on hand and, should price-cutting
become serious. could afford to throw

An agreement between European syn
Ehetic producers and Chilean natural
producers was all but reached in Luz
xerne, Switzerland, during July. but the
Germans announced duty OF $50 ton
and q limit on the amount which could
be imported. Chilean producers did not
object to the duty, but could not agree
to the import limitations, and so the
IAlzerne Conference failed.
5 Negotiations Begun Again.
Negotiations began again among
European synthetic producers, most of
whom want to keep their powder sup
ply ready for war purposes and care
less about supplying reasonably priced
fertilizers to farmers. Now the Ger
sells Conference.
The result is expected to be a series
Of agreements among individual Euro
pean producers and further series of
agreements among European importers
and Chilean producers.
Restriction Of Imports.
The desire Of individual countries to
preserve expensive production for war
al
restricts imports to Europe. Germany
IS q large consumer and also q large
producer, which makes Germany q big
factor. The characteristics Of synthetic
and natural nitrates as fertilizer limit
their use in practice, so that q pro-
ducing country might find it desirable
to import.
1T is believed that the negotiations
will continue.

TOKYO, Dec. 24. (P)--An active engagement by Japanese forces and Chinese irregulars was reported to
 be in progress Wednesday in an area north of Mukden. No details as to the progress of the battle or casualties were received.
 A Chinese representative has told AriStide Briand of France, chair man of the League of Nations, that the Chinese at Chin Chow will do everything in their power to pre- vent the Japanese from .drlving them away from tiiis position.
 Briand became somewhat fluster- ed over this word as it may be taken that If the Chinese do not intend to withdraw and if the Japanese are determined to have the Chinese out of this area that 3 real battle will result.
 The Chinese force of irregulars at Chin Chow Is said to number 25,000. The number in the Japan csc force which Is converging to attack on Chin Chow Is not known.
 Japanese airplanes continued to drop bombs on stray groups of Chinese irregulars with a result that they have been driven out of many villages and towns which they occupied and the Japanese ground forces have advanced to oc- cupy the evacuated towns and will lages.
