Material, es- sential for national existence, is being badly distributed and the whole great scheme of imports and exports is thereby 'affected. The first talk of the Barcelona con- ference will be to take a comprehen- sive survey of the presenf position and then all the great transport ex- perts of the world ~will’ lend their knowledge and their brains to the matter of improvements. The Barcelona conference will do in the realm of transportation what the Brussels conference did in the realm of finance. It will endeavor to find a more satisfactory system for the ‘distribution of available material, existing routes of communication. An invitation to attend has been extended to the United States of America, and other recognized gov- ernments have been informed with regard to the preparatory work of the conference, of which the chairman will be Monsieur Gabriel Hanotdux, formerly minister of foreign affairs in ern whites, sacked, $1.20 to $1.25;| color.
