SENATOR KEY PITTMAN AND SILVER COMMITTEE FACE FORMIDABLE TASK
AMERICA'S ATTITUDE MAY WRECK COMPROMISE
DR. COLIJN BENIGN AND YET FIRM
[TRAGUUR AKUTER'S AGENCY]
1.ondon. June 22.
The Dutch Premier, Dr. Colijn is shepherding his economic flock at the Conference with benignity but firmness, and the latest instance was afforded this morning when a number of dele. gates objected that 3 p.m. was too soon after lunch to attend the Sub Committees; they suggested 3.30 p.m.
"Very well," said Dr. Celijn, then we start half-an-hour carlier in the morning."
This brought up the late rising Britons who considered that 10.30 a.m. was too early to start.
"Very well," gently repeated Dr. Colijo, we start the meet- ings at 11.00 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. respectively "--but he rounded up bis straying flock and defeated any idea of curtalling working hoors by announcing that the meeting would continue till 6.36 p.m. Instead 6 p.m.
CONFLICTING AIMS
SENATOR Key Pittman and the Silver Committee are facing the task of reconciling conflicting Chinese-American aims.
The latter desires an open mar ket whereas the Chinese favour a stabilised price with freedom of movement in other directions res- trieted to the lowest limits.
