From Vacation.

a few minor deals remains to complete
negotiation of treaty between the

dies by this government at purchase
price of $25,OOO,OOO
So nearly in agreement are the two
governments that an official White
House announcement predicted that
the treaty would be signed at once.
Delay in closing the negotiations
was not explained, but 1t was indicat.
ed that 70 material barrier to their
successful outcome had developed. It
was suggested that the signing might
await the return of Secretary Lansing
from his vacation early In August.
The exact provisions OF the agree
ment are being closely guarded in the
belief that publicity at this time nigh.
place the negotiations at a disadvan.
tage. Officials reluctantly confirmed
that the purchase virtually had been
consummated and betrayed displeas.
ure that reports Of the advanced status
of the negotiations had been circulai.
ed in press dispatches.
Their chief concern is understood
to be the possibility that some third
nation might bring pressure to bear
to defeat the project.
