of the relations between various
countries of Europe and Latin
America, especially concerning mi
grafton and commercial matters
is indicated by reports reaching
the international labor office.
The monthly record of migration
gives prominence to the fact that
Italy has ratified the commercial
treaty with Guatemala. BY this
the citizens of the two countries
who settle OF render in she terri
tory of the other, are entitled to
carry on commerce, industry. or
trade, without having TO pay any
other taxes than those imposed on
the nationals of the most favored
nation, and enjoy the same rights
as the latter in the domain of com
merce and trade.
1t is recorded also. that the Ar

compensation with Jugoslavia, this
being in addition to similar agree
ments made with other European
emigration countries, like Austria,

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-For the
first time in Wall Streets mem
DRY the time honored mystery of
a financial struggle has been
abandoned and the public given
a peep at two titans of industry
in moral combat.
The outcome of Col. Robert W.
Stewards fight to retain control
of Standard Oil of Indiana in the
face of active opposition from
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., will re-
main in doubt until the proxies
are poiled at the annual meeting
March 7, but the public has been
granted spectators privileges at
the preliminary proceedings. As
is natural, the public is taking
a keen and, at times, active in
terest in these proceedings.
The alarums and excursions Of
former financial trays have been
deliberately shielded from the
light of day. Stealth was thought
necessary to the strategy of the
Canadian interests which bobbed
up one day with control of Inter
national Nickel. Arthur F. Cut
ten apparently kept his eyes
averted from Baldwin Locomo-
tives until control was in his
pocket. But those were actual
struggles for stocks.
