PROJECT FOR CONFERENCE
 IS MODIFIED

Paris, Dec. s1-(By the A. P)- The economic conference of allied bankers and manufacturing interests which has been considering measures for re-establishing the international credit of Europe, agreed today upon the draft of @ project for an interna- tional consortium which will be sub mitted to the allied supreme council at Cannes. A representative of Ja-- pan today joined the British, French Italian and Belgian delegations in the conference
 The project, as drawn up in Lon don. has been modified slightly as the result of dicussions between Brit ish and French interests here
 The idea is first to upbuild the pub lie utilities, railways and kindred agencies a in countries where economic stagnation is due to lack of tT-aTspor- tation The assets Of the countries thus aided will be pledged as security for the loans involved in cases where the consortIum has not given con cession for operation
 The capital of the consoTtiun will be definitely fixed only after the council at Cannes has passed upon the scheme. Sums varying fron3 rom 15OOO.OOO pounds to 70, ,OoV,e0e pounds are talked of.

MESSAGES
 FROM OVERSEAS
By FRIEDRICH EBERT, President of Germany.


 News Service.)
 Berlin, Dec 31.-Despite the un- speakabhe distress wFaicie the German people are now passing through we must not give up hope for 8. better future. The crux of the present mis- cry is generally recognized to be chiefly economic disintegration, but economic recovery is impossible with out spiritual and moral regenera. ion
 The war caused an excess of po1it- ica1 Selfishness. lust or power and Un- bridled hatred; consequently the true healing of war wounds is possible only through human fellowship, mod eration and the equalization of gen uine peace. These can be achieved only from co-opera ion of all peo- pies.
 No nation or government must for get that each is only a link in the great chain of humanity. When one becomes sick and the remaining do not succor ii ali the others inevitably become infected.
 h our great misery it is certain consolation to see that this realiza- ton downing upon the rest of the world The German people surely have not reached the end of their :;itfTerings for we know there are hard trials still ahead. But in time of stress the forces Of the nation must exert to the utmost their strength and energy to work for a better future. Therein I see the guarantee of better iT,1aS

BRITAIN " A NIT s SUBS MADE
 PIRATES"
By GEORGE R. HOLMES.

Washington. Dec. 31-The drafting experts of the five big naval powers started work today on the construo- ton of a treaty which will incorpor- ate the decisions of the Washington conference and define the limits of the worlds greatest navies for the next ten years.
 Actual completion of the document must await the gathering up of sev- eral loose ends of the naval agree ment but in its main essentials the agreement already Is perfected and ready to put on paper. The one out standing feature yet to be determined is the question of whether submarines are to be "outlawed' as demanded by the British and American gov ernments. Japan France and Italy have not agreed to this far-reaching provision and the matter is now un- der consideration in Paris. Tokio and Rome.
 Other details yet to be adjusted will present little difficulty, it is ex- peoted and the prospects today were that two more weeks will see the treaty drawn up and signed.
 The treaty will be written about four main points as follows:
 1. The United States and Great Britain shall each retain 500,000 tons of capital ships, Japan 300,00 and France and Italy each 175,00O tons with no vessel armed with guns great CT than 8 inches.
 Tn auxiliary S1lpS, Such as CrulS- CTS, torpedo boats. etc, the powers are free to build as many as their t1-easuries can stand, but none are to be greater than 1000 to-. nor mount guns of greater calibre than inches.
 2. In airplane carriers, the United States and Britain each are to have five, Japan three and France and Italy two each with none greater than 2T.- 0G0 tons in size nor mounting guns of greater calibre than s inches.
 1. A 1O-year naval holiday is to be observed solely in the matter of capi- tai ships with provisions laid down as to methods of replacement, etc.
 The British want the submarines made Pirates" as a matter of rec ord, although they freely admit they place little faith in paper agree ments'' covering so deadly menace as submarines.

By HENRY BARBUSSE. Famous French Publicist and Poiiti-
 cal Expert.

Paris, Dec. 31-I do not think that 1922 will see many notable changes in the present state of affairs. I am Of the opinion that the world is now oscillating between two great alterna- lives from the social point of view. The idea of a new order of affairs is diam critically opposed to the present "order" It aims at the disappear ance of sovereignty, of the individual element, that is to say Of the masses. Socialism in the world has not yet attained the age of old men and al ready it moves and fernents hun &-ads of millions of individuailities. It is certain that the new reorganization will one day or another replace by mere force of circumstances and by strensth Of humanity the still deeply rooted structure
