The Committee Of Public Utility
Executives today announced establish
ment Of permanent offices here "to
continue the fight" against the hold
ing company act.
The committee, which heretofore
maintained temporary Offices in
downtown hotel. will move about No.
vember l to an office building.
Promising the constitutionality of
the act will be tested promptly, Philip
H. Gadsden, committee chairman,
said:
"If the act Is declared unconstitu-
tional, doubtless other legislation will
be proposed. If 1t is declared con-
stitutional, we must redouble our ef-
forts to obtain amendments to the
act which will make it regulatory
and not destructive.
In the meantime, we recognize
that until and unless it is declared
unconstitutional, this act is the law
of the land. We have accepted the
invitation Of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission to cooperate and
have advised Chairman Lands that
our Office in Washington will be pre-
pared to facilitate the commissions
work in preparing the rules and regu-
lations, etc., with view toward max
ing the act as little burdensome on
the industry as possible.
1T is important. however. that
there should be no misunderstanding
of the effect of this law. 1t is the
most drastic and destructive piece Of
legislation which has ever been passed
by Congress. If enforced as intended
by its sponsors, it will dismember
practically every large holding COM
pany system and destroy in large part
the investments of millions Of men
and women"

BOLIVIAN PROTEST
SCORES PARAGUAY
10000 War Prisoners Are
Held in Bondage, Says
Appeal to League.
By the Associated Press.

- --0NN~@~N~~
GENEVA, October 26.-Bolivia pro-
tested against Paraguay's treatment
Of war prisoners in such scathing
terms today that Geneva received the
distinct impression all problems of the
Chaco war are not liquidated.
Thousands of Bolivian prisoners Of
war are being held In bondage by
Paraguay, Bolivias note to the League
Of Nations declared.
The communication, which momen-
tarily diverted attention from the
Italo- Ethiopian war. said the prisoner
problem, which the Ruenos Aires
Peace Conference was unable TO solve,
constitutes grave detriment to
thousands of unfortunate men,"
Estimating the number of prisoners
in Paraguay at 10000, Bolivia said
their labor represents a big, steady
source of revenue for Paraguay under
"servitude or bondage similar to the
constraint formally exercised by lord
or slave owner over human material"
The note added the refusal of Para
quay to release the prisoners repre-
sents a means Of bringing pressure to
bear on Bolivia to Induce Bolivia to
accept peace terms incompatible with
justice and honor"
Now that the Buenos Aires con-
ference has declared the Chaco war
ended, Bolivia contends. there is no
valid reason "for keeping men as
serfs or hostages when war has given
place to legal and diplomatic contro-
versy. the duration Of which unfor-
tunately was not fixed by the Buenos
Aires protocol"
Bolivia appealed to the world con-
science to solve the vital problem Of
social and moral salvage"

CARGO OF SOY BEANS

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 26.-The steam
ship Barrie cleared the port of Chi
cago for Montreal yesterday, carrying
47000 bushels of soy beans-the first
export shipment of that crop to leave
Chicago in three years.
The consignment, from Illinois
farms, will be transferred at Montreal
and shipped abroad, Bartlett, Frazier
& Co., it's consigners, said. Chicago
brokers said about 100000 bushels
more would be exported within the
next 10 days.
Yesterdays shipment, officials said,
signalized an expected development
of a new export field. Heretofore Eu-
ropean markets have purchased soy
beans from Manchukuo, Korea or
Japan.
The American product, however,
has been placed on an export parity
with the Asiatic product.
