THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, ©D. C, JULY 28 1929—PART 1. HAGLE SELEGTED FOR DEBY PARLE Diplomatic Dispute Ends on Site of Next Conference on Young Plan. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1va9. PARIS, July 27.—Choice of The Hague as the city in which the con- ference of governments or formal ac- ceptance of the Young reparations plan and the settlement of affillated ques- tions, like evacuation of the Rhineland, <hall be held ends one of the strangest diplomatic disputes in recent years. The date of the conference, it was agreed, wonld be August 6, but until Friday night, after more than a month of the continuous exchanging of views, the site was the subject of a bitter controversy. A large part of the map of Western Europe was surveyed, and at one time or another nearly every Jarge city in it was proposed by some one—only to have it refused by some Among the places mentioned ondon, Paris, Baden-Baden, | 5 Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, Co- | gen, Lausanne, Montreux, Lucerne and Geneva. To the very last Belgium continued to oppose choosing The Hague, because of its dispute with Holland over the status of the River Scheldt, but finally it gave in to Britain's persuasions. Behind this apparently puerile geo- araphic quarrel was, of course, a lot more than appeared on the surface. Diplomats really belleve it matters where such conferences are held. They fear the “atmosphere” may be unfavor- able to them and their particular de-| gns. They fear the tone of the local pross and its influence of the delegates. | France would gladly delay the con- {rrence until October. but Britain and Germany held firm for the date orig- inally fixed. France at this moment is in confusion. Premier Poincare's ill- ness and sudden resignation has pre- cipitated a governmental crisis that in- deed has been threatening for several Wweeks. 1If, however, as it seems prob- able, the new premier should be Aristide Rriand. the work of the forthcoming conterence should be a lot easier than \was anticipated. The French left wing | wishes to evacuate the Rhineland. CUBA PLANS CONTROL OF EXPORT OF SUGAR President Approves Agency to Handle Foreign Sales After September 1. R the Associated Press. HAVANA, July 27.—A co-operative | ~xport agency to control all foreign | falrs of Cuban sugar from September | a5 nrdered created in a decree sign- oA vesterday by President Gerardo Ma- hado v Morales. | The “presidential decree means the yevision by Cuba to a restriction policy. | but mow in the form of co-operative | restriction instead of the previous plan | of government control. The agency will be formed by the government under direction of Col. Jose Miguel Tarafa, sugar magnate and personal representa- tive of President Machado at the recent Washington and New York sugar tariff conferences. He was the author of the Tarafa sugar restriction act of 1924. The commission will later be turned over tn the control of native and for- cign industrialists. President Machado told the press: “In signing the decree of this date. regu'ating the control of the sale of all our sugar production, except that for domestic consumption, by means of a co-operative export agency, I am not inspired by any compromises or agree- ment ofany sort, but by the evident injury and damage lack of co-operation in’ such sales are causing us and by the urgent necessities of giving close atten- tion by constructive measures to stabili- 7ation of the market in order to defend the sugar industry in gencral, the prin- ripal source of our wealth. In the de-| fenze of this. industry I believe I am defending the producers. but the coun- trv at large is represented in their in- dustry and th> workmen as well. * * *” SUMMER BRINGS FARCES TO LONDON THEATERS «“Journey's End” Still Drawing Big Audiences Despite Hot Weather, However. LONDON. (N.ANA).—With hot weather the usual influx of farcical and rather inferior plays calculated to tickle the palate of “country cousins” has taken possession of the London the- aters. Such a one is “One Little Kiss,” » farce in which Bromley Challoner makes his reappearance. Another is the revival after many years of the old- time thriller, “The Face at the Window,” -hich excites more mirth than shivers as it is played by a provincial company at the Little Theater. A July first night of some importance, however, was that of .“Bitter Sweet,” Noel Coward's operetta, for which he has written book, lyrics and music, and which promises to have a great success at_His Magstry's. It is intoresting to note that in spite of the fall'ng off in theater attendance during the Summer, and of the fact that those who do go to the play in July expect it to be of the lightest possible character, “Journey's End,” the now world-famous war gieceA is still played to capacity houses at every performance, including matinees. (Copyright, 1920.) COUNTRY HOME ADAPTED T0 LOOK LIKE COLLEGE Lord Birkenhead Spends Much of Time at Old Place in Oxfordshire. LONDON (N.AN.A).—Lord Birken- head celebrated his thday recently at his country house, at Charlton, near Banbury, in Oxfordshire, where he spends a good deal of time. His house, though called “the cot- tage,” has been adapted to look like an Oxford college. It is a very old place, kxnown to King Charles’ soldiers when they marched to the battle of Edgehill during the civil war. Outside the dining-room windows there is a sunken pool bordered by six Corinthian pillars and a Byzantine lion, which Lord Birkenhead brought from Asia Minor before the war. There are also three or four tennis rourts, for Lord Birkenhead is a de- \ntee of the game, and many famous players foregather there. When Lord Birkenhead is in the rountry he takes a daily ride before breakfast. Later he motors 15 mi Banbury tound before lunch. Ihe car himself, however, \orrer of suddenly becoming Winded and invelving his guests in an ecldent (Convright. 1090} . - The largest yew tree aver tranaplant. 4 18 the recently taken from Den. on Md nuté»l oatate 4t Ken- | rett Bquare, Pa tree ia 200 yoars old THE HUB FOR LIBERAL AND EASY TERM For 28 years the Hub has found favor with the people of Washington.
