JAP AMENDMENT
(By Associated Press)
GENEVA. Sept. 29.——-Gravc inter—
national problems are believed to
have been raised through the Jap-
anese demand at the League of Nov
tions discussions for an amendment
to the proposed protocol of arbitra-
tion and security. _ .
The delegates from the British
dominlous. especially Australia and
New Zealand. are showing anxiety
over the outcome of the Japanese
amendment as they fear the prob-
lem will be forced before the coun-
cil of the league for consideration
if the amendment is accepted. Sir
Littietou Groom. attorney general
of Australia, is president of the sub-
cpmmission which is discussing the
Japanese amendment today and
which will decide whether to rec-
ommend its adoption by the League
of Nations commission on arbitra-
tion. ‘ ,
The Japanese amendment is to
strike from the procotol the decla-
ration that a country refusing an
arbitral award of the world court
shall be proclaimed an aggressor.
Japan objects to the prohibition
against fighting out a case before
the League of Nations when the
world court has ruled that the is-
sue involved is purely a
within the domestic jurisdiction of
the other party to the dispute and
that by inference there is neither
cause for conflict nor for arbitra-
tion proceedings.

As a result of a survey. the sys-
tematic planting of trees along the
Boston Post road from the New York
sieteJine to New Haven in recom-
mended in I. report which P. L. But-
trlck. consulting forester of New Ha-
ven, has made to the State Highway
Department. Widening of this high-
way to a width of thirty-six f t. an
improvement that is being to dly
carried out. has caused the state ‘to
inquire into the possibility of en-
hancing the scenic beauty of the
road. .
Mr. Buttrick'e conclusions in the
matter offer a: number of alternative
proposals. the character of the trees
to be planted varying in accordance
with growths already existing on the
garden of the road in some localié
es.
in important feature of highway
tree planting. the report: says. is that
it will ordinarily increase real estate
values along the road. “since people
will pay more for beautiful sur-*
rounding: than for unattractive
ones." It also will. to a considerable
extent. decrease the encroachment
of unsightly structures. since there
will be less room for them. and since.
with the establishment of a row of
trees it will be easier to establish
building lines. The mere presence
of trees.and the fact that they can-
not be out without permission will
discourage encroachment. the survey
declares. ,
"It. will mask unsightly features
of the scenery. such as tumble-down
buildings and glaring billboards, Mr.
Buttrick declares. The belief is also
expressed that planting will tend to
that a. beautiful road is an incentive
to slower travel. .‘Another feature
pointed out. is that by reducing sumo
mei- temperature the trees will make
easier both. pedestrian and- horse-
drawn traffic.
In connection with the presence of
telephone. electric light and power
lines along the highway. it is recom-
mended that. as far as possible. these
lines be carried through overhead
cables. which do not interfere with
tree growth es open wires would.
"Billboard advertising." Mr. But-
trick declares, "has aroused much
public opposition in recent years.
Whatever advantages the bill-board
may possess an an advertising me-
dium. it. detracts from the beauty of
the road besides which it is placed
and probably in the long run dc-
cr‘baoes adjacent real estate values.
8.0 far. no legal advice seems to have
been hit upon to curb the nuisance
when bill-boards are located on pri-
vate land. ‘
"Yet they are valuable to the ad-
vertiser only because of the road. In
it not fair. therefore. that they pay
their share of the expense of road
building and maintenance?"
He then suggest: a state tax on
bill-boards along state roads. the
proceeds to go to tree planting and
landscape improvement along those
same roads.
In relation to the kind of tree to
be used. the smaller types of soft
maples, lindens or basswood and oc-
casionally poplars, are suggested.
except in localities where it is pos-
sible to plant large American elm:
in sections where future widening of
the road is not contemplated for fif-
teen or twenty years.
