Bernard M. Baruch. Wall Stloet
financier and wartime aide to Wood
row Wilson, urged the Senate For
eign Relations Committee today to
extend the cash and carry" prin-
ciple to all American trade with bel
ligcrent nations and to prohibit all
financial aid to nations at war.
Appearing as the second witness
in hearings on some half dozen
proposals to amend the Neutrality
Act. Mr.. Baruch at the same time
reminded the committee that such
economic structures almost as
suredly would carry reciprocal dis
advantages in the treatment accord
ed us by nations affected by our
policies.
Optimistically, the chairman of
the War Industries Board of 1918-19
challenged the opinion that we must
necessarily become involved in the
next European conflict, but in the
same breath he warned that We
must depend on ourselves alone for
an adequate defense of North Amer
lea.
Imply RetaliatiOns.
In developing his reminder that
the proposed trade restrictions imply
retaliation by affected nations, Mr..
Baruch told the committee:
The bearing of unnecessarily
1,o rocfricti0rc tho
ciprocal trade treaties is also plain.
If we are to avoid the commerce
destroying, bilateral, barter system
and to attempt to break down trade
barriers and restore the flow of free
private commerce by reciprocal
agreements we should also avoid all
possible new barriers to trade, such
as any proposal to restrict all ex-
ports within unnecessarily narrow
and, to some nations. impossible
limits.
There are many more nations
now in the area of possible new
world conflict than there we're in
1914. That war grew partly out of a
kind of economic war But it is as
nothing compared with the eco
nomic war that has been going on
throughout the world with increas-
ing intensity for many years It
reaches now to the uttermost parts
of the earth.
Commerce Being Killed.
The commerce of the world. upon
which rests both the peace and
prosperity of the world. is dying.
1t is being killed by increasing re-
strictions of barter. tariffs. quotas
and self -containment. With one
hand, through Mr.. Secretary Hull's
efforts, we are attempting to restore
it. With the other, through some
of the extremist proposals and atti-
tudes on this legislation. we threaten
to restrict it further. Such course
I regard as unwise.
While agree with the cash-and-
carry plan, these thoughts lead me
to raise question on the sanctions
in these bills. They make shipment
or transportation to belligerents a
felony. What we are really trying
to say is that We are ready to
abandon our old rights as neutrals
under international law: But in
order to abandon them is it neces-
sary also to abandon our commerce?
Under the peace act, it would
be crime to transport to a bellig-
erent under the American flag even
in a case where there is no risk at

Albania Feverish

TIRANA. April (P).-An Italian
cruiser and two destroyers arrived
at Durazzo. Albania. this morning
as Albania ferverishly discussed re-
ports of an imminent Italian occu-
patton.
Many Albanian reservists have
been mobilized. Twenty truckloads
of arms were sent yesterday to Va
Iona. the southern port of Albania.
There was some feeling in diplo-
matte circles that the Albanian
government might try to resist any
landing of Italians.
May Find Occupation Formula.
There was distinct possibility,
however, that the government might,
on the other hand, find formula
under which Italian occupation
would be accepted.
Crowds of Albanians gathered out
side the foreign ministry. seeking
some inkling of what was going on.
People in the streets freely ex-
pressed their desire to resist any
military occupation.
Plane service from Tirana to Italy
was Cancelled Practically all Ital-
jans in Albania had returned to
Italy
Negotiations between Albania and
Italy. ostensibly toward strength
ening of the 1927 defensive alliance
between the two countries. have
been going on for several days.
Sees Cabinet Five Hours.
King Zog, after the birth of an
heir to the throne yesterday, con-
ferred nearly five hours with his
cabinet. He also received the Ital-
ian minister, Francesca Jacomoni,
in a private audience that lasted two
hours this morning Jacomoni also
attended yesterdays meeting of the
Albanian cabinet. 1t was earlier re-
ported that Jacomoni had returned
to Rome.
The tense situation cast gloom
over the national celebrations of the
birth of crown prince to Zog and
Queen Geraldine
Foreign legations were in constant
consultation among themselves. The
consensus among foreign diplomats
was that the situation was ex-
tremely grave.

The House. with only 50 Of its
membership of 432 on the floor, be-
gan at 1915 pm. to debate the 1910
District appropriation blll-a Dlll
which virtually eliminates the spec
ter of increased taxation for ano her
year
Not one member of the District
Legislative Committee was on the
floor when debate-llmited by a!ree-
ment to one hour-started.
In spite of the fact that sulpris-
ing number of new municipal prol-
ects are initiated or provided ior IN
the bill. there appeared no llkeli-
hood of a tax increase.
Another outstanding feature of
the bill is that it makes provision
for reorganizat ton and Consolida-
ton of several municipal agencies
to effect greater economies in serv.
ice.
Appropriations recommended to
operate the municipal government
July total SAC 902,707 This figure
represents slash Of S775.073 under
the amount approved by the Budget
Bureau and is 81 463 707 less than
appropriated for the current fiscal
year
No change was made in the Fed
eral lump p-sum payment toward mu-
nicipal expenses. 1t was left at
IS 100000 the amount that has pre-
vailed for number of years.
Debate Will Start.
Debate on the bill was scheduled
to start shortly after it was reported.
House leaders hope to have ii passed
and sent to the Senate before night
fall.
A subcommittee Of the District
Legislat tive Committee of the House
is now struggling with new tax
bill to keep the District out of the
red. Chairman Collins of the APP
preparations Subcommittee which
framed the 1910 supply bill. said the
legislation probably would not be
needed for the coming fiscal year
largely because of reductions made
in the budget estimates.
On the basis of the S46 ,902 TOT ap-
preparation recommendation Mr..
Collins explained the budget deficit
at the close of the coming fiscal
year would amount to S3,48425
The major portion of this antici-
pated shortage he pointed out. can
be prevented by continuing the real
and personal property tax at the
present Sl.75 rate. Beginning July /.
the rate under existing law. Will
drop to $50. A continuation of the
SITS rate. it is estimated. will pro-
duce about s3.2O00OO in revenue.
Way Seen to Avoid Deficit.
Mr.. Collins said that with a 81 Is
real estate tax rate in the coming
fiscal year. the prospective deficit
would be reduced to S284.252. And
this amount. he believes, can be
made up by nickels from the 1900
additional automobiles parking
meters the Commissioners plan to
install. together with additional rev.
enue from business licenses which
he expects to be collected as result
of more careful. check to be made
of business establishments by in
spectors of the weights, measures
and markets department.
The tax program under considera-
tion by the subcommittee of the Dis
trict Legislative Committee, how
ever. is intended to prevent budget
deficits for the next seven years.
Since the normal operating ex-
penses of the District are increasing
at the rate of about s1.000.000 a year.
District officials point out increased
taxation is inevitable in another
year unless Congress increases the
Federal payment toward municipal
expenses.

DALLAS. Jan. 3-Distinct posi-
bility of Texas staging rival post
season football classics next year
clouded the Nations already jum-
blcd bowl" scene today.
Immediately after yesterdays Cot
ton Bowl game, which drew some
10000 fans, 1t became known that
j. Curtis SANFORD, director general
of the Cotton Bowl Athletic Asso-
citation, had split with his board of
directors over questions of policy.
Dan d. Rogers. Dallas banker,
member Of Texas Christian Uniyer-
sity's Board Of Trustees and presi-
dent of the Cotton Bowl Associa-
ton, disclosed Sanford had with
drawn his aff1liation with the asso-
citation 10 days ago.
Plans Rival Bowl Fray.
However" said Rogers, you can
definitely say that the associations S
board, appointed by representatives
of the Southwest Conference schools,
will work toward holding a post
season game for Texas next year.
Mr.. Sanford has a lease on the
Cotton Bowl Stadium that runs two
more years, but there are other
stadiums.
Sanford commented:

II will definitely hold another
Cotton Bowl game next year-and
for years to come"
Rogers disclosed Sanford holds
the charter on the Cotton Bowl
Association and has copyrighted the
name.
Sources directly in contact with
the situation said Sanford had been
retained as director general at q
salary of $4,000, but continued to
hold the charter. Ten days ago, it
was learned, he advised the board
he wished to revert to his former
percentage status.
He staged the 1887 and 1888 Cot
ton Bowl games as an individual.
Conference Stand In Doubt.
Sanford admitted there has been
a misunderstanding with one or two
individuals, but I certainly have
had no trouble with the Southwest
Conference"
The conference recently went on
record as favoring permanent align
ment with the Cotton Bowl. What
effect the new development would
have on that decision was not
known.
Rogers, however, said certain con-
ference officials had spoken favor

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. g.
Little Davey O'Brien, the all-Amer-
lea mite Of quarterback, has prov
en- to the satisfaction of the football
world that he is one of the greatest
passers of all time.
Leading the Horned Frogs of
Texas Christian to IS to 7 triumph
over Carnegie Tech yesterday in the
fifth Sugar Bowl game, the 1872
pound aerial artist threw a total of
% passes, completing II of them for
225 yards.
Not one of his toSses was inter-
cepted. The Christians gained a
total Of 367 yards to 1873 <or Tech
and made II first downs to 10 for
the Skibos.
Tech in Lead at Half.
The first period was scoreless, but
in the next quarter T. c. U. started
from its 48 and, on passes and nice
runs by Johnny Hall and Connie
Sparks, worked to the 1-yard line,
and Sparks drove over for the score.
O'Brien missed the kick from place
ment. A few minutes later Muha
gathered in Moroz' 50-yard pass to
tie the score. Muha's placement was
good for the extra point and the
half ended with Tech leading, 7-6.
The Texans threatened often in
the third, finally starting from the
T. c. U. 20 to march for a touch
down. O'Brien tossed one to Earl
Clark on the T. c. U. Al and he
ran to the Tech A. A few plays
later Durwood Horner took an aerial
on the 80 and raced for a score.
Again OBriens placement try for
the extra point failed. His toe was
more accurate in the fourth. how
ever, as he booted a field goal from
the 10 for points.
O'Brien Best, Kerns Admits.
I'VE were beaten by great team" :"
said Skipper Bill Kern of Carnegie
Tech after the game. That T. G. U.
team is greater than any we had
previously met and undoubtedly is
the finest college eleven of this and
many other seasons.
"As for O'Brien, he is the finest
passer I have ever seen and he GER
tainly proved that he has not been
overrated."
1t was O'Brien's final game for
Texas Christian and more than
$4,000 persons saw him end his COL
lege football career in a blaze of
glory.
