Belfour, head of the British delega-
tion, proposed an amendment to this
section making the prohibition bind
ing upon the five powers regardless
of acceptance or rejection by other
nations.
Consideration of the details of the
naval limitation program were rele-
gated far into the background, how
ever, by the sharp clash between
Albert Sarraut and Mr.. Balfour over
the submarine issue and its likely
effect on the relations between
France and Great Britain. This
break between the chief delegates
of the two leading European powers
was the absorbing topic of conver-
sation in conference circles.
The seriousness Of the general
conference situation was emphasized
by a revisit to the White House by
Secretary Hughes. He was closeted
with President Harding for more
than an hour. His attitude when
he left the White House gave the
impression to his questioners that
marked difference of opinion had
arisen between the president and his
secretary Of state.

ELIAS STORE TO Be
REOPENED SOON.
Popular Corner Again To
Serve Public.

Probably the best corner on Main
Street Of New Iberia, from mer-
chandising standpoint has been idle
for the past several months, and con
sequently the head of Bridge Street
looked rather dull. We refer, of
, course, to the King building, at the
corner of Main and Bridge Streets,
which has been occupied FOR some
time by the Elias store This store
has been closed since last Spring.
Hundreds of people throughout the
parish had been accustomed for years
to do great deal of their shopping
at this corner, and they will no doubt
be pleased to know that the building
is again to be opened up as gener-
al drygoods and clothing store, with
better stock Of goods than when it
was closed last Spring.
A brother of Mrs. Elias Elias is
even now in New York selecting the
stock for their grand opening, and
by the end of the present month the
doors will be opened to the public, in
plenty Of time to accommodate their
old friends with an excellent selection
of Fall and Winter goods. A force
of workers will be busy cleaning up
next week getting ready for the ar
rival Of the merchandise, and every
thing will look lively again at the
Big Store on the corner.
Mr.. Elias returned to New iberia
last Thursday, together with Mrs
Elias who has been visiting her par
ents in Greenwood, Mississippi, dur
ing the summer. The new store. will
be under the general managership of
Mrs. Elias, with Mr.. Elias directing |
the sales force.
It is with a great deal of pleasure
that we welcome this young mechant
ack into our commercial circles, and
into the~civic affairs Of our city, as
he was always one of the first to
,ome forward whenever any good
was started.

FACTORY INTERESTS OF
LA. ORGANIZE.
Iberia Man Is Placed On
Board of Directors.

Most people think of Louisiana as
an agricultural state, and in very few
minds does the manufacturing imp
ortance of the state get passing
thought.
However, this phase Of Louisiana's s
greatness is now due to come in for
its full share of recognition.
Last Friday, in New Orleans. re-
presentatives Of all the great factory
interests met, and organized what is
to be known as the Louisiana Man
ufacturers Association.
From among the most widely known
names in the state were chosen the
officers and board of directors Of the
new body, and Of special interest to
lberians is the fact that one of our
local citizens has been given place
on the Board, this being Mr.. Henry
N. Pharr. Of Olivier
To give our readers an idea of the
extent of the manufacturing interest
of the Pelican State, we will quote
some liros from the reports made at
the meeting in the Crescent City.
Counting only the larger establish
ments, those represented at the or
ganization meeting comprise more
than 1000 concerns, with an annual
payroll of one hundred million dol
lars. an investment of $500,000, 900,
and an output of S676.l90,000 for the
year 1919, which was an increase of
172 percent from 1914.
The main purpose in organization
is to secure favorable legislation, and
developing a sentiment favorable to
the business. 1t seeks to show by ed
ucation what is beneficial to industry
and prosperity, and takes
the general stand that what is good
for manufacturers is GOOD for the /
state as q whole, and what is good
'or the state as whole is good for
he manufacturers.
