for. In reply to complaints the Soviet
trade representation proposed to local
manufacturers to hire their plants on
the condition that all necessary raw
materials and sen1i-manufactpres re-
quired in production will be supplied
by the Russians, who agree to pay a
certain price for every Unit or piece
thus manufactured.
These offers have been rejected BY
local manufacturers because OF feared
loss of control. One manufacturer said
Il would cease to master my plant

Soviets cancel the treaty? Who IN

but stable market which I would have

Industry Is Recovering
Latvian industry has been slowly re-
covering since its complete destruction
during the war. The treaty with the
Soviet Union has been concluded with
the man object of procuring new
market for Latvian manufactures.
Pessimism and optimism displayed in
this connection by local industrialists
nearly balanced. Now peSsimism grows
inasmuch as the treatment accorded by
the Soviets TO local industry invites
criticism. Soviet orders come in at ran
DOM Some industries especially adapted
10 Soviet orders have been idle for
months. Other industries are too small
to execute such orders during the time
stipulated by the trade representation.
Some lines of manufacture are
ignored Instead OF three months credit,
II months are required by the Rus
SLAMS. The expected benefits have
largely turned into diSorganization of
industry and general establishment.
The discount rate for Soviet notes at
times goes up to 35 or 40 per cent.

Latvia Finds Commercial Agreement
With Soviet Union None Too Profitable

RIGA.--Latvia. with a desire to be
friendly to its big neighbor the Soviet
Union, has completed three and one
half years out OF q five-year CONNER
cial treaty and now realizes the high
cost of friendship. Though one of the
smaller countries. Latvia's experience is

illusionment to which trade relations
may lead.
The Latvian-S Soviet Russian CONNER
cial agreement, which was concluded
after much heated argument in the
Summer of 1927 and became effective
November 5, 1927, in the main provides
for the purchase by the Soviet Union
of commodities from Latvia valued at
$7,830,000 annually. Latvia in its turn
granted the Russians preferential i'm
port rates over and above most favored
nation treatment tariff drawbacks rang
ing from Is to so per cent. During the
FIRST three treaty years these amounted
to $5l5,7 700, constituting per cent Of
the value of Latvian commodities
shipped to the Soviet Union.
Charge Against Soviets
The provisions of the treaty have
not been carried out by the Soviets.
1t is alleged in Latvian quarters AS
a matter of fact. Latvian exports TO
Russia under the provisions of the
treaty totaled during the first three
years $17.9o7, 600 in value as against
$23, 490. 900 provided for This leaves
an unshipped balan3e OF SIS, $50, 900,
equal to "a per cent The Soviet trade
representation in Riga claims that
orders to the value OF. sea, 470, 900 have
been placed during this period. But
this figure cannot be checked. The
Soviet trade representation has its own
bookkeeping and demands that its
figures must be trusted.
All attempts Of the Latvian author
tiles to have Soviet orders registered
have been rebnffed, the Soviets taking
refuge in the canceling clause incor-
porated in the treaty. Latvian manu-
facturers concerned do not disclose
their Soviet contracts either, tearing to
lose business. Thus the Latvtan au-
tnorities are still at a loss 10 verify
whether or not the treaty is carried out.
Outlook More Glaomy
The fourth year OF the treaty has
assumed a still gloomier aspect. As
far as can be ascertained, during the
first six months of the fourth year

ton believes TO be necessary. Hence,
our statement declared that, in order to
secure further progress means should
be sought TO strengthen the mutual
guarantees Of security and loyal observ-
ance for treaties. In addition to the
more familiar means to that end. we
made radical proposals concerning two
formidable aspects of modern warfare
namely, the air arm and the chemical
arm. We called for the international or
ganization of aviaticn under the aus
pieces OF the League of Nations in order
TO insure to the Council the best

vision and the prohibition of all prepa-
ration for chemical and meteorological
warfare"
Must Effect Equality.
These suggestions become of particu-
lar importance when read with the
fourth section Of the Budapest resolu-
tions. 1t is in the following terms:
1T is indispensable that the League
OF Nations should of3cially recognize the
principle of equality in disarmament
between the 'vanquished' and the vic
torious' powers and that the 1882 con-
ference must begin to effect such equal
ity.
This equality must not be attained
by increasing armament already re-
duced under the treaties. but by the
proporttonate reduction Of those or
other states.
In any case. the federation con-

siders that the principle Of limitation
and reduction of armament should be
the same for all states, and, conse-
quehtly, that,

limit the amount budgeted for its navy
army and air force
20 The prohibition of certain ma
terial, naval, land or air, enjoined in
the treaties should apply to all state
signatorieS to the convention;
3. The observance OF the obliga-
tons thus contracted by the states
should be insured by a permanent dis
armament commission established at
the seat of the League of Nations and
exercising its control equally over all
nations"
Each OF these paragraphs deserves q
word OF comment.
TIVE Glasses Impossible.
BY the first the broad principle of
equality is laid down. 1t is declared
that no special regime in the matter of
disarmament can be indefinitely main
tanned for particular countries. To most
people that win appear little more than
platitude. Apart from all other
considerations. how is 1t possible 10
have two classes of members of the
League Of Nations, one of which can
be trusted with unlimited armament,
while the other cannot? Such state
of things is contradictory to the funda-
mental conception of the League, and
can be tolerated only. as transitional
measure while the League disarmament
schemes are being worked out. The
resolution proposes that the first steps
toward equality should be taken at the
conference next year.
Second, it Is laid down that equality
must be aimed at by leveling down and
not by leveling up. We are about TO

Weakness at Liverpool Is
Another Factor in =
Decline.
By HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 17.-Hedgina
pressure and weakness at Liverpool
combined to depress wheat prices on
the Board of Trade today and this
close was sharply lower. There
was a lack of the aggressive buying
that characterized Thursdays trade
and the session was comparatively
slow.
A change in the weather situation
with prospects for cooler tempera-
lures over most of the corn belt
carried prices down almost 2 cents
at one time. Oats followed corn
lower. There was a small rally at
the close but prices failed to recover
the early losses in any pit.
Close Is Weak
AT the close wheat was u to q
cent lower, corn was IL to 21s cents
lower, and oats were Is cent down.
Provisions were steady to strong.
Liverpool continued weak and
closed 4 to Il cent lower. The
northwest was clear and hot and
lacked moisture despite some rains
overnight. The forecast is for
thunder showers. Cash prices were
unchanged to Y cent lower. Re-
ceiptS were 602 cars.
The forecast for cooler weather
and some scattered showers over
the belt brought pressure on corn
during the morning and prices fell
a full rs to IA cent by mid
session with December leading the
way down. There was little dis
position to rally early. Commission
houses took December on the de~
cline and cash interests sold July.
Heat Damages Corn
Temperatures well above 100 de-.
greeS we're reported in many Sec
tons Of the belt and the situation
is such that severe damage might
enSue if the heat continues and rain
Is not forthcoming. Cash prices were
unchanged to II cent lower. Re-
ceiptS were 95 cars.
Oats lost a fraction at the start
and followed corn down to show
a loss of 4 cent to Is cent at mid
morning. Trade was light and with
out feature, the weather being the
principal factor. Cash prices were
unchanged to Il cent lower. Re-
ceipts were 20 cars.
