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

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. There must be applications
for rights, checking of figures, care

Ohio legislators.
Woman Leader la Caller,
One caller was Mrs. Abbe Scott
Baker, political chairman of the

Tennessee suffrage situation.
Assuring Mrs. Batter ne was ready
to go to any reasonable length to

pointed cut that unless the Tennessee

over the result of the balloting; in
some states.
A constitutional question has been
raised in Tennessee against ratifica

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

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.

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.
