This means that dealers will sell

there was an apparent and obvious

NEW HAVEN FILES
FOR BANKRUPTCY
Unable to Secure Federal
Aid, Railway Requests
REORGANIZATION.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 23-The New
York, New Haven e. Hartford Railroad
announced today that it filed a petit
ton for reorganization under section
IT of the Federal bankruptcy act in
the United States District Court of
Connecticut.
Howard S. Palmer, president. in
statement issued at the close of the
meeting of the directors, said the road
had reluctantly taken this step only
after exhausting every possible means
available to the company for meeting
its obligations as they mature.
Palmer explained that continued
low gross revenues, which dropped
from sl42 900 900 in 1929 10 approx
mately s70.000000 in 1885, the ex-
haustion of its collateral through
loans granted by the Government
last year, and inability to obtain new
funds at the present time, together
with the uncertain outlook for meet
ing cash requirements in 1886, made
the step inevitable.
This step is expected to place under
Federal trusteeship one of the once
richest railroads in the United States,
operating more than 1000 miles Of
lines in densely populated Southern
New England between New York City
and Boston.
Railroad experts state that this car

found exemplary the liquor license was
issued.

HEARST'S TAX CUE.
Publisher to Quit California
Because of Levies, Va
riety Informed.
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf. October 23.-
today that William Randolph Hearst
had announced his intention of doing
what the film folk had only threat
ened last Spring-leave California be-
cause Of high taxes.
The multi-mililonaire publisher an
nounced last night that high taxes
were compelling him to leave the
State and that the movie industry
might be lured away for the same rea-
son.
The only immediate comment of a
motion picture executive was from
Louis B. Mayer, but he did not refer
directly to the movie industry.
MIR. Hearsts leaving" said Mayer,
evidences the fear in all our minds
OF the disastrous consequences of reck-
less and discriminatory tax legislation.
1t seems inevitable that others will be
obliged to follow. regardless of their
great love for this State"
President of Producers.
Mayer Is president of the Asoscia-
ton of Motion Picture Producers and
a leader in the fight last Spring
against the State income tax, at which
Hearst directed a major share OF his
criticism.
The publisher, in a letter to the
Hollywood editors of Variety. said he
was being forced to close his California
places for almost exclusive residence
in New York because of the tax situa-
ton. He said combined Federal and
State taxes take "over 30 per cent" of
his income.
Il am inclined TO think" Hearst
wrote, that if some alert motion pic
ture company should establish studios
in Florida or Delaware or New York
City or some other suitable Eastern
place they could get many of the most
valuable stars away from California. "
Gov. Merriam Silent.
In Sacramento Gov. Frank Mer-
riam. whose administration forces
passed the income tax measure, said
he had no comment Several film
studio executives likewise declined to
make statements.
The income tax measure, the rates
Of which go from to IS per cent,
with exemptions similar to the Fed
eral levy. was designed to raise about
10,500,000 annually to bolster the
States depleted treasury.

And all this happens now when
statesmen are still talking about dis
armament conference and London Is
urging another naval conference in
the course of this year.
The British can adapt themselves
to a new situation with greater ease
than any other people in the world.
Since 1929 they have been talking
and pushing disarmament with un-
equaled vigor. Now they say the
pursuit of this high ideal has, once
more in history, proved a most dis
appointing chimera and Providence
is usually on the side of the big bat
talions.
In advocating a rapid increase in
the British fighting forces the fire.
eating British statesman Winston
Churchill quoted the sentence of an
American colonel during the Civil
War. When asked the secret Of his
successes, he replied:
Il always get there fustest with the
mostest men" And Great Britain
wants to be in a position to get there
"fustest" with the "moStest' ships.
The British reluctantly admit Ma
chiaveli's theory that might is right"
and are prepared. for while at least.
to make it their slogan,
Why were the japanese allowed

despite the League of Nations and

tackle them. So in order to SdUe
the Leagues face the potoers sent

There is no longer a question of
sending a Lytton commission into
Ethiopia to be dined and wined by Gen.
de Bono and Halle Selassie. Italy
might get away this time with her ex-
pansionist policy the same way Japan
got away with Manchuria. But Great
Britain has thrown overheard her dis
armament policies and is getting ready
for the inevitable next performance
which is likely to occur either in Europe
or in the East within the next few
years. And when it occurs Great
Britain does not want to be dependent
on the support Of any other power.

the reins of government to somebody
else.
But Laval got out of 1t gracefully.
In his reply to the British govern
ment-the text of which was not
published-he told Sir Samuel Hoare
that, of course, France would stand
by Great Britain and the League. and
would lend her navy and naval bases
to the British if and when naval
sanctions will be applied against Mus
solini.
Naturally, he added, these sane
tions must be decided by the League.
And in this apparently innocuous
sentence lay the Joker. The de-
cision OF the League to apply mill
tdry sanctions must be unanimous
and LdUdl did not say hoU France
mould Dote. He made I'D his
mind. hoWouer. that in case such
sanction precipitdted world
par the French delegates would
say no.

The British government accepted
Laval's reply gracefully; there was no
use making fuss for the time being.
But they have been able to read be-
tween the lines and realize that now
they may get only the support Of
Liberia, Haiti and Portugal and other
such naval powers when the time
comes to apply naval sanctions against
II Duce
While pourparlers between London
and Rome are proceeding at the pres
ent moment in somewhat friendlier
atmosphere than 10 days ago. with
Laval as the peace broker, the British
government has decided to spend a
good deal of money on its navy, air
force and army.
The British statesmen have come
to realize that the peace dove which
had been fluttering over the British
Isles ever since Ramsay Macdonald
became Great Britain's number one
diplomat. has not been able to land
with its olive branch anywhere in the
world.
The truth about the inability of
the British Navy TO face a really
serious emergency is coming out, pos
sibly with more emphasis than the
actual facts would justify it.
When Neville Chamberlain, the
holder of the purse-strings of Great
Britain, proposed boldly a much
bigger navy, despite the heavy ex-
pense which the new naval building
will involve, Lord Lloyd got up in the
House of Lords and said: I'VE now
understand the melancholy spectacle
of the naval review held during the
silver jubilee, showing the country our
shrunken forces"
The British government PROPOSES
now to increase its navy and its air
force so as to have a definite prepon-
derance on the seas over any COM
bination Of European naval forces
and equality in the air with the
strongest foreign air force.
In order not to operburden the
taxpayer, Mr.. Chamberlain pro-
poses to float a great national
