The French leaders l9-year-oId

Grandi, who is but a few years old

are keeping a proper silence con
corning both.
To Mile. JoSette has gone the
center Of discussion because Of re-
ports she won her own way TO the
trip over the first grumbling OPP
position to her father.
Too. by those who know her, she
Is pictured as a typically vivacious
French girl, as attractive in the
saddle or the drawing room as she
is able IN her law studies; a girl
who knows what she wants and
loses no time in getting ii.
Both she and Signora Grandi are
likely to be received or entertained
at the White House, If they come.
The latter speaks English f,uently
as does Mile. Josette, and is noted
for her beauty.

Miss Ishbel Macdonald, the Brit

found a full official program and
opportunity to visit a modern school

Although Nile. Laval would have
no official rank. she probably would
be accorded ceremonious courtesies.

CONFEDERkTES'
SHRINE URGED

With the tacit approval of the
War Department, a project to
create in Arlington Cemetery q

crate dead appears to be an
early probability although many
details will need to be y. worked
out before the plan will become
a reality, according to Col. Rob-
ert Lee Longstreet. U. s. Army
Reserves, son of the famous Con-
federate leader. Gen. James
Longstreet.
The present small plot in the
national cemetery for the burial
of Confederate soldiers would be
expanded by the setting aside Of
an. unassigned and picturesque
strip adjacent to the proposed
tri-hero corner to memorialize
three Southern generals-Lee,
Pickett and LongStreet.
When the plan is finally put
into operation a spacious site
would be available for the burial
and re-burial of those who served
in the "lost cause" 1t will be

Barred Jurors Poetic Plea

Trickery in Its Dealings on
Narcotic Ban Revealed As
Manufacturers Are Aided

GENEVA, March 80 U.S).
Trickery of the League of Nations
In dealing with the opium ques.
ton threatens to wreck the Mar
cotics Limitation Conference here
in May, it became apparent today.
Pursuing it's policy of protecting
the profits of the opium interests,
the League obviously is maneuver
ing to place the conference. which
the United States will attend, at
the mercy of European drug man
ufacturers.
Must Be Ratified
These manufacturers, whose
factories have been pouring tons
Of drugs into the illicit traffic,
are seeking to nullify the fight Of
consuming countries to smash the
dope rings.
The latest League trick is dis
covered in an article Of the draft
convention which has been pre-
pared by the Opium Advisory
Committee for the conference
The article declares that pro-
visions of the convention shall
not come into force until ratified
by all the exporting or manu-
featuring countries.
Such a procedure, antinarcotic
leaders point out, would enable
q manufacturing country, no
matter how small, to block the
will of the nations victimized by
dope trafficking, and Illustrate
effective limitation of drug man
ufacture.
BIudgeOn Is Favored
Representatives of victim coun-
tries favor a reversal of the pro-
cedure. They want the conven.
ton to come into force on a
fixed date. A nation which did
not adhere within the prescribed
time limit would be considered an
OUTLAW" Traffic in narcotics
with outlaweG nations would be
prohibited so long as they re-
mained outside the limitation
program.
The time, has come, antinar-
cotic leaders assert, to bludgeon
the manufacturers who supply
the illicit traffic and not to con-
tinue to coddle them.
