C? SEVEN GREAT SUGAR EXPORTING NATIONS SIGNNEW CONTRACT Germany, Poland, Czechoslo- vakia, Belgium, Hungary, dava, Cuba Agree Brussels, May 9—(?)—The seven Great sugar exporting countries of the world Saturday signed the Chad- bourne international sugar ccntract which, they hope, will assure produc- ers fair profits and at the sane time guard the consumer against unduly high prices. Germany, Poland, Czechosicvakia, Belgium, Hungary, Java, and Cuba signed the agreement whicn Thomas LL, Chadbourne, New York, brought to @ successful conclusion after years of effort. It is his plan for saving the world sugar industry from the evils of overproduction by restricting ex- portation. With the pact at last an accom- plished fact he turned over its opera- tion to Francis Powell, another Amer- ican, who has long been engaged in business in Europe ‘and is the inter- national sugar counsel at the Hague. ‘The plan calls for rigil restriction of exportation by the signatory na- tions and will result in an increase of the price of sugar to a point which will make export profitable. The present surplus stock of 2,- 500,000 tons will be segregated and if the price goes too high part of it will be released to world markets, thus bringing the price down for both pro- ducers and consumers. Mr. Powell was authorized to begin functioning immediately. One of his first duties will be to open negotia- tions with a view to bringing into the international group Peru, Spain, Italy, Rumania and the Dominican republic.

Newer Principles For Business Are Listed at Meeting (Continued from page one) that any nation should “feel free to ask a reexamination” of the war debts “on the basis of the underlying prin- ciples upon which they have been settled.” Asking redoubling of efforts by world powers to reduce armaments, the chamber followed the course rec- ommended by President Hoover in the convention. Before the adjournment, it heard a in the present crisis. Referring to armament reduction, it said “the international chamber re- “The chamber commends the ef- forts being made by the governments of the world to reduce armaments to the lowest possible limit and urges not only that there should be no re- Jaxation of this effort but rather that it should be redoubled. The attain- ment of this objective would relieve the people of all nations of heavy burden of taxation.” » the reso- trade barriers, lution said: “National and interna- tional trade should be encouraged by the removal of every obstacle possi- ble, Tariffs should not discriminate unfairly between nations. be should be exercised only against dumpings or other unfair practices. The machinery provided by some countries for the adjustment of tariff inequalities should be utilized without delay and all nations should ‘unite in an effort to remove all un- dustifiable restrictions.” ‘The “machinery” mentioned here commission for removal of any unjust duties. Favor Private Business ‘The section of the resolution touch- ing on private initiative, while not mentioning procedure followed by Soviet Russia, said: “Private initia- tive and private operation of business enterprise constitute the most effec- tive instrument to insure the progress of industry and to increase general Prosperity.” Another resolution called attention to “the dangers of promoting any concerted impairment of the guaran- tees provided by. the most-favored- nation clause.” This resolution was regarded with Particular interest because of the pro- Posed customs union between Ger- grounds that it would violate “most ea nation” agreements now in force.” A resolution recommending a study on the extension of customs facilities was, adopted without discussion. Another was @ recommendation for uniform laws and uniform Uills of lading to facilitate internationa: com- merce, Closer contact between ind'vidual branches of world industry and trade ‘were recommended as a means of aid- ing trade movements. With regard to futures trading, the sentiment was that futures exchanges themselves can best devise the rules which should govern them. MILLIONS ARE SAVED PRODUCER AS RESULT OF STANDARDIZATION Savings in All Lines of Industry Are Credited to Efficient Organization New York, May 9.—(—Standard- ization goes on apace in American industry, bringing savings of millions of dollars in the reduction of waste- ful practices and the improvement of product. Adoption of standard parts, stan- dard qualities and standard methods save the automobile industry more than $750,000,000 annually, the so- ciety of automotive engineers has es- timated. Take a little thing like a hexagon- al head cap screw—purchasers used to pay $50 a hundred for them in small lots because of the multitude of sizes that manfacturers were forced to make to satisfy industry's demands. Then they were standard- Pe ee red. « The leather belts that turn the wheels of America’s many machines cost about $30,000,000 a year—which, says the American Standards associ- ation, is $7,000,000 too much. Seven millions can be saved by adoption of the specifications now being worked out by the association. The American Mining Congress has just undertaken the technical direc- tion of an effort to eliminate waste in one of the most costly items of coal- mine equipment—coal mine cars—by means of standardization of design and materials. Possible savings of $100,000,000 to housewives in the annual cost of re- frigeration are predicted by the as- sociation, if specifications now neing worked out are generally adopted America has about 12,000,000 re- frigerators in use, costing for re- frigeration: about $25 each a year. Standardization. of insulation will, the association says, permit \ housewife to cut the annual cost in half. Facing Charges of Killing, Kidnaping And Bank Robbery (Continued from page one) lice to have been the immediate cause of the arrests. Ten men were taken but four were released. Precautions, similar to those taken when Fred Burke was taken from Missouri to Michigan to ansver for the slaying of a St. Joseph, Mich., po- liceman, were arranged by the officers for the overland journey of the six captives toward Chicago. To Serve Warrants . over The six desperadoes sped northern Wlinois highways Saturday manacied and guarded by a heavy force of state police. ‘They were headed for Sterling, Ill., where they were to be served with warrants charging them with the $2.- 800,000 robbery of the Lincoln, Neb., National bank last year. The motor caravan headed north from Springfield after spending the night there. Seven cars carried the six prisoners and highway policemen selected for their marksmanship. State Police Chief Walter Moody said the heavily armed guard which he headed was composed of ex-serv- ice men who “know when to shoot and how to shoot.” “I'm going to take them to Sterling over the main highways of the state,” he said. “If their pals want to at- tempt to rescue them, let them try.” At Sterling six warrants were sworn out charging “robbery with a gun” of the Lincoln bank and the men were to be given a hearing immedi- fal) ately after their arrival. The warrants charged $25,000 in cash and securities worth $2,500,000. Largest Ever Staged In Chicago Attorney Emory Smith, representing Nebraska authorities, said the Lincoln robbery was “the largest ever perpetrated in the Unit~ ed States.” The loot amounted to $2,800,000, he said.

Two Other Persons Made Defendants Following Probe Minneapolis, May 9.—(?)—Five of- ficers and two other persons were under indictment Saturday as a six- weeks’ grand jury investigation of crime and vice protection charges against local police ended. ‘The jury, which heard 100 persons and investigated complai..‘@ +f many organizations and individuals in its latest indictments, suspended the head of the police morals squad, and a patrolman, charged with wilful neglect of duty. Named were E. J. Gustafsc:, the former morals squad head, against whom an earlier indictment was re- jected by Judge Mathias Baldwin be- cause it failed to include sufficient facts; Sergeant Matt Neary anc Pa-! trolman William F. Mealey. Two in- dictments were returned against Gustafson. Other indictments were returned against Joseph A. Lehmeyer, night captain of detectives and Detective Fred A. Schroeder, charged with neg- lect of duty and accepting a gratuity in the recovery of stolen jewels; a woman for keeping a house of ill fame; and a man for possession of gambling devices. One of the charges against Gustaf- son grew out of alleged failure to close a house of ill fame. The other Gustafson indictment was based on charged failure to make arrests at a disorderly house. The indictment aganist Sergeant Neary grew out of alleged faliure to charge Leo Polisky, arrestea on a@ charge of transporting liquor with the more serious charge of possessing Uquor. Mealey’s indictment grew out of al- leged failure to arrest Hyman Carroll and charge him with possessing liquor after a residents’ raid said to have produced 85 gallons of liquor.
