 TAP SEAT OF TROUBLE
 So far as the United States is con cerned, the principal issues are con trol Of the cable lines centering at Ithe Island of Tap, in the Pacific ocean and 3, direct line between the United States and Italy. Italy is join ing with the United states in insisting upon the direct cable between the two countries.
 A plcnary session of the delegates to the session scheduled for today, was not held. it was said, because of the impossibility of reaching an under standing among the chiefs of the dele gations of the five powers who met last night informally in an effort to bring about a compromise.
 At this informal conference, it is understood, a proposal was brought forward that instead of proceeding in the attempt for the distribution of the cables among the five powers, an agreement be reached for joint owner ship of the lines. The United States, Great Britain and Italy are said to have supported this plan, and France and Japan to have opposed it.
 ionalization of islands such as Tap to serve as the center for the ca ble communication also is reported 10 have been brought forward at the in- formal meeting last night. but Japan and France are said to have opposed it.
 According to information today in official circles, the American govern ment has proposed that a compromise be effected on the distribution of the cables emanating from Tap and now in the hands of Japan by the allocaton of the Guam mYap cable to the United States, that of the Yap-Dutch Indies cable to Holland and the Yap- Shang- hai cable to Japan. This plan, how ever, is understood to have met with the disapproval of the Japanese dele gates, who contended that Japan should retain at least half interest in the Guam Yap cable as well as in the Yap-Dutch Indies cable.

the dealer, in spite OF the less than
normal demand, was the startling
prediction mado by Edward 8. Jordan,
president Of tho Jordan Motor Car
Company OF Cleveland. at the session
of the Iowa Motor Trades Congress-.
before 100 motor car dealers who
packed the hall. Said Mr.. Jordani
whenever / encounter situation
like the present, I am always re-
minded OF what Lincoln told his son
Tad when he asked him whether he
thought 1t would stop raining. LIN
coin replied, IT has stopped
Briefly the situation at present Is
this. There are no large stocks OF
good cars In tho country. There are
some stocks of cars Of low second
nand valuation. There will be more.
THE day has come when cars that
do not serve the owner will be elm
mated In the second hand market.
Survival OF the manufacturer and
dealer depends on the quality OF sar-
vice built into the car. The day OF
building. merely to catch the public
with price has passed.
THE price Of car In the future
will be figured on this basis: the
price is the sum OF list price. the cost
of upkeep and the second hand de-
probation.
Many dealers and manufacturers
now realize thst there will DO a short
age OF good cars In the spring. even
tho there Is less than the normal de-
mand. There is one big reason for
this. The stocks in dealers hands are
not large and the production has
practically stopped. Even tho the
demand is far short OF normal years
there will be shortage Of popular
selling lines.
IF the industry could resume to-
morrow on 100 per cent basis this
shortage would be turned into an
overproduction. When on attempt is
made to resume. 1t will take ninety
days to get back That means spring.
II don't mean to convey the I'M
preston that there will be !,'
mand In the spring. mean TO- say
that just as soon as 100000 owners
OF cars whose property was depreciat-
ed by the Ford cut price realize that
they will have to lose more Il they
do not trade early in 1921-then
some. thing will happen"
