ECONOMIC MATTERS 30 Countries Represented at Geneva on League Con- sultative Committee ---- (By Canadian Press) Geneva, May I{S.--The World Eco- nomic Conference laid down & num- ber of principles of economic ty, and it obtained a formal recognition of these principles from most of the nations of the world. But hardly one of these many nations could claim that at one point or another its economic policy did not run con- trary to the principles enunciated at Geneva. Not a few nations pursued and indeed still pursue a policy which is the direct negation of interna- tional co-operation in industry, trade and finance. But the Economi¢ Con- ference was not aware of the prac tical difficulties, It looked to the In- ternational Chamber of Commerce to continue its function of an inter- national parliament for business men. It called into being the Old League Economic Committee, com- posed of Government Experts, and it formed a new Consultative Commit- tee which meets now at Geneva for the first time. This Consultative Committee is composed of 52 members, nominated Laber in 30 countries, under Bh gidency of M. Theunis. Its function is broadly to advise the Economic Organization of the League as to the practicability of the made by the Sceretariat the nations to put into ry what was agreed to at Geneva last year. For this purpose also there has been included in the ranks of the Committee delegations from the In- ternational Chamber of Commerge and from the Internal 1 Institute of Agriculture. The ternational Chamber's delegation comes to report the progress made by itself and from this report it is ble to discern some of the topics of dis- cussion at Geneva. Probably the more interesting of all the subjects to be examined is the Most Favored Nation Clause, and al- though the Chamber declares itself roundly in favor of the widest pos- sible application of this clause in all commercial treaties, without condi- tions or restrictions, there will un- doubtedly be heard the opposite point of view that most favored na- tion treatment is actually a favor for which reciprocal favors must be ex- changed between the two contracting states. A clear divergence of prin- ciple and practice is here disclosed and it will be no easy task to bring the two parties together. Much wil also be heard of the exceptions which must be recognized to the ap plication of the clause, but the In- ternational Chamber considers that good progress will be made jf all countries bind themselves to state REDROSE TEA isgood ted Red Rose Orange Pekoe ~Top Quality In clean, bright Aluminum THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY, 31, 1928 each treaty, what are 'which they lay down. It is the unstated implied exceptions which are the chief source of dis content and discrimination. The International Chamber fur- ther commends to the League the ing | possibility of achieving ' some mea- sure of tariff stability particularly in reference to the current very short duration of commercial treaties. As for tariff levels, it is suggested that before the League tackles the problem of collective reduction of tariff levels it will be advisable at any rate to establish a truce in tariff red | raisi ng. Apart from these more difficult aims to be gained, there are numer- ous other questions on which agree- ment will possibly be much facili: tated by the progress already made. The League's Convention on Prohibi- tions and Restrictions of Importation and Exportation now awaits signa- ture and ratification but so do the numerous resrevations which many states have registered to it. It will at any rate be agreed that reserva. tions must be kept down to the mini- mum necessary. On the Treatment of Foreigners, the Convention drafted by a Committee of Experts is now available for examination, and it will probably prove aceptable without much modification. The Interna- tional Chamber encourages further progrses with conventions pn the ad- mission of foreigners and on the abo- litlon of the passport visa. Customs formalities which have al- ways been the first and easiest ob- jects of international reform will once again come under consideration. A Convention which was agreed to in 1923 on the Simplification of Cus- toms Formalities still lies neglected by many countries which lie chiefly in the Far Hast and in the New World, Their attention is drawn to this omission as well as to the man- ner in which the terms of the Con- vention are not always adhered to even amongst the countries which have ratified. Co-operation is also needed by the League in carrying out those recom- mendationg of last year's Confer- ence on the subject of statistics. The first step is to persuade trades, in- dustries and governments to compile existing statistics on a uniform com- parable basis. Lastly, the Consulta- tive Economic Committee will ex- amine a highly technical subject in a draft which has now been prepared for a uniform classification and no- menclature of all tariffs, This is probably the most immediately con- structive plank in the League, plat- form, but every nation and every "Women who Drive should know these Tire Facts HE more attention you give your tires the more service they will give you in return.

This is especially true of those living in or near Montreal, as Ottawa is only a four hour drive by motor, or three hours by train, from the centre of Montreal, and the Journey to and from the Capital is one of the most interesting and pic- turesque to be found in the vicinity of Montreal, Now that a wide, paved highway connects the two cities theré is little excuse for the average Montrealer not seeing the Capital city. The journey there and back can easily be made in one day, and by taking this trip a new conception of Canada can be obtained. Ottawa is unlike any other city in Canada. It is the Capital, and vast sums of money contributed by all the people of Canada have been spent on its beaptification. The Parliament Buildings have been declared as amon gthe most beautiful legislative buildings in the world, and there are a hundred and one other sights in and around the Capital that should attract the Interest and admiration of every Canadian. . Interesting Route Leaving Montreal by Sherbrooke street or Notre Dame street the trip to Ottawa is along one of the most pleasant and interesting highways in Canada. It is only 125 miles, four hours in'any automobile. First there is St. Annes then the bridges to Isle Perrot and then a lovely trip along the edge of Lake St. Louis and through Rigaud, Point Fortune, Hawkesbury, Rockland and a dozen other charming towns and villages. After seeing the Capital a most inter- esting return trip can be made by way of Morrisburg and along the St. Lawrence canals through Cornwall. In Ottawa there are the Parlia- ment Buildings to see, the Library of Parliament with its 400,000 vol- umes, the Victoria Museum, the Na- tional Gallery with its wonderful col- lection of the paintings of old mas- ters, the Royal Mint where the money of Canada is coined, the Dom- inion Archives where documents, histories, pictures, and flags pertain- ing to the early life of Canada are on display. Crowning all is the Peace Tower, or "Singing Tower" as it is now commonly called. This is the most wonderful structure to be found in Canada. In it is the world's greatest musical instrument, the carillon of 53 bells on which frequent concerts of popular, classical and sacred music are played. To hear these bells even for a half hour is more than worth A long journey to the Dominion capi- Beautiful Side Trips To the lover of flowers and outdoor beauty there is much to attract in Ottawa. The Dominion Experimen- tal Farm is a vast garden of 400 acres, and there are more than 40 miles of driveway, almost a continy- ous flower bed. Visitors to Ottawa during the sun- mer are allowed to wander through the House of Parliament to sit on the chair of the member of their consti- tuency or to sit for a moment on the seat of the mighty, the throne from which Mr. Speaker or His Excellency the Governor General rules House or Drawing Room. Whole days might be spent in these wonderful buildings and still all would not be seen. URGES HARMONY IN FLAG DISCUSSION N. Y. Herald Tribune Dis. cusses Position of British War Veterans New York, May 30.--Comment- ing on the Memorial Day Flag con- troversy, now engaging the minds of the British War Veterans here, the Herald-Tribune yesterday says editorially: "The great mass of the American people 'would feel honored to have the flags of their Allies in the World War displayed in the pa- rades on Memorial Day. They un- doubtc ily deprecate the action of the G. A. R. which has incorporat- ed in its constitution a provision that only thé American flag be allowed in these parades. On the other hand, they recognize a strong obligation of sentiment toward the old soldiers of the-d. A. R. so few of whom still survive; they gladly defer to their wishes, and they trust that those among their former comrades-in-arms who are affected by the ruling in fuestion will abide by it in the same spirit. "Apparently an overwhelming in- clination to do so was expressed by the British 'Great War Veterans' Association when at a general meet- ing on May 14 its members voted unanimously to join the parade in this city, and at the same time to respect the wishes of the G. A. R. Subsequently, however, their presi- dent, Col. I. Thord Gray, entered an elevernth-hour protest against the flag ruling and advised the members of his organization not to march. "Now, therefore, they are di- vided, but with a larZe element seemingly responsive to the coun- ter-protest of their past president, Harry M. Herbert, who would have them carry ct their original inten- tion. "Those of us on the side-lines in this controversy will hope they do. Very possibly they may have a legi- timate grievance which in other circumstances would warrant non- participation. But the present sit- uation hardly calls for a narrow insistence on the demands of pride. Rather, a good-natured acceptance of the conditions imposed. would undoubtedly enhance the feeling of brotherhood that binds Americans to those who fought with them on French soil, under whatever flag." ------ Oshawa Luggage YOUR INITIAL WREE On Suit Case or Club Bag Saywell & Son GREECE TO TRY T0 RESTORE PRESTIG Reconstituted Cabinet Will Continue Pacification Policy Athens, May 30.--Premier Zamis announced yesterday that the re- constituted Cabinet will continue a policy of pacification, will seek to establish financial stability anu wil] attempt to restore Greek pres- tige abroad.
