MAKES PROGRESS Subcommittee Meets Today to Settle Controversial Mat- ters Bothering Officials. Subcommittees of the Pan-American Commission on Simplification and Standardization of Concular Proced- ure met behind closed doors today to prepare their drafts of controversial questions arising during the confer- ence with recesses tomorrow. Most of these questions involve the form of consular invoices, which the commigsion designs to simplify for the freer flow of inter-American trade. Reports ate to be made at the reg- ular session of the commission, which meets at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Excellent progress has been made since the opening of the conference Jast Monday and none of the contro- versial points that has azisen in any way affects the successful outcome of the discussion. After recessing to mortow afternoon the commission will reassemble October 24 to hear the reports of various subcommittees de- {ailed to perfect the trade proposals reached earlier in the conference. Committee Js Named. The chairman of the conference, Frederick T. F. Dumont, delegate from the United States, yesterday- appointed the following committee to consider and report back_on the question of a standard corsular invoice: Augusto Marchin, consul general of Cuba at New York: Domingo Pena Toro, con- sul of Chile at New Orleans; Fran- cisco Suastegui, commercial attache of Mexico at Washington; Juan Vi- cente Ramirez, charge d’ ires of Paraguay, and P. R. Rincones, consul general of Venezuela at New York. Proposals adopted in principle dur- ing the afternoon session covered a number of matters dealing with con- sular practice and procedure, including the furnishing of invoice forms. It was the consensus of the confer- ence that consular officials shall fur- nish to shippers the necessary infor- natlon for the correct preparation ‘of shipments and of consular documents for certification in accordance with the laws of the country of destination. The conference récommended that, unless specifically required for spe- cial classes of Mer¢handise, the com- mercial designation of current de- scription of goods should be consid- ered sufficient for the purpose of the consular invoice. Would Ease PenaMy. Those countries which require a description of goods in terms of tariff nomenclature, the proposal added, should permit exporters in case of doubt to give this description in ordinary commercial terms with- out, in absence of fraudulent intent, being subject to penalty for errors. The conference then procesaded to discussion of consular fees, the gen- eral proposal submitted in connection with the agenda being that this fes should be recognized as a fee for the rvice performed and not regarded used as a means of collectina additional duty. Action on this sub- ject, hawever, was postponed by the conference. Consul General Dumont and Mrs Dumont, assisted by the secretary general of the conference and Mrs. Henry Chalmers, received the dele- gates and their wives at tea at the Mayflower during the afternoon.

They are out to boost the Norris movement as strongly as possible. They intend to weld themselves into a fighting unit in the coming session of the Sen- ate in the interests of legislation for the West. They will hold the bal- ance of power in the Senate, and doubtless will exercise an important influence on all legislation, The statement issued by Senator Borah vesterday for the group follows: ““These conferences have for their purpose the discussion and consid- eration of questions which seem par- ticularly to concern or appertain (o the West, hoth politically and legis- latively. We have our problems, such as the agricultural or farm problem and other matters which seem more vital to us than they are to the East. We hope to get some unity of purpose and some solidarity of action. Other Senators Awaited. “Not all the Western Senators are here, and until they are.here, our conferences will be conferences and nothing more. While dealing with legislative matters we shall also prob- ably consider political matters. We are cognizant'of the fact that an elec- tion is coming on next year, and can- not_help feeling some interest in it. “These conferences haven't the slightest thing to do with a third party movement. We proceed upon the theory that the Republican party is a national party and not an East- ern party. We proceed upon the the- ory that if we make our wishes known in a proper way and Wwith sufficient force, they will be respected and considered by the party. Ours is a pretty large country and it now extends from the Mississippi to the Pacific. “When Eastern Senators and Fep- resentatives coafer upon matters of peculiar interest to their portion of the country, such as protection to their manufacturing interests and naval stations, they are still regard- ed as regular and sometimes referred to as active and patriotic. When ‘Western Senators and Representatives confer with reference to matters which particularly concern their por- tion of the country, they seem to be regarded is irregular, insurgent and radical. . Glad to Support Norris. “Now all tiat arises out of the dis- position among a few of our East. ern friends to assume that Repub- lican policies can- only- originate with- in_certain territory and Republican principles can emanate only from cer- tain quarters. We do not desire to in- trude unnecessarily upon this idea, But we feel that a reasonable de- gree of solidarity with reférence to our Western interests and problems will help for a better understanding. “No action has been taken and cei will riot be taken until a larg- at hand, if at all A Smart New Shoe for Fall as to candidates for President.

Representative Begg of Ohio, one of the Republican leaders of the House, said at the White House today that there is considerable sentiment in his State for Herbert Hoover for the Republican nomination for Presi- dent next year. He explained, how- ever, that while President Coolidge is tremendously popular in Ohio and could sweep that State with an over- whelming vote if he ran next year, it ts generally assumed by Republi- cans there that the President has defl- nitely eliminated himself. Mr. Begg was of the opinion that a large part of Mr. Hoover's populari- ty in Ohlo is due probably to the fact that many Republicans credit him with representing virtually all of the Coolidge policies, which .they would like to see continued. Favored in Washington State. Representative Johnson of Washing- ton, State chairman of the immigra- tion committee ,of - the House, said that Seeretary ‘Hoover is standing out ahead of all other so-called candi- dates for thé Republican nomination in ‘Washington, and he believes that when the time comes the vote of that State will o to him.

Bishop Guerry dwelt on the neces- sity of clergy and ofher religious teach- ers adhering to the flelds in which they are qualified to speak with author- ity, and advised them to tell young people that every question is open for discussion, but before expressing an opinion it is Important “to qualify yourself.” Otherwise, he said, “vour opinion Is of no value and you stand agan example of monumental egoism.” Religious problems, he said, should be approached with humility, rev- erence and sincerity, and in conduet- ing investigations it is important to take into account the limitations of sclence and reason. There is a great difference, he pointed out, between dis- covering truths and investigating them after they have been discovered. Officers Submit Reports. . The convention was considering re- ports of its officers this afternoon and will hold a general conference on ‘‘Ed- ucation for Christian Living,” led by Miss Frances Rose Edwards of the general department of religious educa- tion, New York.
