CANADIAN DIPLOMAT SEES

New York. Jane 21.-N. V. Rowell, former president, of the priyy council of Canada, speaking here tonight at aim ner of the Canadian Club, characterized the league of nations as the most hope full and practical experiment yet tried for providing a substitute for war He said he had spent five weeks in Gene va, and he believed the entry of all great powers into sthe league would guarantee the success of the experiment.
 'Tne consideration which was finally accorded the views of Canada and other non-European states was one of the most hopeful and significant features of the assembly judged as a world organlza- tion," he declared.
 MT. Rowelr said Canada, associated po-
 litically with Great Britain, and geo graphically with the United States, should assist in interpreting the one to th< other and in promoting a cordial under standing and whole hearted co-opera l tion.
 He predicted that notwithstanding thu great sacrifices, losses and financial oe | ligations of the war; Great Britain would weather the storm and emerge strength ened and purified.

 Mr. Hardihg's spirits rose appreciably at the prospect of his respite, and al- though more careworn than when ne passed through Kentucky and Tennessee in October on a campaign trip, he greet ed with a smile the groups that gath cred around his car at various stops to shake his hand. At Toakdale. Tenn. where there was a delay of fifteen min utes to change engines, he got out and entertained a grinning audience of rail- way switchmen by walking a rail with l the spryness of fifteen-year-oid

At the same time in- 1 dications multiplied that the whole prob- | lem still is in a state of fux and that l final decisions on every one of the ten cabinet places must be reached during | Mir.

OPPOSITION IN SENATE TO REGULATION OF PACKERS

Washington. Jan. 21.-Proposed gov ernnent regulation of the meat packers and allied industries drew fire in the sen ate today from Senators Sherman of H. linois and Fernald of Maine, both re-
 publicans They opposed the pending
 Gronna regulatory bill as an unwarrant-
 ed interference with a particular private
 industry, a principle. which. they said
 might be extended -injuriously to other lines of business.
 Opposition of both senators to the mea sure, which will be voted on next Monday, also included attacks upon the federal trade commission which has sup ported the legislation. Senator Sherman. charging that the commissions criticisms l of the Big Five" packers had injured their export trade, declared that a copy of one of the commissions reports got infps the hands of the British board of trade Ehonths before it was made public i in this country.
 A substitute for the Gronna bin was introduced by Senator Sterling, rerub- | lican, South Dakota. proposing transfer l of government regulation of the meat | industry to the federal trade commission 1 instead of the new livestock commission
 provided in the Gronna bill, This sub stitute also provided for less federal su. tpervisio than the Gronna bill. and had
 as one of it's principal provisions, rub- 1 hcity of meat packing affairs.
