New Parallel Steps
With Britain, France
Prepared by U. 5.
Action Planned to Guard
Interests Guaranteed
By Chinese Treaties
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Conversations are being carried
on, with the approval Of the State
Department, between American Dip
lomatic and naval officers and their
British and French colleagues for
eventual parallel action in Shanghai
and other Chinese cities where all
three countries have treaty rights
If Japan tries to repeat there her
Tentsin tactics.
Secretary of State Hull has warned
the Japanese Ambassador here that
this Government will brook no in
reference by Japanese soldiers with
American rights and interests in
cities where certain privileges are
guaranteed to American nationals
by treaties signed with China.
Assurances were given by Toxic
that there need be no fear Of any
interference with legitimate Amer
ican interests. In T1entsin the
American marines and the Ameri-
can residents have received so far
the most courteous treatment from
Japanese military authorities. But
outside of the detachment Of ma
rines which is maintained there to
keep open communications with
Peiping, the United States has no
concession or any specific treaty
rights.
The situation is different IN
Shanghai, where American residents
participate in the administration Of
the foreign settlement and where a
section of the bund is policed by
Americans.
The japanese government has
been warned that this policing will
continue whether Japanese Army
leaders like it or not. In the last
week there have been indications
that the Japanese Army command
might try to take control over the
bund and the other foreign settle
ments because they want to assert
their rights OF complete control over
every section of China which has
fallen into the hands of the jap
anese Army 1t is feared that as
indirect retaliation for the abroga-
ton of the trade agreement be-
tween the United States and ia
pan the Japanese military may now
endeavor to cause more serious trou-
bles than in the past to the Ameri-
can residents of Shanghai and other
treaty cities.
The administration is determined
to stick to its guns as far as the
rights of the United States and
China are concerned Admiral Hart,
the new commander of the Asiatic
feet, before leaving Washington.
received full instructions to that
effect. He will act in case of need
independently of British and French
naval authorities, but is allowed to
consult those commanders for par
allel action wherever needed.
This means that the United States
will remain impassive in the event
the Japanese decide to black jack
either the British and the French.
But as soon as our interests are
interfered with as a result of the
persecution of the other two pow
ers the American authorities will
dovetail their activities with those
of the other western democracies.

amount of commodities ship
ped. Freight rates in the
United States do not keep our
people from eating food, wear
ing clothes, building homes,
or doing anything else they
want to do"
"The argument for sharply
reducing freight rates is nat
urally based on the premise
that current rates are too
high, and have an adverse eff
feet on consumption. The
truth of the matter is that
freight rates are usually one
of the smallest items in the
selling cost of any product.
The freight cost, for instance,
on a fine apple orchard from
Oregon, moved three thou
sand miles across the contin-
ent to the New York market,
is just a little more than one
half cent. And the rail freight
on all the lumber in a $4,000
house will not average more
than $3.50.
what this all adds up to is
that the American railroads,
under private ownership, give
the nation the finest transpor-
tation service in the world, at
a very reasonable cost. That
is fact, as against theories"

WATER TOWER AT DENTON
Pittsburgh Concern Gets Contract
For New Water Tank

The commissioners of Denton,
Nd, have awarded a contract to in
stall new water tank in that
town to the Pittsburgh-Des Moines
Steel Company of Pittsburgh, on
their bid, the lowest of the four re-
ceived, of S10,436. The tower will
be erected back of the present wat
er tower, which is inadequate. The
new water tower and 100,000-gal-
Ion storage tank will double the ca
pacity of the present water sys-
tenn. The tank will be on a 100
foot tower, thus increasing the
water pressure. A representative
of the company said work on the
new system would begin immed-
lately, according to Walter Spark
lin, clerk to the board of town COM
missioners.

Romance of NylOn

With the big industrial plant
of the duPonts going up at
Seaford for the manufacture
of Nylon hosiery, it is inter-
esting to know how Nylon, the
new textile fibre was discov-
cred. Developed and adapt
ed to the use Of mankind is a
story which reads like a ro-
nance, says the Journal
Every Evening. According
to a statement attributed to
chemists of the DUPONT Com
pany, nylon grew from explor-
alton Of a little known chem
ical kingdom in which mole
cules only ten-millionths of an
inch long were classified as
"giants," although too small
to be seen. Study of these
infinitesimal molecules, their
properties and commercial
possibilities brought results
which are now matters Of
common knowledge, the devel-
opment Of a fiber suitable for
general textile purposes, one
that is flexible and has excep-
tionally durable qualities
"This was not an easy task.
Much Of the work dealt with
the invisible. Scientific cur
iosity was aroused. What at
first was little more than a
suspicion eventually became a
reality. Something new had
been found which had promis-
ing possibilities. 1t was a
long road, but as a result Of
diligent application the goal
was finally reached. The in
tensive application to the
work Of developing nylon i'll
ustrates the extremes to
the chemical industry
goes in its unending effort to
find new and better ways of
the needs Of man
kind"

Fact VS.. Theory on Railroads


1t is often argued that a re-
duction in railroad freight
rates to prewar level, would
increase the volume of busi-
ness handled by the lines.
Leaving aside the very vital
question of how the railroads
would meet 1889 payrolls, op-
Grating costs and taxes with
1913 revenues, there is a fun
damental fallacy in that argu-
ment, says the Kent News,
Chestertown, Md.
Freight rates are entirely
unlike passenger fares. A
sharp reduction in fares will
often increase the number rid
ing the trains, and result in a
temporary increase in passen-
ger revenues. But, as an
authority on transportation
has observed, Nobody ships
freight just to give it a ride.
Freight moves only because
there is someone, somewhere,
to use or consume it. Unless
the freight rate is so large a
part of the price paid by the
final consumer as actually to
limit his use of the commod-
ity, freight rates have mighty
little to do with the total
