HONOLULU FORMS
NAA(p BRANCH
BY JACK VINO

HONOLULU, Aug. 80 (ANP)-
With possibilities of attaining the
achievements of the parent organ
ization, the Honolulu Branch NAA-
CP got off to flying start at it's
initial meeting recently, and now it
is we'll focused toward that goal.
There was an attempt to block
the name, Honolulu Branch NAA-
CP, and operate under the guise of
a interracial name but an unani-
nous vote favored the original
plan, so be it known that the first
branch outside the continental
United States is the Honolulu
Branch NAACP. When old ac-
quaintances of the NAACP told in
strong terms that the organization
has always been interracial in
mechanism and reviewed it's glori-
Gus history, this gave the meeting
the necessary inspiration to rally
for the cause for which NAACP

claims which Ethiopia is filing
against Italy.
1t is understood that compila-
tions had been under way for some
time in Ethiopia, and that the an
nouncement that terms would be
handed to Italy shortly may have
hurried their completion. These
considerations are apart from any
territorial claims which Ethiopia
has already announced it is MAX
ing against Italy.

BYRNE5 TO HEAR
ETHI0pIA'S views ON
ITALIAN PEACE Terms
BY ERNEST E.. JOHNSON

WASHIN GTON, Aug. 80
(ANP)-The u. S. minister to
Ethiopia, John K. Caldwell, is re-
turning here prepared to lay before
Secy. of State James Byrnes the
views of the Ethiopian government
with regard to its participation in
the drafting of peace terms to Italy,
the Associated Negro Press learns.
This disclosure came .simultan-
eously with the report from Adds
Ababa that Emperor Halle Selassie
on Saturday had received the Amer
lean, British, French and Soviet
representatives in the capital and
had discussed with them his gov
ernment's ideas on the coming Lon
don conference of the Council of
Foreign Ministers.
The council was established dur
ing the big Three" talks at Pots
dam, and date not later than Sept.
| was set for its first meeting. The
probability exists also that Byrnes
may receive Caldwell in London
should travel difficulties make it
impossible for him to reach here
quickly.
The assumption here is that the
representatives of the other gov
ernments who talked with the en-
peror are making similar reports
to their foreign offices.
The Potsdam communique clear
ly left the door open for the Ethi-
opian government to sit in on the
drafting of the terms for Italy
when it said that "other members
(of the United Nations besides
France) will be invited to partici-
pate when matters directly concern
ing them are under discussion"
For a well-informed source it is
learned that Emperor Selassie may
have revealed to his visitors for the
first time the extent of reparations

The other interesting feature OF
the meeting was the election OF pro-

mission found the proper amount to be
SIS. O92, 273. The commission declared the
position Of Montana in seeking to CAPT.
talize on its books the prospective earn
ings Of power sites is in direct conflict
with the federal policy applicable to wa
ter power developments. That policy as
expressed in the Federal Power act is
that investment shall not include good
will, going value or prospective revenues.
Initiation Recognized by
Company Officers
The commission opinion declares: The
record shows that for many years the Of
icers of the company have recognized
the existence of the initiation approx
mately equal to the amounts found by
the commissions staff and that they
lave given consideration to writing it
off"
The company in a plant valuation state
ment as of December 81, 1914, showed
intangible plant" at 5 l,2s4,S41 out Of
a total plant valuation of S81, 22S, O18. OF
the intangible total, SAT, 100 1868 was clas-
sified as water rights, contracts, fran

rectly one-half of the properties Of the
Great Falls companies and afterward,
through his ownership Of 52.6 per cent
of the stock Of Montana Power, he con-
tinued his control Of the properties. The
commission quoted the company's state
ment that THE effect Of this transac-
ton was to give Mr.. Ryan and his asso-
ciates 51.8 per cent Csic) Of the common
stock Of the company, enabling them to
retain control of their water powers. "
The opinion points out that Ryan testi-
fled before the Interstate Commerce
commission that he did not make any
profit at all on the Thompson Falls
deal, thus demonstrating that the $4,000,
900 par value of stock issued to him was
not the measure of the actual legitimate
original cost.
A.. to the exchange of stock which the
commission held to a be a pooling of
interest, the commission said: 1T was
not a sale by which one party disposed
of an interest and another acquired that
interest. Just as clearly actual legiti-
mate cost cannot be increased by a
transaction which does not result in
parting with securities. Accordingly,
neither the par nor the market value of
securities issued to Ryan in 1913, nor
the so-called fair value of the properties
can be accepted as cost of the power
sites to Montana Power. Instead we
must look to the cost to Ryan, who COM
bined his interests with those who for
merly controlled Butte Electric, to ascer-
tain the correct investment therein
The commission found that the write
ups resulting from the 1918 exchanges
totaIed s29. 636 ,172.8O.
In summarizing the transactions with
RYAN. the commission said: In brief, be-
tween 1908 and 1918 Ryan and his asso-
ciates had purchased certain power sites
on the Missouri and Clarks Fork rivers
for which they had paid s3,467,l33.56
BY 1918, holding long-term contracts
with A-malgamated Copper subsidiarlei
of which he was head and the Milwaukee
railroad, of which he was director, thi
investment was transformed into $4,000,
900 par value Of preferred stock an'
s26. 500. 900 par value Of common stool
of Montana Power. In addition Ryan
had received from Montana Powers pre-
decessor $780, 600 in cash and 81 $4,000
in bonds. He had a majority stock con
troll of the company and was its presi
dent. His actual investments totallinI
less than 50, SOC, 600 were reflected on tn
company's books at $33, 600. OOO."
Cost of Lands Is Issue
The company claimed a substantial
part of the write-ups represented cos
Of power sites on the Missouri and othe
rivers in Montana. AS to the origina
cost Of other items of property there wa
substantial agreement between the com
pany and the commissions staff. Tn
company commended its land and Ian

fact that there was no change OF owner
ship. no change of control, no change in
management, no change in officers, no
change in assets and no change in oper-
ations, we conclude that the Montana
Power company was merely a continual
ton of the same business under a new
name" and accordingly held that in
crease in plant was "a purely fictitious
and paper increment" The commission
found that three prior reorganizations
Of the same general natural resulted in
initiating the plant accounts by $2,6OO,-
600. which initiation was also carried
through the 1912 reorganization.
1913 Transactions
The 1913 transactions revolve around
exchanges Of securities by the newly Gre
ated the Montana Power company and
the late John d. Ryan of Montana and
a small group controlled by him. The
commission referred to these securities
and exchanges as a pooling Of interests
which did not result in an increase OF
the cost of the underlying properties.
Ryan was president Of Montana Power
at the time of the exchanges. He owned
so per cent oil the stock Of Great Falls
Water Power and Townsite company
which through a 100 per cent owned sub
sidiary. Great Falls Power company,
owned a hydro development and GER
tain owe sites on the Missouri river
in the vicinity Of Great Falls, Montana.
Montana Power company owned the 9TH
er so per cent, its predecessor, Butte
Electric, having acquired it from Ryan
in 1909 for a consideration consisting
of cash. bonds and stock in the aggre-
gate amount Of So 100000. Ryan, in turn
had acquired the entire stock in 1905
from the railroad magnate, James j
Hill. for a cost of approximately one anc
one-half million dollars.
In 1918, Ryan exchanged the remain
ing one-haH of common stock in Grea.
