NATIONS ARRAYED
ON TARIFF RIGHTS
Canadian Delegate Urges
League Be Not Used by
European Producers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 27.-Conflicting
interests of European agricultural coun-
tries as against non European agricul-
tural producers clashed in the League
of Nations Assembly Economic Com
mittee today.
A division arose during consideration
of the resolutions of the Warsaw con-
ference which wished the League to
approve of a plan for preferential tar
IFS in European states for European
agricultural products. Poland and the
Danubian countries were ranged against
Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa, which latter group
opposed any approval in the Economic
Committees report of the Warsaw move.
League Functions Question.
I'VE do not challenge the right Of
groups of states to negotiate special
tariffs" said Walter Riddell, the Cana
dian delegate, but we insist that the
League itself shall not be used by any
group to further its interests at the ex-
pense of another country or group"
Mr.. Riddeil previously had stated that
If the League undertook to execute the
Warsaw proposal for European prefer
entail rates, it would be acting to shut
out America, Canada and other over
seas countries from free competition
in European markets.
The Polish and Rumanian delegates
were very emphatic in opposing an
amendment offered by the British do
minions to reflect their view in the
committees report to the assembly.
They said they feared this might place
the assembly on record as opposed to
the negotiation Of group preferential
rates.
Miss Susan Lawrence, British dele
gate, interviewed to offer a solution in
the form of an amendment which
should record the position of both sides
without committing the League to either
position. The issue was referred to a
subcommittee for adjustment
Amendment Is Offered.

condemned as an unhealthy practice"
by the Economic Committee in a re-
port submitted today by its reporter,
Giuseppe de Michelis of Italy.
No mention was made of the Soviet
union or Of any other country. 1.-THE
committee cannot fail to be disturbed
by the alarming proportions which
dumping has reached recently" the re-
port said, but prefers once more to
condemn this unhealthy practice"

Any of the hills may hide other ruins,

posed. Archeologists are still at work
all around, and have many years of
work ahead of them. They have dug
out the graves where lions were kept
for the Christians.
They have found busts of Hadrian
and OF Scipio Africanus, who founded
the place. They are concentrating now
on urearthing the remains Of the vii

beautiful mosaic floors, fountains and
baths. Much reconstruction work Is
necessary to reassemble the floor mo-

the old Roman splendor must have
been here.

ordered.
In room nearby Mrs. Archey's only
child, Basil, 8 years old, lay sleeping,
unframed by the deadly gas fumes.

no relatives in Washington. Her chief,
Mr.. Williams, said she was separated
from her husband.

Mrs. Archey had suffered from heart
trouble.

to by materials for breakfast found in
the kitchen, had gotten up between 8
and o'clock to prepare breakfast.
They believe that as she prepared to
light the gas she suffered fainting at
tack and fell to the floor, leaving the

deadly fumes into the small kitchenette.

was found closed.

the George Washington University Law
School and during her service with the
Shipping Board has made an enviable
position for herself.
Mr.. Williams offered to take the child
to his own home to await the arrival of
its grandparents, but police decided il
was better to have the child at the
Receiving Home, for short while, at
least.

OF wheat through its Chicago office on
order OF All-Russian and that during
August 1T had sold short 700 bales Of
cotton for the same syndicate.

made In an effort to depress the wheat
market.
IF it was an effort to depress the
market" Bache said, ut would not
have been done in America, which is
the broadest market in the world"
BIames Government Reports.
The short sales made by All-Russian
had but q minor effect on the market,
Mr.. Bache said, the market being af-
fected principally by Government re-
ports.
The idea Of the Russians was to fix
a price for their future product, he
said.
Under questioning by Mr.. Fish he
admitted that his company did not re-
port the short sales to the grain futures
supervisor, although the law requires
that the sale of 100000 or more bushels
must be reported.
He said the Chicago office CUSTOM
arily makes such reports and that the
New York ONCE reports sales only when
requested to do so. letter which
he said told him it was not necessary
for him to report the sales in question:
was introduced into the record.
Returning to the cotton sales, Mr..
Fish asked him the size of the largest
consignment of cotton sold and he
said it was $500 bales Date Of the
sale was not given. He said his Arm

ganized in the United States in 1928 to
act as buying agent for Russian trusts,
