WIRE SERVICE PACT
Refuses to Sign Inter-Ameri-

The United States has refused to
adhere to the convention signed by
most of the Central and South Amer

Electrical Communications Conference

The convention, however, does not

delegation against signing the pact,
expressed hope that, in the meantime,

establish regulation governing radio
communication in the light of deyel-
opments made since the London
agreement was reached in 1912.
A number of objections to the Mex

Quoted by various government agen-
cies, since all would have to be placed

conflict with the policy of the United
states to encourage private enter

Objection also is raised to submits

ton and acceptance in advance of
service regulations left to be worked
out later, and to obligations for Off

The United States further declined

Vldes that service regulations, which
would have the same force as the

ARABLE AREA DROPS.
253, 1000 Acres Less in England
and Wales.

LONDON, August 13.-The agricul-
tural return for England and Wales
shows that the arabic area has fallen
off by 253,000 acres, and the perma-
nent grass area increased by $4,000,
as compared with 1928. The area of
arabic land is now practically the
same as in 1914
The area under wheat again showed
substantial decline. This years
decrease of 10000 acres brings the
area of this crop to the lowest figure
since 1904. Part Of the reduction this
year probably is attributable to un-
favorable weather conditions at seed
ing time last autumn. Barley showed
a relatively small decline of 1000
acres. while oats and mixed corn in
creased respectively by $1,000 and
$4,000 acres. The total area Of the
big three cereals, including mixed
corn. was 5.o32,o00 acres. being 10000
acres less than in 1923.
