u. 5. COLOMBIA
SIGN TREATY

Signing of a reciprocal trade
agreement, based on most favored
nation treatment, by the United
States and Colombia, was seen
yesterday as a wide step forward
in commercial development in
South America.
Secretary Hull was also pleased
to learn that the Brazilian con"
gress' discussions OF the Brazilian
United States trade agreement
had brought only expressions Of
courteous and friendly regard for
North America.
These trade agreements were
the first to be negotiated after the
Administration started on its pro
gram of foreign commercial devel
opment. Ratification by Brazil
was held up because of domestic
politics, and the Colombian treaty
was delayed until it was made
fairly certain that Brazil would
ratify, since both undertakings
were concerned primarily with
coffee.

Danvi||e in Hot Fight
Over Issue Of Bonds
For Power Projeci

DANV1LLE, Va, Sept. 49,
With the halfway mark reached
in Danville's campaign on the
subject of a $1,513, 900 PWA bond
issue, the power question is being
freely discussed. wherever tax
payers get together.
With proponents and opponents
making conflicting claims, an in.
telligent forecast cannot be given
at this time, but in view of the
interest and realization by both
sides that every vote will count,
an unprecedented vote is ex-
pected.
C. Gilmore Holland, allied with
the opponents, who believe that
for half a million dollars Dan
vile can revamp the present
steam plant and keep the munich
pal plant at home, went on an
expedition to Washington. The
purpose of his mission was not
revealed, but it is believed to
have had to do with one de-
batable issue of the campaign
whether or not the Government
will guarantee to take the bonds
at par if they cannot be sold at
a premium on the market.
The proponents have said they
would have, within a few days"
a written agreement undertaking
to do this, but no such paper has
been received and the opposition
is emphasizing this.
The proponents are relying
chiefly on what they claim is
the obvious advantage of a free
toward construction of the Pat
grant of $1,257,9O9 to the city
rick county development.
