Sharp Practice
Hit In Radio Talk
By Rockefeller

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-(P1-John
ID. Rockefeller, Jr., back from Wash
ington where he testified in the ser
ate's Teapot Dome investigation,
warned of sharp business practices
in a talk over the radio. He did not
mention the oil industry.
Mr.. Rockefeller. whose talk was
broadcast by station WIZ, listed in
tegrity, obedience to law, clean liv-
ing and loyalty as the four funda-
mental qualities underlying char
acter.
rs there any one Of them that can
be omitted or ignored without haz-
arding continuing business success y
he asked. ut is true that money is
often made by trickery and sharp
practice, but successful business is
not established on a foundation so
shifting.
"Regretfully must we admit" he
said, that instances are not lacking
Of corporations and individuals who
set themselves up as superior to law.
But when condemned as they are
sure to be in the court Of pubic
opinion, even the most worldly
minded is bound 10 ask himself does
it pay?' and TO admit that no bust
ness can be permanently successful
which is not law abiding"
He touched on violation of the GUS
toms laws by the rich and disregard
of the 18th amendment by those who
felt it an infringement of their per-
sonal liberty. Law is law" he con-
tinued, whether it affects personal
liberty, social well-being or business.
So long as it remains the law of the
land il should be obeyed. The alter
nate is anarchy"

looped 5I5 times, or 200 times more

DEADLOCK IN
MEET FEARED
Tariff, Interve ntion
Worry Pan-Ameri-
can Delegates

HAVANA, Feb. 13.-tP1-The Pan
American conference was faced with
prospects Of a deadlock today on two
questions-tariff and intervention.
Apparent conflict developed be-
tween advices from Buenos Aires
that the Argentine government was
understood to have instructed Dr.
Honorio Pueyrredon, head OF the Ar
g%entine delegation, not TO insist on
the inclusion Of an economic clause
IN the proposed Pan-American union
convention and the repeated an
nouncement Of DR.. Pueyrredon that
he would sign no convention that did
not embody this clause. This lent
special interest 10 a meeting Of the
committee on the Pan-AmerIcan
union summoned for today.
The convention to regulate future
activities on the union was on its
agenda. DR.. Pueyrredon wished to
have the clause under dispute in
serted in the preamble. At the last
meeting Of the committee it was
agreed TO consider first the actual
articles Of the treaty so as to allow
time for second thoughts and con-
sultation with home governments.
Before the committee went into
session today, however, Chairman
Enrique Olaya OF Colombia predicted
that consideration of the articles
would be completed during the ses-
sion and actual debate on the pre-
amble begun.
This afternoon the subcommittee
on public international law also was
scheduled to meet to combine all
views regarding Tho question Of in
tervention by one state in the inter-
nal affairs Of another.
Both DR.. Pueyrredon and DR.. Gus
tavo Guerrero Of Salvador announced
that in this meeting, which will be
held behind closed doors, they would
continue to uphold the complete and
unconditional prohibition of inter
v%ention which was recommended Al
the Rio Janeiro jurists,, conference.
