Government should increase the

burdened with higher taxes to meet

Lee urged the campaign for larger

tions by Commissioner Melvin G. Hazen
as to how the District could meet de-
mands for public improvements with
out imposing additional taxes which
this year will extract about SIS, 900 900

I'VE should continue TO fight for
a larger Federal payment" Lee said.
1T is unfair for the United States to
expect the District to pay for all the
services it receives without increasing
its share Of expenses"
Lee was among dozen civic lead
ers who appeared before the Commits
sioners at the initial hearing, bearing
requests for variety of improvements,
ranging from new bridges to additional
recreational facilities. Altogether 40
witnesses are scheduled to be heard
before the Commissioners bring the

The report, to be issued by Agricul-

Should the estimated production
point to extremely heavy yields, farm

"Such disgraceful phenomenon
as piracy of the high seas-organized
not in ages past by individual GRIM
inals, gangs or mutineers, but by the
government of European state-was
bound to come to the worlds atten-
ton"
Then he said this piracy had come
from Submarines whose names have
been painted, over, whose national
Gag was concealed, whose crews wore
disguised uniforns'
He shouted:
only those states can avoid partici-
pating in this conference which con-
slider themselves guaranteed against
piracy-either because they organize
it themselves or because of their ex-
treme intimacy with the pirates.
only such states are interested in
torpedoing this conference"
Italy and her Nazi ally, Germany
have boycotted the conference.
They would not come to the sessions
at nearby Nyon because the Soviet
Union accused Italy, in two direct
protests, of torpedoing and sinking Two
Soviet ships.
Litvinoff left no doubt as to his
meaning
Every one knows" he cried. "the
name of the state which is pursuing
this (piraticaD object.
'The name is on every ones lips.
Those states which have suffered
or may suffer cannot be denied the
right of pronouncing that name"
He did not, however, quite say
~Italy."
Plan Laid Before Powers.
Litvinof spoke just a little while
after France and Great Britain
through French Foreign Minister Yvor
Delbos, had called upon the conferee.
to join swiftly in an emergency mutua
assistance scheme to annihilate pirat,
submarines in automatic fashion OF
the Mediterranean high seas lanes.
Even earlier, the League of Ma
tions Council had arranged to air tn
Spanish governments accusation o
Italy as a submarine pirate at ses
sions next week.
Delbos told the delegates assemblies
10 seek means of Mediterranean
security.
1T is impossible to permit tn
present situation OF insecurity to con
tinue without the gravest Of perils."
In the same breath he said "w
regret" that Italy and Germany, "be
cause of reasons affecting them,
considered it necessary to boycott tn
conference.
Delbos spoke with the full authorit
of French and British government,
In complete agreement on a formul

He demanded rapid action" [
