Add to these arguments the further one that the stream producing power runs on forever, and does not have to be measured on the basis of certain exhaustion, as with a coal mine, and you have the element of supreme sta bility. And - then further, consider that more than half the population of the world lives in the countries bordering the Pacific and Indian oceans, a grand total of about 950, 000,000 persons, where there Is a swiftly expanding market, and that it is more economical to supply these markets from the Pacific seaboard than from the Atlantic or the gulf, ind you have what is conceded to be a combination of conditions that must work for the tremendous benefit of he west under the new water power regime. At the conferences held here, it was made clear by the government com mission that the law intends to pro tect the ultimate consumer from any excessive charges of costs. The pres ent terribly high rate of money must not -be taken as the basis for perma nent financing power projects. Also, the government intends, under the law, to prevent abnormal projects. The door is opened, but the power companies are invited, to enter care fully, and to act with due decorum within. It was also stated that probably six to nine months would be xequired to get these rules fully developed and for the companies to get their work started.

'After careful consideration. Chairman Benson concluded, -"the shipping board while still favorable to the general idea, decided that it would be better if the agreement was made between the Hamburg-Ameri can line and a private American com pany, rather than that the shipping board be a direct party to such a con tract, but at the same time be pre pared to assist the American end.

Demand for Apology Elicits Re sponse That Aggravates Of fender's Insult. LONDON, Aug. 16. Alexander M. Carlisle, prominent Belfast Irishman and a privy councillor, has been de barred from the privileges or th house of lords by a resolution adopted today. Action was requested by Earl Curzon. the foreign secretary, who declared that Mr. Carlisle's letter in reply to a demand sent him for an apology for an "affront" to the house "aggravated rather than diminished his recent insult. Alexander M. Carlisle, standing be hind the rail at the steps to the throne when the house of lords passed the second reading Qf the Irish coercion bill August 9, protested "If you pass the bill you may kill England, not Ire lan d." No reply was made and he left. Earl Curzon later, acting on the re quest of the house of lords, sent demand lor an apology for "a serious affront to the dignity of the lord ships." To this Mr. Carlisle replied that if he had offended the king he was ready to apologize, but if it was regarded as an affront to the house of lords, "then the case is different.' provide ' for a few appearances in other cities. Between October 1 and the elec tion the slate will be left blank. The last front-porch date announced was September 25, and was expected that disposition of the nominee's time late in the campaign will be taken up later. Rari and New to Attend. Will H. Hays, national chairman. and Senator Harry New, head of the party s speaking bureau, will be prominent figures at tomorrow's meeting. Among others expected are Harry M. Daugherty, member of the executive committee: Senator Medill McCormlck of Illinois and Henry Wallace, publisher of western farm magazines. At the conference Senator Harding is expected to talk over his agricul tural speech particularly with Mr. Wallace. This address, to be deliv ered September 8 at the Minnesota state fair, is the only one so far arranged away from Marion. Today Senator Harding had a few callers and he devoted his time to correspondence and to the front-porch speech he will deliver Thursday to Ohio legislators. Woman Leader la Caller, One caller was Mrs. Abbe Scott Baker, political chairman of the woman's party, who talked over the Tennessee suffrage situation. Assuring Mrs. Batter ne was ready to go to any reasonable length to obtain- favorable action, the senator pointed cut that unless the Tennessee situation -vere settled before the elec tlon there might be a legal battle over the result of the balloting; in some states. A constitutional question has been raised in Tennessee against ratifica tion and should the legislature act favorably and a court attack on its action be made prior to election day the nominee suggested the result might be an election contest of seri ous proport'ons. ' Polish Comment Withheld. Senator Harding declined comment on the Polish situation, saying he had learned "no one but the president and the secretary of state" could in telligently discuss European affairs. because no one else knew the truth about them. Even as a member of the foreign relations committee," be said, "I found it was impossible to know anything about foreign affairs. But I . can see there is increasing diffi culty In attempting to manage the ffairs of the other side of the world. All I care to say is there would be very sweeping change of foreign policy if the republicans succeed." HARDING REPLIES TO HART keeps longer Washington Sees io Reason ": for Any Complication With France Stand by England. on LONDON. Aug. 16. Premier Lloyd George stated in- the house of com mons today that .the government had made it clear to General Baron Wrangel, anti-bolshevik ' leader ; in south Russia, that if he further at tacked the soviet forces he must do so on his own responsibility. beneral Wrangel since then had opened further operations, the pre mier added and the responsibility, consequently, was his own. then the riei-mit that will warrant expending money to determine vhat COMPLICATION NOT EXPECTED expediture shall be made in perma nent construction. This takes time. but when the machinery is in full swing once, rapid progress is assured. The next conference, other than tne frequent meetings of committees ot the power people with, officials, is scheduled for October 3. COMMONS WILL SPEAKER IS EMPOWERED TO SEND OUT CALL. Government Promises to Take No Action ' Relative to Russia Without Conference. Western Man Is Considered Secretary of Interior. for. LONDON. Ausr. 16. The house of commons tonight agreed to the mo tion of Andrew Bonar Law, govern ment leader, adjourning the house until October 19. but empowered the speaker to summon parliament earlier should public interest demand. This, and Mr. Bonar Law's declaration that should Russia's armistice terms to Poland be materially altered the gov ernment would not act without con suiting parliament, meets the . oppo sition's objections that the country should not be committed to any inter vention against Russia without con sent of parliament. Mr. Bonar Law confirmed that the armistice terms to Poland as an nounced by Russia were approved by Great Britain and Italy and said if they were sincerely adhered to. Great Britain would not interfere. Paragraphs in newspapers, consid ered by some to have been inspired, have led the public to expect some new declarations of policy toward Ire land by the premier or Mr. Bonar Law in lines of dominion home rule, but this expectation met with disap pointment. Mr. Lloyd George confined himself to repeating his offer that the gov ernment would discuss a settlement with any representatives of Irish opinion, not excluding the Sinn Fein ers, provided they accepted three stlp ulations that northern Ulsters six counties must be treated separately; that there must be no secession of any part ot Ireland from the United Kingdom and that the government could not agree to anything that would involve any detraction from the security of the British Isles or their safety In case of war. This guarded statement will prob ably be interpreted as an Invitation to continue outside discussion of do minion settlement, which has made such unexpected progress recently. American Recognition of Wrangel Still Thought Improbable. WASHINGTON. Aug. 16. Premier Lloyd George's announcement regard ing General Wrangel comes almost on the heels of France's recognition of and prom'se of material aid to the anti-bolshevik leader. iome diplomats here' were of the opinion that the situation was not quite as serious as it appeared. It was said thatlreat Britain had been aiding General Wrangel and that it was entirely possible that the Brlfsh government had decided to withdraw, that aid, because it did not desire any complications in the so viet-Polish armistice negotiations. There still was no indication today that the United States government was seriously considering recognition of General Wrangel. Consideration is being given, however, to plans for ex tension of support to Poland. Information reaching the state de partment direct from Poland was that the Polish government was preparing for a prolonged siege of Warsaw. A dispatch today from Helsingfors said that Finland and soviet Russia had concluded an armistice last Fri day night. The old frontier between Finland and Russia with certain minor exceptions, was agreed upon and Russia was not to have navigable access to the Gulf of Finland.

No other statement is needed to em phasize the significance of the event which declares for the earliest prac ticable use of the west's water power resources. - . Coal operators of the east are still restless. Their wages are high. Rail ways struggle night and day to get only a part of the coal needed to the big power plants of industry. Fac tories ln large number curtail and close because of the shortage of coal, not to speak of its price. Confident forecasts are made that the high wages of coal miners must continue. in tact, may be lurtner increased. A strike at a mine closed several fac tories, of vastly greater payroll. Nothing but labor will get the coal from the depths of the earth. , Strike Dangers Obviated. uontraai mis situation, as many great racrory operatives are today, with conditions wnere power comes from hydro-electric sources.
