BREAK IN DEADLOCK Subcommittee to Study Tariff Impasse Between U. S. and Argentina. By the Assoriated Press, HAVANA, Pebruary 9.—In an effort . | to break a deadlock between the United States and Argentina, the subcommittee on the Pan-American Union was sum- moned to meet today. This deadlock in the deliberations of the Fan-American Congress arose over Argentina’s insistence that the union be ‘granted authority to investigate the application of tariffs in inter-American trade. After three hours of discussion the United States had not altered its opposition to this nor Argentina its demand The apparent determination of Charies Evans Hughes, chairman of the United States delegation, and Honorlo Pueyrredon, head of the Argentine delegation, to maintain their positions led delegates to speculate as to the possibility of breaking the impasse.

Unless there is & de- cided shift in the present situation in the State, a delegation favorable to the Secretary of Commerce will be sent to the Kansas City convention. The Republican leaders here explain they would very much like to see Presi~ dent Coolidge renominated.

Notwithstanding the fact that Ala- bama s strongly Democratic, the publicans have a well organized party in the Btate. Indeed, in some of the counties Republican officials are elected to office. This is true in northern Ala- bama. In southern Alabama, the “Black Belt," there 1s practically no Re- publican vote Point to 1920 Vote. ‘The Republicans here point with no little pride to the fact that in 1920 they polled upward of 74,000 votes for President Harding. While the vote fell off in 1924, the leaders are talking of equaling, if not surpassing, the Hard- ing vote in 1928 If Gov. Al Smith of New York is the Democratic nomince, they belleve the Republican vote will oe very considerable. If any of the Demo- cratic leaders in the State should bolt the Democratic ticket and cast in their lot with the Republicans, they say thau there s a “chance” of the State's go- ing Republican. But they admit that this chance is rather remote. * Mr. Hoover is reckoned & dry, and Alabama 1s dry politieally, The W. C. T.
