Americans Adjourn Joint Commission to Meet in Quebec
The American Canadian joint high commission adjourned to reconvene in Quebec on August 2, after talks in Washington. Disputes over the Alaskan boundary and timber policy delayed agreement, while Canadians pressed for concessions US officials deem prejudicial. Progress was made on several issues, and adjournment might yield better harmony on future proposals. A second brief note reports two trainmen killed in separate incidents in Scranton and Carbondale, and a miner killed by rock fall in a Pennsylvania coal mine. A Montreal report states Rios and Revira say their Philippine visit is not political and will not visit the United States.
