HAVANA MEETING
 PUTS OFF TARIFF
Turns Today to Other Important
 Problems
Havana, Feb. Il R-With dis

Havana, Feb. II T-With dis cussion of the question of tariff barriers temporarily postponed, the conference today turned to an attempt to settle the other chief point of controversy -I the question of intervention.
 Determined not to delay further either agreement or definite dis agreement as to the extent of . na- tions independence. Charles Evans Hughes. head of the United States delegation. called 8 meeting this. morning of the special sub-commit- tee considering the fundamental rights and duties of nations.
 The subcommittee was under- stood to disagree on only one arti- cle of the report of Dr. Victor Maurtua of Peru. In this the ob- servance of the rights of other countries was apparently made the prerequisite to national indepen- dence.
 Various delegates including Dr. Honorio Pueyrredon of Argentina have attacked this as vague, insist ists' flat denunciation of interven- ton by one state ill the internal affairs of another,
 Dr. Pueyrredoh agreed yesterday to have discussion of the preambie of the Pan-American Union conven- tion postponed in the n-American Union committee while the commit tee passed on other matters. He said he did not abandon his previ- ous position. This was that the pre- amble should include provision stating that ''economic cooperation is an essential factor in Pan-Amer- icanism" and finally urging that all states propose to suppress unjus> obstacles and artificial and eXces- sive barriers which interfere with the natural flow and restrict the normal development of commerce."
 When press dispatches were re- ceived late last night saying the Argentine government had sent the Argentine delegation new instruc- tions Dr. Pueyrredon said he had not received any new instructions. He added it was impossible that Argentina should agree to any com promise which did not include his thesis.
 4 comprehensive system of tri bunals for the settlement of inter- national disputes is proposed in a report prepared by Dr. Ricardo Alfaro Panaman minister to Wash ington All devices for settling in- ternational quarrels are employed iR the project which cortemplates good offices, mediation, commissions of investigation. friendly compost tion and, finally. arbitration. The report upholds the principle of compulsory arbitration of all disputes. except those affecting the independence or any constitutional provision of state. In cases where dispute arises over the interpre- tation of the above exceptions. compulsory arbitration shall be re- sorted to to settle the issue.
 No single court or category of courts shall be established for the adjudication of disputes, but in- stead the interested parties shall be given wide choice in the type and actual creation of the court to suit their conveniences and the circum- stances of the case.
 Six types, from which the power invited to arbitration may choose | the one most suitable to the cir cumstances are proposed. They are:
 One-A single arbitrator selected by common agreement between the parties.
 Two-Three judges, one selected by each disputant and the third by common consent of the other two
 Three-A tribunal organized in any way which may appear mu- tually suitable.
 ! Four-A Pan-American court, should this ever be established. Five-The permanent court of | international justice at the Hague, generally known as the world court
