TO GO DRY Intimations That Entire Corps Will Forego Liquor Are Called Absurd WASHINGTON, June 7 (iP) Out of the confusion among members of the diplomatic corps on whether the British embassy will be dry, one single ffcct emerged today the embassy is now wet ana may very well remain so in the future. Members of the corps have closely followed developments in the diplomatic liquor, situation since Sir Esme Howard, the Bntisn amoassaaor, recently expressed willingness to forego the privilege of importing intoxicants if the American Government asked it. They pointed out tonight that so far the ambassador has not by either word or action decreed his mission arid territory. Just Thinking About It Sir Esme has not announced tvt his embassy will be made dry by his refusing to import any more liquors, nor has he indicated that he has taken such action to stop the importation of Jiquors in the future by his staff.

Reports that he had done so have been discredited by the embassy as being "not entirely accurate." The only action which Sir Esmn Howard has taken In the matter has hppn to inform Secretary Stimson that he was "thinking of not import ing any more liquors tor his emoassy, Previous to his imparting this information to the secretary, the ambassador was known to feel that there was considerable uncertainty among the members of the corps regarding the importation privilege. Chile Announces Policy Intimations that the entire corps might go drv were generally and emphatically characterized today as "absurd." Chilean Ambassador Davila issued the following statement in connection with reports that his embassy would by rirv territory in the future: "The Chilean embassy has not heretofore made any comment whatsoever concerning the importation of alcoholic liauors and has no declaration to make now dealing with this mattpr. "Neither will the Chilean embassy consider it necessary to issue any public statement should it decide to suspend the importation of liquors." ARRANGE AGREEMENT ON CENSUS MEASURE WASHINGTON. June 7 JP) The administration bill to authorize the 1930 census and a reapportionment of the house on the basis cf that census went to conference today for adjustment of differences betwen the senate and house with prospects of a report early next week. After the stormv sessions of the lhou.se in which the measure was drastically amended and then revised again along administration lines, there are few major differences between the senate and house versions of the legislation.

Consequently an early agreement by the conference committee is expected. "The house proposed that the census be started next May rather than in November, as provided by the senate. The senate adopted the pro ipojal of Senator Wagner N. Y.h to place the 100.000 employes who will toe used in the two weeks' census taking under civil service but the house struck out that provision.

The incident, coupled with the correction In the text that were made in the last hour, delayed the actual ceremony about 45 minutes beyond the time scheduled for it. When the room had been cleared of smoke, the doors were opened and newspapermen and photographers were admitted.

Like Versailles Signing The ceremony recalled on a small scale the scene at the signing of the treaty of Versailles. Every inch of space in the room was occupied and many spectators stood outside in the hotel court, watching the ceremony through the windows. The crowd and the high powered light projec tors used by the movie men brought perspiration to the brow or every person in the tea room of the hotel, the apartment which has been the headquarters for the committee since its first meeting.

It has been an arduous task. Full Text Delayed The plan is hot one made in secret by mere technicians but is rather one which has taken account of public factors affecting a final settlement. That is the way wise business functions, and as business men we have taken that method here. We may fairly claim for the plan that it reflects our best judgment of what settlement ought to be ar rived at, with the advice, not of governments, but of peoples functioning through a press which modern communications have made instantly effective, in every Interested country in the world." A summary of the report was is sued immediately after the signature ceremony.
