ers urging continued free entry and
redefinition in the law of newSprint
paper and various lumber interests
proposing a duty of rs per cent on all
classes of lumber. The lumber repre-
a duty on American manufactured lum-
Der while the United States permits that
country'S lumber OF this type to come in
free. Opposition to a lumber tariff also
was voiced.
Elisha Hanson of Washington, repre-
sentative Of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, told the commit
tee that the policy of admitting news
print free had been long established and
that his principal concern was over the
wording standard newsprint paper" in
the present law
He said there was no such article In
the trade and to eliminate confusion
in It's classification at the customs house
he suggested that the present phrase
ology be changed to printing paper,
excepting rotogravuere paper, for use in
the manufacture of newspapers"

 PLANS DISCUSSED
Dawes and Macdonald Not Ready to Announce Progress

London, July 17 P-While it was known today that conversations be- tween Ambassador Dawes and Prime Minister Macdonald concerning na- val ornaments have been progress ing to their mutual satisfaction, the time has not yet arrived when either the embassy or the govern ment wishes to take the public into its confidence.
 There has been no new official statement regarding the converse tions since the intimation of J. H. Thomas. lord privy seal, in an ad dress last Friday that they were proceeding ''Very we'll" He had nothing to say of prospects for the future.
 It was supposed here the ex- changes of views between the Am bassador and the premier might continue for some time before an announcement is made either in Washington or in London but the secrecy surrounding the meetings thus far had been an obstacle to ob- taining any real information.
 While it was stated here the con verSations had advanced to a point where the ambassador had made communications 10 Washington nothing could be learned as to tht tenor of those communications. Lon. don's political writers thus far have not haZarded even a guess.
