RENO, Nevada, May 27.-Nevada s
repitediy liberal-minded voters turn out
at precinct mass meetings today to ex-
press themselves on proposed repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment.
From Reno. in the northwest, across
the State TO Ely, EASTERN copper camp,
and south to Las Vegas near Boulder
Dam. a repeal wave was predicted by
most observers.
The prediction was based on three
to-one popular vote of few years ago
in favor of repeal resolution directed
to Congress by the Legislature and the
fact the State removed its own prohibl-
ton laws in 1928.
Most of the mass meetings are set
for 7:30 pm. This, combined with the
widely scattered locations of towns Is
expected TO make returns from the
precincts late.
Delegates selected will attend county
conventions June 10. The county con-

be permitted.
The British find themselves in di-
lemma. wanting higher prices in, the
dominfOns but not wanting a general
rise Of the price level In England. fear
ing that this latter would increase
wages and other manufacturing costs
and make 1t impossible to sell English
goods on the continent in competition
with German and other manufacturers.
Some Advocate Imitation.
Higher prices Of raw materials in the
DOminions naturally help British ex-
ports to those countries.
But If sterling were to keep up to
the level of the franc while the Do
minions reduced the value Of their cur
rencies along with the dollar, it would
make the price of British manufactured
goods excessively high to the Domin-
ions.
Some British quarters, particularly
among induStrialiSts, are reported to be
urging adoption Of the American in
f1atiOnary plan, but the London bank
ing fraternity points out that this
probably would have serious financial
repercuSSions on the continent. It
might push some smaller countries off
gold and result in embargoeS against
British goods and cause general chaos
in European currencies, they say.
In important conference quarters, 1t
Is felt that some showdown on this
point must come soon, revealing which

out Of the country of American gold,
which would defeat the purpose of the
gold embargo
A scheme has been drawn up in Lon
don by the representatives OF France,
Great Britain and some of the finan-
cial experts Of the United States where
by pool should be formed. with each
bank Of issue putting up 100000 900, to
guarantee each country against losses
caused by the huctuation of the pound,
the dollar and the franc.
The scheme was a complicated one
Tor the laymen. but the essence of it
was that at the end Of each month
the three banks would exchange state
ments which would show the losses or
gains incurred by each member from
the appreciation or the depreciation Of
the three currencies.
Based on Average.
An agreement would have been reached
to fix certain value to each Of the
three currencies. taking an average of
the last few weeks as the fixed rate Of
exchange.
Whatever differences occurred in the
course Of q month either by the dollar
the franc and the pound going up or
down, would have had to be made good
by each member Of the group to the
other two. In the end. it is said, there
could have been no loss for any of the
three members. The proposal was some
what complicated, and in fact it could
not have brought a permanent stabili-
zation. The Federal Reserve Board,
after consulting the White House,
cabled the American delegation in Lon
don that the idea was not acceptable.

, LONDON, July 13-With the World
Economic Conference apparently draw
ing to an inclusive close. the United
States is inaugurating efforts to tighten
trade bonds with individual nations,
particularly neighborS in the Western
Hemisphere.
1t was learned authoritatively today
that behind the scenes OF the confer
ence quiet diplomacy is opening the
way for negotiating a series of trade
agreements when Secretary of State
Cordell Hull and his colleagues returr
to Washington.
The first of these is expected to be
with Argentina. Canada. Mexico and
Various Latin American nations will
probably follow. Japanese delegate,
also have approached Mr. Hull on tne
subject
j. One of the features of the parley has
been the close and friendly cooperation
of countries of North and South Amer
ica. This friendship may be continued
with the sending of a high Government
Official TO Montevideo. Uruguay. for a
commercial conclaVe in December.
Conversations Progress.
Speaking unofficially one delegare
expressed the belief that the Western
Hemisphere and the Orient constitute
the best commercial field for develop
ment by the United States at least for
the present.
Preliminary conversations of Thomas
A. lie Bretop, Argentine Ambassador to
FMnce and former envoy to Washing
ton. and members of the American dele
cation here are said to have progressed
80 well that the actual framing of a
Treaty can soon begin.
This, 1t is expected. may be handled
Through Felipe A. ESpil, Argentine Am
fbasSador to Washington. although a
trade expert may be sent to the United
sStates from Buenos Aires.
While the products which might be
zncluded in such an agreement have
hot definitely been determined. the OBJ
Fsct OF the projected pacts would be to
freate a mutually profitable increase
an the exchange of goods, mainly nom
competitive. Reciprocal tariff conces-
Bions would be involved.
AS the United States administration
failed to put tariff bargaining bill
fhTough the last Congress, the treaties
would require submission to Congress
before they could become effective, un-
acss changes could be made under the
a1exible tariff provision of the present
sav.
Canadian delegates to the conference
were said to have talked about empire
fraoe and curTencies with representa-
Hives of the United Kingdom and other
G0miniOnS.

agreement regarding steps to bolster
