Geneva. In the presence of the of
ficlal American delegation headed by
Representative Stephen 0. Porter of
Pennsylvania, the fourth International
conference for International control
of the traffic in habit forming nar
cotic drugs opened Monday in the
League of Nations palace. The con

Zahle, Danish minister to Berlin, and
loading Danish delegate to the League
of Nations assembly.
The object of the conference is to
obtain an agreement for limitation of
the exportation and importation of
narcotics to me '.ical and scientific
needs.
An American offensive launched at
the very start appears to have Im
pressed the delegates to the confer
ence that the United States is de
termined to do everything humanly
possible to bring about results from
an international gathering which has
been convoked to strike another ef
fective blow at opium and narcotic
drugs.
A bitter dispute between delegates
of Japan and England at a different
conference one for suppression of
opium smoking in the Far East near
ly disrupted the latter parley Sun
day and serious fears were enter
tained that Its effects might be noted
at the new conference.

STEGK TO CONTEST
BROOKHART VICTORY
Des Moines, la Ballots thrown out
by election juiges in numerous Iowa
counties and estimated to number
thousands may decide who shall be
Iowa's junior senator Smith W.
Brookhart or Daniel F. Steck.
These ballots, missing from the of
ficial tabulations will form the basis
of a contest of the recent senatorial
election.
Steck will institute the contest, he
said, to demand definitely the will of
the Iowa voters rather than for the
purpose of obtaining the senate seat
for himself.
The total vote as shown by the com
plete county canvasses was Brookhart
447,711, Steck 446,961.

CHAMBER OPPOSES
TAX PUBLICITY LAW
Washington, D. C. Immediate re
peal of the law permitting publica
tion of income tax returns and estab
lishment of a tax commission to sim
plify tax regulations was urged by
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States in a statement outlining
its position on national economic ques
tions presented to President Coolidge.
The chamber also asked for exten
sion of the budget system, a continua
tion of the principles embodied in the
railroad labor board, establishment of
an immigration commission to recom
mend and administer legislation and
the development i waterways.

the statement declared, "violates the
good faith which the government owes
to its citizens to protect them in their
private affairs."

abolition of the railroad labor board,
was assailed as a "long step backward."
