Ambassador to Confer Here on Proposed Franco-American Commercial Treaty. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 22.—Ambassador Havre to sail for the United States. He plans to consult with the ad- ministration at Washington over the proposed Franco-American commercial treaty and to give his own impressions of the Far Eastern situation and the disarmament question. Orre of the Ambassador’s ambitions is to wontribute to the settlement of the | war debts question before he retires | from his post, but there is an unofficial | understanding between Prance and the American Government that this issue will not be discussed until after the | American presidential election. | It was thought likely, however, that the Ambassador, on the present visit, | would ask ior instructions for the future | negotiations and present his own views. In the proposed commercial treaty, the United States, in return for de facto | most favored nation treatment from France, would extend administrative | protection to such French goods as dress | models and chemical and medlclml“ products.

OKLAHOMA CITY, September 22— The Oklzhoma farmers'. selling holiday was in_efect today, applying not only to grain and live stock, as in other States joining in the movement, but also to cotton. At Oklahoma City and Muskogee there was no diminution in live stock receipts yesterday, the first day of the holiday. Prices were slightly lower than a month ago. Unless prices reach the cost of pro- duction levels within the 30-day period the holiday associations also plan to withhold produce from market. Frowning on violence, the le:ders of the State movement said peaceful picketing would not be opposed. What to Buy The conversation lately among many people is about what they are anxious to buy. The economy talk so popular a short time ago has given way to the desire to buy what peo- ple have wanted for so long. - It might be a new suit or dress or an automobile or a home or a washing machine or refrigerator or new heating plant or any number of things.
