Mr. Agan Of Ludlow has elected to
make his appeal TO the people purely
on passion and prejudice. He hopes
there are enough voters in Vermont
blindly opposed to prohibition who

they are pleased to call a protest
against the present order.
Our own feeling is that the yoers
who will follow a fetish to any such
extremes do not bulk large enough to
make an imposing figure in the final
analysis, even through admitting that
every community has members of that
particular type.

To his way OF thinking he is right

Mr.. Agan with much the same spaci-

Cable Deadlock
Seen After Day
OF Debate Here

With view to breaking the dead
lock over distribution of former
German cables in the Atlantic and
Pacific, the International Commu-
nications Conference was in ses-
sion yesterday afternoon. Deter
mination to hold a Sunday session
is a precedent in the procedure OF
the conference. and indicates the
zeal of the delegates.
In favor of one form of settle
ment, America, Great Britain and
Italy find themselves stubbornly ar
rayed against France and Japan.
The conference adjourned after a
late session Saturday night on the
proposals of delegates who hoped
that an eleventh-hour reconciliation
might be reached il negotiations
continued yesterday. From an Of
hcial quarter late last evening 1t
was learned that no definite com
promise settlement has yet been
reached.

The American proposal that the
Guam-Yap sector of the Pacific ca
Bile should be alloeated to the United
States; the Yap-Dutch East Indies
sector to Holland, and the Yap-
Shanghai sector to Japan met with
Japan opposition. The Japanese
contend that Japan should retain
Yap and Yap-Dutch East Indies
sectors.
France determinedly opposed the
American proposal to divert the
German-Azores cable from the
Azores to Genoa, dividing its con-
troll between Italy and the United
States. As far as the Penzance-to-
Halifax cable Is concerned. Great
Britain already has acceded to the
desire of the United States to re-
store 1t to the former connection
between New York and Emden
Germany in consideration for the
transfer to Great Britain of one
of the American transatlantic ca
bles between England and Canada

Announcement will be made in

be brought TO bear upon him to sub
nit a proposal that the worlds three

of five years. During that period
none of them would engage in fresh
construction. The scheme. which is
said to have the active support of
men prominent in the Republican

view to ameliorating the oppressive
financial burdens under which the
American, British and japanese peo-
pie all are bending as an aftermath
of the war.
The project will be given publicity
in Europe through an exclusive ca
blegram to the London Morning Post
