After tho early sittings, members .broke up into committees : to draft reports on special questions, which will bo submitted to tho whole conference. , , - NO MORE GERMAN TYRANNY IN TRADE. Paris, June 13. Mr. W. M. Hughes, in an interview in the "Matin," questioned concerning the prediction of some pessimists that within a decade GermaJi trade would be as'ltourishing as' ever, replied indignantly that those entertaining such a thought were traitors. Mr. Hughes added: "Whatever our business transactions with Germany, they will bo thoso we desire, not those which Germany imposes. Her activity before tho war consisted not only of sending us products, but especially of greatly disorganising our national industries and largely seizing _ control of others. She has acted as a vampire. It behoves us to break down her tyranny for ever."
