WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 6-The full
amount Of time stipulated in trade agree
ments with foreign governments, which is
Six months In the case of Germany and
Great Britain. and twelve months in the
cases of Portugal. Italy, Spain and The
Netherlands, will be given by the State
department in the ~abroeation OF these
agreements following the enactment OF the
new tariff law.
These notices were today prepared for
the signature OF the secretary of state.
They will be sent to diplomatic represen-
tatiYes OF these governments in this coun-
try. At the same time notices will be
cabled to the American diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the countries involved.

having any term of notice stipulated in
trade agreements now in force, were noti-
lied OF the ~abrogation OF these treaties on
April 30 last, so that in each they now
have about three months to prepare for
the new conditions.
Would Avoid Criticism,
In taking this action the State depart
ment has adopted a course which. II Is
believed, would be beyond criticism of for
eign governments, although the tariff law
stipulates that such notices shall not ex-
ceed the time agreed upon for a diplomatic
oOIosdlon OF the agreements.
lnferentially this would authorize a no
uce covering any less period thar the
president might deem desirable. The Law
provides hat the president shall Issue
these notices within ten days, but the
State department took the matter in hand
promptly and Issued them at once.

States and foreign countries To deterrnina

dition, to the rates stipulated in the law
Before such action is taken in any case the
utmost effort will be made on the mart
of this government to obtain a correction
OF any discrimination found to exist against
American products.
Maximum Rate Last Resort,
IL VIII be only as a last resort that the
maximum rate will be applied. 1t is not
believed that any practice Of a South
American country will be cIassed as dis
criminatory against the United States. as
trade relations with Latin-America have
been generally on a most satisfactory
basis.
The department is now making a very
survey of the field to determine

Speaker Cannon and Representa-

The president admits there is no

the attitude of the Senate gives him
some concern.
Free hides seems to be the subject
of worry at the White House but it
is expected this will be smoothed over
by compromise.
Speaker Cannon said today that
trading on the ignorance of the pub

manufacturers are going to raise the
prices, regardless of anything Con-

The grounds and buildings are well

to directing visitors about the grounds

With the immense crowds drawn by
special day attractions there has
been no scenes of disorderliucss or
brawling, and an arrest is practically
unknown. In no way has the absence
of liquor interfered with the regular
