Would Say
BY A. w. CONAWAY

My first attempt at mathematics
in this column did not get by so well.
Last week in computing the cost of
a proposed super-highway to the golf,
/ erred in stating that if the dream
road would cost 100000 per mile
the total would be s2O,OOO,OOO. That
figure would have served OK. in the
days before the New Deal, but now
a friend of mine, who has been a
PWA inspector, informs me it should
be $2OO,OOO,OOO.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

and the British government, admitting
that technical violation had been
committed, said that Norway had
made no thorough examination of the
"Altmark," belligerent ship in neu-
trail waters; furthermore, the examin-
alton had not revealed the fact that
English prisoners were aboard.
To this Norway's foreign minister,
Halvdan Koht, replied in speech
before the parliament at Oslo that
since the "Altmark" was a estate
vessel" there was no neutral obliga-
ton to make a search aboard the
boat; the fact that prisoners were
aboard made no difference. Accord
ing to international law, the "Alt-
mark" should and would have been
searched, had it touched at a Nor
wegian port-which it did not do
CONTRARY to first reports which said
that the boat had called at Bergen)
also, if the prisoners had actually
set foot on Norwegian land terri
tory, they would, under international
law, have been interned.- But since
the German boat in its capacity of
naval supply and prison ship had
the right to sail through neutral
waters; since it called at no Nor
wegian port, and since the prisoners
did not go ashore, Norway had moth
ing to do with the matter.
It is likely that the controversy
will be brought before the>League of
Nations or some other international
tribunal.

agreed, that the status quo Of the
Netherlands Indies should be MAIN
tanned in the interests of peace,
Japanese Ambassador Kensuke Hor-

The Ambassador dismissed ques-
tions of reporters about the posi-
bility of Japan occupying the Dutch
Colonial Empire in the South Pacific
to protect" it if Holland should
become engulfed in the European
war by saying that Japanese Foreign
Minister Arita had made Japan s
policy clear last Monday.
The Arita statement expressed
concern for the future of the islands
II the Netherlands should be in
vaded, but Mr.. Horinouchi insisted
that it contained no implication that
Japan might forcibly intervene to
preserve her interests.
He said he saw no divergence be-
tween Japanese policy and that ex-
pressed in statement issued
Wednesday night by Secretary Hull,
declaring that any Intervention in
the affairs of the Netherlands Indies
or alteration Of their status quo
would prejudice peace in the entire
Pacific area.
The Ambassador added that his
government had been interested in
the Netherlands official attitude
about possible effects of the war on
the islands and was satisfied by
statements yesterday that no out
side protection would be asked or
accepted for them.

Two Big Antitrust
Suits Are Settled
By Consent
Typewriter and Poper
Box DEGREES to Be
Submitted to Cour.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Tederal
prosecutors announced settlement
by consent today Of two Of the
Governments major antitrust suits,
one accusing typewriter manufac-
turers and the other paper box
makers Of having fixed prices and
restrained trade.
Six of the country's biggest type
writer manufacturers on one hand
and the National Container Associ-
alton and 26 Of its corporate mem
bers on the other hand were in
dicted several months ago In the
two cases. Federal officials said
consent DEGREES would be submitted
to Federal Judge Henry w. God
dard in both cases next Tuesday.
Typewriter companies involved
are Underwood -Elliott-F Fisher OF
Delaware and New Jersey, the Royal
Typewriter of New York, Reming-
on-Rand, Inc, of Delaware, and
L. S. Smith and Corona Type
writer's, Inc, of Syracuse, N. Y, and
New Jersey. They were said to
manufacture from 95 to 90 per cent
OF the typewriters sold in this
country.
Assistant United States Attorney
General Barkeley Henderson said
that, under the terms of the de-
cree. the defendants would be pro-
hibited from agreeing among them
selves or with others on prices,
trade-in allowances and discounts
in typewriter sales.
The decree also would outlaw the
destruction of used typewriters
manufactured by competitors to re-
move them from the market and
the buying up Of competitors used
products to maintain prices. Mergers
and changes in discount prices
would be barred except by court
action or other Federal interven-
ton.
Defendants in the container suit
had been accused of price fixing
the production curtailment through
trade associations in the $500 900 900
corrugated and fiber board con-
tainer field.
Under the decree, defendants
would refrain from restricting pro-
duction and controlling prices and
would eliminate certain practices
the Government contended went
beyond legitimate activities of trade
associations.
Federal officials said that for the
first time in the history of the
| Sherman Antitrust Act interested
persons would be given opportunity
in Federal Court to express their
views on the consent provisions.
