WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Co-oper- ation of state law enforcement off cials with those of the federal gov ernment were asked by Attorney General Daugherty in letters sent to- day to the Attorney generals of the states. Such cooperation, it was maintained, would result in better and more uniform enforcement of all statutes.
 Enforcement of the prohibition and the fuel and food supply laws were particularly referred to. MT. Daugh- erty explained in announcing dis patch of the letters.
 There was no disposition by the federal government to evade respon- sibility. he added. but there was a feeling that the states should make every effort to enforce their laws which might be duplication of fed eral statutes.
 The letters were also accepted in some quarters as a step in connec- ton with the move recently an nounced of Investigating retail prices.
 Mir. Daughterty suggested to the state attorneys general that they call conferences of county prose- cutors and. if possible, bring about "a coherent, working arrangement l between them and federal officials. l Such meetings. he added, ought to be held early next year, so that the l basis of understanding could be em- l ployed to effect economies in expen- l ditures as well as serve the real pur-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-Freed by President Harding from Atlanta fed eral penitentiary Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, was reprimanded to- night by Union Station police here for making a speech without a per init before leaving for Terre Haute, Ind.
 Before boarding his train Debs ad- dressed a crowd of several hundred persons in the station expressing his gratitude for his reception here and closing with a reiteration of his oppi- sition to war and belief in the force of love in the redemption of the world.
 No effort was made by uniformed police to interfere with the address but immediately upon it's conclusion a plain clothes man rushed up 10 Debs and demanded if he had had a permit to speak in the station. and on being informed in the negative de- clared:
 You have taken a great liberty Debs, who had grasped the plain clothes man by the hand under the impression that he was a well-wisher apoloCized and said he had not known he was doing wrong,

 The co-ordfnation sought. Mir. Daugherty said. ought to be of real help to municipal authorities. cham bers of commerce and others inter ested in reaching violations for ex- tortion in the prices now main tained"
 Referring to the cooperation which he asked, MT. Daugherty said:
 This will make for a better un- derstanding among the people. It will also afford an opportunity for the several states without duplication with the federal government to en- force laws which should be enforced by state authorities and leave for the federal government such duties as devolve upon it.
 The two principal offenses which l I have in mind are those against the liquor and the food and fuel supply laws. There is no disposition on the part of the federal government to
 evade any responsibility in respect to 1 it's duties. but the states. I believe. ! should first enforce their laws in re- l gard to the violations and the federal 1 government promptly cooperating 1 with the states, enforce the laws which should be enforced by it'' He added that he was desirous of l bringing about complete and eff l fective working system" among all | law enforcement authorities. saying 1 that only by such an arrangement could a uniformity of proceedings be 1 established and a similarity of fines
 and sentences be worked out.

 American people spend from $780, oOo,0Oo to s1,oO0, 900 year to see motion picture shows, the senate if

 arguments for and against & high
 tariff on foreign made pictures. The
 about s25o.0o0,00o and employment is given to about 25o,000 persons. Paul, M.

 He and John Emerson, an inde- pendent producer of New York, speaking for himself and for D. w.
 Griffith, urged a duty on imported
 films of from 50 to 60 per cent ad
 vaIoren in place of 30 per cent in
 the Fordney bill.
 Declaring that only high tariff stood between the industry and ex-
 termination, MT. Turner declared that at this time, 54 German made pictures were being exhibited in this country and that four or five had yielded the exhibitors s2,500,o00 American producers can not compete

r RENCH SENATE IN
 POWERFUL NAVY
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

PARIS, Dec. 27-France's deter imitation to have a powerful fleet and objections to the limitation ef- forts of the Washington conference were vigorously voiced in the senate today during a discussion of the ma rine section of the governments bud get. Senator Henry Berenger, who reported the marine budget, said France was at a decisive turning point. ''Is France still independent in her navy as in her army" he asked. Has the old principle of sovereignty been sacrificed somewhat been promised a sort of internationale of happiness?"
 Senator De Kerguezec. defended the submarine as an essential weapon of defense but wished it to be confined to military uses instead of being ap- piled to torpedoing commerce.
 At the Washington conference. " he said, we were surprised to see the French delegation demand 350.00o tons of capital ships when France does not desire 10 carry war into foreign waters. France desires nc imperialism, but if we found Ad- miral de Bon's proposal strange there are. nevertheless. limitation: which we cannot accept"
 Minister of Marine Guisthau re- plying to Senator de KerEuezec. saiC he was greatly affected by the re- marks about the Washington confer ence. but he asserted:
 Nothing has been proposed that reduces Frances powers Moreover he declared, no decisions reached al Washington would be effective unti the French parliament had approved them.
 He severely criticised the condi- ton of the navy. and other senators joined with him in urging speedy re- forms.
 Preceding the debate the maya commission had published a resolu- ton urging the minister of marinC to increase the number of submarines so as to adequately defend the coas line in view of the present weakness of the navy.
 The concluding paragraph of tils naval commissions resolution fol lows:
 "One cannot conceive. therefore that Frances efforts in this direc- tion should be obstructed or limited It is a question of national independ- | ence and of right of legitimate de | fense at stake
 The resolution was adopted in con. 1 nection with the naval commission ! report on it's program. based on tw' ! principles: That the French nav! must always be superior to the Ger man navy and sufficiently supreme il | the Mediterranean to safeguar, | French interests in North Africa ant | the Near East.
 ! The report credits France witt ! having 49 submarines, of which 15, i | is declared, will be obsolete by 1923 | These are to be replaced only by l provided in the present program. al ! though 24 others are scheduled fo 1 the indefinite future. The commis ! sion suggests two groups of under
 sea craft. one to be composed o
 short range and the other of long | range submarines.
