Dr. Fridtjof Nansen yesterday pre- cd to the council of the league of nations on behaif of the Nor- wegian government an impressive re- port on epidemic, crop and famine coAditions in Russia. Tae report de- clared that Russia’s harvest this year would amount to only 32,000,000 tons, or 50 per cent below that of 1916. Dr. Nunsen said his government be- lieved Europe was on the edge of an abyss and that the economic recon- struction of Russia now was the dominant issue in world affairs. He ved the council to appoint a com- ion of experts to go to Russia and establish by absolutely unques- tionable authority what is the actual situation there. Suys Millions Face Death. Dr. Nansen presented a gloomy pic- ture of the situation, declaring that unless something drastic was done millions of persons would die in Rus- sia during the coming year.

Roads Seek Higher Rates on Par- cel Post and Express Traffic. Possible Increased rates for the transportation of express and parcel post matter were discussed at & con- ference yesterday between Chairman McChord of the Interstate merce Commission, Postmaster Gen- erai Work and representatives of varlous railroads and express com- panies. The raflroad officials were understood to have presented facts which, they held, would justify the commission in authorizing what was termed an equitable adjustment of rates. Raflroad men declared the present contracts under which the carriers operate were resulting in heavy losses. Postal officlals were said to have advanced no argument that would influence the commission one way or another. Attending the conference were First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett, Special Assistant to the At- torney General Stewart, G. T. Tay- lor, president of the American Ex- press Company; F. B.

S. for| Amicable Settlement—Some Dif- ficulties Already Settled. Y PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922, THE HAGUE, Holland, July 21— Delegates are now assembling here for a case which will be brought be- fore The Hague arbitration tribunal on July 25 by Norway and the United States for the settlement of a con- troversy arising out of the seizure of Norweglan ships by the United States sovernment in 1917. As Walter Fish- er of Chicago, special counsel of the Norweglan government, explained to this corrcspondent, the United States has unusual interest In effect- ing an amicable scttlement of the ase, for there are nearly as many Norwegians In the United States as there are in Norway, namely, about 2,000,000. History of Controversy. The history of this interesting con- troversy as outlined by Mr. Fisher is as follows: In 1915 and 1916 many foreigner: especially British and Norwegia placed large orders with American shipyards and even paid considerable premiums to acquire existing con- tracts. After the United States en- tered the war and needed all the ships it could possibly get President Wilson proposed that a stock company should be formed, giving the United States the right to operate these ships, but leaving the stock of the corporation In the hands of the Norwegian and other foreign owners. Congress, how- ever, refused to authorize the project, but in June, 1917, passed an act glv- ing the government the right to requisition all ships in the harbors or | under construction and even contracts | for construction, and everything avail- able was seized immediately. Lives by Shipping. Norway lives by its shipping, and in the fall of 1917 sent a commission | headed by Dr. Fridtjof Nansen to re- | quest that_at least the title of the | ships being built in American yards | on Norwegian orders be left in Nor- | v This mission failed. Although | Norway was a neutral country, its losses by submari; totaled about | 850 ships. This loss was exceeded | only by that of the British i The United Statcs Shipping Board. | according to Mr. Fisher, to avoid 1 bility on account of t claimed that it was req tioning only materials assembled and not the | shipbuilding confracts for which p miums had been paid by foreign na- tionals. Most of the controversies ari out of this situation have tled. The Cunard Company’s claims were settled in June. 1918, for about! $90,000.000. Great Britain being an ally and the war still continuing, the United States early paid the Britis claims not only for materials requi- | ing been set- sitioned, but for contracts and pre- | miums paid on contracts. Soon after there was a settlement for thirty- ! seven Norwegian ships on terms al- most equally good. i PANAMA TRAFFIC LOW. 2,786 Vessels Passing Through Ca- nal Last Year,, 158 Below 1920-21. Final summai of the traffic through the Panama canal for the fis- cal year ended June 30 last, reported to the War Department, show the! movement of 2,736 v is, being 136 | less than in the preceding fiscal year, a decrease of 5.4 per cent. | | | i i { Net tonnage was slightly greater, however, and tolls $79,057 less, a de- crease of seven-tenths of 1 per cent. The approximate figure for cargo. the report indicates a decrease | of about 725. tons, or about 6 cent. The fiscal year 1921 was the year of greatest traffic through the canal so far. The tolls collected in the fiscal vear just ended amounted to $11,197,83 RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.” The resignation of Enslgn Carl R.

Copyright, 1922. BERLIN, Germany, July 21— Hundreds of machine guns, thou- sands of rifies and scores of big- caliber fleld guns are being dis- covered daily In north German cities, such Kiel and Hamburg, and in Bavaria. The interallied commission dis- armament has just made 2 report to London, Paris and Rome on the gravity of the situation and point- ing out that the spirit of opposi- tion to the allies dictated among former army officers and soldlers is getting stronger daily. This it attributes to the present govern- ment's failure to suppress the re- actionary movement with a stfong hard. According to messages from Bavaria troops there have come out openly against the Berlin gov- ernment. Several of the high of- ficers have been suspended and en- tire regiments have been trans- ferred to other parts of the coun- try. _— U. S. TO GUARD ALIENS.

Cox of Ohlo will be the guest of Premier and Mme. Poincare at a dinner at the ministry of for- eign affairs tomorrow evening, at which a.number of the higher French officials ‘also will be present. Pre- mier Poincare had planned to receive Mr, Cox this morning at the foreign office, but the dinner was arranged instead. Mr. Cox, awho was quoted today In a number of the French morning newspapers on the league of nations nd other: subjects, told the corre- spondent that the only statement on the. league which he had made was to the effect that while governments came and went the league was a| steady, lasting force, and, therefore, the hope of the world. He added he was purposely re- training from observation regarding . the league and European affairs gen-! erally until the completion of his Eu ropean tour late in August in Lon-! don, at which time he probably, would make a detailed statement, giving his view of the league gitua-| tion. 3 Mr. Cox had a long consultation with Leon Bourgeois recently and. another with Lord Robert Cecil when | the latter was in Paris a few days ago. Both conversations were large- | ly taken up with league of nations| affairs. ORDERED T0 WASHINGTON. Master Sergt. Willlam E.
