U. S. NoT REPRESENTED
by the Associated Press

Barcelona. March 11.-Delegates of
| thirty eight nations attending the in.
| tcrnational conference on communica-
tions and transit. In session here. we're
prepared this morning to begin serious
consideration Of the program outlined
yesterday by Gabriel Hanotaux. Of
France. the presiding officer. The most
important matter before the meeting
was the appointment Of n committee to
draft pact relative to transport.
This convention was described yes-
tcrday by Count Quinones de Leon.
Spanish ambassador to France. as being
to the development Of international com
mcrce; the expansion. progress and
equality of peoples and the we'll being
of humanity" It will be an attempt
to settle international controversies rel
ativc to railroads, waterways and
ports.
Count Quinoncs de Leon called at.
tention to the presence of delegates
from countries discovered By Spanish
cXplorprS and declared that he was glad
to see that they, by their presence here.
gave proof of their relationship with
Spain.
Regret regarding the absence of dele.
gates from the United States and Ar
gentina was expressed by many dele
gates yesterday. and NJ. Hahotaux re-
fcrred to the United States by saying I:
"Our thoughts are with the absent. I"
He said that as Spain had been one Of
the first countries to Join the League

the present conference is being held. II
seemed natural that the first tcrhnical

on Spanish soil.
Later in the meeting NJ. HanotauI
referred to the Overwhelming i'm.
portnnce" of the pact to be framed
here which. according to the Versailles
treaty. must come into force within
five years after tho conclusion of the
war. II" declared it would form great
feature in the relations of the world in
future, because it would facilitate COM
mcrcial communication and the distri-
button of necessary articles. German
delegates have arrived to attend the
conference, but will act only in a con-
Sultative capacity.

NO PITY FOR FAT MEN
Obese Persons Those Who Get
Drunk on Food. Saws Saxant

Drunk on Food, Says savant
A fat man Is one who gets drunk on
food he IL as bad az the man who gets
drunk on alcohol.
This Ia the opinion held by DR.. la
fayette II. Mendel, professor of physio
logical chemistry at Yale University
delivered In an address at the Franklin
Institute last night.
The penalty Of taking too much al
cohol IL well known" said the speaker
"and q drunkard is looked upon with
contempt or pity. Rarely do persons
who become fat deserve pity, because OF
any tendency to put on weight despite
moderate eating. Usually, these persons
should be placed in the same category
with the alcoholic"
DIR. Mendel's talk dealt with chemi
cal factors in nutrition.

Daniels Would Ban Subs

Charlotte, y. c., Dec. 22.-unlesss
the submarine is destroyed root and
branch" an agreement reached TOR
reduction Of land armaments and the
aircraft problem solved, the Washing
ton conference will have failed to live
up to its full duty and privilege,
Josephus Daniels, former secretary
of the navy, declared in an address
last night before the Charlotte Rotary
Club. The only progress made toward
armament reduction, he said, has been
in the case of the dreadnaught, and
during the world war, he added, the
"drcadnaught, considered the back
bone of a nations fighting strength,
was tied up in harbor."
The submarine, Mr.. Daniels said,
was a greater factor in the world war
than all the capital ships, while bomb
ing planes, he predicted, will be the
greatest danger in any possible tu-
turp war.

Beer and Wine
issue BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE
Chairman Fordney Announ-
ces Soldier Bonus Will
Be Considered
PROPOSAL attacked
Pointed Out That Proposed Measure
Would Conflict With State Prohi-
btiOn Laws.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Feasibility
of raising funds for soldier bonus
by tax on beer and light wines will
be considered by the House Ways and
Means Committee, Chairman Ford
ney announced today, after the
Christmas recess when the commit
tee takes up the adjusted compensa-
tion question, particularly the phase
relating to the raising of revenue to
finance it.
The possibility of a tax on bever-
ages with small alcoholic content
will be looked into Mr.. Fordney
said, to determine whether it would
be advisable and constitutional to
lift the prohibition ban sufficiently
to permit their sale.
Mr.. Fordney conferred today with
Secretary Mellon but said later the
bonus question had not been discus
sed.
Other suggestions put forth by
members of the House for financing
bonus include a variety of sales
taxes on different commodities and
different classes of manufacturers
and business men.
Tn an address in the House Rep
resentative A. P. Nelson, Republi-
can, of Wisconsin, commenting on
the proposed payment of a bonus by
a tax on light wines and beer, de-
clared former service men would not
look with favor on any plan to raise
revenue ''in an outlaw traffic in order
to meet their legitimate demands for
adjusted compensation.
Even if Congress attempted to
permit the manufacture and sale of
beer. and wine, Mr.. Nelson said ap-
proximately 40 State prohibition
laws would prevent it's sale. Friends
of prohibition enforcement, he pre-
dicted, will present '..'united front
against this scheme for multiplying
prohibition" :
Declaring there were plenty of
sources Of revenue open for actual
needs without trying "to legalize
what the Constitution prohibits" Mr..
Nelson asserted that "to attempt to
tie the veterans of our country's
battles to the dead body Of the liq-
uor traffic is an outrage"
"No soldier" he added, "wants
money coined from blood and tears"
hand to seal the wall.
