(International Newsreel) IFI T HOLIDAY IDEA GETS AWAY TO SLOW STAl By P. L LIPSEY, JR. (A. P. Correspondent) GENEVA, May 21.—European eccnomic disarmament has been set in motion, but it is such -slow motion that a decade may be need- ed before any appreciable progress in this arduous crusade is recorded. The tariff truce conference of the League of Nations was admit- tedly a “fizzle” in so far as it sought a tariff truce, but it planted seeds which its sponsors hope will some day produce useful fruits in greater economic stability and world | peace. Italy regarded it as of high im- portance that the League of Na- tions should establish closer co- operation between European states and overseas couniries which are great producers of raw materials and foodstuffs. The Italian dele- gation urged that the league's eco- nomic commitiee undertake to de- termine how this might be brought about. Component Elements “In particular,” said the Italian proposal, “the committee should as- certain the component elements of the trade between Europe and the Americas and other overseas countries on which the concession of reciprocal advantages might be based.” The spokesman of Premier Mus- solini asserted that the absence from the conference of the United States and other American givern- ments was one reason why Italy could not support the proposal for an immediate tariff holiday. Eccnomic Scheme he has made “Melodie” a regular part of his American concert repertory. He played it twice last night. The American Ambassador sat in the audience and was well pleased when “Melodie” was applauded loudly. The big need in Europe—as seen at the league headquarters—was to get governments to subscribe to some economic scheme, even if it were as simple and conservative as the multiplication table. This they have done. “We have taken a first hesitat- ing step,” said Count Moltke of Denmark, president of the confer- NEW POLITICAL PARTY e e 00000000 0 FOR FRENCH FARMERS PARIS, May 21.—French farmers are being organized into & NeW|.ingidates have polled eno t ugh votes political party, the Agrarian Party.

Cameron, San Francisco, covering a 23,000 horse- power project at Dorothy Lake, fiear here, according to an Asso. ciated Press dispatch received by The Empire. The power is to be used in the manufacture of wood pulp and paper. This is but an Intermediate step in the Cameron-Chandler pulp and |paper project under development here for the past three years, ac- cording to Assistant District For- lester B. F. Heintzleman of this| city. While it was not necessary for the'Cameron interests to obtain the preliminary permit, in order to save time, one was taken out. The application was filed early ithis year, and as required by law fthe application was advertised for a period of eight weeks. After this had been done, it was found that sufficient data had already been assembled to permit the filing of an application for a permanent li- cense. Upon confer with the Power Commission officials in Washing- ton, it was learned that unless a preliminary permit was issued, it would be necessary to advertise for another period of eight weeks be- fore a final license could be issued. In order to avert such a delay, the application for a temporary permit was, therefore, put through. Now that this is issued, Mr. Heintzleman pointed out, the syn- dicate is in position to immed- iately file its application for a final license.
