GENEVA, February 1.-THE Amer
lean Government notified the League
of Nations secretariat through the Bern
legation yesterday that the United
States would not participate In the In
ternational conference for tariff truce
beginning at Geneva February II. but

a view to obtaining information re-
garding developments of the confer
ence."
This conference will seek an agree
ment whereby states engage not to in
crease the levels of existing tariffs or
create new customs duties during a
period of two to three years. The
Assembly's resolution of last September
recommended establishment, if neces-
sary, of a program of subsequent nego-
tiations for facilitating economic rela-
tons by all practicable means and es-
pecially by reducing hindrances to
trade"
While League authorities were dissap-
pointed that the United States would
not participate, they were pleased that
the American Government would at
least keep in touch through an OBJ
server.

Kreuger & Toll

Both stocks and bonds are listed and
dealt in actively on the New York Stock
Exchange although in different depart
ments of that exchange. There are,
however, one or two securities which
it is difficult to classify. They partake
of the nature of both stocks and bonds.
One of these is an international issue,
known as Kreuger & Toll American
certificates representing participating
debentures. This particular security is
treated as stock in that it is quoted
in the stock table, but primarily it is
a bond.
The corporation which is an invest
ment and financing organization inter-
ested in match and building industries,
including the Swedish Match Co. and
International Match Corporation, with
headquarters at Stockholm, Sweden, has
outstanding an issue of participating
debentures. These debentures are senior
to the ordinary stock, which is of two
classes. Like bonds, which they are,
they come in coupon form and they pay
interest, not dividends, at the rate of
per cent annually.
But here is the departure from the
typical bond; these debentures are en-
titled to additional interest at the rate
of l per cent for each ! per cent by
which the dividend paid or declared on
the ordinary shares in any fiscal year
exceeds per cent. If the dividend on
the ordinary shares is 6 per cent, the
bond pays per cent. If the dividend
is, as at present Is per cent, the inter-
est is IS per cent.
Note also that these debentures, unlike
most bonds, have no maturity date al
though they are redeen1able. In this
respect they resemble preferred stocks
Now, the participating debentures
themselves are not traded in on this
side. The quotation represents the price
of the American certificates" against
which the original bonds have been de-
posted with the American bankers for
the corporation. Although the techni-
cal situation is somewhat involved, the
security itself as it is bought and sold in
the United States gives investors and
SPECTATORS opportunity to interest them
selves in one Of the greatest industrial
and financial enterprises outside OF
America.

fore the House expenditures commit

members of President Hoover's cabinet.
All we're agreed the sums of from
$500 to $4,000 now paid these Of

command in commercial fields. Under
the bill urged by them the solicitor

a year, while other assistant secre-
taries would be paid $4,000.

HOLLYWOOD, April 5. = Harry Langdon is taking his first support ing role since he became a star comedian.
 It's in Come Easy, the first origi- nal screen story by Vina Delmar, the novelist, wherein Harry is surrounded by a cast which in- cludes Jean Hersholt and Lotti Loder, the foreign importation.
 Langdon fluked as star of fea- ture-length comedies few years ago, and after a turn in vaudeville, returned to Hollywood to talk in two-reel Hal Roach funnies, with Thelma Todd as his leading lady Whether the comic will return to Roach is problematical.
 Fighting It Over
 The movies appear to follow the same trends as literature, at least in the matter of war stories and plays.
 The year has brought an abun- dance of plots centering about the turmoil of 15 years ago, and the screen has taken most of them.
 Journeys End, All Quiet, The Sky Hawk, Sergeant Grischa, and Flight are a few of the movie dra- matizations of the clash and latest to be projected is Beyond Victory, in which studio plans to use prac- tically all it's stars-a novel depar- ture.
 High Flying
 Incidents in the making of movie thrillers prove that the air, all things considered. is the safest place for the aviator. :.
 It. Ira Reed, stunt aviator, has survived numerous thrilling aerial escapades for years, and yet, stand ing on the ground during a re- cent location trip for an air talkie, he suffered a dislocated shoulder when a camera parallel struck him.
 And Al Wilson, the pilot who es- Fcaped with his life when the plane he was guiding for another war picture crashed some months ago, earlier on in the same picture, took parachute leap from falling ship and landed safely on Holly wood roof,-only to be injured when he toppled off.
