transfer of the latter's concession to
the United States, was resumed to-

Seine. The former president of the
tribunal, Maitre DuBuit. continued his
argument in behalf of the company
right to sell it's concession to the
United States without the consent OF
Colombia. In closing M. DuBuit made
the following significant query:
"Why should we solicit your consent
when your authority ceased to exist
Let us speak frankly. 1t Is a ques-
ton of price. is it not? And is it not
best that we do not discuss that
branch of the question:"
M. DuBuit's statement that Colom-

question of price," was much com
mented upon.

in tobacco manufacturing in Japan and
the creation of monopoly means ear
