GARY FOR SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE of Opposes Cancellation Europe’s War Debts to United States New York, Oct, 27—Another inter- national peace conference in Wash- ington for the full and frank discus- sion of all unsettled financial, com- mercial and industrial questions in which the United States is interested was suggested by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation in a speech, today at the American Iron and Steel Institute of which he is president. Such a conference, he said, should be participated in by able, open- minded, well disposed representatives from the different nations such as those who apeared at the recent lim- itations of armament conference. “If there shall be such a meeting,” declared, “and the delegates are ail of the type referred to, there will result incalculable good to all who are parties. They would not decide ‘or discuss how to abolish or over- come the old established law of sup- ply and demand, how to avoid or repudiate irreparable injury to any one or the sacrifice of principle. Cancellation of Europe’s war debts to the United States was opposed by the speaker: The debts, he said, were voluntarily, openly and fairly con- tracted and cannot be cancelled or disposed of on any other basis.

Mr. Williams calls attention to sev- eral provisions which are in conflict with those of the Federal Grain Grades act, which result in the ini- tiated law being declared invalid m the courts, ‘ Its provisions for the sale of grain '“by type or sample or by any name, description or designation not false or misleading” and not included in the official grade established by the federal act does not make a distinc- {tion between intrastate and inter- ; State commerce, Section 5 of the proposed law, he | said, is in conflict with the: United States act in that it prohibits “the buying of grain by grade, after grades have been established, unless it, has been inspected by a state or federal inspector and the grade by which. it is. bought is one of the grades established or recognized by the act.” It is in conflict with the federal act to the extent “that the latter permits shipments of grain by grade without inspection at point of shipment if it is subject to inspection at destination or enroute and with: out inspection at all if the shipment is between points as which no in- :merce and it is believed, therefore, that it would be declared invalid in declaring invalid the North Dakota Feb, 11, 1919.” the opinion said: “The provision respecting a bond is found in Section 9 of the measure and requires that any individual buying or shipping grain for profit in this state, who does not pay cash Grain Grading and Inspection Act of In regard to the bond provisions, in advance for the grain so bought’ shall file a bond running to the state in a sum sufficient to cover the va- lue of the grain so bought.

King Victor Emmanuel was expect- ed to return to the Capital today for conferences with political leaders in preparation for the formation of a new cabinet and his choice of a pre- mier was believed to lie between Vit- torio Orlando and Giovanni Giolitti, both former cabinet chiefs, Whether one of these men would be acceptable to the Fascisti or whether this powerful organization would be content with anything less than an-all Fiscisti ministry, was a matter of speculation. Latest dispatches from Rome de- scribe the situation as one of great confusion with wild rumors circulat- ing on all sides, The Fascisti organization which was formed by the extreme national- ists to combat the growing power of the communists, and socialists, has reached a strength variously esti- mated at from 400,000 to 800,000 men a large part of whom are armed, drilled and ready for military action.

All speculation concerning the so- lution of the crisis agree that it will result in the advent to power of the Fascisti either alone or with Giolitti Orlando or Salandra in case the Facto cabinet possibility mentioned is dissipated. * King Victor Emmanuel will arrive in Rome tonight. He has a desire to consult tomorrow on the situation with Signors Tittoni and Deniola, the presidents, respectively, of the sen- ate and chamber of deputies with Benito Massolini, the leader of the Fascisti, and with Luigi Federzoni, leader of the nationalist party.
