Washington, May 3-That the sub

by increased shipping, freight selec-
tlon and naval operation, is the main
interest of the British mission. be-
came certain today from many differ.
ent sources. The issue was focused
by Premier Lloyd Georges statement
In parliament recently that the need
was for shipping and still more ship
ping; Lord Percy's explanation is
that the destruction was ouirunning
construction followed by the declara-
tion of Secretaries Lansing and Lane
that the submarine situation Is grave.
1t is now evident that all other mat
ters before the British commission,
however, vital has been subordinated.
The British naval officers In COM
ing to this country, hoped to get
considerable number of small boats
to use Ms submarine chasers but they
have been disappointed to discover
that the few available, are needed
here. The British shipping experts,
however, have found encouragement
in the conferences Of the shipping
board and the availability of many
German ships.
Proposed curtallments of non-es-
sential freight being carried to Europe
would give increased tonnage for
necessary supplies. The American
government has agreed not only to
restrict imports, as the British al
ready do, but to impose exports re-
striction authorized by the bill now
pending In congress.
One of the greatest uncertainties OF
the situation Is q total ignorance OF
the number of U-boats Germany Ia
building. Admiral De Chair has esti-
mated this at two or three week,
but officials here believe 1t possible
to turn out many more on standard
plans. sH&

Three Causes for Increase
The conference brought out that
there had been an enormous increase
in the price of foods. due to three
general causes. Hoardipg of supplies,
alarm of the people that they might
be denied food and a natural short

vocated that the campaign be ex
tended through housewives. not only

The administration has put aside the
objections Of the army general staff to
