WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—When
the hearing was reopened by the fed
eral trade commission, investigating
the high cost of print paper the paper
manufacturers refused to discuss the
reasonableness of present advancing
prices, and the hearings came to an
abrupt ending. The manufacturers
declared that they had not had time
to study the figures prepared by the
commission experts, which showed
huge profits.
The report of the trade commission
will be presented within ten days, and
recommendation will be made to con
gress.
It is estimated the records in the
possession of the trade commission
are to be turned over to the depart
ment of justice. Publishers say man
ufacturers and jobbers work up short
age reports and scared the small pub
lishers into paying high and exorbi

SEEK RATIFICATION OF A. B.
C. TREATY BY ARGENTINA
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 1.—(By
mail)—Although Foreign Minister
Becu of Argentina is spoken some
what slightingly#of the “A. B. C.”
treaty, the Irigoyen administration is {
trying to get congress to ratify the :
compact.
The fact that the agreement never
had been ratified in this country came
as a big surprise to the overwhelming
majority of Argentines recently. A
few men in important positions knew
it had never received congressional
approval but the popular idea was
that it was an accomplished fact.
The public was undeceived early in
November while negotiations were
pending for a meeting of the “A. B.
C.” diplomatic representatives at Rio
de Janeiro to discuss matters of Ar
gentine-Brazilian-Chilean mutual in
terest. After arrangements for the
gathering had practically been com
pleted, Foreign Minister Becu called
attention to the fact that it would
have to be postponed until the treaty
had been ratified.
Although there will be a strong ef
fort to secure ratification, the step is
also sure to be vigorously fought by
an Argentine element, at least, which
contends that Brazil and Chile really
are unfriendly to their country and
are only trying to gather into a com
bination which will discourage the
preparedness program they maintain
she ought to pursue.
