the most harmonious meeting Of the week. although
there was some lively debate when the report OF the
Committee on Tariffs and Transportation was reached

the table until the report OF the Executive Committee
had been heard as the latter would probably take
stand on the question that would tend to the
solution of the difficulty in regard to the appointment
Of L. L. Jaycox trafic manager by the DIRECTOR
general. The report of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs was adopted with the exception of that portion
relating the appointment OF an envoy to the Latin
American States which eliminated by request OF
Chairman Waller TO be embodied in separate report.

expend the $4,000 appropriated by Congress to
arouse interest abroad and to secure foreign eAhp''
for the Worlds Fair. This was designed TO enable
that committee to act independently OF the Executive
Committee but under the authorship Of the Commits

explained by the Treasury Department. Mr.. Massey
