The attempt of the Federal Trade

act Of Congress, to investigate private

Justice Smith, in an opinion, enjoined
the Federal agency from executing
subpoenas directed to the Millers' Ma,

The subpoenas were issued last
Spring, shortly before the announce
ment that the commission would hold
hearings to find out about the baking
and milling industry, particularly
with respect to the cost of the bread
to the consumer.
After holding two hearings on in
junction petitions filed by the milers,
Justice Smith, in his memora ndum
opinion, says that the federation is
entitled to All injunction to prevent

which were ordered produced by the
subpoenas, and administers a rebuke

Such a publication or revelation
constitutes an intrusion on the pri

of constitutional rights for which the

from that 1t follows that the interven

Courts, it is true, will not issue
injunctions against administrative
officers of the Government on the mere
apprehensions that they will not dc
their duty according to law, but ad
ministrative officers must keep within
the statute in the exercise of then

HELD OVEREMPHASIZED
Speech Seen as Washington Move
for Genuine Conference of
Powers Next Year.
BY. A. X. DECKER.

BY Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
GENEVA, September 22.-The pre-
paratory conference studying the pos
sibilities of disarmament met today
in the glass room of the League of
Nations palace and admitted it was
tied into knots which perhaps never
will be untangled.
The American delegation. headed by
Hugh Gibson, American Minister to
Switzerland participated in the de-
bates. Mr.. Gibson spoke. pointing out
Americas sincere wish some day to
participate in a genuine conference
leading to reduction in armaments
He called the attention of the other
delegates to the work of the subCOm-
mittee charged with a study of the
technical features of the reduction of
armaments, which has been occupy
ing itself with political and economic
questions, thus leading to confusion.
Wants Actual Agreements.
1.-The preparatory commission" said
Mr. Gibson, adopted the laboratory
method of studying steps toward dis
armament. We seek to lay the fOun-
dation for actual agreements. The
American delegation feels that the
committe has approached the prob
lem from the political and economic
point of view. thus leading to con
fusion.
"The present meeting offers an
opportunity to remedy the situation.
1--WE submit that subcommittee
"A considered the effect of political
and economic factors, although this
was the work or other bodies. and
that IT adopted majority views or
minority views with the majority
abstaining. This divergent view was
not recorded.
1--WE propose that the subcommit-
tee be requested to answer all un-
answered points. recording the dt-
vergent views. reporting all opinions
and leaving out all political and eco
nomic considerations"
FavOrs Farley Next Year.
The main conference on disarma
ment already has adopted report
proposing a conference before the
next meeting of the League As
sembly eff it is not materially i'm
possible" 1t seems to be the task
of the preparatory commission to
supply the ammunition for deter
mining the fate of the phrase ''if
not materially impossible"
General opinion at Geneva is that
there still is great opposition to the
reduction of armaments. MIR. Glib
sons proposals were designed to bring
the conference back to the purpose
for which it was called. and try to
produce tangible results despite the
opposition of many states which have
not the slightest intention of disarm-
ing unless forced into a position be-
fore the world where they are shown
to be Obstructing disarmament.
Thus. Mr.. Gibson called for the
recording of all viewpoints. even if
divergent, to show which states were
opposing disarmament. and to shake
the conference into action and provide
preparatory report which will not
give the main committee an excuse
to postpone the conference on the
ground of material impossibility.
Assisting Mr.. Gibson are Rear Ad-
mtral Hilary p. Jones, Gen. Dennie
Nolan, Capt. Adolphus Andrews and
numerous lesser figures.
