OUTLOOK FOR
 TRADE IMPROVED
Great Britain on Verge of Busi- ness Awakening-British De- creasing Speculative Opera tiOns-Money Easier.

Washington, Feb. 8.-World trade conditions have shown little improve ment since the first of the year. ex ceptlng in the Scandinavian countries and Belgium, but the prospects for the future are somewhat brighter. the Department of Commerce was in- formed today in reports from it's rep resentatives in Europe, Asia and South America.
 Living costs in Belgium and the Scandinavian countries were described as lower by Trade Commissioner Cross at Brussels and Commercial Attache Anderson at Copenhagen. The forecast for an improvement in all markets in Belgium as soon as exchange rates became more favor able, but said that general lowering of wages and increased unemploy- ment might be looked for before the end of February. Improvement in the exchange situation in Norway, Sweden and Denmark was noted by MT. Anderson.
 Great Britain was described as on the verge of financial improvement by Commercial Attache Page at Lon don, who said that the British were decreasing speculative operations and that banks had bolstered the money market by permitting greater free dom in the matter of loans. Reports were said to be current that the Bank of England would decrease it's dis count rates in the near future. Mr. Page advised of a noticeable increase in money investments in the British Isles by American fffnts and said that dock improvements were being made that would tend to relieve the ship ping situation.
 British industries were said by the London attache to be facing trou- blous period owing to the evident re- fusal of labor to consider wage re- auctions.
 Commercial Attache Mclean, at Rome, pointed out to the department that Germany was gaining a domi- nance in the Italian iron and steel markets.

REJECT PLAN TO
 HALT BUILDING
Senator Borah's Proposed Six Months Holiday Dies in Com mittee-England Not to Race United States.

Washington, Feb. 8.-The Senate naval committee has concluded from testimony of naval experts that it would be unwise and inadvisable to stop work for six months on capital ship building for the navy while ex- perts study the question of best types based on the lessons of the world war
 In response to Senator Borahs re- solution of inquiry as to the advisa- bility of such a move, the committee will report it's conclusions to the Sen ate probably tomorrow. Its report will be prepared by Senator Poindex- ter, Republican, Washington, who was instructed to draft it after final com- mittee action on the proposal today.
 The committee acted in executive session, but so far as could be learned there was no division of opinion, at least as expressed in the vote cast. Action was taken soon after members of the navy general board appeared to oppose the proposal. Previous to that the committee had heard Secre- tary Daniels and Rear Admirals W. IS. Sims, president of the Naval War College at Newport, R. l. and Bradley A. Fiske, retired, former aide for operations.
 Great Britain will not undertake race with the United States for sea power, Sir Phillips Gibbs, British war correspondent, declared today before the House naval committee. England hasn't the money, he said, and most Englishmen do not regard the Ameri- can navy as a menace"
 Sir Phillips said that before any agreement for disarmament could be reached by the principal powers the Russian question would have to be settled and the Russian people drawn back into the family of nations"
