Germany has notified the State
Department of its willingness to
make a new treaty of friendship
and commerce with this country,
it was learned today.
The new new treaty has been
necessitated by Germany's action
in denouncing the most-favored-
nation trade clause of the old
treaty.
This clause was included in the
general treaty of friendship and
commerce and its denunciation
also would terminate the entire
treaty next october Is. Unless a
new treaty is concluded by that
time, commercial relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many would be practically sus-
pended.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
suggested to Germany early this
month that a new treaty be made.

On a vote that simultaneously
rejected the Administrations

this afternoon adopted the Vim

cash payment of adjusted serv-

preparation for $2,263,5 45,OOO to
pay off the bonus certificates
in cash.
The vote was not final, since
it was taken on a choice be-

by the American Legion and the
Harrison bill, which was said to
have the Presidents blessing.

here Monday to discuss establish

The session will be the first Of
the committee named recently by

While Justice officials are leav-

A major objective is establish

be available for State and mu-

other big job of the institute
