NAVAL PARLEY
FACES DELAY
OF YEAR


"A one-year postponement Of the
international naval conference
scheduled for this year was seen
likely in authoritative quarters
here today.
There was a growing conviction
that unless the League of Nations
effects some miraculous solution
of the Ethiopian war threat, post
ponement of the naval conference
is inevitable.
With the British fleet massed in
the Mediterranean and Europe
generally shaky over Premier Mus
solini'S threat to peace, the
chances of getting Great Britain,
France, Italy or Japan to agree to
any actual naval disarmament
were considered practically nil.
British Talk Big Navy
Great Britain wants m O re
cruisers than are allotted under
existing treaty limits and London
dispatches talk of billion-dollar
Six-year building program to
strengthen the British navy.
The belief prevails that the chief
accomplishment of any naval con-
ference this year probably would
be to legalize further increases in
the relative strengths of the
worlds navieS.
Furthermore, it is feared the
holding of a general naval confer
ence under the present unfavor-
able circumstances might leopard
ize the chances of accomplishing
something six months or a year
hence.
Neither the Washington nor the
London treaties actually expire
until the end of 1886, so it is felt
there is no need to be concerned
over a postponement until some
time next year.
Slim Hope Is League
Only one slim hope is held of
accomplishing anything at a naval
conference this year. That is if
the League should succeed in
averting war in Ethiopia and
bringing II Duce back in harmony
with Geneva.
In such an event, it is felt it
might be possible to effect a
world disarmament agreement,
including land as well as naval
ornaments.
The tendency to favor postpone
ment of the naval conference
does not mean this government
actually will oppose if the other
naval powers wish to meet. The
initiative is being left to Great
Britain and if London presses for

Wants Comment
On Horse Doping

To the Editor of The Times:
take this opportunity, if I may,
of raising my individual protest
against one of the worst crimes in
history-the doping of race horses.
I am not a gambler, but a lover
of sport. I love horses and to
think that these poor beautiful
helpless creatures are frequently
doped by their owners, for the
greed of gold, is horrifying.
Think of what they suffer when
the race is over. They are re-
turned to their stalls; the dope is
doing it's work, and they must
suffer untold agonies.
think this should be a matter
of discussion in your valuable
paper. would like to hear from
some of your readers and to know
where the Humane Society is.

Intensive study Of the possibil-
tiles of Subways for Washington is
to be undertaken by the Wash
ington Board of Trade, it was an
nounced yesterday at a joint
luncheon meeting of the Streets
and Avenues and Bridges com.
mittees of the organization.
Results of the study will be
submitted to the board of direc-
tors of the Trade Board If ap.
proved, the plan will be pushed
vigorously before District officials
and Congress.

priation of 100000 in the 1897

About That Petition
On Taxi Rates
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
An article which was published
in The Times recently indicates
that some people are under the
impression that the appeal filed
in the District Supreme Court by
Attorney Carey Quinn for the
cab drivers union has for it's
main objective the purpose of
forcing the Public Utilities Com
mission to give the cab drivers
a better rate than the one re-
Gently prescribed by Public Utili-
ties Commission order No. 1401.
This is an erroneous impress
sion. The main objective of the
appeal is to void the Public
Utilities Commission rate order.
OF course, the brief points out to
the court the fact that the law
of the District of Columbia re-
quires taxicabs to operate on the
taximeter basis. Since the courts
of this city already have ruled
that the "taximeter is the only
fair system of cab operation, "
and "that no nondiscriminatory
system Of zones can be devised, I"
and also "that the zone rate is
only possible through the ex-
ploitation of the rental drivers, !"
I feel that there is no reason for
the court to refuse to grant us
the Injunction.
Of secondary Importance is the
one additional request we make.
It is that the court order the
Public Utilities Commission to
prescribe fair rate. We will be
satisfied if the court only voids
Public Utilities order No. 1401.
That will allow free and un-
restricted competition. Those who
wish to work for nothing can
then do so, while those who want
to charge for their service and
labor will retain their ancient
rights and privileges of so doing.
I am inclined to think it will
be better for all concerned if the
order is voided and the Public
Utilities Commission restrained
from setting any rates in the
future, since its recent attempt
at rate-making indicates it would,
if given the opportunity, only try
to regulate cab rates in a way
that would aid the local car and
bus monopoly.

tectiVe Union.

YOUR CONSTITUTION
(continued from Page -


death in the struggle to establish their right to
press their thoughts and opinions in relation to
matters that affected their lives They claimed
the right to cry out against injustice and to at
tempt to improve their own condition and that OF
humanity generally by an interchange of thoughts.
You and I enjoy the right of expressing our
thoughts as to our public servants our form of gov
ernment and all other subjects, by virtue OF the
first amendment of the Constitution of the United
States
That this right is abused cannot be questioned.
That persons from alien lands desirOus of Destroy
ing the very foundations of free government and
substituting brutal tyranny have abused this right
is apparent every day.
In the lands from which they come, the exercise
of free speech in criticism of the government
would be followed by imprisonment in dungeon
or the facing of firing squad.
They use the very right of free speech to destroy
free speech and reduce the human being to the
status of chattel of the ruling coterie.
This is trying to the patience and oftentimes re-
suits in disorders, but this abuse of great right
does not constitute any valid argument for its
abrogatiOn
The first amendment also commands that NO
LAW SHALL BE ENACTED ABRIDGING THE
RIGHT OF A FREE PRESS.
This great right which, in many respects is the
safeguard of all other human rights, is the least
understood.
Most people believe that the guarantee of free
dom of the press refers to right assured to news
paper owners. Such belief is totally erroneous
1t is right belonging to each and every Ameri-
can citizen to express in writing or printing his
views and opinions on any matter, subject to be-
ing responsible for any injury thereby done
to others.
1t is the companion right to that of freedom of
speech.
Newspaper owners exercise the right more
frequently than other citizens and from this fact
the misconception has arisen
Because of this provision of the Constitution,
each and every one of you enjoys the right to have
printed and distributed your views as to govern
mental, political, religious or any other questions.
No authority in the United States has the legal
power to prevent your use of that right.
A FREE PRESS IS THE SPECTRE WHICH
HAUNTS THE SLEEPING AND WAKING
HOURS OF EVERY DICTATOR, AND FOR
THAT REASON DOES NOT EXIST IN ANY
NATION WHERE POLITICIANS HAVE THE
POWER TO DESTROY IT.

 Strike Agreement

SEATTLE, March 23.-The first break" in the coast-wide halibut fishermen's strike came today with the announcement that 32 British Columbia fishing boats were leaving for fishing grounds in the face of an agreement to stand with Wash in2ton and Alaska halibuters in their demand for minimum wage scale.
 The fear was expressed here, fol- lowing this announcement, that the halibut market of this year might be taken by the Canadians.
 The Canadians action came after Associated Press dispatches from Washington, D. O., had indicated that the fishermen's representa- tives were not meeting with suc- cess in their request for a Recon struction Finance Corporation loan with which to freeze portions of their catches.

RESTS SPRING; SNOW
 MARK BROKEN
New All Tim e 24-Hour March Fall Recorded
 Here=Unusual

Winter came to grips with Spring last night and won, temporarily al least, as new all-time 24-hour March snowfall mark was recorded by United States Weather Observ- CT Howard Thompson.
 From 11:54 o'clock yesterday morning to noon today, 99 inches of snow had fallen, giving the city new record. The old record, using only figures of snow calculations kept since 1917, was 84 inches, re- corded in March of 1918.
 And today is the third official day of Spring!
 Fall Comes Late
 Last nights record-breaking fall is even more astounding" Wealth erman Thompson said today, when the fact is considered that today is March 23-late in the month"
 The large amount of snow also is the greatest to fall in one 24-hour period during the entire season here. The former seasonal record was 68 inches, noted on January g.
 The only spot in Alaska to feel a similar blanket of snow last night was in Fairbanks, where at least 10 inches of the white coverlet was laid. Precipitation was felt, however, along the whole of the Pacific Coast with San Francisco reporting .86 inches of rain.
 Wrangell Is Boundary
 The rain belts northernmost boundary was near Wrangel, the weather maps indicated.
 The only other abnormal condi- tion in Alaska noted this morning was the extremely low temperature reported from the Seward Penin- sula. The mercury dropped 34 de- grees in 24 hours to 8 degrees be- low zero there.
 More snow for Juneau is the official forecast for tonight and tomorrow. The prediction also states that the temperature here will be slightly lower tonight.
