WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER

1921

New York, Sept. 27. The New York Timer' Washington correspondent states that Mr. Harding has informed the Republican senators of hia' view. that the vote on Borah's Bill restoring the law exempting American coasting vessels from payment of Panama Canal tolls should be delayed until after the Washington Conference as he fears that repeal of the Panama Tolls Act, if accomplished by an act of Congress, would introduce another disputable. issue into the Conference and would influence the attitude of the British delegates. The same correspondent states "that the Administration hopes the Conference vill agree to measures providing for general agreements to replace he Anglo-Japanese Alliance and agreements between Japan and estern Powers affecting China. The Administration's idea is to rrange for virtually identical treaties between China and sack of the Powers, defining exactly the limits of the rightful claims of ioreign Powers so that the post-conference era máy start with a elean sheet and with all the Powers subscribing to the principle of the "open door", and equal commercial and industrial opportunities.

MEXICAN OILFIELDS.

Mexico City, Sept. 27. An important decision affecting the ownership et Mexican oiläelda was given by the Supreme Court in an injunction suit by the Texas Oil Company with regard to oil lands it held befire May 1, 1917. The company pleaded that if the government under article 27 of the Constitution denounced the company's rights to these lands it would be violating article 14 which provides that no law be made retrospective. The Court's decision definitely establishes that article 27 is not retrospective as far as it concerns property acquired for all exploration or exploitation prior to the present constitution becoming effective. Justice Moreno in reading the decision said it should stablish the principle of law on which other pending injunction saits should be adjudicated.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Geneva, Sept. 27.

The Assembly is now discussing the economic weapon as a means of enforcing respect for the League's decisions. The com- mittee's report proposes that the League Council should summon the parties accused of infringement of the League covenant and deliver judgment after bearing both sides. All rates should be placed on an equal footing with regard to the enforcement of penalties if the parties are unable to agree within the stipulated time.

GREEKS AND TURKS.

London, Sept. 27. Widespread concern has been aroused at the prospect of the continuation of protracted hostilities in Western Anatolia. The Great Powers were too exhausted to intervene and left the Greeks and Turks to fight out the ownership of Asia Mizer, but as a stale mate has arisen this policy is now bankrupt. It is pointed out that the mediation of the Powers is essential if Turkey and Greece are to be saved from financial ruin. The Greeks destroyed Anatolian villages in their retreat from Angora, creating a wide devastated zone between the rival armies.

DARING OUTRAGE.

New York, Sept. 27.

A daring outrage was perpetrated, in broad daylight, in the crowded Grand Central Station. Three bandits armed with lead pipes and revolvers attempted to snatch a handbag from a railroad OTHERS take your photos, but cashier, containing thousands of dollars, firing eighteen shots.
