Washington, Feb. 14. Restora

The Investigation of wheat and
bread prices, it i3 asserted, was

from wheat growing staes to deter

the price received by the farmer for
his wheat and the price paid by the
householder for his bread."
On the basis of present wheat
prices, these congressmen are in

a pound loaf of bread is excessive
and extortionate.

DAWES HOLDS
PLAN FOUND TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
Experts Convinced They Have Found
a Solution of the Separations
Problem in Germany.
Berlin. Feb. 14. Gen. Charles G
- , .
" lu"""ul"
na experts were on their way to
Paris totlay. convinced they have
found a plan whereby the allies can
collect reparations and Germany can
be rehabilitated financially.
The plan, Dawes believes, will be
satisfactory to both France and Ger
many if viewed from a strictly busi
ness viewpoint. It will enable the
allies to get reparations, pre-suppos-ing
that Germany is allowed econom
ic control of the Ruhr and Rhine
land. Under the plan outlined by Dawes'
committee, the maximum amount ob-
mauie as icydiauuus m ucytnu
upon the extent to which the world
absorbs German products.
Before his departure, Gen. Dawes
visited Chancellor Marx and thank
ed him for Germany's co-operation
in providing material necessary to
the committee's investigations. Marx
replied that he was glad the experts
had had the opportunity for thor
ough study of the German financial
situation.
Full details of the plan were not
available before the committee left
Berlin, but some of the features
were made known to the United
Press.
They include:

sibly three billion will suffice.
3 This currency must be backed
by 50 per cent gold, or the equiva
lent. 4 The German budget must be
balanced; according to the experts
this should not prove difficult. Ger-
many probably can manage it her-
she doesn't she must be helped by
outside loans. It is believed a large
part of the stock of the new bank
could be subscribed in America.
5 Germany must be freed of re-
sections now hampering production
and export
The experts stated it was silly to
try to name a concrete maximum
sum for reparations, but Insisted it
will be possible to ascertain what
the minimum will be under the new
plan. The maximum will be deter
mined as Germany's foreign trade
develops. In other words, if the
world obsorbs a lot of "made in Ger
many" goods, then there will be
more reparations.

SAYS DAUGHEBTY
APPROVED LEASES
TO MAGNATES
To Quiz McLean About Alleged Mil
lion Dollar "Slush Fund" For
Harding Administration.
Washington, Feb. 14. Interest in
the Teapot Dome oil scandal was di
vided today between the first direct
evidence implicating Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty and further reports
reaching the investigating commit
tee concerning the mysterious 1 mil
lion dollar fund figuring in the lat
est gossip of questionable deals in
Washington.
This 1 million dollar fund, accord
ing to the story, was raised in Wall
Street and sent to Washington to re
imburse important members of the
Harding administration who had
sustained heavy losses in stock mar
ket gambles on oil stocks.
The investigating committee con
sidered in executive session the in
formation it has received in connec
tion with this story. Members of the
committee have been informed that a
number of prominent New York fin
anciers had knowledge of the rais
ing and distribution of the fund in
cluding the disappearance of about
200 thousand dollars of the amount
in a matter not contemplated by the
donars.
The committee considered the call
ing of Otto Kahn of Kuhn Loeb &
Co., Benjamin Yoakum, and several
other financiers to ascertain if they
could shed any light on the reports
concerning this report, but so far as
could be learned tonight no definite
action was taken pending further in
quiry. A subpoena was Issued, however,
for Kdward B. McLean, millionaire
owner of the Washington Post and
Cincinnati Enquirer and close per
sonal friend of the late President
Harding.
The committee desires to question
him regarding a number of matters
Pertaining to the navy oil lease scan
dal and to inquire if he ever heard
anything about the 1 million dollar
fund distributed to officials. McLean
is in Florida professing to be too ill
' appear before the committee and
the subpoena was issued following
reports that he had decided to go
abroad for an indefinite stav for his
health.
SINGLES CUT THE
JAPS ALONE FOR
POOR TREATMENT
Secretary Hughts Believes Such Ac
tion Inconsistent With 1911
Treaty With Japan.
Washington, Feb. 13. Proposals
of the Johnson immigration bill
which "single out Japanese immi
grants for exclusion" are '"inconsis
tent" with the treaty of 1911 and
should be eliminated, Secretary
Hughes informed Chairman Johnson
of the house Liimigration committee
in a letter made public today at the
state department.
"I believe such legislative action
would largely undo the work of the
Washington conference on limitation
of armaments, which so greatly im
proved our relations with Japan,"
Mr. Hughes warned Representative
Johnson.
As a substitute for the exclusion
proposals, the secretary suggested
that Japanese be placed on the same
quota basis as other nations and that
the immigration certificate plan now
in the bill to provide for selection
abroad be made applicable to Japan
ese nationals. Active co-operation
of the Japanese government in car
rying out this plan and also in pre
venting surreptitious entry of Jap
anese was to be expected, Mr.
Hughes continued, adding:
"It is believed that such an ar
rangement, involving a double con
trol over the Japanese quota of less
than 250 a year (under the 2 per
cent quota based on the 1S90 census
as proposed in the bill) would ac
complish as much more effective
regulation of unassimilable and un
desirable classes of Japanese immi
grants than it would be practicable
for us with our long land foantier
line on both north and south, to ac
complish by attempting to establish
3 general bar against Japanese sub
jects to the loss of co-operation with
'he Japanese government."
Publication of the letter to Chair
man Johnson, dated February 8, fol
lowed a series of White House con
ferences on the questions involved.
At the conclusion of these confer
ences, the administration viewpoint
on the Japanese angle of the immi
gration bill was summed up as fol
lows in Mr. Hughes' letter:
"I am unable to perceive that the
exclusion provision is necessary and
I must strongly urge upon you the
advisability, in the interests of our
international relations, of eliminat
ing it.
"The Japanese government has al
ready brought the matter to the at
tention of the department of state
and there is the deepest interset in
the attitude of congress with respect
to this subject."
Commenting on Mr. Hughes let
ter, which he will lay before his
committee tomorrow. Chairman
Johnson predicted it would not
change the committee's view that
the exclusion provision should re
main in the bill.
"If the suggestion of Secretary
Hughes means that immigration is
to be arranged only by treaty, I feel
pretty sure that the committee will
not accept it," Chairman Johnson
said.

Agrees with Our Viewpoint
The dav after the big storm two
weeks azo. when this announcer's
artjcie apropos train dispatching, tt

the Journal, in the race or giarum
v, (i i i n m in the dailv Dress, it seem-
, f ti.e tinie that we stood alone
as a cx-i tic of the practicability of
radio in an emergency. The Sunday
World-Herald radio editor, however,
vindicates our position, and we pass
along one or two excripts from his
elongated article:
"Three railroad messages transmit
ted one hopelessly incorrect and
perhaps two dozen press bulletins
constituted the 'crop' on that night
when volume of business handled and
accuracy meant so much x x x

shoud h?ve been had there been les3
'runnine around in circles' and more
honest-to-goodness traffic direction

singing by Rochte has been advanced

lore, ana vvni io iu u.i

program. The Iowa City stations
other regular night for broadcasting
IS 1 UeSUuy. WHICH is t a aiaui
night, so no changes are necessary
for it.

NEW TOBACCO LICENSE LAW
From Thursday's Daily
There are some phases of the new
tobacco license law that are not fa-
running one year from the day of the
issuance of the license and insures a
uniform date for the issuance of the
license. The fee remains the same as
usual, $10 per year, but those ap
plying after July 1 will be required
to only pay $5 for the rest of the
year. The parties who had licenses
not expiring at the time the law was
in effect at the first of the year will
be allowed to continue their licenses
to the end of the current year,
j Other features of the law are those
prohibiting the display of signs on
; buildings or windows of cigarettes of
any kind, advertising being limited
to regular newspaper advertising,
Any minor under eighteen smoking,
chewing or using tobacco in any
form is subject to a fine and may
secure immunity by stating where
he secured the tobacco.
