contain direct reference to the reduc-
ton or abolition of excessive tariffs III

III, TO approve virtually only the word
irg OF the draft treaty, since the lnol-

ae.bie around which the dispute ragged
between Pueyyredon and the other

growing oonciliation in their economic
interests"
The convention does not alter
materially the present organization OF
the Pan-American Union. but merely
places 1t. If finally ratified BY all the
q countries. upon a firmer treaty
basis. instead OF letting ii rest, as here
tofore, upon mere unanimous resolu-
ton of the Pan-America Congress.
The only important innovations II
the convention are the right OF ali the
American republics to appoint special
representatives On the governing board
Of the union. and provision where

SOCIALISTS MAY

Officials Believe WEVD to
Continue BroadCasting.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 10. = In
formed officials said today they be-
lieved radio station WEVD, operated
in New York in memory of Eugene
v. Debs, would be permitted to con-
tinue broadcasting.
WEVD is one OF 1874 smaller sta
tons which the Federal radio COM
mission has treatened to close I'M
less they can show their continued
operation is in the public interest.
Norman Thomas, Socialist candi-
date for President, and others, have
fought in the stations behalf, de-
claring the issue concerned the
right Of free speech by radio. They
are believed to have won, although
the commission has given no formal
decision.
The commission will devote an
other week to completing its hear
ings on 107 stations which pro-
tested the order, and after that will
probably announce a number of re-
ALLEGATIONS, to allow some of the
successful smaller stations to con-
tinue without interfering with other
stations.
It is believed that perhaps thirty
to fifty Of the 164 stations will be re-
licensed shortly before Aug. l.

and provisions showing, &c to 12c de-

More than &c a bushel drop in wheat
values took place from the days top
level. Closing prices were eat virtually
the bottom figures reached. Observers
differed as to whether the action of
the stock marke5. today or the bearish
sentiment resulting from discussion of
the grain market outlook by a lead
ing operator was chiefly responsible
Earlier, the entire list of grain prices
had been showing an upward trend,
helped by advices that transatlantic
wheaat import needs have been seri-
ously under-e estimated.
Selling pressure broadened out rap
idly, however, on the price upturns in
the wheat market. Meanwhile, export
demand for North American wheat ap-
parently came to standstill, although
there were intimationS that the Can
adian growers pool had sold consider
able wheat abroad direct. On the
other hand, notice was taken of heavy
Argentine exports of wheat larger both
than last week and a year ago. Buying
power today in the wheat future de-
livery pit here was poor after the
break in aprices, the market showing
the effect of recent buying on the part
of traders who previously had been
sellers.
Corn and oats gave way with wheat
and stocks. There were assertions
that corn territory east of Chicago was
underselling this market.
Provisions reflected a sharp setback
in hog values together with LARGER ar
rivals of hogs than for any time in
about a year. &
