Replying to a question during the allied supreme council seasion today, he declared that it was with a sense of relief be saw the Silesian problem “referred to a body with which the United States is not associated.” ‘The counci] has just decided to ask the league of nations to solve the Silesian situation, Harvey declared the same view was held by President Harding. “President Harding has felt from the beginning,” he said, “that this matter {s one of European concern, It will be with a sense of relief that he will learn of the confirmation of this view by the supreme council in referring it to a body with which the United States is not associated.” The decision to refer the question to the league council was reached at a burried session of the supreme council. Premier Lloyd George dom- inated the gathering and nervously urged other delegates into disposing of the question, in order that he might return to London immediately to consider Sinn Fein's reply to the British peace proposals, Altho the French indi sion wag breaking up because of dis. agreement over Silesia, the British contended that only a recess was be ing taken, to let Lloyd George re turn to London. ed the ses Spokane Government Costs $35.20 Each WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, — The cont of government in Spokane, Wash., for the fiseal year ending I cember 31, 1920, was $35.20 per cap- ita or a total of $5,676,0: In 1914 the per capita cost was $31.27, Total receipts for 1926 were $4,495,024. or ($43.04 per capita, nd dropped father MW Texas ¢ Mexican Petroler unchan 63% THE SEAT Pressure Resumed on Industrial List HERE IS HEAVY Preasyre on the industrial Nat was resumed with ay ke at T2%, a lows of | fro point on the first sale at 11 » within @ fraction « ldwin, American Sugar at the opening fe ils, up 4; American Up M%) Ameri Daldwin. %; United & on Pacific, 119, u ing made itself felt and a num andjer showed a tendency to ita point from its early low, Rubber advancing 1\% net to 40, while United N.
