AUSTRALIAN TRADE TREATY
 UNDER WAY
Italy Affords Best Trans
 portation Outlet for Vast Resources of Russia Italy Believed Favorable.
Unternatienal News Service)

Rome, July 16.--Italian and Rus sian economists are at present pre- pairing a commercial treaty between the two countries on similar lines to that signed by England and Russia. The head of the Russian economic mission in Italy is M. Vorosky. The Italian government is represented on the Italian mission. and Count Sforza. Italian Foreign Minister, has had many interviews with the Russian envoy.
 Commercial relations between the two countries were re-established long ago, and goods have already been exchanged. The aim of the Russian mission is to get Italian capital interested in Russia.
 Italy would also be asked to supply technical personnel, foremen and engineers, who would direct the work of Russian workmen. In exchange for this Italy would re- ceive concessions on certain factor ies and land in Russia, as well as naphtha, ben2ol and coal from the Donetz mining district. Forests along the Black Sea would also be open to exploitation by Italy.
 Russia's greatest need is trans portation, and here Italy, according to NJ. Vorosky, could be of little use to Russia She has no locomo- tives or railroad materials to ex- port. However, arrangements would be made whereby Italy could sup ply automobiles and auto trucks as we'll as barges and ships. The latter could be used on Russian canals and rivers, which, the Bol' sheviks claim, could be transformed so as to ease communications be tween the Baltic and the Black Sea Italy would also be offered the ex ploitation of certain mines, although some of these have been idle fol more than three years.
 The Russian envoy states tha Italy is anxious that the treaty b' signed as soon as possible and tha he feels sure Italy will rapidly off cially recognize the Soviet Govern ment of Russia.

 Japans position is being made clearer in news dispatches from Tokio, where, it is evident, fear ex- ists that Japan will find herself con fronting a bloc of European powers and America whose attitude will be to the detriment of measures to Japan has taken to strengthen her hold on China and the Far East. The inclusion of China in the list of nations asked to participate in the solution of the Far Eastern Ques- tions is not pleasing to Japan and suspicion is apparent in TokiO that France and Italy were invited to attend the conference in order to strengthen the case that the United States will present with reference to problems affecting the Orient and the future control of the Pacific ocean.
 President Harding still clings to the opinion that Armistice Day, No- vember II, will be the most suitable date for the opening session of the conference and it is supposed that his suggestion will be advanced to the participating governments in the preliminary conversations.

Seeking to Convince Japs.

HcChlllk tU OOIlvllCC J0vns
 Washington, July 6.--The Wash ington administration is seeking 10 convince Japan that she will not be placed at any disadvantage in the forthcoming conference on limita- tion of ramaments and Far Eastern problems.
 President Harding believes that Japan eventually will decide to par ticipate in both branches of the proposed conference and will agree to discuss Pacific and Eastern ques- tions with the other powers invited as well as the issue of reducing ornaments.
 Yesterday the cabinet considered Japan's response to the presidents invitation which was cordial ac- ceptance of the proposal to discuss ornaments, hut failed to agree to the second proposal that the inter national issues which make present. day expensive ornaments necessary be considered with view to gen. oT0l
 Following the cabinet meeting it was learned that exchanges are ill progress between the United states and Japan with reference to Japans implied objection to participating in a discussion of the Far Eastern and Pacific questions. Japan's posi- tion, however, has occasioned no delay in plans for the conference and the president expects to issue the formal call in the near future.
 Every aspect of the presidents proposal of conference of the five principal allied and associated pow CTS and China was considered at yesterdays session with particular reference to the attitude of Japan and indications that certain unin- vited nations having interests in the Far East would like to participate.
 There was general felicitation that the conference was assured in spite of the obstacle apparently raised by Japans position.
 Publicly, administration officials made no criticism of Japan's course, taking the view that the Japanese government was entirely within it's rights in seeking to ascertain the range of subjects that would be con sidered under the heading of Far Eastern and Pacific questions. It is said that the United States govern ment had informed Japan that as it is only one of the participating powers. it cannot undertake to define the limits of the conference pro- cedure. That determination, accord ing to the governments position. must he left to the participating governments when they meet in Washington.
 No objection exists on the part of this government to diplomatic ex- changes prior to the conference with view to agreeing in tentative way upon an agenda for the confer enee. It contends that there is nothing incomplete between the views of the United States govern ment and the desire of the Japanese government to ascertain the probable nature and scope of the conference and that in the course of events all these questions will be worked out by the several powers before

Senate Votes AZ to 29 to Send Measure Back to the Committee-All Dignity Laid Aside.

Washington, July 16.--ln one of the stormiest sessions witnessed in the Senate in years, the soldiers bonus bill was sidetracked indefinite ly, according to President Harding's desire, by a vote of AZ to 29.
 This action was followed by scenes of disorder and near violence never paralleled within the memory of the oldest senator. The dignfiied and august senate was transformed into a veritable madhouse, defying the efforts of Vice President Coolidge to restore order.
 Threatened fistcuffs, superheated epithets, a score of senators demand ing recognition at once, entangle- ments and cloudburst on the roof of the capitol. combined to create the almost unprecedented pande- monium.
 The chief belligerents were Sena- tor McCnmber of North Dakota. Re- publican; Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat, and Senator Robinson or Arkansas, Democrat. Only the most polished finesse on the part of peace making colleagues prevented Sena- tor McCumber and Senator Reed from engaging in fistic encounter The battle began when Senator McCumber, immediately following the vote on the bonus, took the floor to assure the senate that the bill would not remain sidetracked long He promised that it would be brought back again from the Fiji nance Committee during the present session.
 Democrats at once began to heckle the North Dakota senator. Then they tried to choke his speech, Senator Robinson making point of order against it on the ground that the bonus bill was no longer before the senator. He charged that Sena- tor McCumber was "using up the Senate's time trying to apologize for the vote on the bonus."
