COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY

Ceneva, Yesterday. Thirty-four States, including four non-members of the League--United States, Turkey, Soviet Russia and Equador-attended the opening conference to devise means to sup- press counterfeit currency.

Baron Hayashi (Japan) declared that Japan favoured the Convention prepared by the Experts' Committee at Geneva in 1927, but reserved his right to submit suggestions when Mr. the Articles were discussed.

Nevertheless, his Government was doing its best
