Brands Speech
ByHs FHppancy
OHends British
Premier May Be Asked to
Visit London to Talk
Things OUer.

LONDON. Nov. 25.-The breach be,
tween England and France is rapidly
widening. What is described as
Premier Brands fiippancy" in his
speech in New York has given grave
offense here. 1t is possible that Prime
Minister Lloyd George may ask NJ.
BRAND to come to England to talk
things over on his return from Wash
ington. but nothing has been arranged
rs yet.
The story published in Paris that
Lloyd George is arranging an interna-
tional financial congress to be held
in London in January has been
definitely denied a. has also been the
story that Hugo SHINES had been in
touch with the government during
his stay In London. All Of these
stories are regarded as French prop
aganda to show how England is sid
ing with Germany against France.
The French government today noti-
fed the British that It could no longer
be responsible for the safety of Brit
ish subjects in the zone which the
French are evacuating in Cilicia un-
der the Angora treaty. Great Britain
is sending a warship TO Mersina to
take of Britons while Greece has al
ready sent three ships to take of its
nationals. Great Britain also will
rescue any Armenians who wish to
escape the Turks.
1t is not known in London whether
there are any Americans In this region,
but 1t Is supposed that there must be
some relief workers and teachers who
are sure to be in danger when French
restraint on the Turks is removed

JOINT COMMISSION
WILL RECOMMEND
NORTHERN CANAL
Will Put $3.50, 900, 900 Pro
ject Up to Congress
And Canada.

Construction of the st. Lawrence
ship canal by the United States and
Canada will be recommended to
Congress by the international joint
commission. Determination upon
this course was declared in a re-
liable quarter last night to have
been reached by the commission.
!. The commission's report, closely
following that of the engineers,
who reported favorably upon the
project and estimated that its cost
would be about $3.50. 900. 900. will be
submitted to Congress and the Do
minion parliament DecembeS Z, ac-
cording to the present plans of the
commission.
The commission had expected to
make its report public before that
date, but at a recent meeting de-
| termined that whatever IL had to
say upon this important subject
should f1rst be communicated to the
American and Canadian law-making
bodies. This means that RESPONSE
/ bility for American participation in
| the scheme will be put squarely up
| to Congress.
Favored by westerners.
The Western agrarian bloc. which
is all-powerful and comes near hav-
/ ing its way on most subjects, is
united in favor of the st. Lawrence
plan. Some OF the farmer legis-
lators are using the opportunity af-
| forded by the adjournment of Con-
gress to make a survey of the
situation and win votes for the
proposal.
| When the St Lawrence shin
canal plan comes before Congress. :"
Representative Mead, of Buffalo. de-
clared, "it will be opposed by two
other propositions. The first is a
plan for an all-American ship canal.
and the other the proposition ad-
vanced by Gov. Miller that the New
York State barge canal provides
everything that an enlarged ship
canal would. / rather think that
most of the New York members, re-
gardless of politics, will insist upon
the barge canal having a chance to
demonstrate its worth"
| sfec Thrtics Predfcfed.
As result of the recent inspec-
ton by members Of Congress of the
New York barge canal, which is
responsible for heavy inroads be-
ing made upon the strength of the
ST Lawrence Canal advocates, Il is
expected there will be some follow
ing for the idea that the barge canal
should be given a fair trial. The
members taking this stand, then,
VIII form one group; the st. Law
renee advocates a second, and the
supporters of the all-American
route the third.
As part OF the all-American
route. revised proposal has been
advanced by Millard F. Bowen, of
Buffalo. who would build sani-
tary canal around the outskirts Of
Buffalo, to connect Lakes Erie and
Ontario. This also would furnish a
vast amount of hydro-electric en-
\ ergy. The route would take the
place of the Welland Canal in the
ST. Lawrence scheme and would
give depth of thirty feet COM

EXPERTS CONSIDER
NAVYREDUCTIONON
GUN-BY-CUN BASIS
Land and Air Limitation
May Be Postponed for
Future Conference.

The committee examining into the
naval program detailed by Secretary
Hughes at the opening OF the arms
conference has not yet reached the
preliminary report stage. The experts
are still working out the gun by gun
and ship by ship comparative figures.
Meanwhile the japanese are awaiting
further instructions from Tokyo.
The three subcommittees which are
to work out II possible a program
dealing with aircraft, poison gas and
new international rules of warfare
will begin active consideration Of
these subjects probably next week.
Whether they will be able to work
out any program Is a matter Of doubt
in conference circles. In this con-
nection it was explained last night
that inasmuch as it will probably be
impossible for this conference to agree
upon Limitation of lana armaments
this subcommittee may be able to in.
itiate measures that will allow another
international gathering at some later
dare to take up that troublous question.
clared it is essential that new rules
be developed for the conduct OF war.
inasmuch as "all existing rules were
shot 10 pieces in the last war" What
now is wanted is the setting up OF
some form OF machinery that will
develop the views of international
jurists and limit war to methods that
are culled of frlghtfulness.
No committee has been named. OF
course, to dispose directly OF limita
tion of land armaments or even to
consider the subject as such
Brands vigorous speech prevented
this. But 1t will be possible to work
out, through the subcommittee au-
thorized last Wednesday, reform
methods that will possibly open the
way for a general statement on land
armament problems. In this con-
nection the aircraft program is more
than comprehensive. 1t Is proposed
that the committee shall examine
aerial navigation from these angles:
Quantity. Character. Use"
This will open the way for an en-
Geavor to define the difference be.
tween war craft and commercial
machines.
Problem of Poison Gas.
The committee dealing with
poison gas will consider:
Gas as weapon of warfare
whether justifiable for use as an Of.
fensive weapon and also As a defen-
sive agency. Kinds OF gas and how
its use against civilian enemies shall
be prohibited"
On the question OF new iptarn,
tional rules for warfare the sub.
committee assigned to that subiec,
has been told, in effect, that the
SKY is the limit" There are now
no rules for the conduct Of warfare
that have survived the recent con.
flict.
Speaking of the question OF abol.
ishment of land armaments In tbe
Pacific, officials of the Japanese
delegation declared yesterday tha,
the matter has not been considered
by them at all. Their experts. Of
course. will consider this when tb.
time comes. But up to the present

Soldiers Burn WorkhOuse.

DUBLIN. Nov. 25.-It is reported
that a detachment of the Irish re-
publican army burned to the ground
a workhouse in Rathkeale, County
Limerick, which they had been oc-
cupying. The British served notice
on the Irish republican army that
they intended to occupy the struc-
ture this morning, and yesterday
British troops were moved from
Limerick toward Rathkeale. The
British halted four miles from the
town to await the evacuation of the
building. The Irish decided not to
resist, but instead burned the build
ing. The question arises whether
the truce was violated. The mill
tary authorities are investigating.
but so far have not issued a state
ment.

REPORTED P'ARLEY
CLASHES DENIED
IN COMMUNIQUE
Hughes Defends Balfour.
Chinese Reply to False
RumOrs.

Specific and oficial denials Of two
stories published in a Washington
morning paper were issued yester-
day from the conference on the
Limitation Of armaments.
In the official communique issued
following the meeting OF the com
mittee on Far Eastern and Pacific
problems the following statement
was made:
AT the opening OF the session
Mr.. Hughes expressed his great re-
gret at the appearance of a report
in a Washington paper" 1.-THE paper
was the Washington Post although
the communique does not spe-
cifically name It'll "of alleged hap
penings in the last meeting Of the
committee. The report Of an
tagonism with Mr.. Balfour was not
only untrue but grotesque. and did
him the grossest injustice. Mr.
Hughes could not imagine how
such a rumor got into circulation
Mr. BalTour expressed his great
appreciation of Mr.. Hughes state
ment. He had never doubted that
Mr.. Hughes would take the view
he had just stated. but the manner
and words in which that view had
been put before the committee had
deeply moved him and he wished
to express his thanks
DIR. Wang Desie. CInsh.
Later in the day DIR. Chung-H
Wang. chief justice OF the Chinese
Supreme Court, taking cognizance
of reports that the Chinese had
quarrelled bitterly with the British
and also that they were contem-
plating boiling the conference and
returning home, said:
There has been no clash betweer
Great Britain and China, and ther,
has been no difference. with othel
nations. We do not intend to quar-.
rel with anyone. AS to the repor
that We were going to abandon thu
conference, this absolutely is with
out foundation. II took US 40 day
to come here, and we came to hell

we can get that will he for tn
benefit OF China. We are statin,
our case, and we are receiving every
attention and courtesy. We conn
IDENTIFY expect that this conference
will bring about a solution OF ou
difficulties"
AS climax TO the various con
tradictions, the Chinese Minister
under instructions from his govern
ment, issued the following state
ment:
