AlRMAIL CONTRACT
CASE IS APPEALED
Company Seeks Reinstatement in
Action Against Farley in

The Supreme Court was asked yes

Transport, cancelled year ago In
the general airmail shake-up, and
to permit the company TO bid for

OF the companies which lost It's fran

sion and fraud In connection with
bidding for contracts.
In annulling the company's con-
tract, Postmaster General Farley pro-
hibited the airline from carrying
mail for fiye years. The company
sued the Postmaster General in the
Supreme Court Of the District Of Co
lumbia to have It's contract reinstated

Law Will Check Excess Output,

NEW YORK, February 23.-The oil
conservation bill, made law by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's signature last night,
was hailed today by Col. Ernest O..
Thompson, chairman Of the Texas
Railroad Commission, as perfect
measure"
. The law "is complete and leaves
nothing needed" the commissioner
said. He regarded 1t as an effective
check against excess production and
vas confident that it avoids the legal
pitfalls that thwarted similar legisla-
ton last year.
1T will be helpful" he said. "in
stopping the interstate movement of
excess oil. It creates power for con-
troll that the State never possessed"
Col. Thompson viewed the laws i'm
portance primarily from the stand
point Of conservation. He said that
where there Is no market there is no
inducement TO produce oil, and the
result will be equality for all producers
on q pro rata basis.

FRANCE SEEKING
STABLE CURRENCY
Feels Time Is Ripe for Some
Agreement With U. S.
and Britain.
by WILLIAM BIRD


~ Radio TO The Star.
PARIS, February 23.-The French
government feels that the time Is near
when some agreement must be reacned
between the gold bloc countries and
the sterling bloc on the staoilizatlon
Of exchanges.
It had been understood that the
adjourned London Economic Confer
ence was to be reconvened in Wash
ington this Spring or Summer. but 1t
is generally agreed that there Is no use
bringing that conference together
again unless there IS a preliminary
agreement as to what is to be done.
During the recent visit OF Premier
Flandin and Foreign Minister Laval
to London, M. Flandin made several
fruitless efforts to draw the British
government into discussion OF the
monetary problem. He was informed
that England could not discuss the
subject so long as the intentions OF the
United States had not been made
known.
M. Flandin, on the contrary, had
hoped that he could persuade England
to see the advantage Of presenting
united front in Washington. But 1t
soon became evident that England
considers that the pound and the dol
lar must for the present stick together.
French Proposal Unknown.
Nobody knows as yet what kind OF
stsbilization the French government
would propose. Ofhcially, the Flandin
cabinet adheres to its promise that
the franc will not be deprecated IN
relation to gold. All that 1t Is seeking
to do, ostensibly. Is to wiring from the
United States and England an assur-
ance that the dollar and pound will
not be devalued further. But both
these currencies have been approx.
nately stable since early in 1884,
when the American Treasury fixed
the price of gold at $35 an ounce.
Since then the pound sterling has
declined slightly, until 1t now Is ap-
proximately at its normal dollar
parity, and from all indications the
British governments intention Is TO
keep it there.
The writer, however, has been as
sured on credible authority that Pre-
mier Flandin while in London gave
the impression that France would like
to draw the franc and the pound
closer together" l. e., that he believes
the rate Of the franc to the pound
should be higher than "a francs. This
has led to the supposition that France
would not be averse to q slight de-
valuation Of the franc, provided that
in so doing an exchange war" Is not
started.
Seek TO Avoid Devaluation.
In other words, If France devalues,
II must be once and for all. and not
the beginning Of o race between the
gold bloc and the sterling bloc, the
6nsl end Of which nobody could
foresee.
Neither England nor the United
States wants the gold countries to
devalue their currencies. Should
France and the other nations decide
on their own initiative to devalue, the
fear Is that the United States and
England would ut once ripoee by a
further devaluation Of the dollar and
pound. M. Flandin is understood to
believe that monkeying with currency
cannot 60 on indefinitely, and that
the sooner q broad international
agreement to stabilize at fixed rate
is reached, the better 1t will be for
everybody.

The temporary suspension was made
on the ground that presence Of the

ed for 23 years, might keep Reams

The warden's post had been under
