WAGE EILL KILLED

WASHINGTON, Nov. Gu. P.)-
Minimum wage legislation was dealt n
severe blow when Judge Van Orsdell,
district court appeals, declared un-
constitutional law passed by con-
gress fixing the minimum amounts to
be paid women and minors in the ma
tons capital. The law was considered
an opening wedge for fixing minimum
wages throughout the nation. The
Judge said a constitutional amendment
only could legalize such legislation.

Americas Rejection
of Hague Invitation
Made in Second Note
BY international News Service.

The United States transmitted
two "replies" to the powers at
Genoa with respect to the invita-
ton to participate in the inquiry
into Russian affairs, it was learned
officially today.
The first was in response to
what was described as an "infor-
NAL feeler" by France, asking
whether the United States would
participate in an inquiry conducted
by experts. The reply of this Gov
ernment was favorable, and it was
upon this communication that press
correspondents at Genoa sent out
word that America accepts"
Later, when the formal invitation
came through, it was found that
what was proposed was in reality
a continuation of the Genoa CON
ference at The Hague, and the re-
sponse from the United States was
prompt and unfavorable.
This miXup, it was learned today,
accounted for Ambassador Richard
Washburn Child at first informing
the powers that the United States
would participate.

committed. Leon Trotzky. a com.
missioner for war in the Soviet gov
ernment, declared today in an ex-
elusive interview with Interna tlonal
News Service. He said that Russia
Is anxious to enter into com.
mercial agreement with the United
States.
"It looks as though Genoa prob
ably will result in failure" said the
military leader But regardless Of
the outcome, Russia will carry out
all the international obligations to
which she is committed. Russia
will assure guarantees for private

Asked il Americans would receive
special consideration in Siberia to
counteract Japanese activities IN
that country. Trotzky answered:
"1n view OF the large resources in
the United States, Russia is most
interested in reaching an economic
understanding with that country.
American expansion in Russia may
be OF a commercial or industrial
nature. Japanese expansion tries to
preserve its violent military charac!,

that the allied plan for two commits

himself the task of expounding the

The British premier then addressed
Tchitcherin directly, saying:
Great Britain does not believe in
intrigue. The British fought the
bolsheVist revolution quite openly.
They never intrigued against it when
open intervention in Russia stopped.
THE British empire wants the
non.aggression pact to apply 20

"lf Premier Lloyd George and the

aspirations OF the capitalists. It is
quite possible that we would negoti.

Great Britain and Italy"

tente. Asked as TO the real meaning
of the treaty the war commissnr
responded:
Decry Talk Of Secrecy.
Germany is separated from the
soviet by the same difference In
the property system as the entente
countries. This excludes the pos
sibility OF the Rapallo treaty being
considered in the light OF de-
fensiVe or aggressive union to
counterhalance the other states OF
Europe. The Rapallo agreement
means the reestablishment OF eco
nomic relations. But Russia Is
ready to sign similar agreements
with other countries. Talk about
secret military agreement is pure
humbug"
While telling of Russia's desire
TO reduce her army, Trotzky was
asked his opinion as to the posi-
bility Of another war through in
tervention in Russia by outside
powers. He replied:
'porannallu do hoIso,,.
there Is any possibility OF such in.
tervention with resultant warfare.
However, we have ample proof that
ter-revolutionists are attempt
ing to unite the imperialistic ele-
'1ents in Poland. Rumania, and

Arrest, and Belgrade that common

KING SCORES POLICY
AS "IMPERIALISTIC"

The foreign policy OF the Admins
tration was severely criticised today
in a statement issued by Senator
King Dem.D OF Utah.
II am afraid" King said, that the
narrow and illiberal domestic policies
of the Administration are beirg car
ried into the foreign field. The four
power treaty was not in the line OF
liberalism and world democracy. 1t
was rather provocative of distrust
upon the part OF some nations who
regarded the policy as imperialistic.
King said the Latin-Amerlcsn n.
countries could not justify the
American occupation Of Haiti and
San Domingo, and assailed the Ad-
ministration's policy toward the
Philippine Islands and China as in
dicative OF it's ''imperialistic trend"
