Cap and Gown to
Boost Sale Papers

Boston, Aug 4EPedestrians along
Newspaper Row tonight saw a young
man wearing college cap and gown
selling papers. A patrolman saw him
too. So did the reporters. When
the patrolman asked to see his H.
cense the man produced a hawker's
and peddler's permit which identi-
fled him as Armand T. Gaudreau of
Lewiston, Maine.
When the reporters asked for his
story, Gaudrenu said he had tried
since his graduation from the Uni
versity of Maine last June to make
an honest living" but had been told
many times that a college man"
was not wanted.
He said that until he put on the
cap and gown he sold one paper
where the. ragged newsboys sold 80.
He had better luck in his unusual
costume. he said.
Gaudrcau's conclusion was that
lone must have a rich uncle or 9th
er relative to find employment to-

Acquiescence of Japan. France
and Italy Practically Assured
u. S. Not Insistent on I'm
alterable Course of Discus
sion-Mandate Talk Probable

Washington, Aug. 4-Unless un-
expected opposition develops, the in
ternational conference on disarma-
ment and Far Eastern subjects, pro
posed by President Harding, will
begin on November II, the third an
niversary of the signing of the armi-
stice which marked the close of the
World war
Great Britain's formally expressed
Willingness to accept any date that
would be agreeable to the United
States led to the eXtention of tho
definite suggestion to all the invited
powers that they convene on that
date. 1t is understood unofficially
that Japan will offer no objection to
the suggestion. although the govern
ment at Toxic would prefer a
slight delay for the purpose of ia
cilitating the compilation of ma :
terial that will be required by its
representatives at the conference.
France and Italy it is understood,
will join the British government in
prompt acquiescenCe.
Press dispatches indicating Great
Britains willingness to leave to the
United States the determination of
the subjects that will be discussed
were said to be Indicative of the
spirit of accord which has been
manifested. The American govern
ment has made it plain that it does
not insist upon defining an unalter-
able course of discussion but has
felt that the nature of the agenda
should be outlined in advance of the
conference if possible.
1t Is possible that the question of
zap may be solved before the con-
ference. 1t is understood the Jap
aEese ambassador has indicated to
Sec. Hoover that he is prepared to
proceed with the discussion of that
subject and intimations have been
made at the state department that
zap might be eliminated by prior
adjustment.
The difficulties of adjusting the
pproblem. however, is understood to
rest largely upon a difference of
opinion as to the principles in
VOWED. Japan, it is said, would be
willing to enter into an agreement
regarding the cable terminals on the
island, but the United States has
insisted that the question of man
dates is involved. Japan has cor
tended that the ALLEGATION of the Yap
mandate is an accomplished fact
and therefore is not one for the con-
ference to consider.
1t is understood that the United
states is inclined to regard tho
discussion of mandates over islands
In the Pacific as one that might
properly come before the conference.
Great Britain, France and Italy
have indicated their support of the
American contention that the con-
sideration of mandates may properly
be taken up by the various powers
interested, and have not denied that
the United States is logically and
legally entitled to voice in their
ALLEGATION since she was one of the
victors in the war Japan has in
sisted that the question of mandates
and their ALLEGATION pertains to the
League of Nations.
