ping of the naval station on Guam.
Much fuss had been made about
Guam in the Conference. The
japanese could not see why the
United States wanted that naval
base. In the future all was to be
harmony between the four Powers
that were about to enter into q
League of the Pacific. Guam,
therefore. seemed to be utterly out
Of place.
As usual. the Japanese had the
backing Of their British friends.
However, 1t did occur to the
American delegation finally that
scrapping Guam might be consid.
cred going a little too far. So
aaum stayed on the map.
The question Of naval base,
may vet break the back Of the
conference, even before the SEN
ate looks at the treaties about 70

PARIS, Feb. 4.

NF interest to American collec-
tors and dealers is the new
French law on the exporta-
ton Of works of art which re.
places the 1920 law, much criti.
cized, forbidjing such expectation.
As a result Of the 1920 law art
auctions in Paris became deserted
by American dealers. many OF
whom moved their offices to Brus-
sells and London, and Paris lost It's
reputation as center OF the art
auction world, held since the
Second Empire. The new law Is
calculated to remedy this state Of
affairs.
In substance the new legislation
is as follows:
Article 30. The law Of August
81, 1890, forbidding the exporta.
ton abroad Of objects OF art is
hereby abrogated.
Article 81. Excluded from the
exoheration provided in Article II
Of the law Of June Is, 1920, and
subject therefore to the tax Of 10
per cent edicted by Articles SO and
63 of that law, affairs applying to
the sales by antiquaries on their
own account Of curiosities, an
tiquities, old books, furniture and
objects of collection, also sales Of
paintings. pastels. designs, original
sculpture, engravings and old
stamps.
