America’s only hope of an entrant in the forthcoming Schneider sea- plane classic of the world at Venic Italy—Lieut. Alford J. Williams, ir., U. 8. N., and his privately-financed and constructed racing plane—was blasted today with the announcement by T. Douglas Robinson, Acting Sec- retary of the Navy that he had been advised by the racing pilot that “it will be impractical to complete ade- quate tests and trials to warrant em- barking for Venice in sufficient time to arrive, make final check tests and qualify. The announcement came at “zero hour” set by the Navy Depart- ment as the very latest time the U. S. 8. Trenton, light cruiser, now at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, could embark for Venice with Lieut. Williams and his plane aboard in order to arrive September 23, or two days before the date of the Schnelder international | seaplane trophy event. The ecruiser had been promised Lieut. Willlams and the Navy Department had set today as the “dead line” for its sailing. Change to Land Plane. While the ‘decision to remain on these shores deprives America of the chance of obtaining permanent pos- session of the coveted trophy by a vile- tory this year, the way was paved im- mediately for regaining the world high speed honors by substituting wheels for pontoons on the racer now at Port Washington, New York, and trans- ferring the plane to Mitchel Field, Long Island, for a series of tests to shatter the maximum speed record for type of plane now held by France at 278 miles per hour. It was under- stood here that the pewerful racer would be ready to take the air as a land plane_the early part of next week. o Mr. Robinson’s statement, announc- |ing the cancellation of Lieut.

A, Switzerland, September 9.—Poland seems determined to force a clear-cut decision by the League of Nations on the question of outlawing Her representatives have submitted a new draft of a non-aggression pact | and have let it be known that if the great powers fail to approve it, Poland will introduce a more drastic one with the idea of putting the League A~sembly on record as to whether it desires a genuine anti-war pact or merely a meaningless expression of idealism. The new draft declares that “every war of aggression is and will be for- bidden.” and adds: “The Assembly declares that the members of the League of Nations are under obligation to obey this nciple, and requests them to nego- tiate pacts of non-aggression inspired with the idea that pacific means should be employed for the settlement of differences, whatever might theim ure.” Financial Plan Favored. The war of aggression question also came up in the League Council yes- terday when Sir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign secretary, gave con- ditional approval to a plan to extend organized financial assistance for any nation which was made the victim of such aggression. Ile remarked that his country would want to see a tangible reduction of armaments be- fore supporting the plan. Under the project, which was draft- ed by the League's financial commit- | tee and now goes to the a attacked nation would be tract a loan on the general security pf its revenues, with the assistance of an international guarantee to be con- tained in a convention which would be open to all nations.

A move which may result in the re. turn to Germany of one or more of the colonies she lost in the World War was mads when the council voted to increase the number of members in the mandate commission from nine to ten, and to give the extra seat to Ger- many. Addressing the League Assembly to- day, with the delegates strung to hish tension by the attacks of the smaller powers who charge that the League is neglecting to fulfill its mission of po- Iitical mediation, M. Vandervelde, Bel- gian Socialist foreign minister, de- clared amid great applause that he was ready to support adoption of a resolution embodying the memorable utterance of the late Jean Leon Juares that wars of aggression are a crime against humanity. (Juares, noted So- cialist leader, was assassinated in Paris on July 31, 1914.) Pleading for unfaltering efforts to the end that reduction of armaments might be achieved, M. Vandervelde in a_stentorian voice almost shouted: The world must disarm!" Referring to the charges by the smaller powers tha: the Leagzue Coun- cil was side-stepping its political du- ties, he admitted that it would he dis- quieting if the council were to discuss only minor matters, but,” he argued, the League is not a super-state and the council is not a government which can dictate to the sovereign nations who comprise the League. Disarmament Action Urged. M. Vandervelde urged the approval of the Netherlands resolution to revive the examination of the principles of arbitration, security and disarmament of the Geneva protocol. He insisted that it would be folly to postpone con- sideration of these great problems, say ing that if they are not r day, they will be tomorrow. Vandervelde said he was con- ment neg. 3 for he wa the will of the peonde would eventually force their governments to remove the danger of competitive armaments, once the gov- ernments felt that they had achieved national security. Security, however, called for guarantees, asserted M. Van- dervelde, and the great work of the League was to devise a system of Fuarantees which would tranquillize the human race by elimipating the danger of wars. The spokesman of the French dele zation, headed by Foreign Minister Briand, declined either to confirm or deny a newspaper report from Londun today that France soon would follow in the footsteps of Great Britain and sever diplomatic relations with the Russian Soviet government. The spokesman added that the situation did not permit of comment at this time and that it would be hazardous to make any prediction as to what would happen.

EMBASSY SURPRISED; RATES ARE UNEXPECTED State Department Orders Repre- sentations to French Foreign Of- fice—Shipments Detained. By the A ciated Pre: PARIS, September 9.—What are said to be prohibitive duties upon a variety of American exports to France have been in force against shipments from United States ports since Sep- tember 1, it was learned today. The new duties are from four to six times higher under the general tariff now effective than previously. This fact came as a surprise to the American embassy on Wednesday, it is stated, the embassy having under- stood from the French foreign office that the new tariffs were rather more favorable to America than the old schedules. Numerous Articles Excluded. The embassy, acting under instruc- tions from the State Department, is making energetic representations to the foreign office for most-favored- nation treatment. Meantime com- modities arriving on vessels which have sailed from America since Sep- tember 1 will be held in French ports, awaiting the action of the French government. American importers declare that these new high duties exclude numer- ous articles from competition in France with Germany, England and other countries enjoying most favor- able national treatment. These articles include magnetos, electric machinery, small hardware, pumps, razor blades, clothes-pressing and clothes-making machines, prepared and worked leath- ers, and enameled ware. ! Half of Value. An example of the new duties is seen in the case of steel furniture, in which quite a_trade recently has sprung up in France. The duty in this instance is increased from 1 franc 50 e:ntimes and 2 francs, to 8 ‘francs 80 centimes. This figure is said to be at least 50 per cent of the value of the furniture itself. The duty on fountain pens, which previously averaged § francs, or 20 per cent of their value, has now been raised to 80 per cent. American business men say that such imports from .America cannot compate with the German and English exporting markets unless the duty is lowered. England automatically has the full benefit of the new Franco- German commercial treaty which be- came effective on September 6. Fifth Are Affected. Tt is =stimated at the embassy that | quite 20 per cent of the value of Amer- ican imports into France are affected. The imports were valued at about $320,000,000 in 1926, American importers are said to be telegraphing their customs brokers at ench ports not to clear imports ar- viving on_ships which have sailed since Auglust 31. It is understood that if the French government does not lower the rates, the goods accumu- {lating in French portsgwill be tranship- pd to otler marke it being prob- able that none of them will be re- | turned to the United States.

By the Associated Press Washington officials are hopeful that the disadvantages under which American exports to France are suf- fering due to the mew French tariff schedules, . which became _effective September 1, will prove of a very temporary character in view of the fact thai negotiations for a most- favored-nation commercial treaty be- tween the two countries have already been initiated. _ Such a treaty would give the United States - the same privileges granted any other nation. The inclusion in he proposed treaty of the most-favor- ed-nation clause, as has been sug- gested by the United States, would automatically overcome the tariff handicaps imposed on American goods by the new French schedules. Temporary Plan Hopeful. As it may take some time for the two governments to arrive at the language of the treaty and to obtain its ratification, howevey, most offi- cials seem confident that some sort of temporary understanding can be arrived at which will at least modify materially the unfavorable position of American goods under the present French schedules. A draft treaty embodying Am. n ideas of the new commercial act has been in the hands of the Krench foreign office for some days. To that extent negotiation of the treaty is actually under way and in the preliminary conversations there was said to have been evidence of the desire of the Paris authorities to readjust commercial relations with the United States on such a_basis. Whether the detailed negotiations as to the various clauses of the treaty will be conducted here or in Paris does not seem to have been decided as vet. pending examination by the French government of the American Zmft proposals. .
