commerce committee, authorizing what is perhaps the widest inquiry into ownership of business that has ever been made.
Rayburn’s committee will direct the inquiry, which will follow the lines of the railroad investigation of two years ago. The railroad report' was cited by Rayburn as the most comprehensive study ever made of ownership, developing that as many as 30 holding companies branched out from one central corporation.
Emphasizing the committee would proceed "with caution,” Rayburn said:
"I don’t know w hether the power companies have the public by .the throat. 1 don’t know about the telephone companies and others, but we want to know the facts about these new flnancial setup*, including holding companies."
CARTHAY DARK;
COMEDY LEAVES
Jan. 19.—Tired of fighting lawyers, police, and courts, the producers, management and cast of | ment of differences between thu ‘‘Lysistrata,’’ rollicking Greek I house and senate on the recon-
was named by Mr. Hoover to be chairman of the board.
TO ASSIST DAWES
It was learned authoritatively the president has decided tentatively upon Bernard Baruch, the New York financier, and Angus McLean, North Carolina banker and former governor, to be two ol the three remaining appointive directorships. Both are Democrats. The other place also is to b^ filled by a Democrat, but the selection of Dawes, a Chicagoan, is understood to have eliminated Edward N. Hurley, a former shipping board commissioner, also of Chicago, from consideration l'or the post.
Dawes’ appointment, announced by Mr. Hoover himself, came dramatically on the eve of the arms delegation's departure from New York on the President Harding. Dawes a few days ago announced he was retiring as ambassador to the court of St. James after the Geneva mission was ended, to go back to his Chicago bank.

The house, on motion of Rep. F. H. Laguardia, Repn., N. Y., adopted a resolution limiting loans under the bill to $100,000,000 maximum to each corporation or group of affiliated corporations.

Beginning with a trip north this week, Pres. R. B. von KleinSmld j has a speaking schedule that calls for flve addresses within the next 10 days.
He will convey the Southland’s greetings tonight to Dr. Herman F. Swartz on the completion of the latter’s flrst 10 years at the head of the Pacific School of Religion, in Berkeley. Tomorrow | evening he will speak at the Santa Barbara high school's commencement exercises on "America's Way Out.”

BERLIN. Jan. 19—(HP)—President Paul von Hindenburg today authorized automatic increases in German tariffs against goods from countries which are off the gold standard.
American businessmen in Berlin believed the new decree would benefit United States exports to Germany.
The decree, issued under the president's dictatorial |>owers, provided for increases against: Steamship lines, transportation 1. Goods produced cheaply in eumpanlcs, and department stores non-gold standard countries. Such

products will be subject to sliding “equalisation'' duties.
2. Goods from countries which have no trade treaties with Germany or which' levy higher tariffs on German goods than on goods from other nations. Such goods are subject to an immediate tariff increase.
Since German goods entering the United States are given equal treatment with merchandise originating from other countries, no increase In American duties on German exports is expected. It was pointed out that abolition of the gold standard in l>atin America, Scandinavian countries and in Great Britain had enaDled those nations to sell many industrial and agricultural commodities in Germany at prices which ai-e 30 per cent or more below the former “gold level” prices.
This situation was held to place American exports at a severe disadvantage in the German market, but it is expected that today's decree will restore the United States exports to equality.

Results of surveys conducted by his paper show that only 15 per cent of the people read editorials, but that this group is made up of teachers, preachers, lawyers, doctors, and the leaders in any community. The purpose of editorials ls to stimulate thought along certain lines on the part of the reader rather than to tell them what to do. A paper Is not fulfilling Its obligation to its readers lf It does not express itself on important policies aud public afTairs to help stimulate this interest.

Settlement Of Reparation Tangle Rests With Europe,
Uncle Sam Advises France
PARIS, Jan. 19—(UP)—Thc United States informally advised Franco today that responsibility for settlement of thc German war reparations tangle rests with Europe.
At the same time Premier Pierre Laval, declaring thc policy of his new cabinet in thc chamber of deputies, declared that France will permit reduction of ¥	■ — — - ■

ly in proportion to reduction of war debts which France owes Great Britain and thc United States.
The I’nited States reply was to suggestions made by Laval in a conversation with Ambassador Walter E. Edge last Saturday, when there were Indicatlous that postponement of the forthcoming Lausanne reparations conference would be sought.
The cardinal points of the United States policy were enumerated as follows:
1—The	United States considers each nation's debt must depend on the merits of the individual cases and the government will not rush into a collective re-settlement of all the war debts.
2—The	United States does not consider the debt problem pressing because no payments are due until December 15.
3 — Under the understanding reached by President Hoover and Premier Laval in Washington, any Initiative toward readjustment of debts must come from Europe.
The European nations have not yet formally approached Washington on the subject.
Despite the apparent coolness of Americans toward suggestions for extension of the debt holiday, it was learned that France and Britain are again close to agreement on a policy to be pursued toward an adjustment of the problem at the Lausanne conference, which may lead to a request for an extension.
The two main divergences of opinion are (1) the British desire for a six months extension and the French for a one-year extension; (2) the British desire to suspend all German payments and the French demand that the unconditional reparations continue on the ground that France reloan the money to Germany.
lyaval's declaration of policy in the chamber, which is expected to win him a vote of confidence when debate Is concluded Thursday or Friday, was chiefly a restatement of his former policies, .featured speaker at the first meeting of Uie year of Bela Alpha
