Washington, Dec. 1.-The natural
processes Of evolution, working with
ir the Conference like yeast in dough.
may result ia an informal associa-
ton Of nations being presented on a
silver platter 20 the world without
the President doing more than giving
It his blessing. In fact, If those pro-
cesses continue TO evolve, some fine
morning the announcement may be
made that the next meeting OF tho
association" will be held in Paris,
London, or Tokyo. That Is an exag-
gerated way OF driving homo the fact
that this Conference is beginning TO
tie itself to the future i'm manner
that may not have been imagined by
the foreign delegates when they sailed
for American shores.
When the Conference was called Il
was not dreamt that its actions would
extend into the infinite. II was known
that the effect Of its work might con-
tinue for a decade. perhaps. but il was
not conceived that II would be nee
ossary for the nations representa- TO

their tasks. That may not necessarily
take place. but there are possibilities
and probabilities.
The Administration has sent up a
most beautiful trial balloon, Labelled

which hold it, TO earth are anchored
In the~U. 3. A. And II Is in the L. s. A.
that the balance Of financial power
and world trade is now found. OF
course the Administration has no
thought OF using any coercive means
whatsoever TO consummate its idea.
But there the balloon floats in tho
breeze. and these who gather beneath

grain products aud hay between
points in the western district was
extended yesterday by the Interstate
Commerce commission from Deeein-
Der 27 to JanuaryS7. 4
The extension of the effective date
was made necessary because the
roads were not prepared TO file the
necessary tariffs. This delay, il is
said, was due to the fact that the
railroads were counting on the COM
mission to allow the substitution OF
the, general 10 per cent cut for the
