entered into with other powers by the
United States with view to the pro-
lection of Russian rights in China have
reached only tentative stage. So far
no definite or concerted plan of action
has been agreed upon, but it was learn
ed that no form of international trus-
teeship of Russian rights in China, as
proposed by one of the powers, will be
undertaken because of the difficulty
which the United States holds must in
evitably surround such a procedure

week from Charles r. Crane, the Amer
lean minister at Peking, of the with
drawal by China of recognition of Rus

the same time informal negotiations
were entered into with the allied powers
for the formulation Of joint plan of

Re-States Position.
The senator's statement said:
1T seems to me that there should not
remain a shadow of doubt as to nv
exact position as regards the proposed
League of Nations us drafted and sub
mitted to the senate and as regards the
great world sentiment for better under
standing among nations to discourage
war and generally to advance civilization.
Let me re-state my position as EXPLICITLY
as my power of words permits:
Destructive Of Constitution.
First am unalterably opposed to
going into the League Of Nations as that
particular proposition stands. That pro-
posal is contemptuous of and potentially
destructive of the American constitution.

ciple that we entered and fought his

doctrine. as originally declared by Mon
roe was article 10 limited to the e>agsres-
sion of non-Americnn nations against
countries of the western hemisphere?'
Lauded Article TO-
''3.-Did you not also use these words:
Article 10 is one Of the greatest steps
forward provided in the league for the
securing of general peace?
'4.-You say that the League to En-
force Peace of which you were chair
man had no article 10. Shouldn't you
have been more frank with the people by
telling them that your plan only had four
articles and that your substitute for ar
ticle 10 was article 3? Can you deny
that your article 3 you provide for joint
use Of the military forces of the sigma
tory powers in event of violation of the
conditions of the covenant?
"5.-Did not your proposal carry
definite obligation to employ force and
in this respect was it not very much
more drastic than article 10?
'6.-You say Senator Harding has vot-

Millions of bushels of Canadian
wheat coming in to the United States
duty free undoubtedly has been major
Influence in bringing about the recent
drop in wheat prices" said Mr.. Winters.
Absence of duty on this wheat makes
its sale possible at an advantage of
about 20 cents bushell to the buyer
as compared with American wheat at
81 bushel. The fact that the premium
on United States money over Canadian
has declined in recent weeks from 10
per cent to between and per cent
indicates that very large amount of
Canadian goods has been sold here and
wheat has been one of the most import
ant items
Removal of the tariff also has made
it possible to hedge Canadian grain on
American exchanges and good deal of
that has been done at Chicago"

day as seeing no solution other than
through invoking libel provisions of the
solstead act against such ships.
Evidence gathered by federal agents
was said to have disclosed that masters
OF foreign ships frequently conspired
win their seamen to violate prohibition
laws. The supply of alcoholic beverages
mas been greatly increased along tte
eastern seabord. it was said.
The bureau is understood also to have
discovered definite connection between
foreign seamen engaged in smuggling and

gled commodity is marketed
Inc Noistead act provides for confis-
cation of vehicles of transportation en-
ployed in violation of that law. Bureau
officials were said to feel that although
foreign complications may result. they
snould take steps to control the traffic.
Offlelals are agreed the amount of SNUG

the jurisdiction of American laws when

them liable to confiscation if contraband

Certain foreign shipmasters are alleg-
ed to have employed a unique method Of
defeating prohibition. The reports re-
vealed, it was stated, that pay of sea-
men had been reduced to nominal
