While indus- j irial plans and other sound plans for! peace are developing along converg ing lines, we believe that, the power which, will most effectively check the main cause of war in this hemi- \ sphere is for America to stand pre- ; pared. “It should be emphasized that no j aggressive action is anywhere con-| templated in our plans. They are 'pa-j per plans' in every sense of the word, I which will not. be put into effect until j our country is in danger and cannot ! he put into operation until the Ameri ran people speak through their duly authorized representatives in Con gress."

TO INSIST COAST SHIPPING LAWS STAND Delegates to Brussels Parley Told to Oppose Move to Revise Code. A resolution was adopted by the I Shipping Board yesterday requesting I American delegates to the meeting of j the Inter tational Chamber of Com j merce, at Brussels next month, to oppose any discussions looking to • changing American coastwise laws so as to admit foreign vessels to the coastwise trade of this country. The resolution declared continuance and effective enforcement of the coast wise laws is "essential to the exist ence of an American merchant ma rine and for our national defense." and added that the question was a domestic one, “the discussion of which ! is not within the jurisdiction of the proposed Brussels conference." The Brussels meeting, the resolu tion said, has as its purpose two reso lutions dealing with flag discrimina tions, which might open the door to consideration of coastwise laws unless steps were taken to prevent it.

HIGH COURT UPHOLDS PAVING ASSESSMENT Hoehling Rejects Contention ; Northeast Improvement Is No Real Estate Aid. i j Justice Hoehling of the District Su- | | prenie Court yesterday refused a re i quest of William G. Johnson and othei j trustees, who hold title to a tract of 4h j acres on Rhode Island avenue north teast, to set aside an assessment of .$6,112.52 laid under the Borland I amendment by the District Commis sioners against the property for the Improvement of the roadway with as ! phalt. j The court held that tnc assessment j was properly laid and overruled the j contention of counsel for tlm trustees j that Rhode Island avenue at that point is not a street, hut a suburban road, j and that the improvement has been of j ' no actual value to the real estate, bqt | has merely shortened the automobile route between Baltimore and Wash ington and has benefited the general public. The court refers to the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Knox case, where an assessment under the Borland amendment was vacated, but points out that was a tract on the Naylor road, in the Southeastern sec tion, which passed through an area rough, hilly and cut by deep ravines.
