LEAGUE BARS U. 5. FROM
RUSS COMMISSION PLACE

LONDON, April 4.--That IL is impos-
sible for the United states to be rep.
resented "in any cspacity" on the
special commission, which the coun-
Gil OF the league of nations recently
decided to send to Russia, was the

ing OF the league, after which Il was
stated that the United States was to
be officially notified of the intention
OF sending the commission to Russia.
Then It was said that tho nomination
OF a United States citizen to be
member of the investigation COM
mission would be welcomed.

CANADIAN SHIPBUILDTNG
LIKELY TO UNDERGO SLUMP

Canada's rapidly growing ship
building industry may be crippled
by the withdrawal Of government
aid for ship construction. Consul F.
S. Johnson, at Kingston, Canada,
yesterday reported to the Depart
ment of Commerce. Representa-
tives Of the principal shipbuilding
companies in the Dominion, it was
declared. have signed a memorial
urging the continuance of govern
ment financial assistance to main
tain operations, and pointing out
the need of more merchant ship
ping.
The direct subsidization by the
Canadian government of all ship
ping produced by the Dominion
yards has been suggested by the
shipbuilders as the only way in
which the industry may be saved.
1t has been urged that if shipbuild-
ing is to continue a force in the
industrial life of Canada the indus
try will have to be developed along
lines that will insure stability and
