Washington, June 1.-While railroad executives were pressing 'before con gress today their plea for relief from financial emibarrassments, President Harding took direct action to satisfy himself that a revision of freight rates, particularly on necessities, would be a part of the general rail way readjustment. Walking unannounced Into the of fice of the interstate commerce com mission, the ipresident inquired of the commissioners what they were doing toward the relief of shippers who had found some of the .present rates tin reasonably burdensome. lie was as sured that the whole subject was -un der investigation and that the com mission hoped soon to effect broad revision through the voluntary action of the roads. The hauling charges for fruit products over iWestorn roads were made a specific example by Mr. Harding in pressing his inquiries. The commission officials replied that the fruit sCheIulos already were receiv ing informal consideration. Although it was indicated that the question of ratos prompted the pres ident's call on the commission, it was assumod that during the half hour's conference mention also was made of the road's pro:)osal that the govern ment discharge at once its debt to them girowing out of federal control. This piroposal was renewed before the senate interstate commerce committee during the day by Samuel Rea, presi dent of the Pennsylvania lines, who arigue d that such action would be no inore than in keeping with the word of tle government given at te time the rois were taken over.

Berlin, May 1.-China and Germany aiparently are no closer to an actual restoration of diplomtic relations than they were six months ago in spite of the fact that -unofficial dele gations are at work in both coun tries trying to .perfect a treaty. Hlerr von Borch heads the German delegation which Is :working in Pek ing and Dr. Chang is chairman of the Chinese delegation which is living at the Chinese legation in Berlin. -Although China passed a resolution declaring it was at peace with Ger many, following the refusal of the Chinese to sign the Versailles treaty because of the dispositlon made of Shantung province, the Chinese gov ernment has not yet abrogated its leg islation forbidding Germans to carry on 'business in China. Consequently, German firms are un able to conduct busines with the 'Chinese in the name of German cit izens. While the Chinese war logisla tion is not rigidly enforced, it still stands on the Chinese statute books, and German trade is not regarded as safe until there is some written agreement betweenl China and Grer many which wll prevent legal com plications. It now seems unlikely that China will sign a treaty with Giermany tin til the I'nited States devises some plan of restoring diploia tic relations wit'h Germany. China followed Amer lea's lead in breaking off dipliomatic relations with Gormanly and did not en:vIr tle war agailst the CenUtral -l'Owers ut"iI the U'nited States had done so. \len China entered the war it Wsas an associated powir. and not as an allied ipower of the entente. A1d nlow.. it staind vith the U n ited States qa ion-signatory to the \er tilles trea ty and critieal of the pro viions of that treaty. China is a mer.I )er of the league of nations, how ever having gained admission to that body by signing the Austrian treaty. Theoretieally, China is at peace with Gernian y. It ias no declared Itself by legal enactment. lit all the legal steps necessary for the restoration of (iploniatIc relations must be taken be fore peaceful relations and commer cial Interelhange are possible. China and Germany have not ex changed ministers and consuls. I)r. Chang has the sale uilcerItain posi tion in lerlin that Elllis boring Dres el, the Ameri ai commfisissione.r, holds.
