BRITAIN ANXIOUS
TO BAR ALL SUBS
Italy, France and Japan OPP
pose; U. S. Suggests
Compromise.

Washington-Gre Britain'S plea
that the submarine be banished from
the seven seas, was presented TO the
arms conference Thursday, but it re-
ceived no support from any other
power.
In turn, the spokesmen of France,
Italy and Japan replied that they re-
garded submarines. when properly en-
ployed, as a legitimate and valuable
arm of naval strength, and were un-
prepared to see them abolished.
The American delegates took no
final stand on the question, but sug-
gested that the conference turn its
efforts toward such a revision OF in
ternational practices as would prevent
a repetition of the ruthless submarine
methods of the world war.
While the naval problems were In
the place of prominence during all Oh
the days negotiations, the delegates
found time to give increasing atten-
ton to the discussion in American Of
ficial quarters over Interpretation OF
the new four-power treaty. They
weighed the possible effect of the diff
ference of view between President
Harding and the American delegates,
and watched developments in the SEN
ate, where a group is organizing to
oppose ratification of the pact.
Meantime the Japanese announced
they had prepared to present at the
next meeting of the Far Eastern COM
mittee, now expected to be held soon,
a statement in opposition to China's
request for abrogation of the agree
ments that resulted from the "21 de-
mands." No further instructions came
from Toxic to permit resumption OF
the Shantung negotiations, and 1t was
indicated that the naval discussions
would continue to occupy the major
attention of the delegates until after
Christmas.
The case Of Great Britain against
the submarine was presented to the
committee Thursday by Lord Lee,
chief of the British admiralty, who de-
clared that under water craft not only
outraged all considerations of human
ity, but by illegitimate methods jeop-
ardized the national life of the British
isles. AS a defensive weapon, he ar
gued, the submarine had proved inef-
fectual except in limited way.

1922 BANNER YEAR
FOR CONVENTIONS
New Orleans Will Be Meet
mo Place for 29 National
State Gatherings

New Orleans.-New Orleans will be
nne Of the country's greatest conven-
tion centers in 1922, according to re-
mort of the Tourist and Convention
Rureau of the Association of Com
merce at its annual meeting Thursday.
The American Legion gathering in the
fall. which is expected to bring 100000
visitors, and the Knights Templar tri-
ennial conclave which opens April 2S
are two of the 20 state and national
gatherings listed for the year.
Martin Behrman was elected chair
man of the bureau to succeed ]. D..
Kenny, who becomes vice-chairman
for 1922.
Tourist and travel business through
out the country in 1921 declined from
o5 to 40 per cent, according to the re-
mort. These conditions, it was pointed
out, made it difficult to induce nation
al organizations to hold their meetings
far from the main centers of popula-
ton. but Notwithstanding this the bu-
reau listed 81 conventions, many OF
them national in scope.
The American Legion convention
was obtained for the city after six
months of effort, the campaign having
been launched by the Tourist and Con-
vention Bureau. The secretary of the
bureau worked with the committees
from the beginning, and was active at
Kansas City when the vote was taken
that brought the convention to New
Orleans.
During the year the bureau distrib-
uted 10000 pieces of literature to in
quirers and visitors and conducted a
publicity campaign in Northern papers
and magazines to attract tourists to
New Orleans.
The increasing number of conven-
tions, it is declared, points to the need
of municipal auditorium.
Among the national conventions list
ed for 1922 in addition to the American
Legion and Knights Templar, are the
National Association of Sand and
Gravel Producers, Catholic Knights OF
America, Federated Film Exchanges
| of America and the National Coffee
Roasters' Association.
Regional gatherings include the
Southern Sash, Door and Millwork
Manufacturers Association, Southern
Pine Association, Southern Hardware
Jobbers' Association, Southern Seed
mems Association and the Interstate
Farm Conference.

which provides a penalty for the crea-
ton of a deficiency by government
official. This act provides that a gov
ernment official guilty may be fined
not less than 500 or imprisoned for
not less than ore month.
This act has been disregarded In
the past with the result that defic
iencies of from 100000 to $500.
OOO, 900 have been created yearly, the
budget director said, adding that the
president intends expenditures shall
be kept within the estimate presented
BY the budget.

The story is an adaptation of John

Those critics who have viewed '"The
