WATER RATES HEARING COSTS $2,000 A DAY Federal Court Trial Is Recessed Until Monday After 9-Day Session. After a nine-day session, costing water consumers and taxpayers, it is estimated, not less than $2,000 a day, hearing of thp Indianapolis Wafer Company's suit for higher rates was recessed Thursday until Mondav by Albert Ward, federal court special matser in chancery. The hearing is expected to require another three weeks. The suit was filed by the company to enjoin enforcement of a public sendee commission order last December setting the company's ratemaking valuation at $22,500,000, and granting it a 64 per cent return on ;he valuation. The company is seeking a valuation of more than $28,000,000 and a return of 74 or 8 pier cent. Attempt to prove that the company already has an adequate water supply for emergencies, that the Oaklandon reservoir project is not needed, and that the 4,300 acres of land on Fall creek for the project should not be included in the valuation, was made Tuesday by George W. Hufsmith, deputy attorneygeneral. From George W. Puller, company consulting engineer, Hufsmith elicited the admission the company has available a supply of 90.000.000 gallons of water from White river, wells and Fall creek now, the highest consumption for any one day during a drought being Jess than 56,000.000 gallons. Fuller was followed on the stand by F. G. Cunningham, his associate, who testified as to condition of various pieces of pumping apparatus.

Today and Tomorrow BY WALTER LIPPMANN

TT was evident from the first imA pression of Herr Hitler's speech that he had chosen the path opened to him by President Roosevelt, and that the immediate crisis had, therefore, been surmounted. A close reading of the full English text of the address is even more reassuring. In so far as words can bind the actions of a people the chancellor went

further than anyone had dared to hope in offering specific guarantees that, he does not wish to disturb the peace. Not only was he definitely reassuring on those very points, whicn are at the root of the European po--liti ca 1 disorder, but in the manner which he employed to present

the German case ! no fair-minded person can fail to recognize that the bitter truculence of the Nazi propaganda was singularly lacking, and that Herr Hitler remained strictly within the limits of honest indignation at the injustices and humiliation to which Germany had been subjected. nun THE specific assurances are to be found in his discussion of \ the problem of the frontiers. Thus, after saying Versailles had failed ! to find a solution of the Eastern boundaries which “met Poland's I understandable claims just the j same as Germany's natural right," ! the chancellor stated that “never- ; theless no German government will of its own volition break an agreement that can not be abrogated | except by substituting a better one. “However, this acknowledgement of the legal character of such a i treaty can be only a general one. Not only the victor has claims to the rights granted therein, but also the vanquished. The right to demand revision of this treaty, however, is founded on the treaty itself. As the motif and measure of its demand, Germany desires nothing but the experiences ! thus far attained, and the undeniable findings of logical, critical rea- : son." 1 Unless lam greatly mistaken, this is the most definite pledge yet given by any German government that it would pursue its claim for revision | within the framework of the Covenant of the League of Nations. For it is in the Covenant, most particularly in Article XIX, that the right of the "vanquished" to appeal to the “findings of logical, critical reason" is stipulated. This pledge as to the territorial ambitions of Germany was supplemented by a, specific offer which is certainly of the utmost importance. This was in the chancellor's pmphasis on that part of the MacDonald plan, which is also a fundamental requirement of tne French plans, that armaments should be subjected to international supervision. n a b WHAT is important here is that he offered, provided other nations took a similar position, to submit not only the German army ; to the semi-military and semi-offi-cial international supervision, but all organizations, such as the Nazi storm troops and the Steel Helmets. That such supervision of all kinds of actual and potential military force is fundamental to any kind of i disarmament by treaty has long bden evident to those who have i worked on the problems. Thp chancellor’s willingness to submit the whole German military power to international inspection is, therefore, as definite an evidence of good faith as it was in his power to offer the world. For the address itself, both as to its substance and its manner, there must be a very high degree of general approval. The difficulty, which will cause the world to be reserved in its judgment, will come from trying to reconcile it with the Nazi propaganda, with Herr Hitler’s ow : n speeches in the past, with the recent speeches of some of his owm ministers. It. will be hard to reconcile it with the ruthless injustice of the treatment meted out to the German Jews, with the violence ol the attack, as symbolized by the burning of the books, upon the spirit of peace and international comity. How does one reconcile this genuinely statesmanlike address with of- : ficial words and official actions that have caused consternation throughout the civilized w’orld? B B B THERE will be some who will say that the address is merely a shrewd maneuver and that it must be rejected as insincere. I do not take this view. The truer explanation, I believe, is that we have heard once more, through the fog and the din, the hysteria and the animal passions of a great revolution. the authentic voice of a genuinely civilized people. I am not only willing to believe that, but it seems to me that all historical experience compels one to believe it. Those who have that wisdom will pass judgment upon the actions of men, but never upon their whole natures. Who that has studied history and cares for the truth would judge the French people by what went on during the Terror? Or the British people by what happened !in Ireland? Or the American people by the hideous records of lynchl ings? Or the Catholic church by the Spanish inquisition? Or Protestantism by the Ku-Klux Klan? B B B SO the outer world will do well to accept the evidence of German good will and seek by all possible means to meet it and to justify it. Herr Hitler has said that “the generation of this young Germany, which in its life hitherto came to know only the distress, misery and woe of its own people, has suffered too tremendously under the madness of our time to intend to inflict t the same upon others." It is the intention of the young Germany which Adolph Hitler'leads that has troubled mankind, as the German chancellor must know from | [ be reports of every' honest German diplomat and emissary in the outer world. He will find that the further he can go to prove that it is not the intention of young Germany to inflict upon others the misery and j humiliation it has suffered, the greater will be Germany’s dignity and power in the council of nations.
