CUSTOMS BARRIERS.
TO PEACE REVIVAL. CONVENTION OF 35; STATES AT GENEVA. ' FORMALITIES AND FRONTIERS. tßy Electric Cable—Copyright;.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Tuesday, 7.30 p.m.)
LONDON, Oct. 16.
The " Daily Telegraph" Geneva correspondent says the International Conference on customs formalities has opened under the presidency of Earl Buxton. Delegates are present from 35 states, including Australia and New Zealand.
Earl Buxton said none could fail to see how vitally necessary was the expansion of trade and commerce to the economic reconstruction of Europe. It was obvious that a revival was impeded by undue or complicated customs formalities. The after-effects of war and the change of frontiers necessarily tended to increase these hindrances and difficulties.
Mr. Llewellyn Smith, representing Britain, said he had full power to sign the convention and recommended the delegates who were without the necessary authority to obtain it. The German delegate said he would support the efforts of the conference, and hoped agreement would be reached and loyally carried out.
