The announcement was regarded as one of much importance by ofhciais- here, who are known to De. opposes S'ttir9 to any possible suggestion for. cutunS into present building plans of the War Department.
 The United States has no m1ne-lay- CT types at all but has three meet submarines of the so-called V-0pe under construction. These three boats are government designed ana are the last word in their class. They are mouth, N. H., Navy Yard. They are about 2OOO tons surface displacement, $40 feet long and have a surface speed of 21 knots
 Foreign Navies Lead
 Foreign navies, though, have eX- German navy having built, during the war, undersea boats of 2,2OO tons. The British Navy today haS~another tspe esT.ed Tn MlfVne Wf11n of " submarina which mounts powerful, large-callbre guns The American Navy also lacks r1s- tance cruiser submarines.
 The Navy considers that it is high ly important to the national defense that the United States construct at least three each of these last named types, if only for experimental and development purposes, so that in any national emergency the government would be able to proceed on larger scale with the types best suited to our needs.
 United States Has 1f2 Submarines
 The submarine force of the Ameri- can Navy today consists of 142 craft of all types and ages, including those authorized but still under construc- tion. At present 101 boats are in com mission, with il on the ways. The different classes of boats are desiS- mated alphabetically, commencing with the B-1, the oldest in the service, built during 19OO-1903. The E, D, E and classes, with four Lake-type N-boats, are now clrs1dered obsolete and are shortly to be withdrawn from service. The H. K, l., M and the other types have not a veryswide radius of action, but are considered useful for coast defense. The newer types. including the O. R and $ classes, represent a distinct improve ment on their predecessors, especially as to habitability. size and cruising radius, which latter is from 5000 to 10000 miles. Of the $ class there are three groups-the, Holland, Lake and >.oN ernment type.
 Some Are Unreliable
 The present design of the Holland engine it is stated by the Navy De- partment, has proved unreliable, so that the completion of 31 of the $ boats is being held up until the de- have been made. The Navy has three submarines of the T class, known as fleet submarines. They were built as an experiment, being the largest ever undertaken by tnlS government, put have not proved a success accom- panying craft for the fleets owing to the unrelia bnity of their engines and light torpedo armament.
 Under the present organization the1e are shore-based divisions and divisions based on mother ships, ca pablo. of moving about. The Subma- rine fleet is distributed on both coasts, in the Canal Zone, Hawaii and in the Philippines. With the development of the newer types an even more power ful distribution is expected, owing to the important place the submarine has achieved in naval strategy.

portant border cities, where close watch is kept They have made an intelligent study of the risk they face and have ways of routing. their charges which reduce to minimum the danger of detection.
 The men who are able and willing to pay for the service of these agents, it is said, have friends in the United States who have places waiting for them in stores and< shops. Most of them are from Russia and Poland.
 Their instructions include ways of avoiding trouble after they reach their havens in the United States. As m example, If they go to work in places in Chicago they tell of having worked for several years in Phi1a- delphia and are able to name places at which men Of their kind are em- ployed. If they go to Philadelphia they tell of having worked for years in Chicago.

 '-The problem of American ships has been that while we have mer- chandise for export shipment, only too often it is necessary for the ships to return in ballast.
 Should the Jones bill become law, our protection principle will be con- served, because, otherwise. the belief that we should engage in foreign trade may in course of time, result in a marked modification of our tariff laws, and this may not be necessary if we can maintain our foreign trade and our merchant marine through the medium of these free zones-''

FREE ZONES FOR
 FOREIGN GOODS
Only Method of Preserving Both High Tariff and Big Export Trade Banker Says.

Los Angeles. Oct. 6.-Henry M Robinson, formerly commissioner of the United States Shipping Board and now president of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, placed the question of free ports and free zones before the American Bankers Asso- cussion of the trade zone bill which Seantor Jones of Washington now has before Congress, which as now amended, provides machinery for the creation Of foreign trade zones in or adjacent to American ports of entry, and authorizes the secretary of com merce to grant to state and their legal subdivisions the privilege of estab- fishing such zones. He declared that whereas, under the bill. both foreign and domestic merchandise might be brought into free zone and there broken up, assembled mixed with foreign or domestic merchandise or otherwise manipulated for re-export. direct manufa curing. as such could not be carried on within the proposed diStricts-thiS in order to meet the wishes of interior communities and to a1lay their fears as to seaboard manufa cturins competition.
 Under the terms of this act" MT. Robinson said. mo duty is to be ap- piled to merchandise delivered from ship 70 wharf within a free zone un- less some part, or all. of it is taken out for domestic consumption, at whict time it will pass through the customs house and be subject to reg Nlar duty.
 Tt is automatic that, for the pro
 rtiOn of the American manufa C. t5rer. a method must be provided for the maintenance of a merchant ma rine which will carry abroad the sur plus of American manufactured goods; otherwise, these goods must continue to back upon our own mar kets and thereby, reduce the earnings of our manufacturers the profits of our merchants and the earning of American labor, itself.
 Econ omiStS generaly agreee that a surplus is the controlling factor It is not. therefore, reasonable to as sume that 1t is the backing up of our manufactured surplus and our inabil- ity to sell abroad that h4s brought about our unemployment situation
 Since the beginning. any nation which has engaged. with any appre- ciable degree of success, in interna- tional commerce has been either on a free list basis. or has maintained 3 one or more free ports or free zones
 For years, however. we. as a na- tion, have maintained a high tariff and. for half century our flag has been a comparative rarity upon the seven seas.
 Since the maintenance of a mer- chant fleet is obviously predicated on world trade. it is evident that a high maintenance of a merchant fleet with the financial and commercial accom-. paniments of those operations, arc inconsistent. but experiences of Flu that a modification of this inconsis- tency can be brought, about without definite injury to the principles in- volved in a protective tariff
 If the feeling continues to grow that We should engage in world trade and maintain a merchant fleet, as necessary corollary, the principle ot protection must, of necessity, bt
