IN FIGHTING SHIPS.
WOULD PROTECT SEA LANES
Opposes the British Thesis Against
Submarines and Desires, II the
Conference Will Let Her, to

Washington.-If France should de-
mand, as already indicated. that her
tonnage allowance for dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers be the same as
Japan's and her submarine tonnage
as large as that of Great Britain. Italy
will not rest content unless she be
placed on a par with her Mediterran-
can neighbor, France, in the allot-
ment of naval strength.
Italy, according TO an eminent
Spokesman in the conference on limi-
tatiOn of armaments. must be as strong
on the sea as any other Mediterranean
power. excluding, of course. Great
Britain. She is suffering from over
population and must Depend on sea
communications for foOdstuffs, raw
materials for her industries and for the
| coal to keep these going and save her
| people from freezing. She needs a
navy sufficient in strength to assure
her of protection along her sea lanes.
If other Mediterranean powers are
willing TO reduce their naval arma-
ments. Italy will follow suit, but in the
absence of such assurances she must
make adequate provision for her sea
defenses.
Like France, Italy is unwilling tC
subscribe to the British thesis against
submarines. 1t is not her desire to en-
gage in the construction of costly capi
tai ships. She desires TO specialize II

To REDUCE RATES
Commission Makes Specific Decision
for Decrease Amounting to
16 Per Cent.

WashingtOn.-A positive order was
issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission requiring railroads TO put
the approximately 10 per cent decrease
in hay and grain rates into effect on
or before next December y.
The order follows up the decision
given October 20 by the commission,
which declared grain and hay rates
from the Mississippi Valley to the
Pacific Coast unreasOnably high. but
which did not carry compulsory or
ders. The October decision instructed
the railroads To make the reduction
by November 20 which was not done
because the railroads opened negotia-
tions with the commission suggesting
that a 10 per cent decrease in freight
rates on all agricultural products be
substituted for the larger decrease on
grain products and hay alone.
The commission, however, by the
order issued here. disregarded the
compromise proposed by the railroads
and makes the larger decreases on
hay and grain mandatory upon the
roads.
The order made specific and definite
che hay and grain reductions. The or
iginal decision said the railroads
should reduce the rates on the prod
ucts concerned by One-half of the in
creases given in 1920. The commits
sion ordered hay and grain rates be-
tween points in Mountain Pacific ter
ritory at not more than 12.5 per cent
above the rates in effect before the
1920 Increases. Between points in the
western group as defined in its decision
where 40 per cent Increases were al
lowed in 1920. the commission ordered
them made effective as 20 per cent be
tween other western group points. In
} commission held rates shall not excee'
11.5 per cent above the old schedules
= and between points In the Mountain
Pacific group and points in the wester
4 group the Increase above the old 1872
{ schedules shall be held TO 16 2/3 pc
! cent.
