American Importers would lie glad enough to get the furs and bristles, but the amount of theaa cnmmoilltlea Is said to be too small to form any con siderable volume of trade.

Owing to the worldwide shortage of print paper American capitalists are considering with Interest the possibili ties of the wood pulp Industry In Rus sls.

BRYAN CALLS ON BORAH; TALK OF WORLD PEACE Significance Given Incident Because, of Their Recent Conferences With Harding. Washington, Dec. II. (A. F.) Wil liam J. Ilryan, who visited President elect Harding at Marlon recently, held a lengthy conference Wedneaday with Henator Ilorah, of Idaho, a leader among republican opponents of the league of nations. The purpose of Mr. Brysn's visit hare, It wss stated reliably, waa to dls cuas poaalhllltlea of aecurlng an agree ment or reaching some common ground In the movement toward a concord for maintenance of world peace. From v inn could he learned of his conference with Henator Borah It was Indicated that Senator Borah remained Impla cable toward any arrangement . Involv ing nny International alliance. significance was given Mr. Brysn's call upon Henator Borah, because of the former's very recent tslk with Hen ator Harding, and the former cabinet premier's expression after his Marlon visit of hopefulness for a solution of uoilil pence problems. Henator Borah also discussed the subject with Senator Harding for nn hour outing the latter s stopover here early mis month Information received here from sen ators and othera who have conferred with the president-elect is that Hena tor naming has formulated In his mind only the broad general outline of cf fectlng an arrangement for peace, and has not yet come to a consideration of details of any plan. Home who have visited the president-elect, however, state that he apparently does not con template absolute discard of the treaty of Versailles, but is considering incor poration of certain features at least In developing his peace policy of certain principles believed helpful toward pre venting war. Establishment of a world court, de velopment of a new code in Interna tional law and procedure are other fea tures of Henator Harding's thought, ac cording to word brought here from the Marion conference. Difficulties of establishing a world court or substituting some such plan lor I In- league ol nations, however, are being discussed privately among sena tors. "A Judicial league Is no more feasi ble than a political league." was the statement today of Henator Reed, ot Missouri, prominent democratic Irrec oncilable, who had a long talk with Henator Harding last week, "it Is the accepted rule," said Henator Keed, ih.it no Judge shall sit In anv case In which he has any Interest: also that the litigants themselves should not par ticipate In the Judgment. lake the case of the Panama canal tolls question. If submitted to an In ternational court the American Justice would be bound, under the accepted practice, to retire. If Great Britain raiaed. the question of tolls. It might bo that the British Justice also would retire, but this would leave settlement of the question to Judges representing nations which have interests Identi cal with Great Britain's In seeing that American vessels should not have free tolla through the canal." k Henator Reed's statement was ad vanced to Illustrate trials facing actual development and drafting of agree ments for a world court plan. In connection with the Panama canal tolls question some of those who have conferred with Senator Harding re cently and returned here believe that one of the first acts of the new admin istration will be to restore the free toll provision for American shipping. That the president-elect hos not yet Indicated nor determined finally In his own mind the make-up of his cabinet Is word brought hero dy returning Ma rlon visitors. Selection of a secretary of state, it was said, appears to be Mr. Harding's most difficult problem. It wns said by some of his visitors that this would be the laat post to be acted upon. Charles I3. Hughes, It was stated by one close In the president elect's confidence, Is being considered very seriously for the premiership. In this connection Henator Knox, of Penn sylvania, mentioned often as timber for secretary of state, today denied re ports that he had conferred with Mr. Hughes regarding the cabinet place or had advised Mr. Hughes to accept an offer. Friends of Senator Knox, who have urged his nppolntmeut by Mr. Hnrdkng. nlso said that they bad re turned from Marlon with the 'definite conviction that Mr. Knox would not be chosen.
