SESSION ENDS
Countries Urged to Re-
consider Resigna-
tons Offered

GENEVA, March 10.-tPD-The
council Of the League Of Nations
wound up it's forty-ninth session to-
day after d~isposing of several ques-
tons and postponine others until the
next regular meeting in June.
League circles gave dominating in
terest to the urgent appeals which
were sent to Spain and Brazil to
reconsider their designations from
membership, and TO Costa Rica invit-
ing that republic to resume its place
In the organization.
The most important matters adj
journed until June were the incident
arising from the seizure OF a ma
chine gun shipment near st. Gotthard
and the claim for indemnity by Bull
garians residing in Transylvania ter
ritories that were given to Rumania
by the treaty Of Trianon. In the de-
bates on the latter question Nicholas
Titulescu, Rumanian foreign minis
ter. fought for the interests Of his
government inch by inch. His dis
satisfaction with proposals to add
two neutral judges to the tribunal
which is considering the claim, we're
so pronounced that rumors of his
resignation from office arose.

Why's and wherefore Of the depart

synchronized with a market collapse
estimated in some quarters to have
cost cotton growers more than $780,
100000, were sought by a senate sub
committee today from Lloyd s. Ten

the work.
Tenny had only started TO relate
the basis of the price trend bulletin
when adjournment was taken to
Monday, with w. L. Clayton. Of the
