Ontario Family Mourns Dog
Lost in Capital on Visit

Lost dogs in Washington ordinarily
get their publicity in the 'lost and
found" columns, primarily because
they disappear in such large numbers
and secondly because not all lost dogs
are l3-year-old unpedigreed, home
loving natives of Ontario, Canada.
But according to a letter received
by The Star from his mistress in
Woodstock, Ontario, "Chummie" is
such q ikable old fellow that she
wouldn't trade him for "all of beauti-
full Washington"
The following letter tells its own
story:

Joint Committee to Discuss
Future Trade With
Island.
By the Associated Press.

~ tiie ASSoCidtcO HTeSS.
A committee of experts on Monday
will begin study Of future Philippine.
American trade in preparation for
ending existing preferential relations.
The group, as announced by the
State Department yesterday comprises
six. Americans designated by President
Roosevelt and six Philippine repre-
sentatives named by Commonwealth
President Manuel L. Quezon.
1t begins work, the announcement
said, under direction of Francis B.
6ayre, Assistant Secretary of State.
A proposal by Quezon that the In
dependence promised by Congress be
advanced from 1946 to either next
year or 1899 is to figure in the study
by the committee, which is to recon-
mend program for the adjustment
of Philippine national economy with
separation from the United States in
view.
Proposes Trade Agreement.
Quezon has proposed that a trade
agreement with an independent Phil
ippine government be substituted for
pendence act. This provides quotas
Tor Philippine sugar, coconut oil and
cordage in the interim prior to DO
ltical freedom
The independence act provides that
beginning in 1910, the commonwealth
shall impose an export tax of per
cent of the prevailing United States
duty on all Philippine products shipped
to this country. The proceeds are to
be retained by the commonwealth
treasury.
The export tax is to be increased
by per cent each year until, by 1e46,
1t will amount to Is per cent of the
prevailing American duty. After the
Islands achieve complete independence
all Philippine goods will be subject
to the full United States duty.
The United States Tariff Commits
sion has reported that loss of the
preferential treatment that their
goods now enjoy will "play dom
inant part in altering the economy
Of the Philippines
Unless adjustments in trade rela-
tions are made, the report said, the
Philippine sugar industry will be seri-
ously affected and the islands other
major export industries may meet diff
ficulties.

"Your police admit that there Is a

Neill went through his pockets.
His money had not been touched,
but a glance in the other side Of his
wallet told him his papers had
been ransacked. So Tanning knew
now that he was a treasury de-
partment agent. Only one thing
had been taken: a photograph OF
Janet.
When he thought of Janet, he
turned sick with anxiety. What
had happened to her? He ran to
the phone and called up the smart
dress shop on Charles street where
she worked. A woman's voice, re-
fined and acidulous, said:
