Sees No Objection
To The Senatorial
interpretations
ARTICLE TEN CLEARED
President Talks Freely to
Committee Which
Called Today.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson told the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee today that he could
see no reasonable objection" to in
Irepretation as TO how the United
States accepts the league of nations
provided such Interpretation did not
form part Of the ratification itself.
II intrepration were part of the
formal ratification, the Presiden.
contended, long delays would follow
as other governments would have to
accept in effect the language of the
Senate as the language of the treaty
before ratification would be COM
plete". Most of the Interpretation,
the President said, seems to him to
suggest the plain meaning of the
instrument itself"
The much discussed article ten,
the President told the Senators, was
not OF doubtful Interpretation when
read as whole. The counsel, he
said could only advise, and as its
action must be unanimous the af-
Hrmative vote of the United States
would he necessary to any question
affecting it.
Article sixteen, the President said,
provided that where there dispute
is found to be solely within the jur-
isdiction of one Of the parties under
International law the league council
shall so report and make no recon-
mendation for its settlement. Imigra-
tion. tariffs and the Ike the PresI-
dent said. merely came under that
provision.
The President told the committee
the league council would have nothing
whatever to do with deciding whether
the United States had fulfilled It's
obligations in case of withdrawal
from the league.

A waiting market.

The stock market continued to await
developments In the strike situation, the
shares Of the steel group itself fiuctuating
within a moderate area and practically
all activity confined to those securities
" hich hardly would be effected by long
steel plant tieup Interest centred yes
terday in the tobacco stocks, which
81 ored another sharp advance In the
sugar stocks, on account Of the increase
II. the price of the raw commodity. and
liz the silver stocks, which rose in SYM
pathy with the present high price OF
Silver. Sales were approximately 100, 900
shares below the 100000 mark and a
considerable portion OF the markets
uuletness was attributed to the Jewish
holiday, which kept many traders out of
the market In the case of the steel
group no special attempt was made TO
force the market nor has any attempt
been made to force 1t since the strike
started. but there appears to be a good
sized volume of influential support sit
ting on the fringe of the market await
ing any show of weakness in the steel
shares. At such times 1t makes its
presence and influence felt. The steel
shares, particularly Crucible. were in
keen demand in the loan crowd last
night.

Sugar stocks Advance.

Sugar stocks yesterday forced them
selves into the limelight with a sudden
ness which suggested some special news
Of Importance. This probably will be
found in the fact that the Government
control probably will expire soon and
the country's sugar again be on an I'M
controlled market basis. Heavy buying
of Cuban raws Is said to have been ac-
complished in the last two weeks For
eign buyers have been in the Cuban mar
kets and have been bidding spiritedly
against American buyers, with the re-
suit that prices Of the raw sugar have
advanced rather rapidly. An interest In
a leading producing company estimates
the amount OF new crop of Cuban sugar
sold as around 100000 tons, 10000 of
WHICH have been bought by sugar re-
flnsrs In this country for domestic re-
quirements. The balance has been sold
to foreign buyers, but a very large pro-
portion will be refined in this country on
n toll basis for foreign account. Ameri-
can Sugar. American Beet Sugar and
Cuba Cane registered moderate advances.

Funding Interest Aids Exchange

Improvement in foreign exchange.
particularly In sterling and francs, may
be laid directly at the door of an agree
ment announced yesterday by Secretary
Glass. in which the interest of the Allies
due on their war loans advanced by
the United States Government will be
funded. The agreement was reached be-
Cause OF the inability of the Allies to
make interest payments on their debts in
view of the spresent exchange situation
and their heavy current expenses. I'm
der the agreement as reported in the
cases OF Great Britain, France, Italy,
Belgium and other countries which have
borrowed from the United States Gov
eminent the per cent interest on their
obligations will be permitted to accumu-
late. and this arrangement probably will
remain In effect for several months. or
at least until exchange shows decided
Improvement. Such a course has been
under consideration for several weeks, 1t
is reported. an6 the opinions of several
financial experts in Wall Street have
been sought on the proposition. Most
of them are reported to have advised
that the interest be funded.

In view OF the shower of publicity
which it has received, Sinclair Console
dated made yesterday rather a disap-
pointing showing. its early morning
price of 615s being its highest of the
day. The net result was a decline of
IL points on a turnover of $1,000
shares. The main object of the reor-
ganization and consolidation of all the
Sinclair properties, as Wall street under
stands it, was to provide a broad mar
ket for the stock. Several brokers
voiced the belief that the stock was very
tadly handled on its first day on the
exchange.

to who has the jurisdiction to fill 4

occurs the office liz to be filled by

the probate court Judge has equal 1urls-

dignity, 1t is a state court and the
governor must appoint.
Squire Guthrie grasped both horns
TO make sur OF his office by procur-
