consulting Paris,
that they resume the conversations
which were postponed two weeks ago
This the French consider a breach of
the spirit and the letter Of the Laval
Sir John Simon agreement of last
November.
To add to this political confusion,
reports from Rome indicate that Mus

BERLIN, March 19-Unofficial re-
ports that the United States Would
protest against the violation of the
German peace treaty and
rumors of a German-JapaneSe mill
tary alliance circulated simultaneously
here today.
The foreign office, busily cataloguing
the world reaction to the death-knell
of the Versailles treaty, sounded by
ReichSfuehrer Hitler's announcement
of a conScript German Army, vigor-
ously denied the Germano-Japanese
alliance rumorS.
The unofficial report Of possible
American protest said Ambassador
William E. Dodd was expected TO
present it within a few days, but that
it would be less vigorous than the
representation made yesterday by
Great Britain.
The United States Embassy. how
ever, said that no instructions On the
subject had been received from Wash
ington.
Air Power Shown.
Meanwhile, squadron of German
bombers and pursuit planes roared
over Berlin in the first military air
maneuverS since the World War as
Germany feveriShly celebrated this
mass demonstration of fitness to fight.
German officials said that, now that
the arms limitation imposed by the
treaty of Versailles had been disre-
garded. the demilitarized Rhineland
zones provisions of the treaty would
be the next to be liminated-unleSs
France accepts the demihtarization Of

The Moscow radio station announced
yesterday that Gen. Sadao Araki, for
mer war minister Of Japan, was on his
way to Berlin to conclude an alliance
A high official admitted that the idea
of a military pact with Japan had
been f1oated about a year ago, but
this, he said, was spiked by the
ReichSwehr.

said, to discuss the entire problem of

The British note, was officially de-
scribed as mere objection, rather
than protest, which was made as a

Navy Held Secondary"
Already the prospects for wrenching
the Reich loose frcm the remaining
limitations of the Versailles treaty
were being discussed in many quarters.
The construction Of a navy, which
combined with the newly created air
force, would represent double threat
to Great Britain, was said by off,
cials to be secondary matter"
Nevertheless. the government
spokesman said, the ReichSwenr has
the naval problem under study.
The demilitarized zone situation Is
complicated, with the Locarno .reaty,
Of which Germany was accepted as a
co-guarantor. However, the fact that
the zone is confined to the Reich alone
does not conform with German ideas
OF equality in the family of nations

The seeds of Reichfuehrer Hitler's
sensational military gesture germi-
mated in the ashes Of the World War,
a catastrophe which burst on a hor-
rified civilization out of circumstances
similar, in some respects, to those
existent in Europe today
Causes of the World War were diff
fuse and obscure, but many historians
agree on three powerful factors:
l. The clash of national interests
and ideals.
2. Maintenance Of system of mill
tary alliances.
8. Economic rivalry among the ma
tions of Europe.
The actual, direct cause was the as
sassination of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand of Austria Hungary at
Sarajevo, followed by an ultimatum
served upon Serbia by the government
of Austria Hungary.
Nationalism in Saddle.
Nationalism, vividly exemplif1ed in
the Nazi spirit, sweeps Europe again
today. Economic rivalry intensified
by the depression, is, if anything,
keener than ever before. And today.
as in 1914, the powers of Europe have
been discussing a system of alliances
as a possible device for maintaining
peace on the continent, even as the
old balance of power was relied upon
in pre-war days.
France and. Great Britain have
sponsored proposal for setting up
Joint defensive air alliance in Western
Europe and a new "Locarno" pact de-
signed to preserve tranquility in East
ern Europe.
Held Treaty Unjust.
Hitler, in announcing Germany's re-
armament plans Saturday, said an in
vitation to join a defensive alliance
presupposes mutual strength, which,
he indicated, Germany proposed to
acquire.
Germany has considered the Ver-
sailles treaty an unjustly attached
milestone around her neck. In recog-
milton Of the Reich's long standing
complaint, the Franco-B -Britis.' security
proposals provided for her release from
some, but not all of the treaty's mill
tary clauses.
In return for this concession, Ger
many was expected to agree to return
to the League Of Nations, participate
in the Eastern Locarno proposal and
subscribe to a general European arma-
ment limitation convention.
