WASHINGTON, Nov, Is {By The
Associated Press).-Premier BRAND,
of France, addressing the armament
conference at the plenary session to-
day, said: so
II fully concur with what the Presi-
dent of the British delegation fMr
Balfour) said, when at the beginning
Of his eloquent statement he said that
this conference would be one of the
great landmarks in the history of
the world and of civilization, While
! do not. quite agree with him, at
least not to the same extent, as to his
feelings, as expressed, when he first
heard the statement made by the rep
resentative Of the United States, l
may say for my own part that when
coming here felt quite sure q great
people like the people Of the United
States could not have begun such
momentous initiative without having
some definite, clear-cut purpose.
think, gentlemen, that we have no
longer the right in those questions OF
peace and war, when we undertake to
promise to the world that there shall
be no more war. that there shall be
everlasting peace-after the painful
struggle from which we have just
emerged-we have no right to let the
people Of the world hope for final
peace unless we have made. up our
minds to prepare and to decide upon
the means that are most appropriate
in order to realize these hopes.
No Need for Cropping
"Many conferences and congresses
already have met in order TO try 10
carry out this noble idea, and Mr.. Bal.
four was quite right when ne pointed
out the great danger there was in lock-
ing at this question through the glass
of ideatism. But Mr., Secretary Mr..
Hughest, you have shown US the way.
You have shown that it was ne longer
a question OF groping for way out el
the difficultys You have struck out
boldly the Opportunity fen US by set-
ting the example may say that we
are hack Of you, Mr., Secretary.
"Of course, during these difficult.
arauous examinations OF the details of
the subject upon which, after all, de-
pend the practical realization, IT it hap,
pens that we are taken out OF the
straight way and feel the temptation Of
using the devious paths, we on the part
Of France are ready to join our efforts
to those Of other men .af good will and
help in returning to the fair, straight
road that would take ua to eur goal.
"The question with Which we have
first to deal mere Is, Of course. one that
manly concerns the great naval pow
ers. but ! may say, far my nart. that

ornaments as ars essentia! to its ss-
curity. This requirement must be fully
weighed in the examination of the plan.
With this requirement in view. certain
notifications will be proposed with re-
gard to the tonnage basis for replace
ment of the various classes Of vessels.
This subject should be referred to spe-
cial consideration by naval experts.
When such notifications are proposed
delegations will consider then, with the
same desire to meet cur ideas as we
have to meet theirs.

eepted will be the source Of the most
benetieent economic consequences. The
peace of the world cannot be perma-
nently maintained if you do not con-
slider the ways and means to re-estab-
lish the economic balance of the world.
Modern civilization is an economic
civilization and the modern world, in
spite of the distances and natural bar
riers, cannot be conceived except as a
single great economic system. This
economic system has been shattered
by the war, 1t is necessary now to re-
wise it and to get it into motion again,

first effective step toward giving the
world release Of such nature as to
enable 1t to start to work on it's eco
ncmic reconstruction.
"In respect to MIR. Balfour's reference
to the question ef French and Italian
aaval forces, may be allowed to say a
few words.
II think it rather difficult to separate

tho question Of italian and French
naval armament limitation from the
general question: Of the limitation Of
naval armaments Of the world. Ger
tainiy, as you have stated, Mr.. Chair
man. in your address, the question con-
corning the great naval powers must
be considered IN the first place, and
you have stated that the United States
proposes that this matter be left for
the later consideration Of the confer
ence. So we wish and feel sure, in &C.
cordance with your statement, that
the French and Italian naval, question
will be considered by the conference
before concluding the question lavolved
in your proposal.
"In conclusion, Mr.. Chairman, ex-
press in the name of the Italian dele
cation the most fervent wish that the
conference, taking your proposal as its
working basis, may lead to. a result
which would be extremely happy not
only for the powers directly interested,
but for the entire World."

Charity Drives.

The executive director of the Brook
lyn Federation Of Jewish Chari-
ties believes there should be a cen
trail body for charity control without
permission from which no drive
for money should be allowed in
New York city
There is such central body ac-
lively, If informally, functioning at
the present moment and it's decisions
are binding on all organizations
which seek money or its equivalent,
regardless of their motives, purposes,
management and affiliations.
This body is public opinion. 1t
may err occasionally in licensing the
active pursuit of cash by unworthy
persons, but it may be depended on
not to allow any really good cause to
go unassisted.
1t differentiates with extraordinary
astuteness between the essential and
the non-essential 1t knows not race,
nor creed, nor color, nor nationality
1t recognizes the need of resident
of Shantung as quickly as it does that
Of denizen of the ruins of the
AustroHungarian Empire. 1t has it's
own methods of procedure, it's own
means of enforcing it's decisions and
appeal from it's decisions can be made
to no tribunal higher than itself
1t seems to THE New YORK HERALD
this body for the direction of charity
is about as competent as any other
would be. 1t has the merit of being
informal and unsalaried. 1t supports
no expensive press bureau. 1t has no
paid executives. 1t has not been sub
jected to the process of factoryization
which has alienated from so many
charities popular interest.
Why seek to disturb it?

Two Wonderful Sights.
Wild Pigeons In Clouds and Donati's
Comet in the ,60s.

To THE New York HERALD: As a. boy
living at Union Square, Oswego county,
this State. I remember with great in
terest the wonderful fiocks of wild pig
cons which flew over my home in the
early days of the sos. II was not un-
common to see these focks "a mile wide
and ten miles long passing over every
few days. They were like a cloud in
the sky. darkening the sunlight.
We were told that the pigeons were
on their way to their nesting places in
the forests OF northern Pennsylvania.
Now and then disabled bird would
drop to the ground, but never heard
Of gun being fred at the fiocks or In

we saw nothing more Of them. Exter-
mination must have been effected In the

dread. People told us that comets were

pasture to milk tho cows In those days.
Near sunset the comet used to appear
in the east, and as IL grew darker its

be forgotten. CHARLES r. SKINNER.

Every Citizen a Fire Marshal.

The 1920 fire loss in the United
States reached the staggering total
of S500,0O0,000. This is s1,370,0O0 a
day. The average annual per capita
fire loss for five years ended De-
cember 81, 1920, was $2.71.
Eighty per cent of the loss is due
to wilful or careless incendiarism.
The criminal who seeks insurance
money through arson and the heed
less smoker who throws burning
matches into waste baskets are re-
sponsible for four-fifths of this loss.
They cost the country 100000, 900
in 1920; they cost, on the average,
every American $2.17 every year
from 1915 on.
The firebugs who burn property for
insurance are difficult to catch, but
the police and the courts can deal
with them. They would be compare
lively easy to handle if it were not
for those who burn property through
reckless carelessness. If all the en-
ergy Of fire prevention bureaus, fire
departments, policemen and insur-
ance men could be devoted to sup
preston Of fires resulting from crimi-
nal acts, acts of Con and faulty equip
ment we should soon see the end of
the terrific waste that now burdens
us. But the most effective policing
possible cannot control the fool who
plays with fire.
Our fire loss is an indictment of
our intelligence, an affront to our
reason, mockery of our boasted
economic methods, and it will never
be reduced until every American ap.
points himself fire prevention Off.
Ger and enforces on himself the ele-
mentary teachings of safety first.

Motorists, Beware!
Don't Trust the Borrower Who
Knows Your Garage.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Here 10
a new one-at least it is new to me-
and think 1t would be well for your
readers to hear of it.
Coming up West street yesterday
morning a quite well dressed. elderly
looking man.. standing In front of q
garage. shouted at me and ! did hesi-,
tate about stopping. but thought possi-
bly, 1t might be some one who really
wanted me and SO did stop my car.
The man came over % me and asked me
what he should do. saying his car was In
the shop there and the bill for repairs
was $40 and he had only brought s66.
When told him I did not know any
thing about it he naturally was sur
prised. and said: "Of course. you know
my car in the garage right around the
corner from where you do. and / live
in the next block to you and your name
Is -" and he actually called
name which sounded great deal like
mine, so, to make a long story short,
handed him $40 bill and he handed
me SIS in one dollar bills and thanked
me most profusely, and I being In q
hurry did not stop to ask any ques-
tions, but drove on with the assurance
from the gentleman that he would have
the money at my home at o'clock that
night.
Well, of course. the man was not
there and the money was not forthcom-
ing, and to-day I stopped at the garage
on West street and was told that they
knew nothing of the gentleman, nor had
they made any repairs on car for q
gentleman by that name.
1t looks as II am what Is called
good thing. but I want to warn
other motorists against this trick.

At Boyle's Thirty Acres.

At Boyle's Thirty Acres yesterday
the expected happened. JACK DEMP-
sEY knocked GEORGES CARPENTIER out.
The heavyweight pugilistic champion
of the world successfully defended
his title. He was the better man in
the ring, and before the end Of the
fourth round he showed it.
Yet his demonstration of fighting
superiority was accomplished under
circumstances which would leave a
bitter taste in the mouth of a sensi-
tive man. He went into the ring
with the majority of his own coun-
trymen roofing for his opponent. For
the first time in history ring cham
pion on his own soil fighting a for
eign challenger for an important
sporting title had the experience of
listening to sincere-not merely po-
lite--cheers for his opponent. For
the first time in this country an
American fighter went into the ring
against an alien without practically
unanimous popular support.
If DEMPSEY were easily upset,
surely this would have upset him.
But he was not upset, and perhaps he
figures that with 100000 as the win
ner's share of the purse in his pocket
he can afford to forget the sentiment
against him.
CARPENTER had the crowd; DEMP-
sEr had thepunch. The punch won;
It is the history of the world.

Ohio Husbands in Peril.
Twenty-eight Said to Have Beer
Killed by Wives In a Year.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In Ohio
there have been In the last year twenty
eight murders by wives OF their hus~
bands. and all the wives were acquitted
except two or three.
In most cases they were deliberate
murders. When deliberate murder was
proved the defence fell back on plea
of self-defence. 1t was evident tho
murderesses could have easily got away
from harm. And every one had a re-
volver and the husbands had none.
The defence in some cases was ridio-
ulous. Some owned UP they shot their
husbands because they threatened them.
and one even raised a chair to hit her.
Now most Of these women have been ao-
quilted.
In court they pretend to faint and to
suffer from exhaustion and to be so
overcome that they shed copious floods
of tears-so different from their mur-
derous spirit-sinlply to work on the
judge and jury.
When a man murders a wife he Ia
treated like a brute and all cry out
"Hang the brute!' and he is soon
hanged or electrocuted. Have we no

buildings and schools, destroying the
portraits of LENINE and TRoTzKY and
wrecking the communist headquar-
ters.
The chief elements of their success
were two: the Government secretly
supported the Fascisti their very
boldness and aggressiveness carried
their radical antagonists off their
feet and paralyzed their efforts at op-
position. No force could have more
completely revealed to the nation the
weakness of extreme socialism than
did the Fascist.
The Fascista movement will very
likely pass, for, as Signor PREzzoLINt
says, lit has no definite theories, nor
has it a lasting interest" Italy is
not country of well defined political
parties, and 1t is a country where
the majority is often guided by mo-
mentary considerations. The Fas-
cista movement proved itself a justi-
fable reaction from socialistic ex-
cesses, and for the time being it is
Of great Importance. 1t must be rec
ognized for what 1t Is and for what
it may continue to accomplish until
its purposes are won, but at the
same time it must be acknowledged
that its power in the hands of the
INSCRIPTIONS or the overambitious
politician may become more of a
peril than a blessing to the State.

The Wand of the Country.

There used to be little handbook
of unfamiliar restaurants in Europe
that guided the feet of many ambu-
liant gourmets in search of what was
most characteristic in the strange
places they visited. Maybe it's util-
ity has passed with the changes
wrought by the war, but it served a
useful purpose in bringing to light
the resorts of the natives as opposed
to those designed for the entertain
ment of tourists.
Americans have learned that in
their own country there are similar
Characteristic places of entertain
ment. There are restaurants in
tended for the stranger who accepts
the conventional and more or less
standardized menu of the large hotel,
and there are others meant to satisfy
the visitor in search of local color,
if not, indeed. more tangible re-
minders Of the locality. In the lat
ter class no means of refreshing the
stranger has become more popular
than the cafeteria.
This hospitable institution, which
New York is slowly adopting under
the name of the self-service restau-
rant or some similar description,
originated on the Pacific coast. It's
domain quickly extended, the East
being the last to surrender to its con-
venience. 1t has always attracted
the intelligent, discriminating seeker
for the food, IL not the wine, of the
country. He knows he may find
there what is native to the cuisine
of the region he is visiting.
The experienced traveller knows
that in the Southern hotel the corn
bread will be just as smooth and
sugared as in any Northern restau-
rant, but the same food in a cafe
terra patronized by the citizens of q
Southern town will be made with the
large grained corn meal of the South
ern millers. In the Far West the
chile con carne of the cafeteria will
be the highly seasoned dish that the
native palate Graves, not a mild COM
pound for the visitor from afar. The
frogs legs Of the Northwestern cafe
terra are not served in imitation of
some remote French model. They
are cooked with the edible simplicity
the people demand.
Thus does the cafeteria In every re.
gion which has adopted this institu-
tion of the multitude supply, with
its native cooks appealing to local
taste, the real food of the country.

Whaling Off Patagonia.
The Industry Lets the Raw Material
Seek IL.
From Com merce Reports.


The seas to the south and east Of
Patagonia abound with whales, but very
little attention has been given by the
Argentinians to the whaling industry
However, there Is one Argentine COM
pany with whaling post in the South
Georgia Island. which is located about
1000 miles to the southeast of Buenos
Aires and about 800 miles to the east
of the Falkland Islands. The company
has four whaling ships OF about eighty
tons each operating at the island and
one sa-iler engaged in the transportation
of oil and fertilizer to England. Two
more whalers have been ordered in Nor
way and will be delivered in time for
the 1s21-22 season. The capital of the
company is entirely Argentine: the
manager is a Norwegian and the tech
nioal personnel Is largely Scandinavian.
This company has been operating since
the year 1904.
track of the whales coming from the
Antarctic Ocean in their migration to
the north during the mating season In
the month of November the whales be-
gin to move past the island toward the
African coast and across the Atlantic
to a northern location between Brazil
and northwest Africa. where the young
are hatched. In their return the whales
begin to pass Georgia In February and
March. No whaling Is carried on at
the island from June until October be-
cause Of the violent winter storms
The Argentine whaling company oper-
ates entirely from the land. sending out
the boats daily from Georgia to dis
tances forty to fifty miles from the
island The captured whales are brought
back to the land. The company keeps
a personnel varying from 200 TO 1000
and operates an extracting plant and
crushing mill on the island. The annual
production Is from 5000 to 10000 bar
rels of whale oil and about 5000 bar
rels of seal oil, although the production
last year was only approximately 20.-
600 barrels OF whale and 2.300 barrels
Of seal oil. Thu decrease was due to
strike and TO ars restriction of seal
fishing by the Government of the Falle-
land Islands. These seals are not of
the fur skin variety.
The company disposes of from 5000
to 10000 barrels of oil In Argentina
for local consumption and exports the
remainder directly to England in It's one
sailing ship. Five classes of whale oil
and two grades OF seal oil are pro-
duced. Only recently has this company
begun actively to produce fertilizer, and
the expectations are that the plant will
produce 1900 metric tons OF ground
fertilizer a year.
