WASTIINGTOX, Jan. 22. Delegates
to the pan-American financial con
gress today, got down to considera
tion of definite financial and trans
portation problems through presenta
tion of recommendations of various
group conferences. Representatives
of the South and Central American
countries took the leading part in the
debate.
Consideration of the reports was
Interspersed with addresses by Hous
ton Thompson, member of the United
States federal 'trade commission, who
discussed International regulation of
competition; Paul M. Warburg, for
mer member of the federal reserve
board, who spoke on fiscal and cur
rency standards, and Senator Mc
Cormick of Illinois, who explained the
federal budget system being con-
finsn attention was Riven to the
report of the congress committee on
transportation, which asked the im
mediate extension of ocean freight
nnrt nasseneer transportation facili
ii between the United States and
Kmith American norts. Weekly sail
jngs by fast ships between New York
and Buenos Aires were recommcuueo
to the attention of governmental
ferrii of the interested nations, and
the committee also advanced pro
posals for the betterment of railroad,
postal and cable and' wireless com
munications in Latin-America.
Lower Freight Sought.
The transportation committee asked
that all efforts be used to obtain a
substantial reduction in ocean freight
rates which were said to have ad
vanced so during the war as to prov
an effectual barrier to trade betweeD
the Americas.
Delegates from the Latin-American
countries were asked to work for the
reduction of port dues and the aboli
tion of port requirements which make
the handling of cargo and its trans
shipment difficult and expensive.
Kstablishment of motor-truck high
ways so located as to assist the rail
roads to bring out products from the
Interior also was recommended.
Latin-American countries not yet
Included in the existing postal union
were urged to join, and the extension
of parcels posts systems was asked.
The committee recommended also that
the international highway commis
sion be asked to draft a uniform bill
of lading for Pan-America.
Rafael II. Klizalde, minister from
Ecuador to the United States, acted
as chairman of the session today.
Arbitration Board Urged.
Chilean delegates recommended to
the general conference the suggestion
of John Hays Hammond that ma
chinery for the permanent arbitra
tion of Pan-American commercial dis
putes be set up. The proposal in
volves the creation of a Pan-American
high court of equity, to be com
posed of representatives, of the re
public participating, to which can
be referred for arbitrage and final
settlement any differences that exist
between business men of different
countries engaged in the American
International trade.
Dr. Luis E. Zuherbuhler, president
of the board of trade of Buenos Aires,
warned American exporters that mar
kets secured as a result of abnormal
conditions could only be retained by
study of the needs and tastes of con
sumers.
Dr. Victor Z. Robles, speaking for
trie Chilean delegation aud advocat
Jng American investment in Chilean
enterprises, said that the industrial
production of Chile had grown to
720,000.000 pesos in 1018.
Kstablishment by tho nations of the
world of honestly balanced budgets is
the first step toward stabilization of
foreign exchange and tho restoration
of normal financial conditions, I'aul
M. Warburg of New York, former
member of tho federal reserve board
today told tho second ran-American
conference.
"A country's ability, without addi-
Tfonal borrowing, to balance its regu
lar budget, is the test of Its solvency,'
Mr. Warburg said. "The character of
this test at this juncturo will decide
the measure of its future credit: and
upon that, in turn, will largely do
pend its power to rehabilitate its
commerce and trade aud its foreign
exchanges.
A number of countries will never
again regain their previous exchange
levels, Mr. Warburg predicted. The
ability of thoso countries to produce
and to save, ho added, would deter
mine the extent to which they could
reclaim the shrinkage of their cur
rency standards.
"But whatever the level they may
to able to recover," he continued, "ul
timately it will be to their vital in
terest once more to fasten It to a
definito gold relation and to re-establish
a stable exchange, fluctuating
between tho maxima and minima of
gold parities, without which a coun
try's trade and growth will remain
cubject to a fatal handicap."

tent in Handling Papers.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 22. A. Gross,
Tacoma newsdealer and .bookseller,
was found guilty by a jury In federal
court today on two counts of the in
dictment charging him with selling
seditious literature. A verdict of
not guilty was returned on two
counts.

that an appeal would be taken.
A letter from Emma Goldman to
Gross was read at the trial." William
Randall, arrested with Gross, was
found guilty yesterday.
The letter, which began "Dear Com
rade," was cited by the government
in order to prove the intent of Gross,
who conducted a news stand upon
which the prosecution declares no less
than 80 radical papers were on sale.
Gross, on the stand in his own de
fense, said he was surprised to "be
on trial in a courtroom on the third
floor of the federal building for cir
culating literature which he bad re
ceived through the postoffice on the
first floor." He acknowledged that
he is still a German citizen, though
he has resided in the United States
for 30 years.
The trial of 46 alleged I. W. W.
members will begin in the state

PHILIPPINES STILL WET
Dry Leaders, However, Advise Non-
Payment of Liquor Tax.
MANILA, P. L, Jan. 22. (By the
Associated Press.) Prohibition lead
ers are advising non-payment of
liquor taxes, local and territorial,
claiming them to be illegal. While
local and territorial authorities are
seeking collection of taxes, the pro
hibitionists have sought to prevent
their payment on the assumption that
the United States constitutional
amendment providing prohibition is
automatically effective in the Philip
pine islands.
The Philippine islands are still
wet." The United States district
court in the territory ruled that the
constitutional amendment was inop
erative insofar as the Philippines
were concerned, because of its failure
to specify application to the Philip
pines.

SUGAR PRICE QUESTIONED
Ecct Product Held Victim of Dis
criminatory Tactics.
YAKIMA. Wash., Jan. 22. (Special)
i Merrill Nibley, assistant general
manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company, who is here looking into the
question of the 1920 price for sugar
beets, said he felt certain the price of
beet sugar would advance to meet
that of cane sugar. "Why should we
sell our sugar for a low price when
the foreigner, whose cost of produc
tion Is lower than ours, is permitted
to sell his product for a high price?"
Mr. Nibley asked.
Mr. Nibley said that the 1920 beet
price had not been fixed, and he ex
cused himself from discussing that
question. Yakima growers have
adopted resolutions in the Toppenish
and Sunnyside districts asking that a
minimum price of $15 a ton be estab
lished this season.
