Observers. | BOTH OPPOSE THREAT OF HIGHER LIVING COSTS Trade Against This Country Would Hike Prices in Britain. Union Discriminating By the Associated Press OTTAWA, Ontario, pointment of Walter J. H. Thomas as Great Britain's mem- | bers of the Important Committee on Commercial Relations with foreign countries was heard with satisfaction | today by American observers at the| British Imperial Economic Conference. | Runciman and Thomas are members of Liberal and Labor parties, respec- tively. in England, and because of their afliations are expected to oppose any move by the conference, which would rosult in high food costs to British consumers Runciman is president of the board of trade; Thomas is Dominions secre- tary in the cabinet. It has been the impression here ever since Premier Bennett said Canada Would expect preferential treatment of F\ports to the Urited Kingdom in re- Turn for tariff readjustment on im- ports from there that he contemplated asking the British to raise import bar- riers against non-Empire countries be- | hind which the Dominions might find guaranteed markets. U. S. Fears Lessened. That, it was argued, could mean nothing less than discrimination against United States and Argentine wheat and meat and implied higher costs to British consumers. Mrs. Runciman, prior to her hus- band's appointment to committee, elec- trified conference delegates by saying in a press interview that the English people would not agree to any move for an Empire trade union. which would result in higher costs of living. She was believed to reflect the opinion | of her husband and his party. In that light the presence of Runci- man and Thomas on the one commit- tez of the conference which would be- come a natural bridge between it and the proposed World Economic Confer- ence suggests the British may predi- cate empire economic rehabilitation on | the eimination of trade restrictions | between empire nations rather than on a higher tariff wall against other exporting countries. Tn> mother country cannot absorb all the raw materials of the dominions nor can they absorb all the industrial products of Great Britain. Each must look to markets outside the empire, chiefly the United States, 2nd all Brit- ish progress so far at this conference has been toward the preservation of | foreign contacts as well as increased commerce within commonwealth na- tions. Bruce an “Empire Trader.” Stanley Bruce, leader of the Aus- tralian delegation and another member o the committee, is preeminently an “Empire Trader,” proposing that his country give Great Britain every ad-| vantage not now claimed by native industry m return for “reasonable re- ciprocity” in British purchases of Aus- tralian wheat, dairy products, meats, fruits and wool. He, as well as ths Canadian mem- bers of the committee, are expected to urge preference through imposition of | British tariffs against similar products from non-empire nation: Considering that 70 per cent of Great Britain's trade is with foreign coun- tries, however, it was considered pretty conclusive that the effects on the world " (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.)

By the Associated Press AUSTIN, Tex., July 23.—The longest State ballot ever offered in Texas, was before the voters in the first Demo-| cratic primary election. The run-off primary comes next month. 3 On the ballot were 72 names, in- cluding 38 candidates for the three places as congressman-at-large given the State by the last congressional re- apportionment. As an added issue, the Democrats were asked if Congress should be peti- tioned to call a vote in the States on retention or repeal of the ecighteenth amendment. A few counties refused to hold this referendum. Chief interest lay in the Governor's race, in which R. S. Steriing, the in- cumbent, seeks re-election. One of his opponents is Mrs. Miriam A.

B the Associated Press HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 23.— Prof. Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, pioneer in the development of the radio telephone, died yesterday of heart disease. He was 65. He was 20 years old when he came here as a school teacher from Quebec, where he was born. He married a Ber- muda girl, Miss Helen Trott, and went to the United States, where he won wide fame and substantial wealth by his inventions in radio and other fields. Five years ago he retired, purchased an estate here and settled down. That was after he had won a $60,- 000.000 law suit he had filed against | eight manufacturing concerns which he | charged with combining to destroy the value of some of his radio inventions. The case was settled out of court. Here in Bermuda it was believed he had solved the problem of elimination of static, but was withholding his device for reasons of his own. Among his other achievements were the invention of the radio compass, the electrically-driven battleship and nu- merous safety devices for submarines. Liberal Is Elected.

ARMS PARLEY ENDS WITH “PROMISE” OF FUTURE: REDUGTION Germany and Soviet Russia Oppose Resolution Setting Forth Results to Date. TRUCE ON ARMAMENTS CONTINUED UNANIMOUSLY Chairman Henderson Predicts Later Session Will Act on Basis of Hoover Proposals. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland, July 23.—The world disarmament conference which began its work on February 2 adjourned today for an indefinite period after adopting a resclution promising sub- tantial reduction of armaments in its later deliberations. Soviet Russia and Germany voted against the resolution. Both announced in doing so they were voting for dis- armament although they could not support the resolution. The Russian delegate previously had described it as not sufficiently specific, and the Ger- man representative objected to its omission of any reference to the equality of all nations in the right to arm The vote on the resolution was in the committee of the whole, but the full conference adopted the final part Which extends the current armaments truce. This was a unanimous vote with China abstaining. Recess Work Provided. During the recess important com- mittees of the conference will continue their negotiations on various phases of disarmament. Arthur Henderson, British chairman of the conference, ended tde session with an address supporting the resolu- tion. “If T were on the floor I would vote for this resolution although it falls far | hort of my desires,” he said. “I would vote for 1t because it contains these three declarations: “That the time has come to effect a comprehensive scheme of disarmament. “That the nations are firmly deter- mined to achieve the first decisive step involving substantial reduction of armaments. Guided by Hoover Plan. “That this conference is guided by the general principles underlying Pres- ident Hoover's proposal for a reduction of approximately one-third in arma- ments. “How could T vote against a resolu- tion containing those three declara- tions?” This resolution, he said, really puts the conference on the road to dis- armament. “If 1 did not think that substantial reduction of armaments will be real- ized in the second phase of this con- ference,” he declared, “I would ask t be relieved from my post as chairman. He said that hundreds of letters and | telegrams from all parts of the world in the past six months had given him a clear picture of what the people want. “And that,” he said, “is this: They vant qualitative disarmament; they want enactment of the Hoover pro- posals, and they want equal rights for all countries.” Parliamentary Row Unsettled. ‘The Interparliamentary Union, whose meeting yesterday broke up in a row be- ween the French and Italian repre- sentatives. convened this morning in a building not owned by the League of Nations.
