BRITISH HURL Def
TO NAVAL POWERS 5

in excess of treaty limits
A virtually identical note Was
sent to Japan.
The United Press is able to re-
veal that the memorandum to
washington was dated May 6. It's
contents, hitherto secret, expressed
Britains preference rather than
invoking the so-called escalator
clause of the 1880 London naval
limitations treaty.
The direct move for a bigger,
mere mobile and more powerful
British navy was indicated to be
the result Of Italy's aggresslyeneSs.
The British memorandum cited
flatly as the reason for its destroy
er increase the fact that powers,
not bound by the London treaty
have laid down more than 200
submarines since 1890 Italy was
not bound by the London pact,
which was signed by the United
States, Great Britain and Japan.

Two phases of the Impe-

being considered by govern
mental officials in Wash

contract to obtain 100000 for ru-
raj electrification and the applica-
ton for power drop specifications
along the All American canal.
The rewriting OF the district
contract with the Rural Electrifi-
cation Administration relative to
the loan was made necessary be-
cause of several objections to the
present form of the contract, ac-
cording to a letter from Phil D.
Swing, who is representing the
district in Washington, D. c.
Electrification of rural areas in
Imperial Valley is a part of the
general power development pro-
gram OF the district The loan
is sought to finance the necessary
installation and construction costs
The districts power drop appli-
cation is held up pending reports
rom the reclamation service on
canal costs and also upon the
disposition of all injunctions and
restraining orders brought against
the district power development
program, Swing said further.
Legal aspects of the district pro-
gram, he continued, are being sub
jected to inspection in Washing
ton and further delays may be
experienced until final estimates
to be received from the Denver
office of the reclamation service.
In conclusion, Swing said, def
mite progress is being made on
the bankruptcy and three per cent
bond acts now before congress.
The bankruptcy act was passed by
the senate 1t is expected the
house soon will take action upon
both measures.

WASHINGTON, May Is.
(UP) : The supreme court
today struck down the Cuff
fey coal control act includ-
ing the price-fiXing method,
the Is per cent Guffey tax and the
labor provisions of the law.
The full scope of the opinion,
decided by a vote of to 3 with
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hugh
es coneurring in a separate OPT
Mon, was sweeping.
Its immediate effect on present
and contemplated New Deal legis-
lation was not fully clear.
Called Penalty Tax
The decision, by Justice George
Sutherland, held that there was
no question that the Guffey tax
was a penalty tax under previous
rulings Of the court.
It held that the labor provi-
sions were really disposed of ad-
versely by Our decision in the
Schechter case"
The only preceptable difference
between that case and this is that
in the Schechter case, the federal
power was asserted with respect
to commodities which had come
to rest after their interstate trans
portation; while here, the case
deals with commodities at rest be-
lore interstate commerce has be-
gun. The difference is without
significance.

es when Interstate commercial in

WASHINGTON, May 18.
(UP) = Citing the supreme
courts NRA and AAA deci-
sions as precedents, the Dis
trict of Columbia court Of
appeal today held use of relief
funds for the resettlement admin
istration unconstitutional
While the court granted the
right of congress to appropriate
funds for relief Of unemployment
it restricted the use to which such
funds might be put.
Although the court denounced
the whole $4,000 100000 work re-
lief appropriation of last year, lie.
gal authorities agreed that it was
not ruling on the whole re-em :
ployment act because its whole
discussion in the case applied on
ly to the rural resettlement suit.
The court held that President
RCosevelt's ALLEGATION of relief
funds to Rexford c. Tugwell's re-
settlement administration was an
improper delegation by congress
of legislative power and that ii
invaded the rights Of the states.
The courts decision was render
ed in an injunction action brought
by Franklin Township, Somerset
county, N. j.. against proposed
resettlement project in that To-
cality.
The court cited two vital objec-
tions to the constitutionality OF
