TRADE CONVENTION
“MILK AND WATER AFFAIR.” BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. GENEVA, Oct. 31. Although nothing definite has yet been accomplished at the Trade Conference, the position is clearer. Thus far difficulties have arisen through certain States desiring to maintain temporary prohibitions actually in force. Thus Britain prohibits the importation of dyes, and Germany, as an offset, made what she considered a compensating prohibition in respect of pit coal. Other European countries, owing to .the cost of coal, had to keep back their resources of iron and other commodities.
The present attitiido of the States now represented at Geneva is to allow the maintenance of the existing prohibitions for a limited period, but these must be made known at the time of signature. In Geneva the opinion is that the convention will be a milk and water affair, with little binding force.
