FRANCE AND AMERICA."

W Washington, May 12.

While the hare announcement that the State Department is informally negotiating with France regarding the French debt is the only official information available, it is generally understood that increased pressure for the French Bettlement of the obligation was recently exorted in several Informal ways. It was appears that the French Ministers who recently conferred with the Under Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Winston Churchill, on his visit to France, were clearly informed by the American government that is desired that the French funding commission should be sent to Washington at the earliest moment in order to discuss the debt settlement with an American committee headed by Mr. Mellon at Washington. The Government, anyhow, does not favour the idea that the French debt to America. should depend on the sams France receives from Ger many, Reuter's "American Service.

Paris, May 12.

The French newspapers call attention to France's preoccupation in trying to balance her budget, and at the same time point out that France does not contemplate evading her liabilities which M. Call- laux can only discharge when the internal finances are cleared up. According to the Matin M. Caillaux told the United States Am- bassador that there should be some proportion between France's payments to her creditors and the 'sums she received from Germany,- Reuter,

THE ARMS CONFERENCE.

Geneva, May 12,

The technical committee of the arms conference has adopted the British proposal to exclude warships and seroplanes from the category of objects of which the export is not allowed. The decision must be ratified by the general committee. The legal committee pronounced In favour of the prohibition of the export of arms etc, to private individuals, but favoured its being allowed case of governments under certain conditions. Reuter.

Washington, May 12.

Official circles believe that the action of the American delegation at the Geneva arms conference in supporting British motion to exclude warships and aircraft from the operation of the proposed arms treaty, represents a desire to facilitate the conference reaching an agreement rather than any particular, attitude of the Washington government on the question immediately Involved. It is understood that the délegation did not discuss the status of aeroplanes and war- ships prior to their departure for Geneva.-Reuter's American Service.

CHINESE TRADE MARK LAW..

Landon, May 12.

The Chinese Industrial Mission was welcomed at Bradford by the Lord Mayor and the President of the, Bradford Chamber of Com- merce. They visited the dyeworks and mills and lunched with the Lord Mayor, and later conferred with the Council, the Chamber of Com- merce and the National Wool Textile Industrial Council. ·

Mr. Cr Wells of the Bradford. Dyers Association in an address praised the Trademarks Act passed in Peking in 1928, He said that doubtless the expedience of the rule prevailing in England that the first user of a trade mark had full rights therein, would be 'obvious to judges in China, especially as the principle is implied in articlès two and three of Chinese Trademark Law.--Reuter.

HINDENBURG'S OATH OF OFFICE.

Cologne, May 12,

The oath Von Hindenburg will take on the assumption of his seven years term of office as President of the Republie runs: "I swear to dedicate my powers to the welfare of the German people, to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, to, guard them from injury, to observe the Constitution and laws of the federation, to fulfil my duties conscien- tiously, and to do justice to every man."

The President's powers under the constitution are strictly defined and limited and in any event require the countersignature of the Chancellor or a competent federal minister. Declaration of war and conclusion of peace with foreign countries is dependent on the passing" of a federal law-Reuter.

FRANCE IN MOROCCO.

Paris, May 12.

The newspapers are pre-occupied with the operations in Morocco. While suggesting that Abd el Krim lost his head in conséquence of auccess over the Spaniards they declared that he hoodwinked the French observers thoroughly, and prepared the ground by Intrigues With French tribes employed during winter in building roads, bridges, and telephone lines. They publish a report from Tangler that à German subtharine has several times landed war material on the Moroccan coast and that disguised Germans are serving with the Riffs.-Router.

FRENCH ELECTION RETURNS.

Commenting on the rise in the price of rubber the Manchester Guardian says that the only deduction to be drawn from the present situation is that the Stevenson restriction plan is unduly rigid in operation and ought to be modified at the earliest possible time.- Reuter.

London, May 12 Japanese importers of silk here are asking to have their special form of silk placed on a lower tariff." The representatives of seven leading Japanese firms in London have stated their case to the silk section of the London Chamber of Commerce for submission to the Treasury: The case is that Japanese silk is not a finished commodity NURMI AND BITOLA. but raw material of the dyeing, printing and making ug industries. It is much cheaper than French or Italian silks and not fully "bolled off" and therefore it should be taxed at sixty-three pence per pound as "undischarged" instead of at the full rate of ninety-three pence per pound on "discharged" silk-Reuter...
