Today Gasoline 50 Cents. W.hen? Mr. Weeks Will Remem ber. Japan, Chinn, Russia. BT ARTHUR BRISBANE, v___> President Coolidge has rendered important public service, in estab lishing his hoard for oil conserv atism. The matter is more impor tant to the public than to the oil producers, for unless new and great oil territories are soon lo cated the signs will read, “gasoline, 50 cents.” That last gasoline rate war is probably the last that will be seen in this country. It is announced that the presl • dent will leave Brigadier General Mitchell to the tender mercies of Secretary Weeks, who, thanks to Mitchell’s fearless and patriotic testimony,- stands exposed as a monument to complacent incapac ity, if nothing worse. It Is not easy to believe that the president will throw General Mitch ell overboard, entirely. There will probably he a string attached to the general, in the way of a private word of advice from the president to the secretary. If the worst comes, and General Mitchell, with the president’s tacit approval, is punished and humili ated for telling the truth, Mitchell may find comfort. When he is turned over to Mr. Weeks, the latter will be turned over to the ^newspapers, and what they will gg^^probably do to Mr. Weeks will last longer and be longer remembered than anything Mr. Weeks can do to General Mitchell. The soviet government has rati fied Russia’s treaty with Japan, so that China, Japan and Russia, now united by treaty, form the basis of a big European-Asiatic fombination. It interests us, because the three nations are united chiefly in their dislike of the United States. The Chinese masses have no particular reason for disliking us, since we refused to take our share of the boxer money. But skilful propa ganda has made China think that this nation, in some way, represents contempt for Asia’s people. Russia dislikes us because we persist in maintaining what they call a capitalistic government. They object to our system, as we object to theirs. The success of our capitalistic system annoys Russia, while the fact that we won’t admit Asiatic masses to full partnership annoys Japan. We may have trouble in that direction some day, if we re main open to attack. Any hope for prolonged safety must be based on the old saying that there is a special providence for children, drunkards and fools. Asia has its troubles. Educating its masses to hate something across the Pacific may cause them to look for things to hate nearer home. China’s railways are in utter dis *®^urder, the whole system a wreck, and the various brigand armies Se sing different lines. Japan lacks perfect barmony, with 2,500 police protecting its parliament. Our congress, which has just raised its own pay, even if it has not done much else, needs no protectors, thanks be. But if, one fine morning, half a dozen big American cities should be bombpd, gassed and wrecked, with the steel and oil men still Chew a few Pleasant Tablets Instant Stomach Relief!

Yesterday the big dirigible Los Angeles reached Bermuda, after a 12-hour journey from Lakehurst, N. J. The boats take 48 hours for the journey. And the Los Angeles is a slow boat, going about 60 miles an hour, oiie-fifth the speed of a good mod ern airplane. As to safety, Los Angeles with helium gas is at least as safe as railroad or steamship. Another year or two will see commercial air lines. The govern ment ought to start it, and thus help pay the cost of upkeep while training crews. But the railroads don’t want to see the government carrying pas sengers, and the railroads rule. Sir Esme Howard, British am bassador, tells a Louisville audi ence that a war between Great Britain and America is unthinkable and that the best thing for the world's peace would he "a firm understanding between America and Great Britain and its domin ions.” For those kind words, thanks. A nation like this, with a government that lacks the brains to prepare, in peace, or to deal with its graft ers, in war, would be fortunate to possess a friend in Great Britain. They have a government that oil mpn, steel men, battleship builders and international bankers do not dominate. That is why England has just appropriated $100,000,0(^0 for air craft.

Washington, Feh, 23.—The name ot Senator Holm O. Bursum, republican, New Mexico, was added today to the list ot United Slates senators under investigation by the Department of •lustice in connections with charges of improper use of influence before federal government agencies. Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon tana. already is under indictment in his home state on a charge of ac cepting a fee from practicing before a government department, and the justice department made it known Saturday that it was investigating a similar accusation against Senator Seldcn P. Spencer, republican, Alls sotiri. New Grand Jury. Deports at the capital that still nn oihpr senator was under inquiry were denied by justice officials. A new gland jury proceeding against Sen ator Wheeler is under way here, how ever, and that senator said today he might appear before the jury tomor row on the invitation of the Justice department. Both Senators Bursum and Speneer denied they had violated any federal statutes in connection with appear ances before any government agencies and said they would welcome the most thorough inquiries. Senator Spencer so informed Attorney Gen eral Stone in a letter which he made apart of the senate record after aris ing to a point of personal privilege. Justice officials did not disclose the exact nature of the charges which have been made against Senator Bur sum by Carl Magee, a New Afexieo newspaper man, who was a witness In the Teapot Dome Investigation. Assistant Attorney General Donovan said that this investigation thus far had developed nothing of importance, hut that he intended "to see the matter through.” Sale of Cattle. Senator Bursum, in denying Ma gee's charges, made the counter charge that the purpose was to em barrass him in the rontest he has brought to retain his seat In the senate as against Sam G. Bratton, who was elected on the face of offi cial returns. He added that the charge grew out of efforts he made to sell cattle In Afexieo some years ago. The New Afexieo senator denied he had sought to obtain the consent of agents of the War Finance corpora tion for the sale of the rattle, on which the corporation had made a loan, and out of the sale of which he was to receive a commission. His version Is that, at ,the instance of hankers who had mortgagee on the cattle he had sought to srrange a sale in Mexico, hut that when he had reported back the condition* under which the sale could be tinaneed by the Mexicans interested, ibe matter had been dropped.

By Aunrlityl Pr«n I.ondon, Keb. 23 — Former Chancel lor of the Exchequer Snowden ac cuaed the Belfast government of Il legally extractlngf mone yfrom the British treasury in a manner which, he said, did parliamentary etiquette permit, he would "characterise with an ugly word." The trouble arose over the home office's supplementary estimate of 1,250,000 pounds sterling as a grant to aid the revenues of the Ulster gov ernment toward the expenses of it* special constabulary. Snowden moved a reduction of the estimate on the ground that there was no legal au thority for it, since the maintenance of la wand order was an obligation laid on the northern government It self. Too Many PoUcement. The objector said this estimate was the latest conceaslon wrung from the British treasury, which hsd already been subjected to constant demands from the Ulater government for Illegal financial assistance. These demands have become no Intolerable that in 1922 Stanley Baldwin, then chancellor of the exchequer, had referred them to a committee Amid rising indignation an£ chal lenge from the Ulster members, Snow den further eccused the northern Ire land government of desiring this money for the unemployed and for the "support of the Orange ascend ency.” He said, counting police and special constables, there waa a po liceman for every six femilies In Ul ster. The Ulster member* made Ineffec tual attempts to get the chairman to prevent Snowden from making the accusations, Uhancellor of the Ex chequer Churchill, for the govern ment, said there waa nothing illegal and nothing unprecedented about the proposed grant.

It was far more Important Churchill said, that there should be peace and order than economy In the police aervlce. He explained it was not a right, but a concession freely made by the British parliament fn high reasons of state policy, and he trusted that the house would decide the matter on no narrow hasle. The members should never forget that, lit consenting to the present Status of Ireland, l ister had made a great ascii fire of her wishes, had accepted a form of government which had s«|m rated Its administration from that of Great Britain and that had placed it in the position of facing many peril* and difficulties. Several lalxir and liberal member* supported Snowden. After Snowden had pointed oul tha. neither Churchill nor the Plater mem hers had attempted to deny hi* charges, the house divided and th* Snowden motion was defeated, 271 against 112.
