FRENCH NAVAL
 PROPOSA NOT YET OFFICIAL
Conference Che cred by Word That Paris Has Not Given
 o. K. to New Warships
OUTLOOK IS CHEERFUL
Italy Is Satisfied With Ratio Proposed by Hughes Unless
 France Orders Increase

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-(By the Associated Press). ).-Conference ce- velopments took new and hopeful turn tonight when it became known that the French 10-ship building plan was submitted without the ap- proval of the Paris government, and that direct conversations between China and Japan had brought the Shantung controversy near settle ment.
 Naval subcommittee action toward a 5-power pact on naval limitation awaits an answer from Premier Bri- and on both the 10-ship project sub- mitted by French delegates here, and upon the joint counter-proposal con- cured in by Great Britain, the Unit ed States, Japan and Italy, that France accept a capital ship strength of 175,000 tons as compared to her present 164,000 tons in dreadnaughts.
 A three-hour session of the sub- committee today was largely taken up by Albert Sarraut, head of the French delegation, in presenting views Of French naval experts now here. Sec retary Hughes made a brief reply tending to stimulate good feeling among the committee members. The official communique, however. would admit potihng beyond the facts the the committee met, talked, adjourned and would meet again.
 Agreement Believed Near
 Settlement of the Shantung prob lems apparently depends on satisfac- tory arrangement of a few details in- volved in Japanese return of the Tsing Tao-Tsinan Flu railroad in tn 5 Kiao Chow lease hold. Further in- structions were received today by the Japanese deelgates, and although their exact nature was not disclosed, there was evident tonight among both Japanese and Chinese a feeling that a final agreement was only a question of hours.
 As to the French proposals for a new fleet of 10 35,000-ton capital ships, which stunned conference circles when they first became known yesterday, it was learned that the were framed here 3by direction of Admiral de Bon, chief French naval expert, under his authority from the delegation to present the views of the French naval general staff. Pre- mier Brand and former Premier Vii viani both had left before the pro- posals were framed. The Paris gov ernment has been informed by cable of the situation.
 1t was evident tonight that the 17E 000-ton capital ship limitation for France was proposed by the Ameri- can delegation originally. Italy's spokesman in the subcommittee, Senator Schanzer, replied that Italy accepted the American point of view as to tonnage and would De satisfie

FORTUNE VOTED
 ID AID RUSSIA
House Bill For Expenditure of 20 Millions For Starv-
 ing Adopted Yesterday

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA bill au thorizing the president te spend S2O.- 000.000 out of the funds of the United States Grain Corporation for relief of the distressed and starving people of Russia was passed tonight by the house, IA to 51.
 Opponents of the measure forced a roll call on the ground that the vote as announced did not include a quor- um. The roll call resulted, 1S1 to T, and the bill goes to the senate.
 In two hours of debate over the measure, the house attempted to chop it to pieces with amendments. The first test was on an amendment to reduce the amount from $20,000,000 to $10,000,000, which was defeated, IS to 60.
 Protesting against use of funds for the people of any foreign nation, Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions committee said it was easy to vote tax on the backs of the A,neri- can people and cry at the same time for economy.
 There are conditions of distress In this country which would appal con- gross if I dared to relate them" he shouted.
 When the time came to receive amendments, more than a score of members demanded recognition. In the midst of them. Representative Goodykoontz. Republican, West Vir- ginia, stepped forward with a new paragraph which would direct the

MEXICO OPENS
FARM PRODUCTS
SHOW ON COAST
Occupies the Entire Floor
of a Downtown Office
Building in Los Angeles;
to Attract Investors.

Los Angeles, Calf, July 1.-The
| Mexican government has opened
here its first permanent agricul-
tural exhibit In the United States
1t consists of a display of Next
can products gathered from all sec.
tons of the republic and fills an
entire floor of downtown office
building.
The exhibit was designed to ap-
peal to the prospective investor in
Mexico. Connected with the dis
play, which Is similar to the exhib-
its of chamber of commerce, are
officials to furnish information to
those contemplating starting in
business with or in Mexico. The
exhibit was put in through Sam
uel G. Vazquez, with the Mexican
department of agriculture and de-
velopment.
The move Is announced as an
evidence of Mexico's determination
to redeem herself as great pro-
ductive nation and as one of the
first steps in the Obregon admin
istration's program to branch out
into commercial centers of the
United States and to call attention
to Mexico as land of commercial
opportunities and promise.
Mexico On Her Feet.
1.-THE average American has the
wrong conception of the Mexican
people," says Mr.. Vazquez, who
recently returned to Los Angeles
following a two years tour through
his native land. ITO him the Mex
lean is the villain Of the motion
picture screen, and he attributes
all the defects and vices of that
character to the entire race. The
Mexican thinks that the citizen Of
the United States is a man with
but one aim in life--chasing the
almighty dollar.
1T Is most unfortunate that the
two countries could not have been
more understanding neighbors, but
this Is now being overcome by the
honest desire of both to unite in
closer commercial bonds.
Mexico is once more on her
feet. Peace has been attained. To-
day we are working hard to make
up for the time lost during the
ten-year revolution. The people of
Mexico are reuniting to reconstruct
the country. Opportunity is now
given to competent citizens of our
republic, which is attracting more
capital than any other nation has
ever received.
THE great influx of foreign In
vestors is due to the changing sem
timent toward our country which
is becoming more marked every
day."
