BLOCKADE FOR
LEAGUE UPHELD
Balfour Says No Nation Can Long
Be Defiant With Such Econ.
omie Weapon In Effect.

San Sebastian, Spain, July 20
(By The Associated Press.)-"We
must have an economic blockade,
declared Arthur J. Balfour, British
representative on the League Of
Nations council, in talk with
newspaper correspondents on the
program of the council which opens
its regular meeting here tomorrow.
He considered the meeting an i'm
portant one. because among other
things, the blockade question was
comprised in its program.
II an economic blockade was ap-
piled to a nation which defied the
league, Mr.. Balfour said he could
not believe that nation would he
able to resist for long.
1T is not likely it will often be
used since it is not probable the
league will often be defed," he
said.
Sessions of the council OF the
League of Nations to be inaugural
ed tomorrow, are expected to con-
tinue for about a week.
Beginning Tuesday the disarma-
ment commission appointed at the
councils meeting in Rome last May
will convene to prepare its report.
This will be presented to the coun-
Gil before it adjourns.

WHEAT PRICES
AGAIN TUMBLE
DOWN IL CENTS
Scarcity Of Buyers Brings
Another Heavy Drop
z
in Grain Quotes.

Chicago, July 30.-Acute depres-
sion recurred today in the wheat
trade, and more than II cents q
bushel break In values was wit
messed. chiefly as result OF scare.
ity of buyers rather than great
selling pressure. At midday the
December delivery in which most
Of the trading centered, had fallen
to 1921 to $2.33A at yesterdays
finish.
$2.22A.
Breaks in foreign exchange rates
together with reports that the
British royal commission had pull
ed out of the market until next
Wednesday, or later, were among
the bearish factors. Talk OF lower
food prices by a leading banker
here also attracted attention, and
SO too did predictions in other
quarters that the movement of the
present crop would begin in vol
ume next week.
Drop Not Spectacular.
Except for the rapidity with
which quotations were chalked
down, on blackboards, the marke,
appeared singularly devoid Of
anything spectacular. By actual
count, the pit contained less thar
two dozen brokers, none Of whom
showed any evidence of excite
ment. Talk around the pit dwell,
largely on the financial difflculue:
likely to be encountered by would
be holders of grain.
The close was at moderate
rally from the bottom prices of thu
day, December finishing at $2.222
to 1923, and March at SASSY.

ASK COX Be
MADE DEMO.
CHIEF NOW
Wilson Plan to Give Nom
inee Party Control Aft
er Speech Opposed.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Snecial tn The Argus.

Washington, d. c., July 30-A
story has been published that Pres
fdent Wilson would wait until he
had read the speech of acceptance
by Governor Cox and then would
write him q letter recognizing him
as the leader of the Democratic
party. The White house declined to
comment on the story and cimilar
silence was observed at Dayton.
But the incident has caused con-
siderable comment as the writer
learned by mingling with Ohio
folks and not q few Democratic
politicians.
The truth of the matter reveals
a rather interesting sidelight on
the relations between the president
and the new leader Of the Demo-
cratic party and also exhibits some
of the delicacies In their respective
positions. The facts are these:
Waits to Get Line on Cox.
When Governor Cox visited Pres
ident Wilson in Washington, the
latter talked cordially to him
about the general political outlook
and the Ohioan's candidacy and
said frankly that he was glad to
surrender the leadership Of the
party to the nominee of the con-
vention. This pleased Governor
Cox very much and it was fully
expected that the president would
make some such statement in pub
lie SO that there would be no doubt
in the minds Of the voters as to
| who was leading the party in the
coming campaign. But no state
ment or letter has been forthcom-
ing, and the impression is that Mr..
Wilson will wait until he examines
the speech Of acceptance and de-
termine whether or not the Ohio
governor has expressed himself
correctly from the Wilson view
point.
Would Look Like Coercion.
Out in Ohio, however, tactics like
that are apt to be understood as
coercion, for 1t is contended that
J Hiram johnson held q club over
Senator Harding and withheld
| comment until after the speech Of
acceptance, and the inference
promptly was drawn that Mr..
Harding wrote his speech merely
to meet the approval Of johnson
on the League Of Nations issue. AS
a matter Of fact, Governor Cox
isn't consulting the White house in
! any sense about the speech Of ac-
ceptance and is writing it from his
own point OF view, believing that
the country expects him to express
his own views and not have others
dictate them. The president need

1t was intimated in government
circles unless Cantu abandoned
this attitude his telegraphic con-
ference with de Ia Huesta would
culminate in the issuance of fiat
ultimatum in which he would be
told to come to terms or fight. De
la Huesta is ready to land troops

ernor Cantu, for whom the CONVEX
sation was translated.

ton have resulted in the raising
OF force of men, Dato said Cantu
himself believes the incident will
pass without bloodshed.

30.-Mexican federal troops will
attempt by superior Numbers to
outfank and drive from Mexicali

mia, according to Cantu leaders
who are preparing for the defense
of the region today.
To counteract such q move
strong positions on the high
ground are being selected by the
defenders. Cantu's officer said, with
view to sweeping large expanses
with artillery at the approach OF
the federal troops from Manzanillo
and Guayamas.

The lives and property of Amer.
leans and other foreigners on both
sides of the border line would be

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, June 3.-The trend of todays sluggish stock market session was irregularly upward, although there were no very obvious changes in general conditions affecting intrinsic values.

 A reactionary tone prevailed in for eigE exchange, tEe London rate for feitinG most of yesterdays latent strength. The Bank of England state ment attracted attention because of the large increase of gold holdings and sharp reduction of liability re- serves.
 In the steel trade there were ru- mors of price cutting TOT fall anl win ter delivery. but this was neutfalized by an extension of the recent inquiry for railroad equipment ana refined copper, the latter from foreign sources.
 Apart from the fluctuations of se- lected issues still under professional or pool guidance. rails were the only features of note. Encouraging crop reports exerted further beneficial eff feet upon shares of western and south western roads.
 Steels and affiliated equipments were most prominent, with intermit- tent interest Tn motor, oil, food, tobac- co and shipping issues. Extreme gains of one to three points were materially shaded or entirely effaced, however, in the moderate selling at the close. Sales amounted to 425, ,O00 shares.
 Any tendency toward betterment in the bond market was checked by fur ther persistent pressure upon Liberty issues. Gross recessions in that group extended from quarter to almost 1H ! per cent with rallies at the end. The general domestic and foreign bond Total sales, par value, aggregated $13,800,000.
