After reviewing the fruit industry’s importance to the Un- ion of South Africa and citing its growth, a South African supplementary statement added: U. S. Fruit Mentioned. “Competition, however, from foreign countrics, and some of the South American coun- tries. is becoming increasingly strong “Great Britain has granted 10 per cent preferences on fresh fruits, but it has already become patent that in the case of citrus this preference cannot | e effective. “The position is such that the union 1s forced to ask for further considera- tion of its fruit exports and also in regard to its wines and tobaccos.” The Irish Free State delegation to- day clarified its position in view of the present Anglo-Irish tariff war by ce- claring it will participate to the fullest | the | present conditions existing between the | extent possible, - baviog inmind Free State and th United Kingdom.” Both the British and Free State delegations_have announced they wish to avaid their own private difficulties during this conference. In explaining the stress upon fruit trading. the South African statement had _this to say: “The fruit incustry has become of great importance to the union, involving relatively large areas, and thousands of farmers are dependent upon the in- dustry. Its growth is reflected in the export value which in 1931 amounted to close on £1.500.000 ($7.300.000 at par) to Britain alone and in the fact that nearly 10.000.000 trees are not yet in full bearing. Delegates Meet Separately. “The union department of agricul- ture has developed excellent systems of acking, grading and Pait, with {he result that South Alrican fruit has alreacy made a name for itseif in Great Britain, which is its best market.” The delegations of the nine natlons | in the empire me: separately todas > | consider the proposals for empire pref- erence of th> four dominions which have alreadv spoken—Canada, Aus- tralia, New Zealand and South Africa. Canada and New Zealand were not specific in their suggestions, merely offering a wider preference for similar treatment. Serious business was expected to be taken up Monday after an adiourn- snent over the week end. The British Gelegation may make a preliminary announcement then to the committee to proinote trade wi‘hin the empire. Meanwhile all concerned prepared for a week end of social engagements in this Canadian capital. Most dele- gates will attend the preseniation of the colors to the foot guards of Gov- ernor-General Lord Bessborough, to- morrow. The governor general's foot guards comprise cne of Canada's crack regi- ments and the presentation will take place at Rideauhall, the home of th2 governor-general. The Canadian’ program which soon will be pres-ntect f detail is regarded as a suggestion that Great Britain im- pose a tariff on meat and wheat im- ported from countries outside the em- pire. When he submitted the outline of his roposals yesterdsy Premier Bennett of anada asked for extension of British preferences to Canadian imports in re- turn for increased Canadian preferences to British manufactured goods. Great Britain has no tariff on wheat and meat and until there is one no preference can bs granted dominion products in British markets. Persons close to the United Kingdom delegation said there was a belief the specific results of the Canadian pro- posals on London's policy would include a British tariff on focd products and preferential treatment for those im- ported from Canada. Neither the Can- adian nor the British wheat trade favors a quota system for Empire grain in British markets. Thercfore, it is argued. if Canada is to be repaid in kind for preferential freatment cf British prod- ucts, it must be through a British tariff system which will raice barrers against other exporting nations in favor of Em~ pire nations. Presumab y this situation will be cussed early in the negotiations of ti ral conference committees whicl were app-inted todey #The open szssions of this conference are over and the real bargain'ng will be done in ccmmittee. It is not likely there will be another cp:n session of importance until the c:mmittees have something concrete to present. British Shun Barriers. In addition to Mrs. Runciman's dec- laration, it is the opinion of American observers that it will be difficult to per- suade the British merchant to depart from his policy of buying where the prices are lowes That British precedent, the Ameri- cans say, was reflected by Stanley Bald- win, 1 who said in his reply to Premier Ben- neft’s address of welcome that the way to prosperity lay in the lowering of trade barriers ai tiohs themselves rather than in raising them against others.

West. acting corporation counsel of the District Covering more territory than the original order from the Treasury on Thursday. which asked only possession of the Avenue area, and which had been used by the Commissioners as the basis for their general evacuation order, later withdrawn, it also set a “dead- lLine” in comparison to the first order. which gave the District officials the privilege of fixing the time for the vet- erans to move. Parley Set Tomorrow. The order was the first product of the conferences which were started after the general evacuation flat, and which caused the Commissioners to de- lay execution pending settiement of legal questions raised. Scme doubt had been expressed, it was explained, as to whether the District Commissioners could order Federal property vacated. but it was decided that the Treasury Department, as owner, had a right to ask for possession. and another con- ference will be held :n the office of the United States atforney tomorrow afternoon to decide what steps must | be taken in court if the veterans resisf. | and eviction by force is necessary The new order calls for possession of these areas: Pennsylvania avenue to Micsouri avenue. between Third and Sixth streets, which is occupied by the 6th Regiment, Bonus Expeditionary Force, composed of veterans from the South and Southwest; Twelfth to Thir- | teenth between C and D streets south- west. where the 2d Regiment, composed of Westerners, is billeted, and Twelfth | to Fourteenth. between B and C streets southwest. occupied by the Rank and File group, a “left wing" organization headed by John Pace of Detroit, which ! has been actively identified with moves | to picket the White House.

The veterans took the ultimalum in good part. Grant Reveals Move. While this move was in progress, { Col..

As he explained it. he had only “loaned” these ,areas to the District 26 an emer- gency measure, and he considers the emergency at an cnd. It is illegal, he pointed out, for persons to camp on Federal-owned land here. Col. Grant, who has been a party to the confer- ences on removal strategy. is of the | sioners to repossess the territory in question. Commissioner Reichelderfer said ve: terday afternoon, however, that no move would be taken before an opinion on procedure had been given by Acting Corporation Counsel West.

CONFERENCE HERE Democratic Senators and House Members Remain for Powwow This Week. __ (Continued’ From Pirst Page) conformity with the census population is New Jersey, whose electoral vote also 1928. Jersey will have a block of 63 electoral votes, a large slice out of the 266 needed 10 c.cct & President. It is no wonder, then, that Mr. Farley has bestirred himself in Jersey and in New York to allay the Il feeling arising out of the bitter contest between the Roosevelt and Smith followers in the pre-conven- “ion campsign and at the Chicago con- vention. His trip to Massachusetts to Gov. Ely and to persuade him to visit Gov. Roosevelt this week in Albany is all of & plece of his efforts to get the Smith following in line in New Jersey and New York. Consistently Republican, In presidential elections New York has been Republican pretty consistently. The only Democrats who have carried it are Tilden, Cleveland and Wilson, in presidential races, and Wilson's vic- tory in 1912 was a mere plurality vic- tory over the divided Republican forces ) supporting Taft and Roosevelt. Cleve- land carried New York twice and los it once, but by a narrow margin each time. Tilden's lead over Hayes in' 1876 was very small. Hughes carried New York in 1916 over Wilson, although the Iatter was elected President. The only Republican who has been elected Presf dent without the support of New York was Hayes and he squeaked by after a contest in which the election was thrown into the hands of an electoral commission. If past performances mean anything, it would appear that the success of President Hoover in New York is even more important to the Republican cause than the success there of Roosevelt. In other words, it does not look as though Mr. Hoover could win the coming election without win- ning in New York and it may be pos- sible for Roosevelt to win without New York—but a doubtful possibility. To win without New York, President Wilson in 1916 had to have with him California. California this vear is re- garded as good Hoover territory, partly aue to the fact that Mr. Hoover is a Californian. And California this year will have 21 votes in the electoral col- lege instead of only 13 she had in 1928 anc in 1916, due to the congressional eapportionment. Democrats quite naturally are point- ling to the big vote by which Gov. | Roosevelt was re-elected Governor of New York in 1930, when he won by a majority of 725001 over Tuttle, his Republican opponent. However, in the presidential year 1928. Roosevelt's vic- | tory over the Republican, Ottinger, was | by a margin of only 25,564, and in that | vear President Hoover carried the State !against Alfred E.

A report that about 150 California veterans housed in the 1200 block of B street southwest planned to take pos- session of an abandoned orphan asylum in Cottage City, Md., now occupied by a destitute family of four adults and five children, was denied last night by R. H. Shaw, leader of the bonus-seeking up. The family, that of George William | Snyder, includes his wife, four children, | ranging in age from 8 to 13, an older son, the son's wife and 7-year-old daughter. They moved into the old building after they had been ejccted Thursday from their home because | they were behind in their rent.

Bartlett, member of the International Joint Commission. Camp Bartlett, however, was set up with Na- tional Guard tents and rolling kitchens and the veterans have been ordered to Teturn all this equipment by August 1. Meanwhile, there came a warning yesterday from the veterans' administra- tion that no more transportation could be furnished homeward-bound veterans after tonight midnight, @nd arrange- ments were made to keep offices open | from 9 o'clock this morning until the last possible minute, to care for those who seek the two kinds of aid—railroad tickets or fuel money if they are travel- ing by automobile. 4,642 Applications Made. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning. it was announced at the administration offices that there had been 419 applicants for transportation in the preceaing 24 hours, establishing a new high mark, an dthat a total of 4,642 applications had been received since this offer first was made. From 9 to 12 yesterday, 242 more Vi erans applied, and there were additional applicants in the next hour, until the offices were closed, but this number was not available. In this connection, Gen. Frank T. Hines estimated that there are about 3.500 veterans still here, and that the peak number ever in the Capital, on the basis of the “most reliable information™ he had received, was about 8,000, in- small number. He said that the rest had been drifting out of town, and that | he intended returning to Los Angeles | to consolidate his forces again and carry their campaign on in the Coast country. The remnant left behind chose Arthur | Scott as their leader, and he told Supt. of Police Glassford' that they would leave town Thursday, the delay being occasioned by those men who were tak- ing advantage of the new law which allows veterans who have only recently obtained bonus certificates to obtain in- | itial loans, instead of waiting two years.

The immediate result of the action of the little states and the opposition. avowed or unavowed. of Japan, Italy. Russia and Germany, seems to have been merely to strengthen the deter- States and France to continue to work together. The chief criticism of the malcontents | against the resolution is that it fails to i do justice to the Hoover proposals. This {is not the viewpoint of delegation. _ Certainly the Americans would have liked to achieve more. But in making such a treaty as this. one ideas on others. evitable. Realization Not Impossible. Compromises were in- | race was due to the fact that hundreds | of thousands of Republicans, disgusted | because Tuttle had come out “wet™ stayed away from the polls. The total Republican and Democratic vote cast { for Governor in 1930 was 2,815,683, as | compared to total vote cast in 1928 4.234,822. It is fair to say, however, | that the total vote cast in the guberna- { was only 2.799.954, when Al Smith de- eated Ogden Mills, present Secretary of 'mz Treasury. Tuttle’s vote was about 230.000 less tnan the vote cast for Mills. | Roosevelt in his 1930 race made a re- | markable showing up-State, and it is upon his strength up-State, usually a Republican stronghold. that the Demo- crats are relying particularly this year in the presidential contest. He must have, however, support, too, in New York City, usually overwhelmingly Demo- cratic. and it is in New York City that Roosevelt has to face the enmity of many business men and interests and the Smith Democratas, who were ! trained in the pre-convention campaign to hate the New York Governor. | "So far Al Smith has done nothing more than declare that he will back the Democratic party. He has said no word about Roosevelt. All kinds of efforts are being made to bring about & reconciliation between the old political friends. If it comes, undoubtedly | Roosevelt will be in better position in | the East. Prank Hague of New Jersey, chief Smith leader in the convention, has gone all the way over to Roosevelt, and it appears now that Gov. Ely of Massachusetts is about to get on the Roosevelt band wagon after shying off for several weeks. Sees Success In Efforts. Senator Harrison of Mississippi and Senator Hull of Tennesee both said last night they believed that the ef- forts to unite the Democratic factions in the East, particularly New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, back of Roosevelt were meeting with marked success. “I never had any idea that the Smith forces would not support Gov. Roosevelt,” commented Senator Har- rison. Nevertheless reports of much bit- terness against Roosevelt among fol- lowers of Gov. Smith continue to per- sist. The Republican campaign is waiting on the acceptance speech of President Hoover, who will be officially notified of his renomination August 11. Even | after that there will be a lull, with organization work the main activity. President Hoover's close political ad- visers expect the President to make several trips away from Washington to deliver speeches during the late Summer and Fall, although they con- tinue to insist he will make no general Emize around the country campaign- ng. The Republicans are looking to aid | from former President Calvin Coolidge in the campaign. They believe that Mr. Coolidge will be & tower of strength, if he gets int the campaign, for the !

As a good Republi- can, Republican leaders say, the former President may be expected to do his share in the campaign. They look to ;him to be particularly effective in the | East and in New England. | _Former Gov. Nellie Tayloe Ross. Vic chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has returned to her desk at national headquarters in Washington after conferences with Gov. Roosevelt and Chairman Farley in regard to cam- paign plans relating to women. In conformity with the statement issued by Chairman Fariey last week, Mrs. Ross plans to throw into the cam- paign all the machinery which she and her woman associates have built up. “Steadily and enthusiastical the women of the Democratic_part; Ross says, “have been building organi- zation in the interim since the 1928 election, with gratifying results. Now with a standard bearer so inspiring as Gov. Roosevelt, they are ready and eager to throw all their energles and Tesources into the campaign.” Mrs. Ross announces that her time during the campaign will be divided between the Washington neadquarters and the campaign headquarters in New York, when not in the fleld upon speaking trips.

For submarines, the reduction for Britain and the United States would be a third, but for France France also asked if the United Stat would consent to a one-third budgeta reduction, and the United States re- fused. Nevertheless the United States got France and Britain to agree to “sub- stantia! reduction” of all arms. President Hoover proposed to abolish tanks.

To the American proposal to abolish bombing planes, both the French and British said they might agree if a way could be found by international control to prevent the use of other military types, especially civilian _transpo: planes, as bombers.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md, July 23.—Six au- tomobiles have been seized, as many men have been arrested and one col- ored man has been killed, the Maryland State police announced today as the result of a gampaign they have been conducting against bootleggers’ auto- mobiles using smoke screens and driv- { ing at 70 to 80 miles an hour on the ‘Washington-Baltimore boulevard. According to Lieut. R. M. Ridgely. & Washington colored man is believed to be the chief figure in the operation of the smoke screen cars. Three times he has attempted to run down State po- licemen, according to Lieut. Ridgely, and has sent word that he plans to “get” one particular State policeman. The State police, said Lieut. Ridgely, have declared war on this man and intend to put an end to his speeding cars which throw smoke screens to the danger of every automobilist using the highway. Protection of Traffic. “Enforcement of the prohibition law is not our business,” said Lieut. Ridgely. “But protection of automobiles on_the ‘Washington boulevard from cars which drive at from 70 to 80 miles an hour is our_business “For some time these cars have been using a smoke screen, generated from oil and lamp black. The smoke screen ap- paratus is attached to the exhaust. When prohibition agents approach them {the drivers of these cars release the smoke screen forcing the agents to slow up. When these cars took to run- | ning 70 and 80 miles an hour, it be- e our business to take a hand. “Last Thursday, after picking up a number of other cars which used this screen and drove at high speed, we were waiting at Dorsey’s stretch, near Laurel, when one of these cars came by. We went after it and it let out a smoke screen as it passed through Laurel at & speed of at least 80 miles an hour. “I was in a car following them, my machine being driven by one of the in- spectors of the Motor Vehicle Commis- sioner who is an expert operator. The car ahead was traveling 80 miles an hour. There was no doubt about that. Dry Agents Join Chase, passed Laurel and went on into the District. Prohibition agents joined in the chase and at the District line ‘Washington police took part. At Mich- igan avenue and North Capitol street, the car we were persuing struck a tree and the driver, a colored man. was killed. Another colored man attempted {to run away but we caught him. The car was loaded with 20 drums of liquor. The man_who was killed was Eddie Brown. His companion was William Waite.” Not all of the cars which have used smoke screens are under direction of the one Washington bootlegger, accord- ing to Lieut. Ridgely. but he says he feels sure that a number of them are By the Associated Press Secretary of Agriculture Hvde Yt terday moved to supply jobs to thousands by approving apportionmeni of ihe 1 $120,000.000 provided by the relief bill | for emergency construction on the Fed- | eral-aid highway system. | Differing from the usual funds which | must be matched by State moneys, the | emergency appropriation may be used | by the States to match the annual Fed- | eral aid.
